How was Elam a head case? He never caused any problems. He just wasn't a good football player.

You might not fully understand that we don't have the personnel to do that. This ain't the 90's. No Huddle is a relic. In today's NFL, Defenses would adjust and their athleticism (especially an Elite Defense like Houston's) would have us 3 and Out'ing too often - sticking our MASH Unit or an already poor Defense back out on the field with no rest. We don't have Andre Reed and James Lofton alongside a pair of Tight Ends like Pete Metzelaars and Keith McKeller and a Kenneth Davis to our Thurman Thomas or an anchor like Kent Hull. Terrible idea with the makeup of this offense.

You're not going to look perfect when your pass blocking gives up EIGHT sacks on your QB and he's under pressure and hit even more than that. Without taking into account multiple times when he stayed down on the ground. And when your weapons aren't getting open and you have to force throws, playing from behind - as has been the case practically all season. I said it all offseason, even before we saw how poor our pass catching unit would be, that expecting him to be the perfect MVP player he was last year every single season isn't fair to him. We're now at a point where anything less than perfect is "below average". And that also isn't fair to him. I can't tell you why you should or shouldn't watch the Bills this season. That's up to the person. Personally, i'll always cheer them on every weekend and hope we win. But you have to have literal blind optimism and a ridiculous level of homerism to ignore all the many issues with this team beyond the build of the roster to honestly think we have a shot to win a Super Bowl with this team.

You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think this team can advance to the Super Bowl. This is not a Super Bowl roster on either side of the ball, specifically on Defense. We're dropping to teams like the Falcons, Dolphins, and now a Davis Mills led Texans. The Defense can't stop anyone. And the Offense isn't built to play from behind. On top of all of that, we can't stay healthy, the coaching is atrocious, and teams have the blueprint to disect both sides of the ball. We may get in as a Wild Card. But against the best teams in the AFC, we have no shot. Let alone going on a 3 game winning streak against the best teams in the AFC.

Lol yeah - I realized after the fact that you were talking more in terms of the amount of cap designated to bad contracts and people who won't be here anymore than freeing cap space. Thus the deleted post.

Maybe if he was a Football guy and didn't also own the Sabres. He's spent literally decades (22 years) going through countless coaches and GM's trying to find one that could so much as get them to the Playoffs. I don't think that isn't a major key to his reluctancy to pull the trigger for unknowns with the Bills. Beane and McDermott are literally the only hires that have ever won for him in multiple sports.

That's what happens when you're constantly playing from behind and playing hero ball with guys who can't get open. You have to force throws. And when you force throws - picks happen. He was throwing to where Gabe was supposed to be. I don't know if he got tripped up or he fell or what happened there. I walked away from the TV the second they said the penalty was going to be on the Offense and didn't watch the replay.

I'm at a point where i'd rather just tap out on this game and put Mitch in. Josh is getting hit every other play.

Dear lord - has our Pass Blocking ever looked worse?

How about we try to get Reggie Gilliam out in the flat at the 50 and do another DEEP handoff on 4th and a long 1. Key to victory stuff!

A DEEP handoff on 4th and 1. Genius!

Even if we do, we're just prolonging the inevitable. This is simply not a "Championship Caliber" roster. Really on either side of the ball, but especially on Defense.

"No vacancy in the Blue Tent" is a microcosm for our whole season.

Sprinting to the line to hand that extension in was baffling to me. Nothing about 2024 made me think he was anything but replaceable. 2025 has been even worse. Simply enrages me they jumped at extending him early.
