Beane refuses to give Josh weapons - Coleman is not it. Was begging for McConkey when they took Coleman. 

I’ve given O benefit of the doubt.. late for meeting last week and he’s not engaged in passing game when Bills missing multiple receivers.. I have to admit huge miss by BB.. among a growing list of others 🤷🏻‍♂️

At what point just looking at D do the Bills have to reset strategy. Undersized bad tracking players aren’t it. But that doesn’t happen until McDermy is out …

 If he's salking around on a 12 win team perennially he's not winning super bowl  with any other team

 

The Kansas City Chiefs arent trading for a quarterback anytime soon

 

He's my favorite player he also has complete mental lapses for way too long of stretches . There's a complete difference between most talented player and most consistent player 

 

He literally doesn't like to run anymore when he has wide open lanes and would rather flick backhanded passes 

 

I'm just be honest and this is my favorite football player.. he's literally not perfect 

 

 Sean McDermott has one all pro on his roster.. plenty of coaches have fumbled better rosters

The Rams need a Stafford replacement, Steelers would be better than Buffalo, Seattle isn’t locked to Darnold for long, there’s Minnesota, etc.  Allen had plenty of places to succeed, this team is NOTHING without him.

I'll ask you too amigo. will heads roll after this game?

No.  Pegula's "loyalty" won't allow any major changes.  Too fearful of change.

Not saying mcD is amazing, im saying mahomes has had the best wr and best TE and one of the best DT in football on his team with a great offensive play caller and continously adding talent . What has josh allen got? Diggs? And a bunch of wr3s? And TE that gets hurt?

 

McD has gotten massive resources on defense.  My expectation is he's as good defensively as Reid is offensively.  It's not the case.

You just said players. And those teams of yesterday didn’t have a salary cap like this 

Yes, of course you need players. 

 

Yes, the salary cap is a huge factor.

 

Teams employ scouts to obtain players as you know . They have their " big boards" to help them out on draft day. It's usually a team effort in drafting the player in each round.

 

It's up to the coaches to put those players in proper schemes to win.

We needed wr speed and we got tall and slow with soso hands. We need cb's and safeties and our cb was light and now on ir. Our best safety is a back up on other teams. We have one decent LB but he gets injured...a lot. we spent draft picks and millions on contracts for old guys and still can't get to the qb. Our supposed defensive minded coach leads a team at the bottom of the league in defense. Complains that it's about the players never his Dick Jauron mentality. Beane is good at marketing but not about picking what we need, but picks the dudes that makes him smile and have great personalities. How's that working?

Two good drives on offense. 

both more than likely scripted.

I don't think any of those teams long-term are set up better than Buffalo lol

 

Not top to bottom

 

We're in a rock and a hard place of never being able to acquire Blue Chip talent because we always win 11 plus games 

 

So we literally.. our defensive captain is a third round pick that people were ready to run out of here after his rookie year 

 

That's the talent McDermott is working with

 

Not to mention only one true franchise quarterback has been traded in like the last decade in Matt Stafford and Josh Allen would command more

A team that had little talent outside of josh and cook, has a couple injuries and it makes you realize that josh is throwing to wr3s and practice squad players. You lose Kincaid and josh palmer (chargers wr3) and your offense is derailed and has ZERO seperation.

The only way this team wins is by basically not turning it over and getting timely take aways. All that expenditure on defense, and it is still a small, bend, don't break, prone to injuries, sieve against the run, embarrassment. The system seems tired and exposed. And Beane was very wrong about the WR room, which has no depth, and no number one. Josh is getting beat up now, too. There needs to be some easy buttons, and we don't have the talent to provide them.

He need to make a statement to place Mc D on the hot seat.  He won’t because it’s not his style but it needs to be done.  Bean needs to be part of it too.

Its the worst secondary with Benford

 

 I knew I was setting that comment up, but at least with him there's probably a debate. It's still a debate about worst in the league mind you...

[JP51]

People need to be fired at this point the lack of attention to WR, inability to draft difference makers on DL small undersized LB that can't shed blocks, the absolute shambles our DBs are and the massive overpaying for free agents that provide little more than sub par depth is evident. The absolute refusal to fire Babich is the fatal flaw You got 4-6 more years of JA clean it out and get the right people in here that will fire Babich and rebuild this team

Well it’s also up to the scouts to get it right.  The Bills are one of the absolute worst performers in the early rounds of the draft and that’s a fact.  I’d take Jerruh Jones in the first 2 rounds over these clowns.

I did an analysis in the offseason on what a draft like 5 years ago and after the first 15, was a total lottery of busts after that in the first round.

 

you can scoot your heart out but what today’s NFL is telling us is that luck plays the biggest part in getting great players after the first 15 picks

There is just a clear and apparent gap between Mahomes and Allen. We all may hate Mahomes but he is clearly a head above Allen. 

I agree, but so what? Allen is an awesome QB. I appreciate him and he's gonna lead us to the Superbowl in the very near future. Mahomes maybe the greatest QB ever. Be thankful for who we have. 

[Nitro]

I just detest the soft zone they played.  Easy throw and catch.  Each week you can see the other teams WR1 eat.  The lack of CBs hurts.   Tackling woes continue.  Watching this team blow assignments especially on defense.  Quick throws to the RBs would alleviate the pressure on Allen.  

[Comebackkid]

the bills had i think 5 drives in the second half.  the first one that was scripted and looked good.   then you see the break down in play calling.  

how many times does brady make the worst possible decisions on short yardage when its a must have.

 

I do wonder though, since i believe that Brady is relying mostly on his players to make plays for him that after last week his 

offensive game plan was to throw the ball to kincaid as much as possible.   Then Kincaid got injured and he had no clue what to do.

 

As soon as the offensive line starts getting blitz they look like a total crap show.

I totally agree with this. I'd be shocked if the did any before the end of the season

Stop with the excuses!  The Bills manage to find most of their talent in the 4th round and down.  Guys have been available that would have been stars, but the Bills passed on them for the duds we have.  The talent evaluators are missing horribly on the top part of the draft.  Even the year they had pick 10, they take Oliver and miss on multiple pro bowl Days who are all far superior.  They just don’t get the job done, period.  The Eagles are vastly more talented than the Bills, same draft area, the Chiefs pick after the Bills, still more talented, what’s the real deal?
