Pure speculation on my part, but my guess is that we'll eventually find out he is dealing with an injury that is limiting him, similar to Rapp. CB was too good in past years to have his play drop like it has for no reason. Like Rapp, the options to let him sit and recover have been limited, so I suspect he has had to play through it. Rapp isn't an All Pro, but he is much better than what he showed before going to IR.
I had a tinfoil hat thought the other day along these lines. There’s been more injuries showing up in practice this year than any year I can remember. What if some of those are just the player deciding he can keep playing hurt/hiding the injury? What I mean is that a player is playing through injury for weeks, but hiding it from team officials so he doesn’t have to be listed on the injury report. At some point, he realizes it’s not getting better, so he “gets hurt” in the next practice, and all of a sudden is missing games.
Note: I don’t actually believe this. But I also can’t disprove it, and at this level of competition I wouldn’t put anything past these players.

The Bills D held Mahomes to the lowest completion percentage of his career in the regular season. And okay his left tackle is out but he had all his weapons.
People will fixate on a couple of long conversions - most notably the 4th and 17 - but the Bills D overall played an excellent game. Even after that drive Mahomes had two more shots with the ball needing a TD to win and the Bills defense got it done.
And yes, Allen was excellent today. He said himself in the week he had to play better than he has the last handful of games for the Bills to win today, and he did. Hopefully he can maintain this focus because even with our injuries on defense if Josh plays like he did today the #1 seed is still possible.
If we broadly keep playing like that, the 1 seed is highly probable.-

We never get anyone open downfield on PA shot plays lol. But I'll take the 1st down yardage
When the checkdown goes for 11, take the checkdown all day.

Not sure who you’re thinking of, but Corey Moore was a 3rd rounder.-

I don't think Meyers would be a good use of resources and I think we can probably get someone that offers more value to us for less cost. But Meyers would at least be an upgrade. Just think there's some diminishing returns with him.
Does anyone in particular come to mind? -

Feels pretty safe to say that Shaq Thompson won't play this week. Getting Palmer back would be nice but I'm guessing he winds up as Questionable and doesn't play.

Multiple K injuries in one year. I’m not sure that’s happened to the Bills in my history as a fan.-

Oh, you just meant least cap space right now? Sure, no argument there. Sorry to have misunderstood. Usually saying worst cap situation takes into account the overall picture, not just today.
There’s no NFL coach or exec who would trade our cap situation for the Saints’.

Haven't read all the comments, but it seems that the gist of them is the Bills need some better receivers. I'd like the Bills to have better receivers, too, but I'm not sure that's the problem.
I'd suggest that Joe Brady and perhaps Sean McDermott are the problems. And I think there are some pretty simple statistics that demonstrate why:
In 4+ years in the league, playing on two lousy teams with lousy quarterbacks, Elijah Moore averaged 52 receptions for over 500 yards and 2 TDs over 17 games. He is way below that average with the Bills and a HOF quarterback. He's on pace for 15 receptions and 200 yards.
In his years in the league, playing his first seven on two lousy teams and with lousy quarterbacks, Curtis Samuel averaged 55 receptions for over 500 yards and four TDs over 17 games. He is way below that average with the Bills and a HOF quarterback. He's on pace for 10 receptions and 100 yards.
Somehow, coaches for the Jets and the Browns and the Panthers and Washingtons knew how to get the ball to these guys 600 yards per season, even though they didn't have Josh Allen throwing and they didn't have James Cook putting up 150 yards rushing.
Neither one of those guys is world-beater, but the production for both of them declined significantly as soon as they arrived in Buffalo and began playing for Brady and McDermott.
This is a good take. Especially since Moore has been more effective as an outside WR than in the slot in the NFL. You could include Palmer in this analysis as well, although with the caveat that he was on mediocre teams with a good QB. Still, his per-game numbers are abysmal so far, after being reliably a 700ish yard guy on his rookie deal.
To whom it may concern: I agree that too often, no one’s getting open. (Saw some of it in person this past week - every time I looked downfield during a scramble drill, there was nothing there.) I also agree that having better outside talent (Olave or whomever) would help. But I haven’t seen any plausible explanation of why these 600-700 yard WRs are turning into 200-300 yard WRs on the 2025 Bills.

