How quickly people forget that Tremaine was under constant criticism here for making tackles well beyond the line and not be physically dominant.  There was almost no disagreement in this forum at the time that the Bills should have given him the contract Chicago did.  Move on.  

 

I don't think that's entirely my point...  He was often too criticized here because he was not Ray Lewis 

 

But seeing the contracts that beane has been willing to give out.. like Benford at 72 million for 4 years 

 

It makes you think why even trade-up and take a 20-year-old middle linebacker .. actually made the pro bowl .. just to let him walk ... Isn't that the reason you trade up to get a guy?

 

No trade.. just a compensation pick

 

Gregg r got 80 million dollars for 4 years... Edmunds was a captain and a pro bowler.. who was still getting better.. and he was healthy 

 

I certainly never said Tremaine sucked... We were willing to let him go because we thought our money would get spent wisely .. big baller Beane was his name here

 

It in fact has not.. so again this is Brandon Beane

 

He has no idea when to give out contracts.. which is why we're not as dominant as we could be 

 

I'm just starting to lose some faith in Brandon Beane

he was bad during his time here. He was bad at least the first season of the bears. I stopped paying attention after that. If he is doing good now then good for him, but that wasn’t the player we had. We had a lanky lb that watched everything go by him in the pass game and a guy that couldn’t get off blocks in the run game. When he “made” tackles it was usually jumping on the guy after another defender already made the tackle.

This was a big win.  Bigger than most of us think, imo.

 

We overcame a ton of mistakes, and showed so much resiliency. I've been hoping that we could have one of our usual November/December runs, and I feel so confident about that now. I think we're gonna roll.

Josh is better with a mix of the occasional deep ball, passing to RB’s, slants, calling his number  & and running the ball.  
 

The overly reliant on the run or pass exclusively is the kiss of death.  If we can occasionally mix the deep ball, and mid-game to the RB’s we’re golden.  Then you watch Cook take over and run over a gassed and off-balance  defense.

You are not wrong about the some of the head-scratching contracts Beane has handed out.

More than a few given way early for his preferred picks and trades that have landed us with too much dead cap and not enough production.

Beat Houston and we are looking good.

I hope the takeaway from that, for the coaches at least, was that the plan to have a balanced, run-first offense was dumb and that we can offset our crappy defense by just letting Allen kick ass every game.

This 4 day stretch were make or break for this season. If we lost today and then let down in Houston, we probably would have spiraled and fallen out of the playoffs. Now get ready to go play a very physical team on a short week. That game is huge. Get the W in Houston and you have a week and a half to get healthy and regroup.

[Scott7975]

You know who is actually having an awful game? Mahomie and Lamar

[BillsFan130]

I think some of us got to stop being so hard on Josh lol.

 

Just look at Mahomes and Lamar today... Elite QBs miss a lot of passes and we got to stop expecting Josh to be perfect every play

 

 

[May Day 10]

Offense looked somewhat potent again and they varied away from tecmo Joe brady's 4 plays.  Was great to see.

Guys we need to chill with the biting terrible negativity in early game. It goes too far .

 

I was critical, but it's focused and based on clear x' s and o' s.  That's fine and understandable. 

 

I stand by my critique of our D but glad we pulled together. 

 

But we just scored 44 ....

 

 

[Nihilarian]

We have been missing our "gunslinger" since the fourth quarter of that first game. He is back!

Lamar Jackson is not even on the same planet as the actual good QBs. I have never seen a guy bubble wrapped more by the media. He’s been completely immune to criticism from day 1. The guy is a great runner. He’s not even close to the top end QBs

[Success]

I'll ride w/ Allen until the end.  I love his spirit, his fire.

 

We're so fortunate.  For Bills fans of a certain age, we've had both Kelly & Allen in our lifetimes.  We haven't gotten the title, but it's been a fun ride regardless being able to watch these greats, just being great.

 

And we WILL get that title w/ Allen.

That was an important game, emotions were high.

Eh relax, losing 3 of 5 to garbage teams

has that effect. It all gets sorted out!

There are some high level defenses coming up beginning on Thursday. It is that time of the year to play BB football. Tampa came ready to play today and I was pleased that the Bills showed some toughness instead of rolling over. There was a time in the game where it did not look like we were willing to match their physicality.

He needed that to get his mojo back. Big-time.

He just threw an int in the red zone.
