If we fired the coaches this offseason, take our lumps next year and eat salary cap, we could be back in action for the 2027 season, Josh's age 31 season. We could be one of the youngest teams in the league again. Imagine Hairston, Bishop, Hancock and Walker as our defensive vets. Josh, Kincaid, Hawes, Shakir and Cook are the offensive vets. Other than these 9 players, our 53 is young and cost-controlled. Imagine a coach who is a great offensive playcaller and hires a great defensive coordinator... and both guys adjust at halftime! Imagine a young, hungry DL with a big 1 tech and dominant ends. Imagine JA with a stock of receivers drafted in 2026 and 2027, plus a bruising running back to complement Cook. Imagine a 50 TD season from Josh and a 15-2 record, a 1 seed, two home playoff games at the new pile. Imagine... It's fun to dream...

Theoretically Josh should outlast Cam and Russ but it concerns me that he doesn't seem to be reading or seeing the field well this year. That skill should be improving, and it's going to have to to offset his decreasing mobility once he hits 30. Or perhaps he's seeing the field well but there's no body open?

@Wizard it's great to have your thoughts... we get used to the declining level of play like frogs in a slowly heating pot... But yeah combined to the Bills of 2020-2023, we look a lot different. Defense playing small and much slower. Josh's confidence has been affected. Remember in 2020 when he had NEVER had a turnover in the red zone? Offensive playcalling is very predictable which means we tend to lose when the other team's defense is any good. I can't remember the last time we lined up in a formation and DIDN'T run the play we always run out of that formation. We do have 7 wins because we have Allen, Cook, and an O line that can look dominant. Happy Thanksgiving and let's hope the Bills can make some adjustments!

This makes me feel better, that Jim Kelly is seeing this and is frustrated just like us! Please get us a real playcaller!

Not sure that was Shavers' fault as much as the Texans D and the fact he didn't see the field much.

He was catching passes for Josh in the second half when Josh hit his arm and was throwing on the sidelines.

Did he have a target tonight? He wasn't even on the field as much as last week, which didn't make sense to me.

Run it with Josh

Love it. Here in Germany it means 7pm, which means my kids can watch with me, which they love to do.

Whoa. Living up to your handle!

You my friend are a criminal mastermind. This is gold.

This is a game where we could really use a great offensive script, keep them off-balance and score twice quickly. If we are up two scores I don't think Davis Mills is gonna come back on us.

Okay I have trouble understanding this lol But give me a playbook and three weeks of camp and I'm on it coach!

Luckily thanks to many years reading this board I understand this stuff perfectly Tbh I’m less confused by it than I used to be but it’s the speed that they process this stuff that leaves me in the dust.
