I would not add more Josh designed runs until January.
I would like to get Cook the ball in the flat more. I would like to see him in the backfield and motioned out wide too.
imo, that’s the secret to get the spy off Josh that has clipped his wings in the scrambling game. Cook with a single guy to beat in the flat or on a wheel route is an easy win for the Bills over the long haul imo.

I don’t mean to imply that Tre and Po aren’t positive contributors because they certainly are. It was interesting to see that Hairston (50%) and Hancock (47%) split reps evenly with Tre and Po, respectively. I suspect that’s because McD and Co. can plainly see that they need that superior athleticism on the field, especially against offenses like KC. I think the youngsters will see increased snap counts as the season progresses, too.
Again, that’s not a dis on the two vets who were mainstays in the secondary in previous seasons; just another reminder that father time catches up to all of us.
There’s a harder ceiling on great defensive plays when the athleticism wanes a bit.
Cole nearly had a pick six on Worthy because he was flying in there like a missile. He has not been perfect this year, but if he does recognize a play to be made, he has the wheels to get there.
Hyde’s iconic pick against Mac Jones is a TD if he is half a step slower. That’s just how thin the margins can get in coverage.
@Simon had the great point that this staff needs to be comfortable taking some lumps with the yoots now so they can progress through the year.

Yea the worry isn't that this stat is misleading - it's not. It is that without the incredible efficiency Brady has generally been able to coax out of this offense with Josh at the helm it struggles. There is no "cheat code" for the days or even the drives when they are less efficient.
Yeah it’s how much they need the “perfect” to be great.
A missed block for a 2 yard loss on first down? We are less than great.
A procedural penalty for a 2nd and 15? We are less than great.
3rd and 10 in an obvious passing situation? We are less than great.
We are stylistically so different from
the Niners with Jimmy G, but that’s what this offense reminds me of. When we are rolling and running the ball well and staying on schedule, we are a wagon offensively.
If you can bottle us up a bit and get us behind the sticks, it pays off for the defense.

So this is something I picked up on the broadcast.
the first few series, Joey Bosa was annihilating the Chiefs RT.
Later, to my eye, Joey was exclusively rushing on the opposite side. Which, I think, he has predominantly been rushing this year.
My question is, what is the rhyme or reason for which side our ends line up? Does Groot prefer the left side? Do the coaches prefer AJE on the right?
after what Bosa was doing to Taylor, I would have maybe considered leaving him on that side but I’m sure that’s not the whole story. -

I’ve heard the Chiefs have the greatest WR corps ever assembled. Yesterday Mahomes threw 19 incompletions, Josh threw 3 incompletions.
You have never heard that.

This past week against the Colts, he was 6th in receiving with 2 receptions, 6 yards, and 4 targets. Which is pretty sad for a supposed #1 WR. Are the Steelers using him as a decoy? Against Green Bay the week previous, he was the #2 WR with 5 receptions for 55 yards, 7 targets, 1 TD.
Are you under the impression that the Colts Steelers game was some kind of shootout?
Josh was basically perfect last night, and yet, when we get stuffed or a penalty on first down and get into 2nd and 10 or 3rd and long, our offense is basically dead in the water. And that comes from not having a threat on the boundary.

Do people even understand that this isn't Madden and the Salary Cap is a real things especially during the season?

You’re saying we can’t squeeze in his $100 million contract? Who knew?!His cap hit for a team trading for him in 2025 would be like $8-9M.

I was really surprised we didnt get a single roughing call the way AJ and Bosa were slamming and driving him into the ground. Loved every second of it.
Remember when the NFL tried to make landing on QBs with your body weight a personal foul after Rodgers broke his collar bone for a few seasons and then just kinda forgot they did that and stopped calling it?

Rice absolutely but Pacheco isn't a game changer. When I make this statement its about game changers, the bills facing the chiefs in the post season have been without Milano, tre, von, Benford, rapp, daquon, and others when it counts. And the chiefs have missed rice, once. Obviously the chiefs have had thier fair share of injuries, but when it comes to post season health the bills are atrocious
Pacheco not being a game-changer but Rapp and Daquon being game-changers is certainly a take.
they have missed plenty of players over the years. They aren’t talked about as much because they win.

Hail Murray
justin jefferson
13 seconds
Tre Edmund’s playing man on Chris Godwin in OT vs the bucs
Bass missed fg in 23
how many times do we need to see this? Can it ever just be a decisive win? Ever?
Listen, I get annoyed too, but recognize you are naming 5 games over the course of like 5 seasons.

I definitely think that is a factor. A proper vet who is talking him through the ball game as opposed to a borderline NFL talent.
My theory is that the PED boys came back and gave Bishop some help.

