    Random talking head says something about the Bills

    We allocate money to the defense because if your defense sucks, you have very little chance to win the SB.  I too, wish that we had invested more into WR.  Yet somehow, you are a dismal pillar of pain, while I’m still as enthusiastic as ever. We have the best player in the world and we can win a SB every season because of that fact. 
     

    We’ve been contenders for 4 seasons.  In 3 of those seasons, we were beaten by a dynasty team that rolls through everyone almost every postseason.  It’s not as if we’re doing things wrong. We’ve been beaten the the better (and luckier):team.  A transition season is inevitable for every team with stud QBs getting paid.  They didn’t do it the way you would’ve done it-  hence your aura of pessimism and sadness 

    I mean, it's not THAT serious. I want The Bills to win, and to have a loaded team, but I have my own other problems that make this not that big of a deal in the big scope of things. Not saying that applies to just me, we all have our things going on.

     

    I know that we have been contenders, and have, imho, the 2nd best QB in the NFL. I say it often. Usually over here I find myself defending him, which is ridiculous. My aura of sadness is that I feel this team slipping away, with other teams emerging in the AFC, while not having gone to a Super Bowl. I know we may never get to a Super Bowl, I just hoped in the Josh Allen era, while we have this guy on our team, we would give him a team where he doesn't have to be the hero of the hour. I am not even just counting this year. I look back to prior years, 2020 the offense was explosive, but the defense was pretty weak. 2021 I think our defense was ranked 1 in DVOA, yet to me they felt like paper tigers against good to great offenses(Tennessee, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, could not stop the Patriots run game in the Snow Globe game, could not stop the Chiefs in 13 seconds). I will give the 2022 Bills grace, a lot of crap went down that year, along with injuries. Last year was a lot like the 2021 year, and ended that way, again with a lot of injuries.

     

    So yes, I am happy Josh Allen is our QB, and I did not go into this season with huge expectations, at all. I am ending this conversation because I really don't feel like arguing or feeling like I have to be on the defensive over some opinions I have.

    I was not happy with their mischaracterization of our defense, which held Murray to just 3 points in the second half, and the idea that Josh has to put the team on his back and play Superman... they obviously ignored the effectiveness of our run game with balance and the fact that Josh makes the decision to take off and run, not Brady as a game plan.

    I think tomorrow will be a true test. I for one am not feeling good about it. Miami has an explosive offense with a lot of speed, that it's hard to think Buffalo, given how they looked last week, will be able to stop them. Given that we have so many young guys on the defense, I would not be surprised if we end up getting a million flags. I hope I am wrong about all this, of course. Moestert is out and Achane will be a gtd, so that might help our defense a little. My personal opinion is we will have to win a shootout.

    What?  These statements are dumbfounding.  McD has too much trust in him, otherwise he wouldn’t allow him to put his body on the line the way he does.  McD understands that he can (and must) talk to Josh about protecting himself but the worst thing he could do is to demand he stop playing the only way he knows how.

     

    I guarantee you Josh doesn’t feel sorry for himself or bemoan the team he is playing with.  We have a beast at QB who is always going to lay it on the line to get the W.

     

    I don’t understand why fans don’t realize this and can’t simply enjoy what we have.  It’s a hell of a lot of fun it you let it be.

     

    Tired?  Dude, perhaps you should find a different hobby.

    My opinions, and I don't think McDermott trusts him that much. He punts the ball away often, instead of allowing Josh to go for it and try and get a first down. He did it in the Eagles game last season, despite Josh the season before throwing an absolute dart to Diggs with 20 seconds on the clock. Last week he did not allow Josh to try and get the first down and went for a field goal instead. Obviously it worked out in the end, but to me it comes off as a lack of trust. I felt like last weeks game was very similar to the Chiefs playoff game, which again, felt to me like they were scared of what Josh might do and had him be conservative. When we were down by a good amount last week, then they unleashed him.

     

    Oh and yes, I am tired. It's an emotional rollercoaster and I feel like this team is not helping their QB out enough. It's my opinion.

    This is absolutely a legitimate concern. Playing like he did last week every single game is not sustainable for the future. He IS going to get hurt. He IS going to wear down physically. They have been running him balls-to-the-wall for a few years now because he'd prefer to allocate resources to the defense, and it's only a matter of time before we look up and realize that Allen is completely spent.

    It's hard to watch, and if you dare bring it up people get defensive or respond with laughing or eyeroll emoji's, which is why I usually steer clear of discussing it. I understand it is a rebuilding year, but right now the difference feels too extreme. I hate that he is now 28 years old and in his 7th year it's a "rebuild" year, and again it's all on his shoulders. If we had some SB wins or even appearances in the mix, maybe this wouldn't feel so bad. As it is, I feel like this team is becoming further irrelevant compared to other AFC teams, outside of the QB keeping them in the mix. A QB that sustains injuries more and more over the years, going into game 2 with one, and thinking about someone like Andrew Luck and what all those hits did to his body and led him to retire at 29 years old.

     

    I'm not saying The Bills can't win or make the playoffs this year, maybe they will, and I have no problem eating crow and them proving me wrong. I hope I am wrong. I just feel aggravated about the state of this team right now.

    Shakir's effort and Touchdown didn't impress you?

    Shakir always impresses me. I think he is good, and I think our offense is decent. It's just that I am embarrassed and sad for our QB, in his 7th year, that this is the team being put out with him. That he still has a head coach that doesn't seem to fully have his trust, and a solid defense to help him out. I just don't think this team does enough to make his life easier. Quite the contrary, they are asking even more from him this season, and I was hoping we could gradually pull away from that. He has to be Superman for the team to win games, and put his body on the line. I can't see him doing this for 17 more games. I am tired.

    Cowterd didn't have the Bills in his top 10 hierarchy 

    As of now I don't feel they deserve to be. The only player putting this team on the map and giving them a chance is QB1(maybe Rousseau will continue his leap), and as per usual, he is being failed by this organization YET again. I was very impressed by him Sunday, but not the team as a whole. I am honestly scared we may be on the receiving end of a blowout tomorrow. 

     

    Maybe I am proven wrong, and I would be very happy to be proven wrong, but imho, as of now, the 2024 Buffalo Bills are a one man show.
