I’ve started watching the second half on tape delays instead of live Aside from them stopping the run better. The warts on this team are the same as they ever were. Can’t rush the qb. Can’t cover. Can’t stop good qbs. Go rewatch the games. If the bills get off the field it’s usually because the other team drops a pass or qb misses open receiver. kc game was the only complete game of the season.

100 a combination of intentional and honest human bias on part of the refs to keep game the game close - as a mandate by the nfl

Yea. That was :13 all over again for me. Only it was 3:00. And then the bills got ball back at 2:12….. which again. That was with peak Poyer and Hyde. That wasn’t good enough then. somehow we still have Poyer on the team. And cam Lewis. I would say safety is as big a disaster as wr. Ppl want to say “Poyer has steadied bishop” I don’t even know what that means tangibly. But they played rogers, mills , tua as of late so it “looks better.” It didn’t look better yesterday. Looked much as it ever has. If you don’t get a corner blitz w a superhero pic 6. And a fluky pin ball deflection INT….. like beane says can’t have it all. He crushed it with OL and a smattering of gems, Walker , hawes

Slot corner , backup slot corner , dime DB and free safety are a disaster. As we need to blitz now. Those players are getting picked on over and over and can’t hold up in coverage. What’s worse? They can’t tackle anymore.

This is obvious. So beane will not do it. he has whatever the end of this year ends up being. has next year then his 5th year option year at 8+ M. He will be 28 his next contract he’ll be 29. just can’t do it. No way. Do not extend him. His was drafted to be be Kelce like. And he’s never going to be Kelce with this qb and offensive system.

Morris doesn’t play for the bills anymore? Do you mean Gilliam the fullback ?

Or god forbid. We line up Keon in slot and let him try and eat over the middle for JFC sake

Again. How does one injure their foot so severely during a WALKTHROUGH (Wednesday practice) that they can’t practice at all Thursday. is Ed Oliver’s horse allowed in the showers or something ?

Well I guarantee the bills are going to run the same 3 running plays and try and play it safe with ground and pound. Especially w WR 1 and TE 1 not evening being able to complete a walk through fully. Still. I’m getting to the point where there’s no hope for a gameplan coming from McBrady to throw it / air raid …… McD wants to minimize his “hurt D” …. Just feeels like the same script over and over again. But worse

so let me get this straight. He has been out with a hamstring. Hasn’t played. Hasn’t really practiced. And somehow with today’s walkthrough he has a knee AND hamstring listed. What is with the injury reports! This year has been very weird and suspicious. I love Sal trying to explain it away with nonsense

Their LBers are horrific. Not sure they’re getting better

Can we just harvest slay for parts? Oliver gets a biceps , bosa a hammy, hoecht an achilles?

I like most of what you said. Beane keeps assuming player performance trajectories will keep improving or stay the same. They don’t. Most of these players prime years are 3-6 years depending on positions. Done a poor job of replenishing wr, DT (before this last draft- it was just d Carter in 2 years) and LB in the draft. And to that end. He’s trading up way too much. We’re losing a lot of mid round picks because he thinks he MUST have this or that player. Hasn’t worked out.

I don’t understand Palmer being DNP. It was a walkthrough … he can’t even walk ?

I blame Brady for his injuries. Offense pass game stinks. Our route spacing. Timing. Variety. Scheme. Attention to detail. Stinks. We have him in these heavy sets all the time. He’s actually a better blocker than I thot. But he can only really pick off DBs. Josh is scrambling around all the time. Kincaid having to work extra hard to get open while getting mugged in the middle of the field all the time. last year Allen was pretty inaccurate throwing to Kincaid (it’s backed up w #s) and his knee / PCL injury at Texans last year was bc of Allen throwing a bad throw
