Agreed, the biggest factor has been our D in the playoff's. By this I mean it has been missing in action every playoff run year after year. This phantom missing "D" has cost us, and all from a defensive minded head coach in charge of this team. Ughh..... How much more of a leash do you give McD anyway. If he can't put it all together and get us there, then he needs to go.

Run Antonio Run !!!!! On his way to the Border......

To be honest Coleman is not the answer. He will do a little better this year but nothing mind blowing. It all comes down to our D Line again. You have to be able to get the opposing QB on the run and sack him. The Eagles did this to KC. We did not. Our team has failed every year in the playoffs because of this lack of D pressure. No QB pressure when it counts in the playoffs equals losses every time. That is why our receivers are so important. If we cant get the opposing team off the field in a single series of downs. We need wide receivers that can make the clutch catches and make YAC yards. Right now Shakir is the only guy that does this. Coleman has no speed and we signed two more receivers to try and come in and make a difference. Elijah Moore & Joshua Palmer. It goes to show that the faith they have Coleman is not what everyone thinks it is. I hated us signing Coleman but that ship has sailed so long ago. All we can do is hope he puts on his superman cape and pulls some sort of miraculous 2nd season performance out of his butt this year, with this team. We just need to find 3 receivers that when we put them on the field together they wreak havoc on the other team's D and DB's. We have not had that in the JA era.

Yes and no, he is important to the team but is he worth 15 Million, no way.. He is no Sequon Barkley or Jahmyr Gibbs by any means. Barkley is a better running back by every metric. Jahmyr Gibbs is a much more explosive back and runner than James. James I believe is a better run after the catch type of guy but he does not have the power of the other two backs I mentioned. But it comes down how he is used in our offence in which he excels. Honestly I think he can be replaced as well, with any top RB coming out of college today, they are all a dime a dozen, and they all have unreal speed and they all can catch the ball. Is 15 million to much yes, 8 to 10 million maybe. This is my opinion and everyone will have a different take on Cook and how he benefits this team as a player. But he is replaceable.

Tre White Veteran cornerback struggles White gave up a pair of touchdowns on the day - the first to Moore and then another to veteran receiver Curtis Samuel. White matched up with most of the Bills speedsters and had a few reps that didn’t go his way. The veteran was brought in to compete for the starting job opposite Christian Benford. It’s just one practice and not worth overreacting to, but there are legitimate concerns about White’s ability to cover fast receivers at this stage of his career. When he did get beat in limited time with the Los Angeles Rams last season, it was usually down the field and while working against a faster player. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2025/05/buffalo-bills-otas-week-1-observations-new-wr-shines-2-rookies-flash.html I still am having a hard time trying to understand why they brought him back at all. He played terrible in LA and with the Ravens.....After his injury recovery. Its only OTA's and he can't keep up with our WR speed....

This guy is constantly a walking injury report.

Because I don't trust Joey Bosa to be answer to our D-Line problems, we still will have Oliver, Epenesa, Groot, all whom did not get any pressure on Lamar. Last years playoff game Lamar had huge INT's & mistakes and some critically timed dropped footballs by his receivers. Same thing happened in the regular season game against them when they squashed us and Henry had 199 yards running all over us on the ground against this D line. Do you really believe just wash, rinse and repeating the cycle this year is going to be the answer for our D-Line pressure problems? We need new blood and personnel combinations on this D-line this year so hopefully our draft picks and new free agents can make a difference this year.

Be careful for what you wish for. The Ravens had one of the better drafts this year to add to their D side of the ball as well. They will be a better team opening day at home then what we played in the playoffs last year. This game at home will not be a gimmee at all. I just hope we did enough on D this year... We are going to need a huge elevation of "D" CB play on this side of the ball this year. We can only wait and see through mini camp and preseason. I think the suspensions of DE Hoecht and DT Ogunjobi could cost us in this game, but this game will be a slug fest for sure.

Yes the 1982 to 1987's was a brutal time for this team to be a fan.... Until the it started to turn it around for them in 1988... Coaching changes, player changes a whole lot of everything going on during these years. This was one major rollercoaster ride being a fan during this time.

The old adage is you can not substitute speed... speed is not replaceable or compensated for. Keon = No Speed and has little else to offer. We all knew it when he was drafted. Now it comes down to this, does he have anything positive to offer this team at WR that can make him a relevant asset. I did not see it in his college highlight clips and I don't see it at the NFL level at all. He is basically a bust right now and has to earn his way back onto this team as a starter. Lets be honest he has a major uphill battle to make this team this year, even getting into the top 5 WR's on this team for him this year will be an accomplishment. 2025 WR room. Wide Receiver (X) (4) Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, Kaden Prather, Hal Presley Wide Receiver (Z) (5) Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Laviska Shenault, Jalen Virgil, Stephen Gosnell Wide Receiver (Slot) (4) Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, K.J. Hamler, Kelly Akharaiyi I still think we need a proven talent to be bought in this year, I just don't know who will become available until after the cuts happen after this years training camps are done.

Our team needs to get better you don't do this by signing a Vet that was released from the team due to major injuries and has been on the decline since he was let go.. Unreal what they are smoking in their pipes at One Bills Drive. Yeah bad move by Buffalo and for wasting money on an non impactful player. The guy is washed... He played like dog 💩even before he got hurt for us and we let him go, he can't tackle worth a damn and when the wind blows to hard and knocks him off his feet, we get blown coverage play after play when he failed to he show up in games prior to his first injury. Yet we sign him again when we could have put that money to better use on the D side of the ball. It is amazing how many player we sign year after year that are over paid and they don't perform up to what salary they get paid. Oh well like you said not my money........

Actually is was our money, we pay the for tickets, and now increased prices, we pay for the merchandise and we pay for other NFL subscriptions that all end up back into the Bills bank account.

You know when to get rid off stuff that has gone rotten, and after you throw out that trash, it is taken to the dump. Leave the trash where it is. The smell has gotten better at One Bills Drive since this rotten trash is now gone too.

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?. I don't use performance enhancing drugs.....Lol