Kickoff returns for TDs. You saw glimpses of speed and power. He was disappointing his first two years, then became one of the greatest WRs of Bills History.
If only we could have prime Moulds playing with prime Josh.
The greatest Bills WR playing with ***** QBs. Now we have the Bills greatest QB playing with ***** WRs.
Fair point with the kick returns! I was thinking WR specific and initially drew a blank. I still can’t think of anything impressive Moulds showed from scrimmage those first two years, but it was a while ago obviously.

I’ll be there! Look for the white guy in a Josh Allen jersey, you can’t miss me.

Please do not ever use Keon and Moulds in the same sentence. Moulds showed many signs of breaking out before his third year. Moulds and Lee Evan’s are the best Bills WR the past 30 years
What examples do you have in mind? Not trying to be a jerk, but that doesn’t line up with my recollection at all. -

See it is statements like this that frustrate me. Because last season that was absolutely not what the Bills did in Kansas City. They played heavy man coverage almost the entire first half, pressed at the line with their DBs and got shredded. It was actually only 2nd half when they went back to their fundamentals and played zone and kept the game in front of them that they managed to get a few stops. So was the coaching partly culpable for the defensive failures in that game? Yes. Was it because of too much "soft zone coverage" (a phrase posters here throw around so liberally as to actually pollute the meaning of it somewhat)? No.
To be fair to Babich, and we must, probably his best gameplan as the Bills DC was the regular season win vs Kansas City last year when he completely surprised them with a heavy man coverage plan and Reid and Mahomes couldn't adjust. I understand the thinking in the playoffs being "we had some success doing that, we will stick with it" but having given Andy and Patrick 2 months to work out an answer it wasn't a surprise when they figured it out pretty quick. They ran those man beating mesh routes and got Hollywood Brown and Worthy matched on defenders who couldn't live with them.
EDIT: I will try and find the numbers from that game but the Bills got killed in man and were pretty solid in zone. It isn't "the same thing over and over." They haven't gotten it done, that is the one consistent. And they have to find a way. But people talk as though the Bills are running the exact same defense now that they ran in the 2019 wildcard or the 2020 AFC Championship Game. And that isn't the case.
Re: the bolded: In general, I’ve been a bit disappointed with our ability to be ready for opponent adjustments. We’re fairly good at coming up with effective Plan A gameplans, but too often we seem to be shocked when the other team adjusts and Plan A stops working. Did this not come up when gameplanning? “How will they adjust to what we’re doing, and what should we do then?”-

Yea I'd make personal foul only negatable by another personal foul. Any other penalties offset. But personal fouls should stand.
I want yardage to be cumulative and cancel out. Meaning, if the offense commits holding and the defense was Offside, there’s a net 5 yard penalty on the offense. If it’s a face mask instead of Offside, net 5 yard penalty on the defense. Both Offside AND a face mask? Make it 10 yards total. -

And where has the QB Sweep been for oh idk 2 years? That play was money on 3rd/4th down/short and we never run it. Its almost like these coaches legitimately do not actually do their due diligence or are just plain stupid
We ran it once in the Ravens game, I think. I seem to remember calling it when I saw their formation, but that whole game is a blur at this point.
There was one play last night where I thought they were going to run it again - I think it was either the 4th down flip pass or maybe a goal line possession? I just remember that 1) I was wrong, and 2) the play they actually ran failed.

I just don't see Samuel being the traded WR in a move that would involve us sending one. When he's healthy (which to be fair, isn't often) he provides more and gets open more than Elijah Moore. So why would we move the better player and pay more to do it?
Moore wouldn't have been active this week had Samuel not gotten dinged. And for a speed guy, he just *cannot* get open to save his life. He's a much easier trade piece bc he's on a 1 year deal with a small contract.
In my eyes, you make a deal for Olave or Shaheed and you elevate Gabe Davis when he's ready and you move on from Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers - who are providing nothing.
Money. My assumption is that they’d need to offload Samuel’s contract in order to take back either contract. Moore is a lot cheaper and has no money committed beyond this year. Meanwhile, the Bills are cap-strapped now and will be next year as well.
I may be way off base, but I think Olave would be my goal if I was GM. Start going Rams “F them pics” style, at least a little bit. Would another Groot/Kincaid/Coleman/Hairston type move the needle next year? Probably not, and the odds of getting an instant stud at those spots is probably like… 5 percent? I think it’s worth it to instead spend it on a guy like Olave (or maybe someone without a massively concerning concussion history, but not sure how many might be available). Especially since you also get that guy for the rest of this year.

