If Lamar plays and looks okay Sunday, I’m gonna have some side eye tbh. As someone who kinda vehemently disagrees in the quitter narrative that @DrDawkinstein is pushing, it’s honestly a bad look to me if he plays lol

Ah yes, those successful picks Boogie and Big Cody who were traded for peanuts before their rookie deal was even finished.

To the OP, I think his seat is hot in the way that McD make take over playcalling. not sure he’s in danger of being fired. McD was taking over play calling from Leslie Frazier when the defense was playing much better.

The counter take is that the “stars and filler” means you can lose a lot of filler before it matters. Is the Bills defense better off with Tre and Hairston healthy and Benford hurt or Benford healthy and both Tre and Hairston hurt?

Bizarre take. Just totally out of left field. We had like 20 years of lifeless football to watch. I don’t think anyone who lived through that doesn’t realize how much better it is now. To relate all of that to the Tyreek Hill injury is just absurd though

They have to make sure he doesn’t have compromised blood flow. when a knee goes that way, you are at risk for actual terrible problems outside of football injury stuff

@Big Turk Justin fields has 5 yards passing vs the Dolphins. Maybe he’s just a horrific QB

It’s very funny to me that the prevailing theory is that if the Eagles called us up and offered us Brown and Smith for Coleman and Palmer, we would say yes but run the exact same offense and give them 4 targets each per game.

Yeah, my guess is the Bills don’t remain next to worst in the league in rushing defense for the whole season the further we get out from that Derrick Henry game, just like they don’t remain first in passing defense the whole season the further we get out of the QB murderer’s row of Tua, Rattler and Fields.

They used to say this about the Eagles too and the Eagles just built an extremely talented roster. I’m betting that following consensus picks in rounds 1-3 works as long term strategy at least as well as following your own scouts tbh.

What matters is points he says. The Bills are 22nd points allowed per drive. Literally bottom 10 lol. after spending a whole offseason investing in defense, because they were below average at 18th last year. I have perspective for days for you my friend.

The Bills are 12th in yards per drive and 22nd in points per drive on defense. They are 31st in rushing yards allowed. They aren’t good and are definitely one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL, and the worst rushing defense Buffalo has had since 2017. Cool talk about lacking perspective lol

To be fair, we pick late in rounds and it’s harder to find instant contributors.

That’s not what I asked.

The Steelers did play Justin Fields too. Do you think the Bills have the best pass defense in the league (as their ranking suggests) or do you think they have been ungodly bad against the run (the second worst in the league) and also played some crappy passers that inflated their passer yard ranking? I know what I’m picking lmao.

We played Justin Fields, Tua and Spencer Rattler….

Folz around January 30th ”who could believe that the Bills would fall to 0-5 vs the Chiefs in the postseason and the defense would get shredded again, maybe a few more 90% defensive offseasons with McD’s right hand man picking all the players he wants will change it!”

And like keeps being said when we were 0-2 against KC and 0-3 against KC and 0-4 against KC, KC isn’t going anywhere. We are missing 2 starters. Oliver and Milano. Hairston didn’t beat out Tre for the starting CB spot. the suspended players aren’t going to be full time starters. Unless we somehow start 6 DL players, this take makes no sense.

At least we keep trying to find that EDGE X factor instead of tethering ourselves to an average player at that spot whose greatest ability is setting the edge for $80M…..

What is the worst that could happen? Still have far and away the best HC/QB combo in the division and win 11+ games and not win a Super Bowl? Feels like that’s where we are now

I’d legitimately give Belichick a call still. If there’s a guy I’d trust to get our JAGfest backend to do something to slow down the Chiefs, it’d be him.

Lamar is still a great QB and these kind of posts have the unintentional consequence of making the poster look silly.

Piling up yards down 20 would be protecting his stats lol

We are lucky every year. It’s only discounted if we don’t like the result. We are lucky we drafted a borderline AP in the sixth round at CB. We are lucky that our biggest rival’s offense has fallen off a cliff for 3 seasons and counting, and they can’t find a competent OT to save their lives We are lucky that our other biggest rival in the AFC has a QB that loses his ability to play like the best QB on the planet in the biggest stage inexplicably. All of this definitive luck will be discounted if we fail to reach our ultimate goal, and it will be said that we didn’t get the luck we needed. But the fact of the matter is that the luck is there.

Oh really? I felt like somehow avoiding the team who singlehandedly has ended our season 4/5 years greatly increased our Super Bowl odds.
