Based on post game comments by McD, it's mostly all on Brady. Here's what I don't understand. The Bills WR were not great last year, but we still had one of the top offenses in leage, Allen won MVP, it wasn't just because of his running ability. While many wanted more improvements for 2025, seemed most felt the WR group was better this year than last with the addition of Palmer and Coleman having a year more experience. The Coleman part hasn't worked out, but even there, statistically not any worse than last year. Hollins was good last year , but he is far from a #1 WR. Kincaid also has been improved. So what happened?

But that's in dog years!

I'm sure people on the west coast would love a 3:30 start time.

Yeah but tough for a guy drafted that high to accept in year 2. Hollins was a 4th round pick, so much easier for him to understand he'll need to play ST and wasn't drafted top be a starter right away.

The problem here is the majority of posters think with their emotions and not their brains. How many posts there were 3 years ago ripping S Brown and stating the Bills need to get rid of him. Many of the same posters 2 years ago were saying how much of an improvement there is from Bernard over Edwards, now they want to git rid of Bernard and ripping Beane for extending him. There's many other players here fit similar profile of people here having no patience. Yes does it look like they are correct on Coleman and were on Elam, but I'd be willing to bet anyone that I'd be correct more than they would about which player will suck if I can take every player in the league as many more players fail than ever succeed. I didn't see it posted here, but one rumor I heard Coleman's being benched tonight because he doesn't want to learn to play ST which where he is on the depth chart right now, he needs to.

#1 I do wonder if Allen would have made that same pass that resulted in the first int, if he wasn't in the endzone as he realized if he didn't get rid of the ball it was safety. I'd hope if were say on the 5 or 10 yard line he'd have taken the sack rather than throw a pass like that?? #6 I read Harston played like 2 more plays than White did

I wore the correct Bills shirt. Last week I made the mistake of wearing one they had lost an earlier game in

Is Moore a FA?

Don't believe last year he was actually inactive though. Thought it was like he didn't play the first half or something. Making him inactive for disciplinary reasons would be a new low for him.

Maybe also Latu as could better use Gilliam as 3rd TE and if they still want an extra blocker, put Anderson on the field as eligible. Considering Shakir is probably not 100% think they'd keep Coleman active as backup slot option if needed.

I read someplace about entire Disney/ESPN plan is now included. Not sure what the extra parts exactly are?? As for price I'm thinking, Disney gave a bit of a price break to YTTV for the first year and YTTV will also eat part of the cost increase initially and will announce a modest price early in 2026. Then in 2027 have a bigger price increase.

Just read an article on ESPN website where McDaniel is giving a big thank you to Dan Quinn as they are playing Washington this week so he brought it up. Apparently 10 years ago Quinn was the main driver, also mention Kyle Shanahan and Raheem Morris in getting McDaniel sober when they were all in Atlanta and he said he hasn't drank since. Don't recall any of this, but likely because 10 years ago McDaniel was an unknown in the league.

I'm more starting think the opposite, the problem isn't the coaching, but the players. But also not sure on who ultimately has picked the players. Does Beane have the biggest voice in the room on that, or the scouts, or McD, Is Pegula telling him who to pick? Or is it simply a consensus? I will say it is possible that it's getting to the point where the players are tuning McD out as that often happens when you have the same coach for a number of years. That's one benefit of losing, the coach is never around long enough for that to happen? Gruden had quite a few bad years, the one year he won it all were with a roster he didn't have that much input on putting together. Belichick only won with Brady, yeah Allen is as good as Brady, in some ways better, but doubtful he has the will to win that Brady did and that's not a knock on Allen. Belichick was also terrible at player selection, his first few years he had Paoli, once he left, things went downhill. Belichick also won alot due to "cheating", with social media and all the monitoring and camera's, think that's harder to get away with today too.

This article in the Athletic talked about all the coaches that he didn't get along with headlined by Wink Martendale, but 5 others fired too, lit into the team doc on sideline., blocked a lateral move for existing OC, but then yanked the play calling away from him , lax discipline on the team etc. I don't recall the Jerry Hughes thing??

I just read a whole article about Daboll's time in NY. Sounds like he can hardly work with anybody.
