Breaking news....there are no "easy" NFL games, just in case today didn't ring a bell.

Agreed. We beat the (fully healthy) ravens and chiefs, and lost to the falcons and dolphins. I don’t worry about how easy the opponent is, if the bills are healthy enough and turn up ready to play they win most of the time or come damned near close to it. They’ve had these brain fart games 2-3 times a season in 2023 and 2021, seems to happen every couple of years for some reason, I suspect when the team is decimated with injuries like this year (I remember 2023 they were, can’t remember 2021)

Our lows are much lower this season. We just aren’t very good. We can’t use injuries as excuses every single season. It is what it is. Maybe an 11 win team ceiling. Beane’s had plenty of drafts to get some talent in here but he’s a master of mediocrity on draft day. SB or out da door they go.

 

McD’s arrogance with game plans and resting players that aren’t seriously injured against certain opponents will probably be the end of him.

Are the Chiefs really this bad that they lost to the Bills?

Spoiled by what, winning divisions. That’s like kissing your sister. The Jets, Dolphins and NE since Brady are opponents twice . Are you satisfied with that having the best QB/RB tandem in football? Watch the Rams and tell me you’re satisfied with the way the Bills roster looks and their offense. Our front office can’t pick players and our coaches don’t improve the players on the field. Even our strength and conditioning coaches stink. Everyone is injured.

lol, you act as if this team is a charity case and not a “professional” team that’s run to make money by showing up with a product that consumers want support. 
 

This is the NFL, it’s romantic to think of it as a small town, feel good story but it’s not in the business of love and hugs.

Yes, our fully stocked AFC East champs trophy case is spoiling us rotten.

Actually...he drafted and brought in good players (with the exception of WR) but they're all on IR.

 

In addition to coordinators, they seriously need to look at their training staff.

Every team has bad weeks and tough stretches.  Every good team can lose to a bad team.  But you can tell that this season there is something off with this team.

This is the 1st time since 2019 that I can’t see the Bills winning the Super Bowl. Every other year, I thought that they COULD if things went well. They can beat anyone on any given day but that have a few major holes that I don’t believe they can cover for 3 or 4 playoff games. 
 

It is sad too because they are currently $3m or $4m over the cap next year. They pretty much have to part ways with Milano, Knox, Taron and Daquan Jones. I’d probably clean house but don’t think that they will. I suspect Beane is gone, Babich is gone and Brady takes a HC job. They have struggled to draft well early and lack elite talent because of it. It’s going to be tough to take the necessary steps needed with what they have to work with. This year has been such a disappointment. They may still win the division and a playoff game or 2 but they are too flawed to be a real contender.

They need to give up this year, I'd blow the whole thing up and start over. But that's me, reactionary.

In 2017, ending the a Playoff Drought was a victory. In 2020, winning the division and winning a playoff game was a victory. Even last year, making it to the AFC Championship was a victory.

 

But after all of the Division wins, all of the Playoff wins - winning the Division and even making it to the Championship is no longer a victory.

 

That's the floor. Anything less than an AFC Championship is a disappointment. Not only are we looking at a roster where that seems *incredibly* unlikely - we're 2.5 games below the Patriots on the Division and we're dropping to teams like the friggin' Falcons and Dolphins. That's a major regression. 

 

Being unhappy about that isn't being "spoiled". The year is 2025. 2018 expectations no longer apply.

Get over yourself. Some of us have been waiting over fifty years for a Super Bowl victory.

The Josh Allen window is finite, and the current regime is wasting it.

Honestly, it’s not that reactionary. We’ve run it back year after year with the same results. It’s bold but not unprecedented. There are a handful of teams in recent history that replaced successful coaches because they couldn’t win a championship. The results have largely been positive.

[DuckyBoys]

Insanity to do the same thing over and over  Yet here we are complaining about the defense falling apart w injuries when once again we trot out a tiny defense.  When do we stop investing into a platoon of mediocre d linemen  Another year of below avg pass catchers for a generational talent  Its bad when I'm fondly looking back at John Brown and Cole Beasley.  At least we finally have a db who can run  Guess its progress

I don't think it's bad as you say. We're a coaching staff and one legit WR away from being a Super Bowl contender. There are some obvious cuts to make next offseason that will get our cap in decent shape. Not going to be easy as can be for the next guys in charge but they start out with Allen and a solid foundation on both sides of the ball.
