He’s athletic and has a great arm, sure. But his processing and decision making is horrendous tonight. He has no clue where to go with the football. By the end of season 1, the light begins to turn on for rookie QB‘S. Tonight was just brutal. Compare this his performance to Drake Maye last week who had less talent around him and a decent (at best) OC in AVP. No saying that Williams can’t be fixed but he seems to be a broken QB, and it’s going to take a great offensive mind to get him back on track. He is a putrid QB right now

IIRC Caleb Williams made his preseason debut against the Bills. The takes after that game from NFLN and ESPN were all about how “special” Williams was as a QB. It just shows preseason means absolutely nothing. Williams looks lost when it comes to reading defenses and knowing where to go with the ball under pressure

This is the first I’ve done this. Who gives a ***** what uniform the Bills are wearing?

Yeah that would be cool but some fans seems overly superstitious about it. Doesn’t make a different to me

Maybe they can get this guy as the officiant: Marv is up to $500 per video. Love Marv but….man, that’s a lot for a one-minute video

Does anyone really care about uniform combos. Seems there’s a group of fans that are obsessed with what the team’s wearing

No not really. Coleman isn’t that type of player

The thing is, Worthy could have far less production and some Bills fans would be saying the exact same thing as the OP. I’ll say this - Worthy has been a better version of players like Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney who Reid always did a great job of using. As far as Keon, he’s played exactly as many had anticipated: Solid Hands Good with Contested Catches Beats zone defenses in intermediate areas Big play potential/YAC Struggles w/ separation Not a natural route runner His biggest knock (speed) hasn’t really been that big of a problem. Despite the slow 40 time, he’s found ways to get open deep as evidence by his 20+ YPC. Again, not sure what the OP was expecting but I think Keon’s flashed enough to be open to the possibly that he could improve to be a solid WR2 It was a very bad penalty. Announcers said it was something about him lifting up shirt to show his stomach. I didn’t get it - just seemed like a routine celebration to me.

No he wrote that he hasn’t been impressed with Coleman verbatim. It was somewhat of a bold take and the OP is rightfully getting the flack he deserves.

I’d move a few more players to good and a few below average to average. Overall though, this is the biggest area where you can criticize Beane and McDermott. They have a nice assortment of “good” players but not enough “great” and hardly any “elite.” Defensive line especially. I think the defense as a whole is better than than they’ve played the past few weeks, but yeah they aren’t going to win low scoring games

I wouldn’t put that much stock into PFF grades. It’s not like he’s been a train wreck and he was a key reason why the Bills held Travis Kelce to one of the worst games of his career. An area where I have seen him struggle is getting off blocks in run defense. I don’t remember this being as big of an issue last season so I don’t know - other than the deft that at times the interior has been really bad this season. The other thing that’s missing is the “splash” plays. We saw a few like the game ending INT versus KC but they’ve been few and far between. I think Bernard will be fine in the playoffs. Not worth worrying about I feel their pain

Makes sense. If you throw this season out (and yeah that’s a huge “if”) his track record against big time QB’s has been pretty solid.

Hence, why I said “no connection to McDermott.” Gotta admit, it’s a good idea on paper

As long as he plays at a high level, I could care less what his hair looks like

I can see this happening in Week 18, but not on Sunday regardless of the standings

There were so many positive reviews of Ladd pre-draft. I think what hurt him is that he’s mostly a slot player and Buffalo likely envisioned Shakir in that spot long term.

This is all but certain. There’s no connection to McDermott but I wouldn’t mind seeing Lou added to the coaching staff on defense. not sure what happened this season but he’s always been very good at defending big time QB’s - notably Mr. Mahomes That’s correct… perfect record otherwise as sickening as it is.

All depends if KC rests their starters in Week 18. Pretty sure they will

LOL it was 3 TD. I’m sure how that happened… long day man 🤣

Um….It was extremely obvious that I was only including receiving stats. To that extent, those numbers were 15 games. After today he has 59 catches for 638 yards and 6 TDs Still not that far off from Coleman, given the time he’s missed and the stage of his development Coleman’s receiving production is relatively the same as Worthy. He’s not the type of receiver that runs reverses for TD’s

…and?

Mikster your Jedi mind tricks are about as effective as the Houston Texans defense against a team above .500. Show me where I said “Beane sux.” If that means that Baltimore has more high-end I’d agree. If there’s an area I’d criticize Beane and McDermott it’s for finding a lot of good talent but not enough great talent. That Top-3, 1st team All Pro Player….you know like a Kyle Hamilton?

Most playoff games are close. Not sure how Indy has any relevance in this argument, considering that Buffalo’s defense was the reason why they won the following week against Baltimore. Surely you’ll find some reason to discredit that win, I’m sure? Kansas City has beaten Buffalo in the playoffs. They’ve beaten almost EVERY team in the AFC playoffs with the exception of Cincinnati

Of course they don’t - that’s because all of those players are on the defensive line. So if you’re definition of a “game wrecker” is a defensive lineman. Then yeah, they don’t have a “game wrecker.” Regardless a player like Hamilton allows Baltimore to do a lot of things that other defenses can’t. I’d agree with you that the weak part of the defense has been the DL. I don’t feel it’s a result of scheme or coaching, as much as it is players getting their butts kicked. Apparently Same!

I’m calling BS again. There’s many people view Kyle Hamilton as the best safety in the league and I’m sure they’d put him on the game wrecker status. As far at the Bills players you mentioned - how many of them have ever been named to an All-Pro team? 1 - Taron Johnson 2nd team 2022 Now do the same thing for the Ravens. Again your assertion that it’s all “scheme” is incorrect. Not saying it’s a guarantee. I just don’t think it’s as impossible as the two of you make it sound. Baltimore’s a very good defense
