I could see the bills doing this trade Actually. Beane won't give up a first though and so that's what the jets would want

Allen hits more throws Daboll looks a better OC.

With a top notch coach aswell. I knew this game would be tough for the bills and was concerned about a 5-1 record team getting complacent/ not 'having urgency'. The bills lose against the good coaches and QBs, hopefully that changes at some point this season. Against the ravens would be a good win.

Culture - Phillie played well for a team who are slagging each other off/ calling each other out.

Will beane/McDermott get to survive another QB draft? If there is doubt around Allen at the end of the season In next year's draft is the best thing they can do draft a WR round 1, QB round 2 and trade Barkley? Thing is I can't see it happening

I thought EXACTLY the same thing. Different vibe from him for sure.

I would hate a dome.

I agree with this.

Yeah this is weird. We would probably all agree that those other 4 teams are coached badly.

Man!!! Don't! ?

After the manner of a loss. It was a disappointing performance on offence and defence.

'You don't know anything except what the record says.. which is 5-2.' Disagree that we 'dont know anything except what the record says'. From yesterday's game we know they are a 5-1 team not as good as a 3-4 team! Whilst it IS a record which suggests a 'good' team, the eagles were 3-4 and outplayed us by quite alot remember. Maybe their games were tougher? In using the record to tell how good the team is, after being beat by a 3-4 team it is understandable to factor in who they played and who they have beaten etc. The games the bills won were close, you are right that the two losses were against two recent Superbowl teams/ coaches. The record will be the main thing that matters but that will be at the end of the season, not now.

I'm more interested to see MCDs postgame speech to the team after this loss rather than the wins it's usually posted after. Wonder what he said.

Yeah. I feel like the cowboys, ravens and Steelers games are tests. Steelers record isn't great but would still be a good win away.

5-2 record is great but we've been really poor since the bye. That falls on coaching. Although there has been good there has been bad and we could have lost at least one other game realistically. I'm sorry but we DO NOT KNOW if this is a good team now even though the record is good at this point.

'They are a team that finds ways to win against bad teams, coin flip against "ok" teams, and has a high probability of losing against good teams.' You are totally right with this. I cannot think of a big signature win under McDermott against a BETTER team. Maybe Minnesota, that's it. if we keep beating the bad teams he will keep his job but we do lose to the better teams and there will be a point where this starts to be highlighted. WE LOSE TO THE BETTER QBS AND BETTER COACHES. (The browns game is one this bills could win).

It always feels like we are so many players away doesn't it - WR, RT, LB, RB, CB, DT

Like him as a coach but 5-11, 6-10 he's getting the can. So some extreme examples of losing out could mean he's gone.

Yes because the schedule would have to be factored in. It's quite an easy schedule this year. If they went 5-11 then he's lost this team.

Fair do's. Your probably in the minority with the Tampa unis though - too cartoony for me!!

Personally I feel like the red uniform is like a patriots 3rd jersey. Seeing the bills in all red isn't right for me but to each their own!

LETS GO BILLS. LETS GO ALLEN! Let's get another W.

Who scores it? ?

I agree, red helmets for ONE GAME a season. The white helmets are a good change. That's said the real problem for me is with the red unis.

Haha. The red unis are awful - it's a pats uni. Doesn't look like the bills. 3rd uni should be the classic Yeah totally Yeah like others have said. Forget the red uni but change the helmet to red for the 3rd
