In 2023 and 2024 he made the list of top 20 fastest ball carriers of a given week 4 times. He might still have some juice with a real QB throwing to him.

Correct. He signed as a free agent, not a waiver claim. No one wanted his contract, he has a new one.

Nope, he cleared waivers because of contract no one would claim him.

They did not get his contract. He cleared waivers and was signed as a free agent.

He cleared waivers and was a free agent because of the poison pill in his contract that discouraged a waiver claim.

He was really fast before electricity.

This year, I think that is largely the PTSD of being a Bills fan for 60 years. I can relate-- I feel the same way.

Not against the Dolphins. We were down 23-6 late in 4th. Never got it within one score. But I agree with the point there has been a loss of confidence late in the game.

That game was a total dumpster fire. All the strategy in the world would not have changed the outcome.

Agree. A related point in the article is how the O-line was just not physical enough. I take all that to be a lack of focus. It seems to be a collective lack of focus, starting with Allen.

It was in the 4th quarter and the score was 23-16.

Bills 30, not Dolphins 30.

Nine turnovers in three games-- -2 on the season compared to +24 last year. Explains much. Details: 1. Poor game plan/poor calls-- Brady called too many plays that took too long to develop and did not adjust when pass rush was hot. Poor individual play calls, particularly the 4th and 1 call that failed. Not a shining hour. 2. Josh-- reverted to making poor decisions and trying to do too much. Some of the lowlights include the hit from behind that caused Josh to hurt his shoulder. He had an open field to run to get a first, and two receivers open for a quick throw for a first. Instead, he slows and tries to reset his feet for a long throw, and the lack of awareness almost got him killed. First pic was a terrible decision to force pass into coverage, when he had easy throws to both Davis and Cook. Although not all the sacks were his fault, he held the ball instead of throwing it away on several or made silly decisions as in running backward on the -18 sack. Another Miami-like game. 3. McDermott-- Has become almost too aggressive chasing points. If he kicked the FG on the failed 4th and 1 run with Cook, score would have been 23-22 late and an FG would have won it. In a tight game, points matter. 4. Conclusion-- "[Bills] need to be honest with themselves and come to terms with their own failures. Too many penalties, way too many turnovers and, from Allen's point of view, too many negative plays." Bills can clean this up, but they need to have a sense of urgency about it. It's up to them. Behind BN paywall.

The Bills are still one of the betting favorites to win the AFC. No Matter is correct, all these supposed glaring problems existed in September (in April going back to "inept" Beane's appearance on WGR) -- if it was so obvious that the situation was so effed up then the expectations of glory were unwarranted. You can't have it both ways. Either the expectations were unrealistic or it's not over.

I get why people feel sorry about all this and feel sad and lose hope. Just disappointed in the lack of resilience.
