FormerLV-BILLS

They need to quit worrying about what the hell everyone else has, and is doing, and load up their strengths and tell people to come beat them. My god, they have the best player in the league. Screw everyone else and what they do. Load him up. Tell people to stop them. And play to get turnovers on defense. Pretty simple. It's the EXACT thing KC witched to a few years back. It seems like all they do is react to what everybody else is doing, and by the time they react, everyone else has moved on to something else. Load your Big Boy QB up, and tell everyone to stop your ass. That sounds like a better plan than signing 400 medicore defensive lineman over the last 5 years. Most frustrating era of Bills football because of the absolute answer we have at QB right now.

I'm sorry, but that's crap. Also unscientific. I realize that. At the same time, who the hell else in the NFL thinks that running the ball in this era is better than having a strong passing attack. And to make it look even dumber, lets minimize the skills of a 6'4", 240 pound, 29 year old MVP QB while we are at it. This is the dumbest ish I've ever seen. How about loading up your QB AND keep feeding Cook? That'd be cool, no? As bad as the defense has been, letting the team down in the playoffs, the offense too, which has been prolific has failed in crunch time. They've had the ball with chances late in games and stalled. Multiple times in big end of game situations. Period. That's fact. Why'd they stall? Because when you need sure fire talent to make plays in crucial situations, sooner or later, talent is needed. And the Bills offense has failed. I don't give a crap if they steamroll their division, and all the crap that they run up their numbers against garbage in the regular season. It's worthless. That's a given with a QB as generational as Allen is. Can they do it when it counts? And the answer lately is a big fat NO. Who are we counting on to make the big play, when stars are all over the field on both teams with a chance to go to the Superbowl? Late in the 4th quarter. 4th and 6. Need a play from someone other than Allen. Coleman? Samuel? Kincaid? Remember, Kincaid had his chance to be special at the end of the game last year, and failed. First round pick, couldn't make the clutch slightly above average catch. Fact. Who else, Shavers? Knox? Is Cook going to run it for 7 yards on a 4th down and 6? Who's going to make the play? It's as simple as that. You can throw the offensive numbers crap out the door at that point, because they mean squat. You need an Alpha. Everybody eats crap is high school stuff. Time to grow up and get some studs, even if they buck "culture" a bit. Have a pair Beane and McDermott and go for it one friggin time. This isn't difficult. Our WRs suck, and it hurts our team big time.

This is really unscientific and I'm really ready to take the heat for it. No stats to back it up. Just my eyeballs, and being at games watching. But I know what would really make our team use our receivers more, and in the correct role. IF WE ACTUALLY HAD ONE THAT WAS WORTH A CRAP. Why is it so hard to see, or to admit, that our receviers blow? It's not any of our faults. Most of them, for one reason or another, always have, and always will kinda suck. Shakir would be a beast next to a real #1. This isn't thesis level complicated. At least I feel better now.

The grass is rarely brown for anyone that has a QB like Josh Allen. He's worth 11 or 12 wins alone. Gotta have a pair to win it all. Be bold and make a friggin move if they fail again, or it will be the biggest waste of a generational talent NFL in league history.

I have no idea, nor does anyone else, to know if you are right or wrong about how Rossueau is coached. But how's that working out for the Bills? Years and years of this. How's it working out? It's so ridiculously frustrating. It's the same thing, year after year, and it doesn't work in the biggest of games. They need some players that make splash plays. It's pretty damn glorious when Oliver does it from time to time. But damn man, why pay a guy a ton of money to be an edge setter first and foremost. That makes no sense. Unless it's against Lamar. The only thing that baffles me is that McDermott seems to know how to shut down Lamar in the postseason. Maybe it's this disciplined style of play that you speak of that contains Lamar and makes hime throw more. But when you think about it, who doesn't shut down Lamar in the playoffs. But again, my hats off to McD in the postseason against the Ravens. His style of defense seems to be the right thing to slow them down for some reason.

