I’m not sure who was to blame. Was it Tre of the safety who was supposed to pick him up? Either way he was wide freaking open.

He’s not the same player he was in the past and his name is probably bigger than his ability at this point. Maybe they can get him for a 7th It won’t be Landon Jackson. He stinks

It’s pretty clear that there are issues getting WR’s open downfield. With the exception of a nice catch by Moore, almost all of the downfield passing was from Kincaid and one catch for 30 by Knox. They need to add one other piece to go along with Palmer. Shaheed would be a nice addition

When the Bills get Josh a wide receiver who can actually get open downfield, they are going to be in good shape

This was a game changing matchup for Buffalo. They had a CB who could run stride for stride with Worthy without needing to put his hands on him. He showed up big for Buffalo

Endberg was never a great announcer but he’s one of those voices you grew up listening to. Probably one of my favorite announcers. Also a broadcasting pro - he did every sport

This makes a lot of sense. We can already see how Bishop is starting to improve a bit from getting regular snaps.

Yeah Campbell would be perfect. But I believe he chose to sign AZ because he wanted to finish his career where he started. Maybe he has a home there? IDK I guess you have to wonder if playing meaningful games would be better than playing meaningless games in his preferred location.

Miami would be like “uh you can keep Landon”

LOL dramatic much? Fortunately this one didn’t matter

To me it looked like a miscommunication. Tre passed of Rice to no one and he was wide open. Just a communication failure in a critical moment. It sucked but thankfully we don’t have to hear about “4th and 17” because the Bills got the W

This is NFL. Players are going to injured. Probably a few for an extended amount of time. It’s a long season and a war of attrition. That’s why you can’t ride the roller coaster

I can guarantee the idea has crossed his mind and if things don’t get better, it’s something that might happen. McDermott prefers to be the “CEO” of the team, as most coaches do. Taking control from Babich is akin to benching your rookie/young QB. Once you’ve de-committed it’s usually the beginning of the end. i definitely think McDermott believes in Babich and doesn’t him to fail. Babich has been groomed for this role early in his career so he’s kind of like McDermott’s protege, just as McDermott was Jim Johnson’s protege in Philly. The two have been together for almost a decade and he has a relationship with Babich Sr. I think he also knows he’s been hurt by injury/suspension.

There’s one current roster spot. It will be interesting if they activate Hairston at the end of next week.

brother Bill is annoying…but I hated those glasses the first time I saw them.

Not every draft pick that you make is going to be a starter - especially when you get to the Day 3 picks. If those guys are productive depth players you can argue it’s a decent pick. But the trends that you identified here are valid. Beane’s just not getting enough return on his “premium” draft picks. It goes back to his failure at struggling to add high end talent to surround Josh

If you’re looking at Weeks 1-4, I’d agree. Although there were times the offense was stagnant for stretches, in the end they put up 30+ with few turnovers But last Sunday the offense was a big reason why the lost. We’ll see what happened next Monday

Not passing the eye test? I don’t know, you could say that about just about every team this season. To your point, I think the problem isn’t that they don’t have a true WR1 - it’s that the overall talent at WR isn’t higher. Shakir is a nice slot WR - I’d say he’s toward of the middle of the league. But the rest - Coleman, Samuel, and Palmer are likely WR3’s and WR4’s on most teams. The other problem is that there’s not a lot of versatility and too much redundancy in skill sets. Shakir is easily their best slot WR but he doesn’t play outside much. Samuel and Moore are almost identical in their skill sets. Keon is the 50/50 guy and could be utilized better in the slot, but because of the duplicate skill sets he always plays outside where he fails to separate and get down the field. the you have Palmer who also plays exclusively on the outside. He can separate but isn’t the burner that stretches the field. All in all I don’t have a problem with the mentality. In fact, I think a lot of Josh’s INTs in the past came from balls forced to Gabe Davis and Diggs. I like the idea of unselfish play at WR but I think they failed to raise the talent level

They don’t need to double cover him. Diggs doesn’t have any explosiveness anymore and mainly runs short routes. The Tight Ends will be more dangerous that Diggs

I don’t think either have looked great this season. From what I can recall however, it seems like most of their rushing attempts were in obvious running situations and there was a whole lot of daylight. I remember earlier in the season Ty Johnson dropped a sure TD on the route he ran to success in Detroit. Its still early though and there’s time to turn things around for them

Bills do like Grable and he’s just returning from a concussion. Given the lack of available options at RT around the league, it makes you wonder if they’d consider trading RVD. Then again, he has performed well whenever Brown has missed time

I’d argue there’s a big difference between Dorsey’s offense in 2023 and Babich’s defense in 2025. Dorsey’s offense has been struggling to score 20 points over a stretch of about 6 weeks. McDermott wants “balance” on offense and Dorsey kept forcing passing concepts which routinely didn’t work. Plus Josh was turning the ball over. Babich is running a defense that’s a variation of what McDermott ran in 2023. It’s clear they are taking more chances with man coverage and blitzing etc. In 4 games the results have been mixed. Also McDermott knows his defense. The players they were relying on to rush the passer largely haven’t besides Bosa. So so think Babich gets more time but yes, if things don’t change and they lose a few games, I can see McDermott taking over the play calling reigns

It was very weird. It almost looked like he was saying “YES!” to imply that he was happy the season was over. So weird This is true. From all reports he’s not really much of a CEO as head coach. He basically runs the offense but has always given his defensive coordinator complete autonomy with little to no input.

Another crap halftime show

His best game 6-106 yards
