These games happen, especially in division. Raiders beat KC late last season. Still the defense, even when healthy, isn’t good enough to go far in the playoffs.

I acknowledge that the D is missing a lot of important players, but even if some of the injured return, this defense is just not good enough to go far in the playoffs. Special teams are nearly as bad.

I don’t think McDermott will lose a second of sleep worrying about whether he wins the award, but he has proven capable of having a consistently good team. This team has so far surpassed most expectations coming into the season and they have proven themselves able to overcome a number of significant injuries. The culture is real and it’s a winning culture. He isn’t perfect, but no coach is.

I wasn’t really lamenting that the Bills didn’t take him and I wasn’t arguing that Coleman hasn’t shown nice flashes. I only meant to tip my hat to a rookie who is playing really well.

I know that McConkey is more of a slot receiver when the Bills were looking for a bigger boundary WR, but man McConkey is playing well. 9 for 117 in just today’s game. Watching his route running in the pre-draft process had me mesmerized by his cutting ability. I’ve been wrong on draft prospects plenty, so I’m not claiming to be some draft genius, but I really liked him.

That’s right. Real time I thought he did, but replay shows he didn’t.

This team should never return a kickoff.

Frigging awful.

A step-back year. I understand that injuries are a big problem on both offense and defense, but even at full-strength, this is not a serious Super Bowl contending team. Defense is too soft against the run and is not a strong pass rush team. On offense, there is not enough fire power, particularly at WR. I will admit that I was not a fan of the Coleman pick, but he was at least showing some signs of life before injury. Let’s see how they look through the upcoming very tough stretch.

I would go 2 1sts for Myles Garrett as long as you know you can sign him when his first deal is done. Garrett across from Rousseau would be fantastic.

This is why I don’t like giving up a 3rd round pick for a rental wr. This team is not a Super Bowl contender this year.

Really awful

This is going poorly and the Bills’ offense is completely impotent. Do they have anyone who can get open on a pass route?

Not a trade I would have made. I don’t like that Cooper is 30 and will be a free agent in the offseason. I do understand that things have gone better than the team might have expected so far and they have a legitimate shot at the division again, but Cooper does not make this team a Super Bowl contender this year and I don’t like the rental idea costing a 3rd for a chance just to win the AFC East. Other than Shakir, the remaining WRs are not good. Samuel might be better if he could get healthy and maybe Coleman will improve, but right now neither is contributing much.

I would hope not.
