I would like to agree with you and also ask Terry this question...If the organization is going to stick with the current coaching staff and their coaching philosophy, what's going to be the difference maker that gets this team to the next level?

Beane should have that play on loop when they start contract negotiations. Pancaked by a backup OT.

Heck no. Nobody should. He looked terrible most of the season and yesterday he was an embarrassment to the position.

McD is a great guy and he was the right guy for what the team went through this season and was the right guy when this team was rebuilding. I just don't see him as a championship-level coach. IMO, Josh has carried this team and that masked many of the holes it has. We'll see what happens this off-season. If Josh isn't given help on the O-line and at WR, then they just don't get it.

Saffold is one of the last guys I want to hear from. The dude looked like a friggin' turnstyle yesterday. He's looked bad all year and hasn't remotely earned what we paid him to come here. Now he says he wants to stay. Hard pass. And if they can't get up for a game that's 2 away from a SB, then that's on them and the coaching staff.

I don't have optimism for next year. We don't have the talent on our O-line or our D-line to compete against teams like Cincy. Absolutely positively dominated on both sides of the LOS. If the organization is going to stick with the current coaching staff and their coaching philosophy, what's going to be the difference maker that gets this team to the next level?

R U serious? Josh spends most of the time on the field running for his life thanks to a porous O-Line. He's essentially left with busted plays because they turn into Josh having to create on the fly, which are not going to be high percentage plays. If it weren't for Josh's mobility, the Bills probably set a new record for their QB getting sacked in a season.

Disagree. They just ran into a better and hungrier team than they were. Nobody is deciding they don't want to play any more 2 games from the SB.

So I'll pose this question to you...If the organization is going to stick with the current coaching staff and their coaching philosophy, what's going to be the difference maker that gets this team to the next level?

So continued early exits from the playoffs is acceptable to you all the way until McD retires? Yikes.

I'm no Jerry Jones fan either, but the point I was trying to make was he's an owner that is always involved with the team, who wants to win, and will do what he thinks he needs to do to make that happen. I'm not sure Terry has that same commitment to try and win a championship. He's always struck me as more of a guy who wants to field a competitive team, but doesn't show a lot of interest in trying to go beyond that. Not nearly as bad as tightwad Wilson was, but also not a night and day difference either.

You know what? I bet Josh and Diggs are already over it. I suggest you try to do the same. Calling to break up one of the best QB-WR tandems in football isn't it.

That and the fact their receivers were pretty much running wide open all game too.

What would our O-line look like with 3 backups? That right there is an indication we aren't a top tier team and Cincy is. Von Miller would've made zero difference in that game. They were getting blown off the ball on almost every snap. If your starting D-line can barely get a whiff of the QB for almost the entire game and are getting gashed on the ground at the same time, sorry, but you're not a top tier playoff team. That's not even getting into how terrible the offense looked.

The phrase "quality over quantity" comes to mind here. We have just the opposite on our line...quantity over quality.

If we paid Edmunds what he will demand on the open market, the amount of money we will have tied up just between him and Von on the defensive side would be mindboggling.

This team was thoroughly embarrassed in their own house yesterday. This was not a top tier team in the playoffs. A top tier team is what dominated the Bills in every aspect of the game with 3 starters out on the O-line.

The thinking there is with his height and wingspan, he can basically create a big black hole in the middle of the field that swallows up any balls thrown his direction, but like you said, I'm just not seeing where that happens on anything remotely close to a consistent basis. Without addressing the O-line and WR, we are doing a huge disservice to Josh. Someone with his rare talent deserves better and if this front office and coaching staff don't understand that, they are simply ensuring Josh will never have the protection and weapons he needs to go toe-to-toe with Burrow and Mahomes in the postseason.

Just qualifying for the playoffs should not protect a HC's job. It wasn't even that difficult to make the postseason this year. If you're getting bounced in the earlier rounds after getting to the AFCCG, you're regressing, not progressing. And yesterday's loss was simply embarrassing.

If Jerry Jones were the owner, he'd be gone this morning. Heck, may have been gone after 13 seconds.

Especially with what it's going to cost us to keep Edmunds.

Von made the entire line look better than it actually was because he demanded so much attention. Bruce Smith did the same thing.

I've always said, what good is a D-line rotation if most of the guys you're rotating are mediocre? You just have a fresh, mediocre line.

We know the O-line had big issue going into yesterday, but OMG, yesterday at times it seemed like they weren't even there. Small speed bumps at best. Josh getting almost instant pressure from the second he received the snap. Your QB not having any time to throw even against a 3-man rush at times is just inexcusable. Morse and Dawkins are the only people on that line worth a darn IMO. Saffold said he wants to stay in Buffalo. He doesn't even deserve half of what we paid him to come here the way he's looked this season.

Deservingly so. To get embarrassed like that at home on both sides of the ball is inexcusable. The scoreboard wasn't even indicative of how big a butt whoopin that actually was. Completely dominated in all aspects of the game.