So, let me get this straight, and I'm not picking a fight with you or anyone. But, Rosseau is supposedly close to elite. Bosa is a stud, if he's healthy. And Oliver is a beast according to many here (I think because he sometimes makes splash plays). But yet, the line sucks every frigging game. So, what's wrong? And if McDermott truly is over-coaching all of them, particularly Rosseau, it doesn't really make sense that he brought back one of the biggest freelancing players in the NFL in Phillips. In addition, Bosa constantly gets sucked in to middle running plays and loses the edge. His play so far, should be driving McDermott nuts. I'm glad we have Bosa, but if we have to play the Ravens again, or the Chiefs when games are actually important, he scares the crap outta me. Nothing here is matching any guesses out there as to what's wrong. I'm in the camp of these guys aren't that good. Never really have been. They aren't bad either. We just have a bunch of middle of the road guys without a star. We need to hit on some damn draft picks for a guy that is actually a stud.

34-20 Ravens.

Interesting last paragraph in the PFT report on Florio's site. Not sure I believe it, but.....it is the only thing I could find other than a cousin of Jimmy who works in the Tim Horton's drive-thru and gets Beane his coffee everyday. From PFT..... "Last year Poyer started 16 games for the Dolphins, and the Bills will expect him to contribute right away despite missing all of the offseason. Poyer knows the defense, knows his coaches and knows his teammates, and he should be able to fit right in." I don't know if that is a guess or not on PFT's part. Usually, when it's worded like that, it means contribute to actually playing and being active. Although, it could still mean the other way as well.

You can write a dissertation as long as you want. And you can twist things as much as you want. You know exactly what I mean about our WR's. They are medicore, at best. I've said that about 400 times. FACT: This great offense failed again, when it had the ball last in the playoffs, and once the 1st round pick (and another mediocre pass catcher) failed to make a slightly above average play after Allen performed heroics just to get the ball near him. Why didn't he make the play you ask? Because he isn't/wasn't quite as athletic or coordinated enough to make a catch like that. 1st round pick. Failed when it counts. That lofty #1 ranked offense mattered 0%, because when it comes down to it, he wasn't good enough to make a play in a real pressure situation. AKA, mediocre wins you a 1 pm game against the Saints that we sleepwalk through, especially when Allen your QB. That mediocre talent fails to deliver in crunch time in big playoff games where the other team has star players. See also.....our defense. You defended, not me, Josh Palmer as a #2. He wasn't, but he did have a chance to step in when some Chargers got hurt. You tell me.....what do these stats tell you? 2024 39-584-1 2023 38-581-2 2022 72-769-3 2021 33-353-4 Those numbers SCREAM #4 on a lot of teams. A lot of teams concentrate on the offensive side of the ball. So, what about that year where he caught 72 balls? Well, he sucked the next two years again. A logical conclusion can be that he just kind of sucks. Another logical conclusion could be that he isn't good enough to capitalize on the 72 catch season because he isn't good enough. And the last logical conclusion could be that the Chargers know he sucks because they couldn't keep him elevated, for whatever reason, and keep him as an ascending player. He was painfully below average for 2 consecustive years after his solid year. One solid year, not great, but one solid year. How about Mack Hollins, the biggest and most overrated player since Da'Rick Rogers here (whatever his name was). Supposedly a big loss right? Or should I have used Martin Nance from yesteryear as well? He has stunk his entire career. SCREAMS 4th wr. Actually, as a WR, he screams that he should be waived from the NFL. He was even watched out the door in Orchard Park when the Bills love mediocre WR's and special teams guys. He was signed to a very modest contract in NE that we certainly could have matched here to keep him if we wanted. But hey, he's funny and a good guy because he cooks and walks around barefoot I guess. He actually stars in that stuff. The wrong stuff. 2024 31-378-5 2023 18-251-0 2022 57-690-4 2021 13-223-4 2020 16-176-1 2019 10-125-0 Should I go on? Because it doesn't get much better. And Hollins put up 31-378-5 with the best QB in the league. And then, to boot, the Bills let him go, for the collection of new stiffs that exist now. Shakir could be a beast if he didn't have to be the #1 guy on this team. The rest of these guys.....meh. Hell, that's why Gabe Davis is back in town. Allen is the Porsche at the dealership with a bunch of 2017 Nissan Altima's 200 feet away at the used car section of the lot. Everyone knows it. And it's the same philospjy this year as always. Tell Josh not to be the hero.....when your roster sets him up to have to be the hero. Stats don't tell the entire story. However, they do indicate a lot. And for whatver reason our WR's don't have any stats to be proud of, they don't have any for a reason. Most of the time, it's just the fact that you kinda suck. Our WR's outside of Shakir kinda suck. All of them except Shakir, and Coleman who only gets a pass because he's only in his second year. But he certainly didn't do anything yet to put away the myth that we have no clue how to develop and draft NFL caliber WR's. Everybody is supposed to eat. That's what we use as a cute parting shot for Diggs. However, most of our guys are anorexic. We need some steak eaters on this team. We have only one.....Allen.

