I actually thought about this last night, and had a memory of one time after Kelly got sacked bc house ballard missed a block, right after on the sideline, Kelly had Ballard by his facemask pulling his face down and was screaming at him. He didnt miss another block all year, if memory serves! In any case, I wouldnt mind seeing Allen hold other players to account more often.

And do you somehow believe our problems will just disappear in January? Hasn't history shown you that they do not?
Some fans and apparently the team itself are content to get into the playoffs and win a game or two but no more.
Before I get carried away and talk about the playoffs though I'd like to see the bills beat a .500 team. Just one and we can declare we're great again

This seems a little gloomy to me.
I don't think this is a very good Bills team - but the AFC is so middlin' right now. Last night was a bummer, but we were really missing a lot of guys, particularly receivers (no Kincaid, no Samuel, no Palmer most of the game). That really turned a pretty winnable game into a loss. And I fully expect a trade for WR by the deadline.
I think we get 12 wins, which likely wins the division.
We're always missing a lot of guys. The roster is too thin to be missing a lot of guys every game. Next man up is not a philosophy that's going to work here

OK, I'll be the realist. I called the NE loss. I called the loss last night. I'm calling a tough loss to Carolina and KC.
"We are making the playoffs"... most likely, I hope. But it doesn't matter. This team is weak on D both with and without starters playing. Way too many holes. No "dawgs" on this team. Pats/Atlanta had the will to win. We don't seem to have it.
It'll be an epic struggle the last 3rd of the season to capture the last wild card spot. The team will give it their all and be completely shot by the playoffs.

You can't handwaive away the injuries though. Every team has to deal with them. We seem to get more than our share, which I attribute mostly to our GM's compulsion to find the slightest built players at any given position, except WR, which he seems to prefer power forwards with hands of stone.

Maybe they can call that meeting after they get back from their week-long beach vacations. The players are going to be sitting with sand in their toes, drinking Mai-Tais while all of Buffalo and Bills Mafia stew for a week.
I love that this post came from forum username 'low positive' almost like we've been here before
But yeah, for real, players are going to be a million miles away physically and mentally. Surely McD will still be putting in time at OBD practicing his clapping though, so we have that going for us

If they have a 9-8 year … they better find that No 1 receiver at pick 18
You know Beane would never take a WR that high. Think of all the tiny & fragile CBs and DL that will still be there at 18

And all of that has gotten us to be the 2nd best record in the NFL for how many seasons? Some fans are acting like this franchise has been the Jets the last few seasons. Truth be told were not horrible. Also I'm tired of it's "only cuz of Josh". He has been excellent no doubt but no man is an Island in the NFL.
The Bills roster is objectively worse than it's been at any time in the last 6 years. Beane's penchant of drafting undersized injury prone players, and avoiding getting weapons for Allen is yielding the inevitable fruit.

And you can predict the future and know our roster in 2-3 seasons?
I can't give you names but we know what it'll look like.
Offense:
- Decent OL
- 1 good RB, a couple JAGs
- scrap heap WRs. Everyone eats!
- 2 decent tight ends
Defense
- a bunch of 1st and 2nd round DL that are slightly below middle of the pack in terms of outcomes
- undersized but athletic LBs
- CBs that play 10 yards off the WR, safeties safely away from plays

We're not going to get peak allen under Brady's scheme and McD's gameday coaching. The entire pLaY cOmPlEmEnTaRy fOoTbAlL philosophy increasingly feels like an excuse rather than a plan. At any rate, we got complimentary football last night, and Allen was basically a bystander.

A must win is coming up vs Carolina. The Panthers have been playing well lately. I would hope this will be one of those games where the Bills win big and the game is over by halftime or 3rd quarter. To be fair the Bills have won many regular season games like that over the years. It wouldn't surprise if this ends up being a close game that goes down to the wire. I don't even want to think about 4-3.
Bryce Young can pick apart a defense if given any time. We'll see if Babich can make any kind of adjustments to consistently get pressure. Maybe our PED guys can help

The Eagles seem like the NFC version of the Bills this season. They look "off". The OL isn't as good; Barkley isn't close to what he was last year. The defense isn't as good as last year. They just got smoked by the Giants and even with Dart they still suck. Of course, they did win the Super Bowl last year so if they have an "off" year it's no big deal as opposed to the Bills who can't seem to get over the hump and win a Lombardi.
I think it'll be a must win for the Bills so hopefully they'll succeed despite coaching