Shockingly bad pass offense. Thank you Beane. At least you'll always have that radio highlight

I feel like the best outcome for Coleman at this point is a red zone specialist. I don’t think he will ever be a good enough route runner to be an every down WR let alone Allen’s top target. I rewatched a ton of all-22 and Keon’s routes are sloppy & rounded. Reminds me so much of Gabe Davis. Makes you appreciate top tier route runners like Diggs or Beasley. He just doesn’t have the talent. Beane took a shot and whiffed miserably.
I’m gonna give you the saddest comp ever.

Well, the season is not over so I’m holding out hope that our guys would not be as bad by season’s end.
How is average not functional? Because they do have one of the best QB they were still able to be successful. If you think KC was dysfunctional, yet made it to another Super Bowl then the AFC should just give up. They lost 1 game in the regular season. lol.
KC had a great defense those last two years and an average offense.
I think the 15th ranked offense with the best or second best QB in the game is kind of a failure tbh. I think if we had the 15th ranked offense, I would be pretty concerned we would miss the playoffs.
FWIW, we have faced a ton more man this year, especially in our losses. Teams don’t fear us to beat them with Josh’s arm and our pass catchers. That’s a problem.

Play that game? Read the post I responded to before you presume it was my game.
His argument was look at all these second and f*cking 5th round picks Beane has invested at WR.😂
My point is that it costs A LOT of capital to build a good WR room nowadays.
I'm right.
Teams like the Eagles, Vikings and Bengals literally have 2 first rounders each on the boundary.
Those teams don't have a Josh Allen out there for 130 consecutive starts.......but in a Chiefs dominated league they have 3 more SB appearances than the Bills since 2021.
Juju is the 4th WR option on the Chiefs. Palmer is the Bills #1 option on the boundary. What are you smoking thinking that's a favorable comparison?
I will be the first to say that draft position means nothing once you're in the league.........but the investment point stands........if you aren't taking regular BIG swings at WR you probably aren't going to be good at WR. And over the past decade the teams that make the SB's are usually loaded at WR.
It's probably been since Carolina that we've seen a bad WR room reach a SB. And this is a BAD WR room. Do you dispute that?
Can we also add that basically no team has succeeded in building a great WR room with their strategy of FA WRs.
The Jags were famous FA WR over spenders. They handed out ridiculous contracts for Kirk and Zay and other dudes. Fast forward a few years and they are spending back to back first rounders at WR because those guys weren’t good enough.
It is not “the way” as much as Beane wants to bargain bin shop.

2023 they relied on guys like Toney and Moore to step up and become starters. They had a serious case of the dropsies and flamed out
I fail to see how this is much different than us relying on Coleman, Samuel and Moore to step up?
22 minutes ago, 90sBills said:2024 they had the injury issues at wr that, again, curtailed their offense. Yet they still managed to have a functional offense.
15th/16th in points/yards is like bang on average. If that’s “functional” with one of the best QBs in football, I’m not sure what your definition of dysfunctional is.

Yes. The stats were great because they learned how to attack that defense is my point.
Getting an upgrade with the receiving corp would be great. But if Beane can’t get any deals done I have faith in the offense, specifically Allen and Brady, to adjust and improve on how to attack defenses imo.
That’s not what happened with Mahomes FWIW.
after his stellar 2022 with a less than stellar supporting cast, their offense just took a step back relatively speaking. For 2 years in a row. And that was with Andy Reid calling the plays

The media literally said Mahomes was ‘broken’ during that stretch. That the league has figured him out.
I agree somewhat with your view of the 2 high safeties overreaction. In KC’s case I think it did took them a little while to adjust. Especially Mahomes. He had to learn to take what the defense gave him.
That transition led KC to trade away Hill that offseason and picked up JAG’s like MVS and JuJu the following year with the spread the ball around mentally. Sounds familiar? They were the top offense that year and won the Super Bowl.
It worked for them because they adjusted and thrived. Bills’ offense employed the same strategy last year with great success. The receiving corp hasn’t changed that much. I think they will also adjust and thrive. Specifically Allen. I have a feeling he’s going to have a very good game this Sunday. Everyone will relax afterwards.
The media was being silly, like they always are.
You don't have to tell me about what the 2022 Chiefs did and how it was similar to the 2024 Bills.
What you are missing is the 2022 Chiefs had Travis Kelce put up one of the greatest TE seasons in history with 110 catches, 1300 yards and 12 TDs.
And Mahomes was throwing for 300 YPG and had 5500 yards total and 45 TDs.

Stymied as in starting off the first 7 games with a 3-4 record that included blowout losses to our Bills and the Titans. Then they adjusted and went on a run.Yes we need better receivers. I believe Allen will also adjust and be better. Maybe starting this Sunday.
Probably had something to do with their defense allowing 29, 36, 30, 30 and 38 their first 5 games.
they had a bad loss to the Titans. They were still awesome basically the whole year, as evidenced by being awesome statistically all year. The meme of the cover 2 boogeyman has gone too far
