Doyle is depth. Bates and Brown are currently serviceable at best. Morse could be done with another bad concussion. If Beane doesn't address the OL as priority #1 then I don't know what they expect Josh Allen to do. Bills lost today's game because Burrow had time to throw, and Josh didn't. I will add their OC was much better than Dorsey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that OL play was a factor, but certainly not the only thing that caused the loss. We were out-coached and out-played on both sides of the ball - QB included. I like continuity with the depth if they’re cheap. Morse’s successor should’ve been drafted already IMO so I really hope it happens this year. I would be happy to see an OG and a RT too. I think starters at LG and RT need to be upgraded and that eventual starting C needs added. Edited January 22, 2023 by BarleyNY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I didn't like the pick when they got him so he's always had more of an uphill climb towards impressing me personally. Objectively though, I don't think anyone can sincerely say he's been consistent enough to earn a big contract. I'd prioritise keeping the two LBs together and getting younger stars at safety, which may require another big FA find to pair with Hyde.

Gunsgoodtime Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) We are losing in the draft Imo. Outside of Allen, this staff may be very well fired to this point based on drafting and what this team looks like without him.

stlbills13 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Poyer is playing hurt and he means a lot to Buffalo but he is not going to be worth the cost to bring him back especially if they get a new defensive scheme/coordinator.

My opinion (which doesn't mean squat but to me) is both sides game plans are too rigid and do not adjust enough for the opposition. Nothing can sway my opinion that the best way to right this ship is to give Josh Allen more time in the pocket and a game plan that puts the opposing defenses on their heels.

BBills_88 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The coaches saw they did not have a good enough pass rush since MILLER went down.

That’s ridiculous. Way too many deep shots today (just like last week) and not enough taking what the defenses are giving us. And not nearly enough rushing. As for the defense, McDermott bears the blame as much as Frazier. He might not be calling the plays, but it’s his baby and his fingerprints are all over the personnel and scheme. The Bills went with a defensive HC, which means we have to deal with our successful OCs turning over. The trade off has to be a stellar defense.

What was their game plan? Either it was to pass 80% of the time or they planned a more balanced attack and abandoned that. And what was with the repeated downfield passes like last week? I sure hope that wasn’t the game plan. Either Dorsey is game planning way too much of that or he isn’t reigning in Josh when he gets in that mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just watched the post-game locker room interview with Edmunds. While I have to admit that I have no idea whether he is a quality player (opinions are all over the place), I was very impressed with how much he cares about the team, the organization and the city. Puts himself and individual goals second, which is a bit of rarity these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam727 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Big Turk said: The salary cap isn't real and they could easily free up space with some restructures They can free up space by restructuring Allen. Not a whole lot of other players look like they would make much sense and also free up a lot of space. They could free up space by restructuring Tre White if you've seen enough of him off of his ACL that you're willing to make him uncuttable/untradable until his contract runs out in three years at an annual salary of $17mil. Same with Von Miller coming off of his ACL if you're willing to guarantee him $20-$30mil per year until he's just about 40. But I'd prefer the Bills lose a player or two now than risk screwing up their salary cap that badly for the next 3-5 years. I really wanted to see Poyer retire a Bill, but after today I think I'd let Poyer go and try to trade Oliver. Make next year a partial rebuilding year on defense & fix the cap. IMO that would set us up better for the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also put some more weight on Allen this year since he signed his extension. Once you sign on the dotted line to be the man, you have lose a lot of opportunity to upgrade your supporting cast with the expectation you carry a heavier load. This was a cap clearing year for KC. The fact that they hit on all 10 or 11 draft picks will be an issue for the entire league going forward. Cincinnati actually has some benefit in Burrows ACL injury. It allowed them to go out and get Chase. All that said.