So, here's who we have left. I'm interested in the collective's thoughts around which of these games we'll win.
@Carolina - Manhandled Atlanta a few weeks back. Not a good team but seemingly unpredictable. Really no idea on this one. Coming off the bye I have to believe it's a W
KC - KC is coming on and we're fading, or that will be the narrative. KC hasn't beat us in a while in regular season but getting some guys back as we're losing more. Calling this an L. Even if the rosters were more or less equal there's a yawning chasm between the capabilities of the coaching staffs. As organizations ultimately reflect their leadership, this becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
@Miami - this is the acid test. If we can't win this time to tank for whatever undersized high motor DL that Beane covets most. Call it a W
Tampa - Tampa playing solid ball now. Mayfield finally delivering on his promise. This is an L
@Houston - No idea here. They seem to have some of the same problems the bills do, and we havent been good against them. L
@Pittsburgh - Again, a team that gives us fits. Rogers will likely feast on our bend then break defense. Cutesy playcalling against the D will go nowhere L
Cincinnati - should be a W. They're just in a tough place though we have exactly nobody to cover those WRs.
@New England - right now this is a L strait up, but hoping we see a regression to the mean between now and then. Hope is our best strategy!
@Cleveland - pretty sure they're running for the busses by this point and we'll be in dire straits needing a W to try to get a wild card spot. Maybe we'll be playing against the legendary Shedeur?
Philadelphia - unless the eagles have the top spot locked up and are starting their scrubs, I dont see a win here. Or why not, Allen decides to don the cape and goes all world. W
New York Jets - we'll need a win to get a wildcard. Jets are hapless. W
Does 10-7 get us a wild card? Not sure it matters because we simply don't have the horses to make noise in January.

This ... how long before Josh tires of all of it and demands a trade to the Rams to replace Stafford ?
He looked like an utterly defeated man last night. Beyond defeat and right into not caring. I can't blame him, and i sincerely doubt anything is going to change.

Just trade Josh at this point. Get some capital for him and rebuild.
They refuse to get him any WRs so you have to wonder how much they actually value him?

It could be that we are really just an average football team. 4-2 sounds good, but who have we beaten? Teams that are a combined 3-21.
I don't see how you can fix all of this mid-season, but happy to be proven wrong.
We have to adjust to the reality that this is not a Super Bowl team and wont become one with the sorts of minor tweaks that will be hailed as major innovation by our anachronistic coach and GM.
We did OK around here for a long time with middling expectations. An ahistorical few years left us thinking big, but reality always finds its way back to the front. Beane and McDermott have been given far too much leeway and this team is the result of that. I’d feel better if Josh or Dawkins called a players only meeting and held each other to account because McD is incapable of enforcing any kind of discipline. It’s a bad product and hard to watch.

These stubborn oafs aren’t going to do ANY of that. They will more likely double down.
It’s this. Despite 5 games of evidence leading into last night, we just saw more of the same
I said it last week and got told to stop being relentlessly negative.
We have terrible leadership on this team and Josh is giving up. I hope he goes to California and gets away from these vampires for a while and comes back refreshed. Not that it’ll matter much with the island of misfit toys on both sides of the ball.
Bills games are pretty much unwatchable now. We’ve got Jauron without the defensive competence.

Both coordinators need to be replaced and someone needs to get a sports psychologist to figure out what's wrong with Allen.

With Shakier double teamed, we're down to Moore, Shavers, and Coleman. No wonder they're sending the house on every down. There is absolutely no threat anywhere on the field, especially with our idiot coordinator taking Cook off the field.
But hey at least our very smart GM drafted a bunch of defense guys who aren't even playing. 12th dimensional chesa

Chris Olave should be on this roster tomorrow. Its time for Beane to call WGR, apologize, and make a move.
He won't. They won't change anything

He’s rattled tonight, this team has a lot of problems, and I’m always an Allen defender, but this looks like his opening game against the Jets last year.
Allen sucks tonight. He sucked last week too. Pretending otherwise for reasons does not help

The obsession with turning Josh Allen into a pocket QB
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I swear mcd and Brady are doing their best to ruin Allen. It's hard to see it otherwise. As a thought exercise, if Brady and McD/Beane had been given a billion dollars by some shadowy group with the promise they would ruin Allen, what exactly would they have done differently in the last 3 years?
