The Bills are going to have to do a reboot at some point. The question is do they try and clean the cap in one year and take the hit or do they try and do it piece by piece and make it take longer?

You mean the one who dropped a 65 yard bomb that Allen basically placed in his hands?

Gonna be plenty of roster churn, there always is.

People play too much Madden and honestly think it's like real life. That's the issue.

He will put up another 1000 yard+ season next year here. Who do you plan on replacing him with? Signing Mike Evans to a $25 million dollar a year contract?

At this point, crashing out in the divisional round when your QB played exceptionally well again, not unlike the last time we played the Chiefs in the divisional round is getting to be really frustrating. The games are razor thin and being lost in the margins, but I am not exactly sure what they can do to correct it. The teams are so evenly matched the points for/points against are almost identical over the last 6-7 meetings. Bills have to figure out a way to make one more play than the Chiefs. They do it in the regular season pretty routinely, can't seem to do it in the playoffs.

We need to get him someone who doesn't shrink in the moment like Diggs has been doing. He needs more weapons. One that make it impossible to shut down everyone. Kincaid is trending towards being one of them. They need another WR to pair with Diggs and Shakir who can cause havoc and play the John Brown role. That's when the offense was at it's best...when it could threaten you vertically and you had to respect it...that opened up so much stuff underneath and even those tunnel screens with DBs backed off. They better address it in the draft this year or Beane will be neglecting the major issue for the 3rd straight year.

Fvck no. What the hell is a 2nd round pick going to do for us? Take on 31 million in dead cap for a 2nd? You must have lost your mind.

The games are being won and lost in the margins between the teams. Seems we know how to have the margins in the regular season but Reid and the Chiefs know how to have them when it counts the most. Not sure what it is or even if it's a single thing. Literally a play here or there could have been the difference. The teams are so evenly matched the points for/points against numbers are almost identical over the last several meetings.

More like the Chargers under Rivers and LT. Comparisons are almost identical across the board over the past 4 seasons right down to record, points per game, points allowed per game, winning 4 divisions titles, making 1 AFCCG, losing in the divisional round repeatedly, etc... Someone put out a tweet, I reposted in another thread but can't locate it. Comparison are almost identical. The Dolphins in the 90s almost never won the division

Diggs seemed pretty open on that deep ball he dropped... Lions seem to have no issues scheming players open.

You would still need to sign a new kicker on top of that.

While that stadium sits on an old Native American burial ground, nothing is going to change. Luckily In a few years the stadium will move and that hopefully will end this chapter and the curse.

Every kicker has a down season. Pretty much across the board. That's the nature of the NFL kicking in weather and only getting few attempts that cause every miss to be a large percentage. Plenty of dome kickers have the same issue. What's their excuse? Yes it's possible. I kicked for a few years in 2 leagues...flag and touch football. While I am no expert I played soccer for 25+ years growing up and kicked footballs 4-5 time a week when the weather was nice going to the high school nearby for 6-7 months starting in March during that time. You definitely can hook the ball depending on where your foot makes contact with it, no different than a soccer ball, although kicking the two are completely different. Took me a few days to not consistently kick the football into the ground when I first started as you have a different target on the football than the soccer ball typically. However in this case, I don't think the ball was hooked, I just think he didn't push the ball far enough left. Donn Paul posted the winds had picked up to 21 mph at 9pm which is plenty strong to push longer kicks like that.

We just signed him to an extension

Why is Diggs limited to 10 catches on 24 targets for 63!!! Yards and 0 TDs in the last 3 elimination games for the Bills? 3.3 catches a game and 21 yards isn't going to get it done. Inexcusable performances from a #1 WR when we need him most.

You don't need to agree, you simply are being emotional and not basing it off facts. Bass is squarely in the middle of "good" kickers over the last 3 years and is 3rd in XP percentage over that time. The "clutch" kicker Butker is a few percentage points better than him, which is statistcailly meaningless really with how few attempts they get each year. You don't create a huge dead cap space to get a marginal, if any, upgrade. That makes zero sense and only someone who is basing their decision on emption rather than logic would do that. Bass was also 9/9 before that kick in those situations. You don't get rid of a guy who misses his first kick after making the other 9. Guess 2am counts for Overreaction Monday.

Considering in general, kicker consistency is the widest variable in the NFL from one year to the next outside of outliers like Justin Tucker, you most likely would be chasing your tail. Kicking consistency from one year to the next outside of a very select few like Justin Tucker is the widest variable in the NFL in terms of statistics. To the point the argument was made that kickoff distance/touchbacks are a more important determinating factor when they did the study than FG percentage since it's up and down and effected by a lot of other variables.

Sorry, this isn't Madden franchise mode. I know you think it's realistic when you do whatever you want in the game and think real life works the same way, but sorry to say you are sadly mistaken.

I'm not sure what else they can do...it's not like the players are getting injuries like pulls, etc that are caused by poor training staff things. In general, the Bills aren't that injured in terms of Man Games Lost, it just seems to happen in waves to them where the same position keeps taking hits one after another in games, week after week leaving them playing their 4th/5th string options at times for chunks of the season. Injuries are just luck a lot of times. The Bills just seem to not have much of it at all the last two years at least when it comes to starters. In 2019 and 2020 they had relatively few injuries.

He isn't going anywhere. You don't create holes to fill AND take huge dead cap hits when you already have to work the cap since you are $40 million over it next year to begin with.

Easy. The new stadium isn't built on an old Native American Burial Ground. Curse will be lifted once the stadium is demolished.

Can you name a single coach that is going to take 4th/5th string players at LB and at DB along with 2 of the players playing well below 100% clearly and "scheme" something up that would allow them to not get smoked? Because I don't really know of one off the top of my head. Especially when he has only a single game to try and get them playing together and a new "QB" of the defense making adjustments on the field? Respectfully, not even Belichick is making that D look good.

Iritated we didn't beat the Chiefs, but who are we kidding...this D would have gotten carved up like Swiss Cheese against the Ravens next week anyway with the injuries and guys playing well under 100%. Wouldn't be surprised if Dodson, Douglas and Benford all need surgery in the offseason. Douglas looked about as bad as you could possibly look in this game. Clearly was playing at maybe 75% max. Was absolutely terrible. Should have been benched for Elam. He was killing us out there.

Douglas shouldn't have been playing. He had his worst game as a Bills by far and clearly was a shell of himself. Should have gotten benched in the 2nd half for Elam. Bills were up against it versus any competant offense and for as not so great at the Chiefs were on offense this year, being down that much on D against someone as creative as Reid and Mahomes that could exploit it over and over again was not ideal.