Really? They showed one on the broadcast. If the unofficial TV line was accurate, he was clearly offside. I stopped being mad at the refs the second I saw it. (Don’t worry, I got mad at them again later.)

Samuel and Moore alone aren't getting us Olave. I'd doubt anyone would take Samuel given the cost remaining on his deal being not worth what you're getting (which is why we're kind of stuck with him).
We could package Moore with Draft capital. But the Draft capital would be the meat and potatoes of the deal to get it done. Moore isn't getting you much of anything and Samuel would get you nothing. You'd essentially have to pay them more to take his contract off your hands.
I think in that scenario, you’d be looking at something like Samuel + a pick for Shaheed or Samuel + picks for Olave. And Samuel presumably has negative value, so the picks would have to be fairly substantial. Both guys are young enough to still be relevant after a rebuild, and both are popular enough to help keep fans coming to the games, and that’s something their ownership cares a ton about. We'd have to make them a serious offer.
I really don’t know if NOLA’s cap situation would permit either trade, but if it did, it’s a fairly plausible trade partner.

I mean, he is kinda built like a tweezer. On Hard Knocks, he looked pretty light for a safety, much less a linebacker. -

Titans HC was fired in week 5.
LOL. Yeah, suuuuuuper comparable here. That’s like on Seinfeld when George Costanza was trying to get Ted Danson money for writing Jerry’s pilot. Callahan is the Costanza of this analogy.
So that I’m contributing to the discussion: I’m not interested in this poll right now, but I’ll be lining up to respond to the same poll after the season ends. This feels like the first year where I might get on board the Fire McDermott train. Obviously that depends on how the year goes. At a minimum, we need to see real improvement - across the board - for me to stay on board with keeping McD on board. Right now, none of offense/defense/special teams is playing at a contender level, and the penalties are out of hand. There’s still time to right the ship, but we have to be honest that the ship is capsized.

In week 6??? No. But check back after the season.

This is really OT, but shouldn't it be "... Milano and DT TJ Sanders were..."?
Or is this correct in English?
You are right. This was a subject/verb error by Joe B. Since the subject (2 players) was plural, the verb should’ve also been plural.9 hours ago, ShakAttack said:If we aren't good enough to beat the Falcons, none of this matters, and I hate to say it, but it might be in our best interest to be in a position where we can draft and/or sign an actual difference maker on DEFENSE because we have been in the same damn boat since 2019-2020 and we know how that story ends every single time.
For a while it was Allen and Diggs
Now it's Allen and Cook (who I'd argue is better because Cook actually shows up in the playoffs)
But meanwhile, our defense has become worse. Somehow.
This defense has never had a DL that is capable of causing chaos in the post-season.
You think KC wins any of those Super Bowls without Chris Jones? MAYBE the first one, but DEFINITELY not the last two...
This is a WILD take. Intentionally tanking with the reigning MVP after a 4-0 start? Bravo!-

Edelman? Welker? Deion Branch? Troy Brown? They ALWAYS made sure to surround Brady with high end pass catchers. They also had Gronk and Hernandez. Brady’s top 2 pass catchers are first ballot HOFers. He also had Faulk, Lewis and White as pass catching backs.
Deion Branch????C’mon, man.

2025 Edition Trade Deadline Deals

Also, I just want to point out that the reporter said “a first and more”, not just a first. Sounds like the “and more” was probably like a high third or second or something. Given how low our picks are expected to be, I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that we’d have need to give our top 2 picks next year.
If so, would I still have done that? Maybe. It would be an overpay for sure, and I’ll never feel good about that. But overpaying for quality can still work out.
