seeing that The Bills are going to beane and mcdermott's football mecca, Charlotte, next week maybe beane will move mountains this week to add talent. Jefferson could be a bill this week. yes im kidding

yea i can't argue that. you cant expect a team to win 15 or more games a year. its just an absurd expectation.

well until the offseason this is the hope they have.

Has mcdermott talked today yet?

or as the great Steve Winwood said, For time is a river rolling into nowhere We must live while we can and we'll drink our cup of laughter

Where did you read that? Seems like there is no rush to pay him either. They have two more years. The one guy the bills could fit on their roster is AJ Brown because of the weird way his money is structured but I don't see that happening. It will be funny if he goes to New England. Funny in the bad way.

No. the hope is with oliver's return, hopefully Milano's return, the excellent play of walker that all of these guys together can make the defense better overall. Getting hairston back is the one that could really help but it doesn't seem like he is going to play anytime soon. I don't understand the narrative around hoecht and ogunjobi. The steelers cut ogunjobi because he was lousy against the run his best trait. Doesn't seem like the rams or the steelers are missing these players. Fingers crossed they help here. if these two are not above average difference makers for the bills then Beane has a lot of explaining to do because they are the only hope of the free agent class on defense after getting eliminated two years in a row because the defense was awful vs KC.

Why would minnesota trade Addison though? That seems like a zero percent chance of happening unless he gets another dwi.

I just think the over promotion and visibility of this team is not good. Modern athletes are driven by the perception of being talked bad about or being told they can not do something. The bills spent the entire season last year listening to how bad they were going to be because of the roster changes. They had a laser focus and they played a physical brand of football. imo, for three weeks now they have not been the more physical team and it seems like everyone is just waiting for Allen to do something amazing on offense to save the day. I am hoping all the negativity headed their way will help them get their focus back. I would like to see alec anderson on the field again in the running game. Yes of course Talent is always the number 1 reason for winning and losing. I just believe this is a run first physical offense and for some reason they have gone away from that the past 3 weeks.

yea they were in his face all night but it looks like on that third down play johnson picked up one of the extra guys and josh saw the other one coming. I think they did a good job of picking up that pressure. Not sure why he took the really high risk throw to moore instead of the almost certain first down to shakir.

what does that have to do with what I said?

Just watched that third and 10 incomplete throw to moore. Out of character for Allen, he had shakir for a first down right in front of him. There are two guys there to tackle him immediately but its a first down. Yes I know the end is sitting/spying and could make a play there but I think he has him. He seemingly always throws it there but instead tried the outside shot to moore who I guess missed the adjustment. Oh well. Seems the recipe from last year of running a ton and using shakir on third downs has been missing the last two weeks. Hopefully this is something they get back to .

The chiefs have won a super bowl. Its a different mindset at that point. The Bills hype has been way over the top and imo for all the wrong reasons. Hopefully they come back next week from the bye healthier and motivated. I also hope they go get help at corner and maybe wr. If samuel is just going to be injured every other week they need to add a player. They also could add a wr and dump moore and shavers. Shavers has stepped into the role Mack Hollins played last year because of his size and he is not even in the same zip code. Hollins was a premier blocker on the edge and shavers is not. Hollins could also make a cluth third down catch or a play in the redzone if they needed it and shavers does not appear to be able to do this so far. Hollins brought attitude to the bills offense last year also, I can see him doing the same with the pats on the field this year. its a bummer they didn't recognize that and bring him back. Unless he wanted to leave of course. They are in between a rock and a hard place with WR and Corner. Injuries, the salary cap and lack of available players for trade is going to make this an almost impossible area to fix during the season.

The one positive from this loss is that the hype has stopped. That is a good thing. The over the top super bowl talk in july, hard knocks, the hallmark movie. It's all too much. Now they will be back to where they were last year when everyone thought the dolphins or jets would win the division. now instead of the bills and super bowl every time someone mentions them it will be they are not good enough. I like this and this is the stuff that motivates modern athletes. The flip side of that is they are probably not good enough but we will see if they can ever get the team healthy.

Teams play their schedule that is all they can do. Quality opponents are coming in the next month.

More than likely. I thought the colts missed their window with manning and then they won in 06 somehow. Elway got a major upgrade in coaching and roster building and won two late. there doesn’t really seem to be anything that indicates this team can win a championship at the moment.

His concussions last year were alarming but not on the same level as olave. and more importantly you didn’t give up high draft picks in resigning benford.

They seemingly took Shakir out of the game fairly easy last night because they didn’t have to worry about covering Kincaid and Coleman could not win outside. cook should have touched the ball on nearly every play last night in the second half and they just stopped giving him the ball. from the minute they stopped running and Allen took a ten yard loss on a first down sack cook was never the point of emphasis again. Not using cook all the time in the second half was a mistake and hopefully it never happens again.

He is one hit away from retirement. He has a serious concussion history.

Ha! Just saw Dan Fetes from Buffalo plus say he would take last years Von Miller over Joey bosa. the crap I have taken for saying that from day one. Brandon Beane loves to be on the radio and tv, he needs to answer for the dreadfully bad offseason. The defensive free agents were a pathetically bad group of players. Injuries to rookies are no one’s fault but free agent spending is beane’s job. i don’t know how you fix this defense during the season, especially if jones is out for the year.

mcdermott said jones popped his calf...? what does that mean? Is that a slang term for a muscle strain or did he like pop his calf and is out for good? that was pretty vague.

one day you will realize that teams don't win or lose super bowls on October 13th. I have no idea what the future holds but I know this team as it gets healthier will play well.

Respectfully you are talking to the guy who spent months claiming that Beane blew the offseason on defense. The free agents he signed are all spare parts. I said over and over they wouldn't make a dime's worth of difference......and what did I get, nothing but grief and dislikes because people did not understand what bosa is. now because you are mad because you can't handle a loss in october you are yelling at me because you want coaches fired in october. i bet you are one of the guys who told me I didn't know anything about football when I said white, bosa, ogunjobi, hoecht, forrest etc. wouldn't make any difference.

it ended one drive short in the afc championship game. what is your point.
