They are playing Cover 1…not Cover 0. And yes, defenses don’t respect the Bills receivers on the outside. It’s going to stay like this until they make someone pay

He had chances. Go watch Dorsey’s final 6 games as OC. You think he was waiting for his counterpunch?

No, that was the Cook catch out of bounds.

This is where I am too. It’s frustrating because there doesn’t seem to be a dominating team in the AFC. My only complaint is that they didn’t draft another WR or two. Let those guys take their lumps as rookies going into season 2 where you can add maybe 1 piece to the room. I think they overvalued what Curtis Samuel and MVS would bring to the table

i don’t think the Bills viewed this roster as having a serious chance at the Super Bowl which is why they traded Diggs and moved on from vets like Mitch Morse.

That’s the problem and the reason why Beane called it a “team in transition.” This probably is not a Super Bowl caliber roster. They definitely aren’t at WR

I’ve always said I never liked this WR room. If you look at the group on paper they are probably among the worst in football. I don’t think it’s that they aren’t belong utilized… they just aren’t very good

His biggest indictment was the the trick play which his admitted was bad process and bad execution. If anything, before that the offense was starting to gel a bit. The running game actually performed well against a good Ravens interior and Josh started completing a few passes downfield. With that said, when the Bills can’t run the ball passing is going to be challenge when facing strong secondaries given the WR’s

The difference is Benjamin was a former 1 round draft pick with potential and was just 26 at the time of the trade. His salary was relatively modest and he was under contract in 2018 as well. The main issues I see with Adams are age, contract and salary as well as compensation. I can’t see him making this move

Yes… if I’m making the call I would trade the second. But I don’t think Beane will. If anything he’d be more inclined to trade a lower pick for a WR like Amari Cooper.

I saw that Cincy was charging a $99 for a ticket to a watch party against KC at Paycor stadium. I can see how the atmosphere would be cool but for me, I’d rather watch at home.

Adams in 2024 is the polar opposite of every player that the Bills are typically interested in trading for: - older - expensive - likely a 1 year rental - requires significant draft capital - will want his share of targets on offense The Bills need a WR like Adams this year but I highly doubt they make a serious attempt for him.

I thought if this game this week. Also the Week 2 drubbing against Miami the season before. Didn’t mean anything in January

My gripe as well. It’s odd because Beane said he didn’t want to duplicate skill sets at WR which is what he did with this roster. There’s still time left in the season but the performance last week in the passing game has left me skeptical of this group.

Not sure why people are roasting you… The central idea is questioning whether Brandon Beane did enough at WR. Obviously TBA, but if I had to make a prediction, I’d say “yes.” The fact that they are asking about Adams is evidence of this. Is there any top tier QB that has a worse support cast of skill players than Josh? Trading Diggs in April and the corresponding cap situation really limited what they could do. However, it’s not like there weren’t options. Beane could have traded up for a better WR in the draft, drafted another WR before or after Coleman or made a move to put someone better in the room than MVS. I think the plan was to run the offense through Shakir and Kincaid and distribute the ball to everyone else. That works when your running game is effective. When you have to rely on passing like in Baltimore that’s a problem.

I didn’t want him to be traded but was down on him after he choked against KC in the playoffs. My hope was draft a top WR to play 1 season with Diggs and move on. This was my main gripe as well. It usually takes a rookie a season or two before they can be a dependable target. I wanted them to go back-to-back picks at WR

This was always a concern with the WR room and the Bills have no one else to blame but themselves: Shakir - only WR that can separate (now injured) Coleman - doesn’t separate/rookie Hollins - doesn’t separate Samuel - non factor MVS - cooked When the Bills traded Diggs we thought Beane had something in mind to replace him. Maybe trade for Brandon Auiyuk or trading up trading up for Rome Odunze of Brian Thomas Jr. NOPE…just Keon Coleman and MVS

Hollins wasn’t really open which makes the play that much more brutal

He really wasn’t playing that good and only completed short passes. He also barely put any points on the board. The truth is Skyler is probably more of a 3rd string QB and Miami fans are killing Grier and McDaniel for that. To be fair though, many teams - including this years Bills team would probably be sunk with their backup QB playing meaningful snaps

Sounds like McCourtey thinking out. There’s zero chance Wilson is part of any trade. I can see him being quietly unhappy if Adams takes his role but what can he really do? Also as far Mike Williams being “explosive” he has 8 catches on the season and struggled to get in the field. They’d have no problem taking snaps away from Wilson, Williams or Lizard if it meant getting Adams in the building.

I think overall Hamlin and Rapp been ok. No impact plays really but also no glaring mistakes. The way Hamlin is playing reminds me a lot of 2022. I think Babich and McDermott have been able to utilize them in C2 to protect against the big play. I also think that the front 4 who had been generated good pressure prior to week 4 has helped a lot. With that being said, I think there are some limitations with both players and a big reason why the team will likely give more time to Bishop and likely Edwards as well. The safeties were being used deep to protect against big play. McDermott normally has been very effective coaching against McDaniel’s offense. Bills were ok giving up yards underneath in that game

The Dolphins put themselves in a bad spot with Tua this summer. Given his injury history and decline late last season, I think it’s fair to believe they’d prefer to wait a season. But the team kind of decided to go “all in” again this season and Tua had the leverage, so they crossed their fingers and pulled the trigger.

Worthy is pretty much the WR we thought he would be in the Kansas City offense. The lamenting from some Bills fans is ridiculous. It’s interesting how with the WR injuries in KC, everyone is talking about making a trade. I think it speaks volumes to Worthy’s role in this offense. With that being said, I wasn’t crazy with how the Bills approached the WR position and would love for the team to have someone that can threaten to go deep like Worthy He passed the test by catching 3 balls 👍🏻

Why would a looming suspension affect the game on Sunday? Von didn’t play because the Ravens never had a 3rd down! Why would a looming suspension affect the game on Sunday? Von didn’t play because the Ravens never had a 3rd down!

There’s a few issues on this play and Oliver is only part of it - I think the bigger problem is that he has a way of just disappearing in big games. Far too often he’s had a stat line on 0’s
