Would you rather have Maye as the Bills QB or Allen right now?

Drake Maye. Better passer. Younger, more upside.

 

Much cheaper, too

It is UTTERLY pointless to have a Josh Allen at QB to run an offense that could be managed as effectively by Mac Jones.

 

That's the gospel truth.

Ok. But that’s a different point entirely. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Making the playoffs is going to be an accomplishment now. This division is over. Got to find a way to even get in now

[QLBillsFan]

Let’s not give BB or McD a pass.. it’s time to reset while Josh still has 3-5 peak years remaining. The Pats are winning the AFC East.. time for new GM/Coach!!!!

Maye and Vrabel looks to be the better choice at this point.  McDermott is that bad

Rather have Josh McDaniel who knows what to do with him…

As much as we need good receivers,

 

we need a much better defense. We're dead last at stopping the run. Do y'all realize how long it takes to build up a good quality defense? That takes years, which Beane had time to do it after 13 seconds.

 

He failed to get quality younger replacements for

Poyer

Milano

Von Miller

Tre White

DeMar Hamlin

Rapp

 

That's a lot of defensive players to replace, which Beane had time to do. Beane is bloody awful at evaluating defensive college players.

 

More defensive investment for this franchise is a lot like giving a coke user another 8 ball.

Reset should have been done at minimum 2 years ago

And just think, we have no cap money for next season, just like every year. It’s going to be more of the same patch work with no splashes because our GM cannot manage a salary cap. He can’t build a WR room or a healthy defense to save his life either

Two rebuilding teams who embarrassed us with an MVP, 1 team that did not make the same mistakes but looked like they tried to lose it today... 

 

The Chiefs win with the same talent...

Somehow HCs take on the blame for lack of talent building?

 

I'd say go look at the team we lost to today--- they fired their GM.  I think we are on the same path after the season.

 

Two coaches deserve to go and thats Babich and Brady.   McD made poor decisions but thats also on others involved.

I don’t disagree with this but you said Allen was “straight trash”. Lets just read people

We were all tricked into everyone eats while Diggs is killing it in New England 

Yep. This team wants to feed us Bullish!t and a lot of us ate it up and the ones who didn't were reminded of how stupid they were we were winning. 
we've got Josh. We don't need talents around him. 
- we've got a good goalie we don't need better players in front of him. 
- We've got a great pitcher. We don't need a good dugout.

Our D Cord HC should know how to stop opposing teams running game. 

[Buffalo Ballin]

McD should be fired after this season. No more. No mas.

[TFBillsfan]

So many things that have led up to this. We’re 6-3 but looking squarely in the face at a WC spot at best. Two losses to ATL and Miami are pathetic and they had no business losing. Two games where the Bills came out flat, zero emotion and atrocious play calling. 
 

1. Poor draft picks are biting us in the ass! 

2. McDermott and Beane roster building

3. Ignoring the WR room. Outside of Shakir, they have nothing! Thinking they can get their with JAG’s!

4. Desiring a ground control slow as molasses time consuming offense over an uptempo when you have Josh in his prime.

5. Coaching that fails time and time again 

6. Outside of Allen and Cook you have no impactful players. Sure some are solid but look at the contenders and you can rattle off 5-6 players. 
7. Failure to stop the run. It’s ridiculous for McDermott to be a defensive coach and they get pounded every season. 

8. Zero emotional leaders on O or D! 

I’m really not sure how they fix it but McDermott and Beane should have fire under their ass! Miss the playoffs and BOTH should be shown the door.

WHY? Why limp in only to get the doors blown off, only to get the "aw shucks, injuries" excuses and "let's run it back"

Yup. But some feels like we win if Allen be Allen, gotta say I disagree.

 

Well... I don't think we have an offense that is built that way anyway anymore... And that's part of the problem when you do get down and even get unlucky with turnovers... You can't come back...

Tre White was not brought in to start, Hairston was. Last I checked Bosa better than injured Miller been. Rapp was a strength last year, Bishop seems to be a good young Safety.

Remember what happened with Cincinnati Bengals right now?

 

They have 2 number one receivers and not sniffing the playoffs. They pretty much have to restart the franchise.

Their defense is bloody awful, too.
