Some might be waiting out the preseason since they’re aging vets…a desperate team that takes a key injury early will probably give any of them a modest deal

Would’ve had to trade up a couple spots…wonder if we would’ve taken him at 26 if he was available. If Josh Palmer ends up working out I think tj Parker and a pick upgrade looks wiser than giving up value to move up and grab Concepcion. Time will tell for sure 😂 supposedly Palmer is having a good camp but we all know how that goes haha

Bills really bought low on Danna…would be great if they could get anything out of him production wise. Not sure what his deal was last year but he had a pretty rough 2025

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse but what were people posting? Like personal insults about mcd? I certainly can’t recall every post from a year ago but I thought the gist on this board at least was he’s a good guy but his defensive scheme/playcalling isn’t stopping the better qbs in the league when it matters and fundamentals like the tackling were lacking lately. im sure instagram and twitter and such were a cesspool though as they always are 😂 im not surprised people are feeling good that Leonard preached tackling and the team tackled well today. The mcd scheme relied so heavily on rallying to the football and it really just wasn’t happening mcd kind of went out similar to how Diggs went out imo…I defended mcd a long time but I can’t get that 3rd and 11 rush 4 completion to a wide open sutton on that late broncos go ahead td out of my head lol. That kind of stuff just happened way too often. With Diggs it was that dropped deep ball. You just kinda felt like it was over watching those two plays. I’m sure a lot of people hit their breaking point on that play haha

I think most teams are in the ‘if our starting qb goes down our season is over anyway why shell out the money for a decent backup’ train of thought these days. Probably makes a little more sense for the bills to think that way because the running game is good up against the cap and havin parity beat you up for years it’s pretty hard to justify a good backup qb

It’s pretty funny but bills related engagement bait is getting pretty old online haha even non bills fans are complaining about the endless anti Josh Allen posts 😂. I’d expect the new stadium talk to go the same way eventually especially when good pics from the stadium start getting shared bills are pretty easy ragebait subjects because we have a lot of very ‘enthusiastic’ posters on social media lol anything negative about the bills pulls huge numbers I’ve been waiting for some pics from the stands from the game today

Nope

The bills seem to be the target of a lot of clickbait these days since we’ve got a very social media active fanbase lol both the nfl Reddit and that lunatic mods nfl Reddit offshoot is pretty much nonstop josh Allen ragebait 😂 I feel like this report was ‘maybe there could hypothetically be an issue because Brady is younger than mcd’ but I don’t think Josh and mcd really even interacted a whole lot

I’m sure there’s things that will be too expensive that I’ll complain about when I go but trying to x out of all the ad pop ups on wgr to read an article about how the team is ruining their product for financial gain feels a little ironic 😂

I trust Leonard to at least bring the house if he knows his defense can’t get stops anyway. Not sure why mcd never really stuck to that The playoff points allowed in the divisional/conference round stat is absolutely hilarious. Even factoring in that 3 point windy ravens game it’s like 28 ppg allowed. Jumps up to like 32 if you treat that as an outlier

That’s kind of apples and oranges on the DJ Moore point…the ravens offense was absolutely stacked and the qb/derrick Henry running game opened everything up for guys like zay flowers. Dj Moore was in a much worse situation and if he’s got similar per game averages to zay flowers I think that is a point against zay tbh

Man the wr market was CRAZY this offseason lol

I agree with you…seemed like Ben knew he was leaving one way or the other and kinda phased him out then dj knew Ben knew he was leaving which led to a weird scenario 😂

I defended mcd probably longer than I should’ve lol but he really did create kind of a logjam on the coaching staff. No idea what he saw in babich yet he kept him around. promoting Brady might seem kinda silly to some looking at just HC but it allowed them to get another HC-ish level guy in Jim Leonard and bring in a veteran offensive mind for Brady to bounce ideas off of in Pete Carmichael while maintaining some semblance of continuity on one side of the ball

I feel like there’s only so much you can do with shaky oline/decent WRs/bad running game. The anonymous scouts always make it sound like it’s so easy to just string long drives together with all those deficiencies but chasing the big play might be your only hope of scoring points a lot of the time I’ve used the same to defend Josh at various points in his career so it seems like it’s only fair to give mahomes the same luxury as much as i don’t want to 😂

I think we were all nervous they would retain everyone but dumping mcd and promoting Brady let them bring in some fresh defensive minds and a veteran offensive coach for Brady to bounce ideas off of. Feels like a great move now to me

I think everything kinda fell the pats way last year and they’re gonna regress a pretty good amount tbh. Feels like they’re underselling that to nitpick the bills. pats fans don’t want to see it so they’re only looking at half the equation to question why the bills are favored in most places pats had a generational run of good luck last year…bengals with no burrow and Chase suspended,Lamar goin out at halftime,historically easy schedule because they were very bad the year before, chargers beat to hell in the playoffs, dolphins straight up tanking, Bo nix breaking his ankle the week before the afc championship and so on. It was honestly wild haha you hear a lot of ‘the schedules were only 3 games different’ but it was really closer to 5 games different regular season then they got a huge gift in the afc championship (caused by the bills ironically enough 😂)

Yea that’s fair…should’ve worded it a little differently. I think they signed/drafted a few guys hoping someone could step up into a bigger role at a discount and nobody really did

I think the DC/defensive philosophy shift is a bigger change than any roster building could’ve been. To me you’ve got a qb you know is gonna score points in the playoffs so why not pair that with a defense that brings interesting disguised blitzes and can force a huge turnover when needed at the risk of giving up points that the mcd defense would’ve given up anyway 😂 also promoting Brady gave him the opportunity to bring in a veteran offensive mind to bounce ideas off of. I really think the coaching staff improved a lot and could’ve gotten a similar roster in the past over the top but I guess we’ll see haha

Someone out there had a good article about how bad maye was against cover 6..I don’t think he saw it much until that second half of the bills rematch and then teams started throwing that at him pretty often and they were wildly successful when doing so. If that’s a real weakness and the pats stay in team to beat status they will continue to see more and more of that until he figures it out. Feels like most DCs are a little too stubborn on a regular season game to game basis though and dont mix it up enough. They ran into the team in the Super Bowl that typically runs it the most and saw a lot of it in each playoff game

I’m sure it’s been said but he needed that second superbowl imo and I think he’ll just miss…idk how to justify Russ getting in and Eli maybe not (although maybe they both do)

Palmer could be a good wr3…I think the bills bet on him being able to make the jump to a decent wr1 and that didn’t work out though.. it’ll be interesting to see what happens

Those three different opponents were about as different as they could be though to be fair lol the three teams the pats got were absolutely dreadful and the bills got some perennially great teams. Three games against three good teams instead of three horrendous teams has a huge impact on a division race. I don’t believe bills were second easiest either granted some of that is cuz they got the pats twice..i gotta doublecheck though i had it all in a spreadsheet somewhere 😂. I think if the pats didn’t exist last year people woulda been all over the broncos schedule instead which also ended up being one of the easiest a team has had in the last 5 years or so. The bills were like 6th or 7th easiest last season going from memory. Bears and chargers were two other playoff teams with easier schedules than Buffalo on top of Denver and NE…can’t remember who the other team was

It’ll be interesting to see if teams continue to throw more cover 6 at him. He was one of the worst qbs in the league against cover 6 some teams seem to not sway from what they like to do on defense no matter what but it feels like any team that threw a heavy dose of cover 6 at him down the stretch was crazy successful with it.

I can’t see mcd ever being back in any capacity. Whether by just bad personnel evaluation or what the guy just didn’t really attract any defensive coaching talent and it was always a huge liability when it mattered most
