I kept saying we did not need to take an undersized DT in Oliver that year. Like 98% of this board would freak out and was demanding we take Oliver. Almost everyone here wanted Oliver.

Believing he’s the same guy that put up 1700 yards was your first mistake. He just isn’t ever going to be that guy again.

Exaclty. This Sean Peyton nonsense can’t stop soon enough. We are NOT giving up a first round pick for a HC, never gonna happen. And Peyton struggled to even make playoffs a lot of years with Drew Brees slinging for tons of yards. He is overrated and giving up a first round pick to the saints to sign him is insane

This team stopped having fun playing football. Too much heavy stuff lingering over them.

I honestly don’t know how to simplify this further for you. Not being rude, but I have clearly stated something and you keep turning it into something else. I did NOT say the Bengals gained an advantage, as in bad weather boosts them. I have like 5 times now very specifically stated the Bills are at a disadvantage in bad weather because they are not built well for bad weather conditions. Our offense is an air it out offense that can’t run the ball. Our defense plays off the ball zone and in bad weather it makes it even harder to get up in receivers allowing them to be wide open and exploited all day. Our DL depends on our secondary to buy them time to get home on the QB, and they can’t in bad weather when the secondary is giving up so much space to targets. Bottom line: We are not built for bad weather and teams like Cincy and KC are plenty capable of playing in bad weather. We see a bigger drop in our optimal play in bad weather than they have.

What? Lol come on, go rewatch the game. Yeah, I don’t know how that isn’t more clear to some. The drop off in play on both sides of the ball is more significant for us than our opponents in bad weather. The way this team is built, it’s hurting us more than it’s helping us.

My point is pretty clear. This team is at a DISADVANTAGE on both sides of the ball in bad weather. I didn’t say at home, I said in bad weather. We are built soft like a dome team. We do not have any kind of “advantage” in bad weather, regardless where the game is played when facing these other top teams.

Not against the ones we see in playoffs

Careful Gunner, you’re gonna give some folks around here a stroke if you suggest any investment into a weak secondary. I agree with most this, but something has got to change. Bring in a new DC and let them bring a new defense. McD is going no where, but this will be his last shot next season before he is on the chopping block. Something has to be done, this team is built like a dome team on both sides of the ball. We are the Vikings of the AFC right now. We have to make changes, we won’t have as much talent on this team next year because we can’t keep everyone and can’t spend much in free agency. Running it back with lesser personnel isn’t going to get us past Cincy and KC. And if I’m not mistaken, I think Cincy had a ton of cap space this year. Send a message. Make changes at DC and to the system and replace Dorsey. Keep him as the QB coach if he wants, but we need some more creative and that can build a run game to help Josh. I realize that none of that is probably gonna happen. But it’s what we should do.

Worst assessment I’ve read all year. Sorry, just is.

I told you all year…we do NOT have any kind of advantage in bad weather games, it’s all make believe. Also said both Mahomes and Burrow were fully capable of playing well in bad weather. Everyone argued. But here it is once again…soft finesse football on both sides of the ball. I don’t ever want to hear we have some sort of advantage in bad weather, it’s a myth.

This.

Probably, doesn’t make me wrong though.

WE ARE NOT TRADING A FIRST ROUND PICK TO SIGN A HEAD COACH. We are cap strapped and desperately need our picks to rebuild the OL, WR group, RB and maybe replace guys like Poyer and Edmunds if they leave. END THREAD.

Why does Frazier need to keep on keeping his job after the defense fails in the playoffs? It’s been every single year. How many times do we need to see his defense not work in playoff football before we try something new?

Sean Payton is over rated. No thanks, not any interest in trading a first round pick to bring in an over rated HC who struggled to even make the playoffs half of Brees career in NO.

I recognize Frazier garners respect as a top tier DC and even possible HC candidate. And in a lot ways it’s deserved. But, I’m over his defense. I’ve been over it since last year, he then started to win me back holding together the D through so many injuries. But last week and this week showed his defense is a liability come playoff time, just like it’s always been in every playoff exit we have had. More importantly, his entire defensive scheme is as a DISADVANTAGE in bad weather. Offense already has an advantage in bad weather because they know where they are going on each play. Defenders have to play off a little more in bad weather, and that just completely disrupts our defensive scheme and gives opponents wide open targets to just pick apart Fraziers D. They won’t fire McD after what this team went through this year, but I hop we make a change at DC. NOTE: Also hope we see Dorsey leave so we can get a more seasoned and creative OC in here. No way they fire him, but hope he gets the Carolina job. Sadly I doubt either gets a HC job and doubt either gets fired.

NINERS for my wife.

Yeah that’s real bulletin board material for us

Bahahahaha best line of the week

Apparently there have been a number of things that have given Cincy some extra motivation, such as the 5 point underdog betting line. But now, it sounds like they are using the fact that the NFL is selling tickets already to the Atlanta AFCCG when that can only happen if both Bills and KC win. Seems like Bengals are coming in trying to use anything to get a good size chip on their shoulder. Stupid part about this is you can buy tickets to any teams potential championship game that’s still in the playoffs lol.

I have in multiple other posts.

What argument? I didn’t make an argument, I shared the perspective from Joe Burrows side of view and why it’s a non story he doesn’t feel like an underdog in his view.

I think if Bills win the SB, the odds increase that Poyer will take the best offer in FA and max out his earnings with a SB Championship already under his belt. If we fall short, I can see him being more motivated to stay someplace he loves and believes he can win a ring in the next 2 years to the point he could consider a home town discount. On the flip side, I also think Beane will be less inclined to pay him higher amounts if we win the SB. If we get the SB monkey off our backs by winning it, I think Beane focuses more on long term decisions and resists investing higher amounts in older players. But if Bills fall short, the SB or bust pressure will only be higher next year and I think making sure he has guys playing at a high level now (versus young guys who need to develop or lesser players) will carry a higher priority. In other words, whether or not the Bills win the SB this year I think will play a significant role in some of these decisions from both the players perspectives and Beane's perspective.

I don't think you have enough choices for answers, the two provided seem to only cover one point of you view really. My more detailed answer is: No, it will not change, because I already see him as the GOAT and respect that he is the GOAT, and will continue to see him as the GOAT. I am not a fan of Brady, but I am a fan of football and fully capable of recognizing greatness in players even when they play on teams I hate. I actually found Brady more likeable when he was a Buc than when he was a Patriot. He seemed to have more fun...for example, I thought his banter with Josh Allen ahead of the golf showdown with Mahomes and Rodgers was actually quite funny.
