Chaos

Well, you didn't really read what I wrote before. I literally pointed out that no ones children are starving because someone did not get to watch their favorite sportiing event. And you are simply rationalizing, and either don't understand the difference between rationalization and justification, or just don't want to understand the difference.

You are absolutely correct that stealing is stealing and stealing is ethically and morally wrong. In this case, no one's children are starving because they did not get to watch their favorite sporting event. There is no moral ambiguity here. Rationalizers pretend they are justifying things, but they are confused or not honest with themselves.

If McDermott, Babich and and Brady feel uncomfortable and coach like they are uncomfortable until they have the #1 seed locked up, the Bills will be in the Super Bowl this year. If they are comfortable with their roster, their playbooks and playcalling from day 1, they will still win the division, but their chances of being the Super Bowl will be less than 20%. They literally need to get out of their comfort zone to get to the next level.

How to know if it is because talent was "developed" or the talent being better identifed at the start.

Dallas is in a world of hurt. Jalen Hurt. Plus Jayden Daniels and maybe Jaxon Dart. Dallas should next to try and trade Prescott and as much of his salary as another team will take for even a second round pick. This puts them in a position to compete in the Arch Manning sweepstakes and have the draft capital and cap space to build around him instantly.

Andy Reid also “snubbed”

Continuity. The most important factor in winning championships in sports is continuity. 2025 Bills are the epitome of continuity.

why is that not earning it?

Poor Coleman, being groomed to be scapegoat.

Its a matter of priority. every single team will field a 53 man roster every week, trying to fill each position as best they can. Its always "both" in that sense.

Hurts was the MVP.

Someone needs to tell me if the teams strategy is to be able to win games when we give up 31 points or to hold playoff teams to 23 and under. If it’s the first strategy we need another WR. If it’s the second we need immediate help on all three levels of defense.

Democrat leader was not satisfied with simply having a President. He has proclaimed Donald Trump a super hero: Captain Chaos. Democrats are dismayed that people havent given their 60 year process of war on poverty (and a variety of nations from Vietnam to the Ukraine) enough time. "Continuity is what matters most"

Whats the franchise tag on an RB?

key word in this statement to be evaluated is "was"

You have cause and effect completely reversed.

Since Allen is the Best QB in the NFL, the Bills would likely use the franchise tag twice if need be. But if Allen explained that he wanted a coaching change, or being let go to free agency, and the team did not want to make a coaching change, I would Josh become a free agent, he has earned that. And I would be extremely sad. ☹️

Is the DL really the biggest problem on defense. Benford is the only player on defense who could possibly Garner a first round or second round pick. Linebackers are either frequently injured or not very good. Tauron Johnson is a solid enough nickle back, but zero offenses are actually worried about him. personally I feel like the best defensive players available as free agents should be our targets. Sam for the draft. offense will be fine.

Between Coleman and McConkey and Worthy it is clear we should have taken Cooper Dejean

The Bills were flawed this year. So was every other AFC team. Eagle sort of showed how flawed the Chiefs were. No one expected the Jets Dolphins and Patriots to form the worst divisional opponents in the NFL. No expected the Bengals to flame out. The Bills did well to put themselves in position to go to the Super Bowl. And they choked the opportunity. Both of those things are true. The second is big disappointment for people. And its not the first time in recent memory it happened.

The people who post on this board probably represent the 1% of most passionate Bills fans. The other 99 percent of fans have real lifes. They stop thinking about hte Bills when the season is over. We are not a representative of the full fan base. Not even remotely. I enjoy conjecture on what could have been and what might be, more than most, but as long as the Bills win the NFL's crappiest division and occassionally McDermott gets to play as the Washington Generals to Andy Reid's Harlem Globetrotters, the Bills will be considered successful.

The following all seem to be true Tre White was awesome The 2021 defense was better than the 2024 defense Not have Tre White is one reason why the 2021 defense was better than then 2024 defense. Calling White's injury "the beginning" seems to conjur the concept that getting worse was inevitible. Three years is a long time in the NFL. Entire teams have been rebuilt from non-playoff teams to championship contenders in that time frame. Here are the 2021 Starters If you look at the front 6 or 7, it seems their 2021 performance was not much different than the 2024 performance. The difference was in the back 4 Hyde, Poyer and White were perfect fits for the scheme the Bills wanted to run. Might have been genius. Might have been luck. In 2021 this scheme was somewhat novel. In 2024, its fairly common and has been studied the committment to the scheme seems fairly absolute the idea that Rapp, Hamlin, Benford are going to provide anything close to White/Hyde/Poyer seems to border on the preposterous. I think the biggest problem is the lack of adaptability. An absolute committment to the scheme, requires a Don Quixote like search for some very specific talent set. Elam did not fit the talent set, (he also may simply not be talented). This was an unforced error by the Bills. I am not a football coach and not a GM. I don't have the exact answers. But it seems to me the Bills should consider some of the following: Evaluate what talents/traits are most commonly available in the draft and free agency. Develop schemes (plural on purpose) that have a deeper pool of players to pull from to fit the schemes Retool the balance between "finding players for the scheme" to "fitting the scheme to the players". Right now it seems to be 99%/1% on finding players for the scheme. This does not seem sustainable.

If he keeps going to the NFC championship game I expect he will stay.

Want to avoid these guys that play their best games in the playoffs.

Coleman was targeted more than me. I didn’t have a single drop this season.
