Poor Coleman, being groomed to be scapegoat.

I guess the generic answer is “both.” Why do they only address one or the other? I fully expect 4 to 5 new starters on the team in 2025. A boundary WR, a DE, a DT, a CB and a S (which may be Bishop).
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"

The team with the very best winning percentage - the Steelers - have only had 3 coaches during that time.
Meanwhile, the Bills had 16.
Continuity matters.
You have cause and effect completely reversed.

Forgive the offseason post, but this thought crossed my mind last night, so flame appropriately.
It's hard for me to argue that Josh has been let down by the defense in key games, especially the playoffs. You could also say that the Bills were outcoached in most of their playoff losses. Add in being in the same conference as the Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, and other improving AFC teams, it's not going to get any easier soon.
With being from the west coast and being engaged to a movie star, is it crazy to think it might make more sense for him to want to play out his contract and join a team like the Rams? He would immediately become the NFL king of LA, have an offensive minded coach, and be closer to home. I think his chances to get a ring would greatly improve, and he'd get to play in a dome where he excels.
To be clear, I don't want any of this to happen. But if it did, I don't think I could really blame him. Yes, the Bills took a chance on him, but he was still a top 10 pick and has paid the team and city back well beyond that. I would hate it, but I would still support him.
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

I believe calling it “a stretch” is putting it very politely.
There are some seriously miserable people around here.
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.

I’m sure that he has had the most talented team in the NFL over the average of the last 3 seasons.
I’m sure that the midseason collapse of the 2023 Eagles is largely a referendum on coaching malfeasance. As evidenced by Sirianni being the only coach in football to not pick his OC and DC.
I’m sure that calling a naked Jalen Hurts bootleg while he was injured with 2 min left against the Rams in the postseason up 6 would have cost him his job had they lost that game and Stafford not luckily thrown a ball out of bounds on 4th down.
I’m sure that Sirianni was 100% on the hotseat entering 2024, despite making the playoffs 3 straight years, the NFCCG once and the Super Bowl once.
You are welcome to take your pick of all of those reasons. You are also welcome to predict he will be their head coach 3 seasons from now. I mean, he has all this track record of success right? He should be safe for a couple years right? There’s no way the wheel fall off and there’s a new HC in Philly in 2027, right?
If he keeps going to the NFC championship game I expect he will stay.

Josh Sweat earned a huge payday yesterday, not sure the Bills should be that team. At the end of the day his production is not much different than Rousseau. Just saying you have to consider the body of work vs one game. We have seen SB standouts get overpaid in the past I bet that happens with him.
Want to avoid these guys that play their best games in the playoffs.

Objectively Worthy was targeted more which lead him to out produce Coleman.
Coleman was targeted more than me. I didn’t have a single drop this season.

Good cummulative stats makes it appear he had a good season; Rodgers was #7 in yards (Allen was #14) and #7 in TDs (tie with Allen) but dig a little deeper and you realize it was simply because he threw the ball so much. The fact that he was #30 in yards per attempt (Allen was #9) shows he had a mediocre season at best.
Another way to tell was watching a the Jets game. Rodgers was awful.

Sirianni is not a good head coach.
He has won a SB. Very good for him. what are the odds he is the Eagles coach 3 years from now?In four seasons he has made the playoffs four times. The NFC championship twice and the Super Bowl once. Are you sure he is bad because this is not a good track record, more should be expected. Or not good per some “eye test”. OR something else?
-
Andy Reid is generally viewed as tops, in large part to being 2-1 in the last three super bowls. Siriani went to two of those three and is 1-1. Where do you place him in the pantheon of current NFL head coaches?

Many people seem to miss the point. No one is arguing that Worthy was good yesterday. A number of people are pointing out Worthy is one reason the Chiefs played yesterday and the Bills did not. This point is not arguable. It is factual.

Worthy didn't really do much of anything until garbage time. Despite having massive opportunity all season he really wasn't particularly impressive.
I'm not saying Coleman was or will be significantly better. I'm just saying it remains to be seen ultimately who is the greater impact player on their respective team.
So far its not arguable. Worthy stepped up to help the Chiefs advance further than the Bills. Coleman did not. The future may change this. But the past is settled.

Yet 90% of this board would’ve died if we didn’t take a WR- because the only way to beat KC is to outscore them a because KC is going to score on everyone when it matters. Right? Wrong.
We needed more balance. we were all offense and no defense in a season in which we were supposed to have no offense…..because “it’s a passing league” and we don’t have WRs…..but we have an OL and dam good RBs and the best QB. But that didn’t matter because we could stop a team that didn’t score 31 all season and allowed them to score more than they had all season
I think we can agree, that none of the last three first picks, Elam, Kincaid and Coleman have not been huge contributers on the field. The pick prior to them, Gregory Rousseau had a decent year this year, but did not matter much for a couple of seasons. On the Eagles, Cooper Dejean and Quinyon Mitchell making meaningful contributions.
Looking at the Bills, it just seems like one of two things must be true. A- The Bills coaches don't have a plan to incorporate the players into an important part of the team as rookies or B-They were not very good picks. Or a combination of both.
I think the truth leans more towards A than B. I think this is potentially a meaningful handicap when comparing the top two teams each season to the top 8 teams each season.-

To be fair the Bills offense blew away the Chiefs offense in the 2024-25 season.
The problem, from my perspective, is that the Bills don't draft guys they even expect to make immediate impacts. Kindcaid and Coleman still need "development time". Whereas the Chiefs seemed to think they could put the fastest guy in combine history on the field and make an impact his rookie season.
Frankyly with the benefit of hindsight the Bills did not need Coleman or Worthy, it needed Cooper DeJean.-
