I think @GoBills808 point is that they can say “if we had great WRs we’d be chucking bombs all day” but the organization has made it plain as day with their actions that that is not a priority imo. It’s like when the Steelers say they need better QB play but always seek out bandaids and 1 year guys instead of targeting a highly drafted prospect. They are showing you what they prioritize.

Can we link the topic where folks were saying Poyer was never gonna play?

Does McDaniel have a hot seat if he is almost a guaranteed fire at this point

I don’t disagree entirely because I do think this is what McD and Brady want, but I think the stress it puts on Josh is magnified with poor pass catchers. There is no scheme that Josh should be running around for 10 seconds without anyone getting open to end up sacked. It looks far to laborious to complete routine passes. 4 games with under 20 completions is crazy lol.

He is AJE 2.0, including the red shirt year where they try to mold him into something. His role is to replace AJE as a rotational DE.

Phones are not ringing off the hook for teams interested in trading their healthy players for our injured ones.

Shavers didn’t belong on an NFL roster…. Last year.

The point is it doesn’t need to change your outlook to enjoy it.

Listen I’m as pessimistic on this regime as anyone. i enjoyed the heck out of watching James Cook run all over the Panthers. You can do both.

They lost their best WR and second best WR for the basically the entire year last year. For context, that would be like the Bills losing Shakir and Palmer for like 80% of the season.

He’s the #1 if healthy lol

Of course we are.

Jesus again

Nah they huddled. its just crazy to watch. Every single routine play against them needs deliberation.

Can we just get a call immediately on the chiefs for once holy *****

What does “getting the passing game going” mean to you?

I mean it’s one clip out of context but I don’t love it. if he isn’t a culture fit and isn’t a talent fit, he’s a disaster pick when we needed to hit a WR lol.

In the NFL, if you aren’t getting better, you are getting worse. And we got worse on offense, in large part because we refused to try to get better.

Our lead for what? The one seed? I mean it would be nice. But the 1 seed Bills hosting the 3 seed Chiefs in the AFCCG in Buffalo isn’t giving me or anyone a ton of confidence I don’t think tbh.

There was never a reason to be super optimistic imo. we watched basically the same team fall short last year with Josh playing at an MVP level and just hoped he would maintain that for another 19 games and that the Chiefs would fall apart.

He also went to the AFCCG lol.

The Bills FO didn’t make the Diggs trade happen. Diggs did. I think it’s frankly obvious the Bills didn’t want to move Diggs and eat a massive cap hit. Jeudy would need to make things untenable in the locker room. Which basically would be the same reason any player would get moved. If Jefferson demands a trade and says he won’t suit up for the Vikings, that would be great too but unlikely.

Feel like we saw that with our two losses already this year, right

Josh isn’t perfect. i do think Josh is playing under duress with a receiving group that can’t get open consistently enough to make it easier for him. More support for the superstar QB to make superstar plays just makes sense. The greatest QBs of all time fluctuate in performance in relation to their supporting cast.

I don’t agree that James Cook is the best player on offense but I do think that his delta from his performance and a league average performance is maybe 2-3 wins at this point. And there’s no one else sans Josh that is even close to that. He is as single-handedly winning games as any running back can be. He is the only other dude with juice on the team.