Fact......we have one star on this football team after 8 years of this regime. They do get credit for picking Allen. You can try to justify the WR's any way you want, but they are all mediocre. I like Shakir. He's not a #1. I about spit my drink out about your description of Palmer. This is a dude that couldn't produce in LA when they had no WR's because all of them were hurt. Of course though, people here actually thought we lost something when Hollins went to New England. Hollins blows. Of course, his 25-30 catch average number of catches fit right in here. Because after all, everybody eats. But on this team, everyone is anorexic, because they all are mediocre at best. We have one star after 8 years. One. Fact. This is a 3-4 win team without Allen.

I for one, after a regime having 8 years to establish itself, would just like to see someone other than Josh Allen look like a star player. Or hell, I'll even take a WR that looks like they might be better than a typical fourth WR on almost any other NFL team that has even the slightest clue. I could care less about the score. When you watch these games, I see none of that. That's all I want. I ask again, if one of our WR's gets hurt, does it even matter? Once again, we have a stable of about 10 medicore, at best, WR's playing with the best QB in the league. Yet, we have about 400 rotational, and mediocre, defensive lineman again. It's the same tired philosphy of a defensive coach not adding to his strength. I keep hearing about this "best offense in the league crap" every week. But yet, they've had the ball last a few times in the playoffs and couldn't come through. Mainly because when it's crunch time, the mediocre shows. Of course, we all know the defense fails when it counts as well. Catch the friggin ball Kincaid. You are a first round pick that needed to make a decent play as a professional. Mediocre. All over the field. Mediocre players and Josh Allen. But hey Josh, "Don't Try To Do Too Much".

Usually true. However, the Ravens are loaded. They most likely wouldn't suck without Lamar. But they obviously woudn't be as good. Same with the Eagles. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't suck. The Lions probably wouldn't suck without their best player. Hell, they were missing about 10 of them last year, and didn't suck. The Bills.........well...........who the hell would they have left? Without Allen, who the hell would they have left on either side of the ball? There are no other superstars on this team. Not even close to a second one. On offense, who would make a play without Allen out there? On defense, we already know they can't stop good QB's. Imagine if they were on the field more, because the Bills didn't have Allen. Eight years of this regime. One star player. A couple of nice players. The rest (probably 80% of the starters) are interchangeable, mediocre, players. Again, if any of the WR's get hurt, is it really a big deal? We kind of miss Shakir, but they are almost all interchangeable.

It's 100% true. Trubisky has proven to be awful throughout his career. Mike White was already that crappy AFC East QB, and would quickly shift to the worst in the division. And yeah, Buechele blows. He's camp fodder. 3-4 wins without Allen. The Bills have one stud on this team. To me, that's mind boggling 8 years into a regime. They get credit for Allen for sure. But geez, otherwise, it's a collection of medicore talent all over the field. I mean, really, with all of the WR injuries that the Bills have had, does it really matter which three are left out there starting? They have like 12 WR's on the roster, it seems, and all of them are mediocre. And really, none look better than Shavers. To me, it's just as frustrating not equipping Allen with talent than it is not making the playoffs for almost 2 decades. Just my opinion. The same result is coming again from the same exact blueprint we've tried for the last 7 years.

Justin Jefferson.

It's OK, as long as the Bills have 400 rotational, and average, defensive lineman, with another 240 rotational, and below average, defensive lineman on the practice squad......well.......that'll fix everythng. Apparently that fixes one of the most mediocre WR corps in the league as well. As asked by Pam Oliver last night. If Josh Allen isn't on this team, it's 3-4 win team. I fear we are going to get the same exact result as every other year. Same failing blueprint when you have a guy like Allen as your QB.
