You're right. They're people first and foremost, and we should try to remember that. If any of those things were you listed were the case, I'd hope the coaches would have the grace to not call him out on effort in front of the national media then. That being said, it's possible they don't know too.

Hamler's career got railroaded due to a heart condition and a knee injury. Hardman is a known quantity. I'm not really interested in arguing about it, since neither are really going to make a difference to the offense at all. It just seems like a wasted opportunity to coach a speed guy up for ~2 seasons and then bring a guy off the street who basically does the same thing in theory. Maybe Hamler is just bad. I don't know, but I don't have a ton of faith in the WR evaluation abilities of the Bills right now.

This is sort of my main problem with Brady this season. Everything feels predictable. Kincaid in? Passing play. Under center? Running play. Shotgun? Passing play. There's a serious lack of tendency breaking and the willingness to adapt in situational moments. I don't know if it's just hubris or what but it really looks like the Bills just call their plays in spite of whatever the defense is doing. Allen and Cook are just good enough to mask it.

Serious question: Is he that much better than KJ Hamler that they needed to bring in someone who doesn't know the system and has no chemistry with the QBs? I like that they're trying to find an answer, I just hate that they needed to wait until it was only scraps left to do it.

Wrong draft, but same sentiment. We drafted Dewayne Carter instead.

Wanted him in the third so badly.

It’s wild to me if that’s the case. The guy has every opportunity right now to be a superstar. An MVP qb, no real WR competition or pressure around him, and the entire city looking for him to step up. What more could you ask for to get some effort?

I think he’s looked excellent given he’s been thrown right into the fire. I think he could easily grow into a CB1, which is sorely needed with Benford’s regression this season.

It’s almost identical to right before Dorsey was fired if I remember correctly.

Gabe Davis coming back is Duke Williams 2.0. Nobody is going to change my mind on that.

I mean I would trade Jeudy for any WR not named Shakir in a heartbeat. Zay Flowers is way better than anyone in this room. You might have a point with the Giants, but they do have Nabers and got unlucky. The raiders are bad too, fair.

I’m not trying to hand wave away the pressing, because it’s a legitimate critique, but who wouldn’t be pressing when this is what you’re given to work with?

Anyone who thinks Allen’s play and ability is even in the top 10 of the Bills’ problems is delusional. This is probably the worst WR room in the modern NFL era. Combine that with extremely predictable playcalling and we are seeing what it looks like when a generational talent is handcuffed with trash around him. I saw a guy giving it his all while nobody else stepped up at all today. A total team failure that starts with the coaching.

It’s so hard to choose when a coach has so many signature losses. Today was a coaching meltdown though, both from McD and Brady. It was like if 13 seconds was a whole game.

We live in a simulation and the only purpose of it is to see how disappointed they can make Bills fans, nothing else makes sense.

Miami has backup TEs wide open. Im trying not to get too negative but man I’m spiraling now.

I don’t know why any of you are shocked Allen tried to force one in. He ran about 140 yards in scrambles that drive to wait for someone to get open. The WR room is not doing their jobs, end of story.

Insane that Allen has to do so much improvising for players to get open downfield.

It’s almost like we should have traded for someone.

If this isn’t the slap in the face to Beane that he needed to get deals done then I don’t know what is. The dolphins aren’t even trying to stop anything downfield. What does that say about your team?

Well kiss the division goodbye after this performance. Buck stops at McDermott, he did not get this team ready to play.

So far this has been a complete coaching failure on both sides of the ball. McD won his regular season Super Bowl and now this is the hangover. No other real explanation for it. A coaching disaster and awful preparation.

We lose Hoecht and it looks like the defense completely doesn’t know what to do now. Good thing we kept all those draft picks though…

Nice to see Brady is back into form calling absurd trash in situational moments that really matter. Do that stuff on 2nd and short, not 4th and 1 when you’re down 7. Why do they insist on making everything so hard?

"Going up to Buffalo's not an easy thing. That stadium was rocking. That place was electric. Shout out to all the Bills Mafia that was talking all the [expletive] in the world. I love it. It's a sacred place to play a football game. I cherish every game that I get an opportunity to go up there." - Travis Kelce
