Donuts and Doritos

Taking the emotion out, the Bills are a team that is built w/ a defective O-line and not enough weapons but a good not great D, top end WR1, & phenomenal QB. They have no $ or great draft capital or position, bc of the build (we are 30th in assets this off season, that's 3rd to last, see below). That makes it tough to fix the problems they have & do much. The Coach seems to have an aversion to rookies, so we can't just build through the draft but no $ to do much else. We desperately need 2 more true elite weapons to compete w/ Cincy & KC & have to fix 2 to 3 positions at O-Line. We have used 2 of the last 7 first round picks in O, so far from a guarantee we'll address things in the draft as it appears we are overly focused on the D. So Beane is going to have to do a lot of contract restructures to try to do anything more than run it back largely, w/ a few tweeks. But I don't logically see them getting much farther next year. & Yes if the Browns get Deshawn Watson for a full year next year I do logically have a reason for them to move forward. The Bolts need to stay healthy, but a coaching change would do them good. So in the end I agree w/ Diggs, this stinks, he should be upset. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-evaluating-which-nfl-teams-are-best-set-up-for-the-2023-offseason

They have not had a real shot. They were blown out of the only AFC Championship game they were in recently. They have not been back in the 2 seasons since (pretenders go out in divisional games). It's not an overreaction it's just a fact. They were not as close as we thought. & Yesterday's putrid performance shows we're moving further away. If you think we can just run it back & get a different result you're in for another disappointment next year. Cincy & KC are not going away. Jags, Bolts are getting there. Browns will have their QB, if Phins & Jets get stable QBs, it will be even tougher. 63 years of futility & wait till next seasons is quite enough.

I agree w/ Diggs 100%. I'm really having a tough time seeing this team ever really contending for a SB as currently constructed. I'm super frustrated, he should be too. He, Allen & Milano are the only players I give a pass too. They played their guts out. That performance by the coaches & rest of the team was putrid yesterday.

Burrow & Tee Higgins in same draft class, Chase a year or 2 later. That's gonna get awful expensive awful soon. We'll see who they can afford to keep & how they do w/ no $. But yeah until then they are the team to beat. They will beat KC.

Neither over the hill player, want new & exciting.

Mahomes - 5 AFC games 2 SB appear 1 win Burrow - 2 AFC games 1 SB appear Allen - 1 AFC game If Burrow wins the SB he's w/ Mahomes & they are both passed Allen who can't even make 1. I know supporting cast & team yada yada yada. But it's a QB league, they get the glory & the blame. History will not see him as being as good as them if they have titles & he doesn't.

How he handled the Hamlin situation buys him time bc it showed leadership & he does have the respect of the players. But the OC & DC can be upgraded & are fair game. The reality is the only one who might go is Dorsey, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Definitely Dorsey & yes Frasier should move on too. But definitely definitely need a new OC. Anyone got the Panther's address so we can send a bunch of letters of recommendation?

Surprise! Yes he is. Next question.

Score more points than they do. We've invested tons into this already. Time to switch strategies & build up the Offensive arsenal w/ every single weapon we can get. Trade, draft, beg, borrow, steal. We need All the Weapons. Make the other team play catch up like Cincy & the Chiefs do to us. As for the D, it's time for a scheme change, cause same old same old doesn't work, take a page of Cincy's creative D play calling, hire one of their young assistants to be the new D coordinator.

Ahh, the old, ya only beat me bc I was tired excuse. Used to hear that on the playground all the time. Gotta love the classics.

Only reason I can think of is they need to keep him in to block bc the line is Soo bad. But not even sure that's it.

Green Bay fans have been asking that about Rodgers for a decade (apparently their answer was all of them). This off-season will give us the answer in Buffalo.

Retool & overhaul. May need to trade players to get what we need due to our salary cap situation & lack of extra draft assets. Need to rebuild the O-line, get a ton more weapons 2 or 3 Wrs, another RB. New coordinators. Different, more flexible D philosophy.

His handling of the Hamlin situation is the only thing that earns him another shot in my mind. He was impressive with that. But he needs to make a lot of changes next year. They are 31st in tackling, Cincy was first, we were top 3 in drops & turnovers. Details matter & McD is not buttoned up on details. So next year needs to be different or yeah, it should be time for a change.

Those aren't my only options. McD did not have his team ready today in any way. He took 3 timeouts into halftime & burned his second half timeouts w/ 7 minutes to go, no adjustments, no changes in how the offense operated last week to this one (chuck it deep Josh all the time). After last year's 13 seconds debacle, he should be on the hot seat, period. Otherwise expect more of the same. & I'll take a Zac Taylor, who gets his team to the SB in year 3 & looks on his way to another, possibly a win in his 4th season as head coach. That's the kind of guy we need.

Right, give it time. There's always next year (AFC game KC dominated), & next year (13 seconds), & next year (Cincy dominates) & next year & next year. By the time you realize that's who he is Josh's best years will be behind him.

He's Marty Schottenheimer, great most of the season, but comes up short in the playoffs. Hopefully we don't wait too long to realize this like the Chargers did when he coaches Rivers & company.

WGR is going to be fun tomorrow. Hope Howard & Jeremy are prepared for a PTSD therapy session.

Dorsey should go. 10 pts, offense completely not ready today & plays the last 2 weeks are all Josh chuck it deep w/ no adjustment, instead of scheming guys open & getting the ball out quickly. No picks, rubs, nothing. He's really bad. & His press conference this week, when called out for the Miami game was arrogant, "we won't play conservative", meant no changes nothing is wrong. Well we found out today how wrong & inept he was.

I'm not shocked by this honestly, it was building all year. They're not that close & I don't see it getting fixed in 1 off season. Gonna be tough watching them be pretend contenders again next season & fooling me into Billieving a second year in a row. I think they need massive changes (like trade some assets on D & I to get the capital to fix the offense & make some coaching changes & really do a deep dive into changing their philosophy). Nothing should be off the table, nothing.

He's right to he upset. He & Allen are being wasted in this "offense". Major changes are needed. He wants a ring & it doesn't look like that's happening here any time soon.

Cincy all the way now.

You're probably right. They'll run it back again & loose again.

I called him, he laughed at me & hung up.
