I always try to explain this to non-bills fans. Everything is difficult for the Bills. It’s made easy for players on other (good) teams. wonderful post.

Mahomes always runs on us. He always beats us more with his legs than arm. This isn’t new. maybe the bills need to watch more of their own tape, less of others.

I personally hope so.

I just goggled him, says he isn’t a FA until after 2025 season

Yea then He passed out! That was a bad concussion dude

April 2023 Hurts new contract was the most ever in nfl history. They have two $100 million receivers and the highest paid running back and I presume a highly paid OL seeing as it’s the best OL in the league. and a stud filled defense. They didn’t do anything when the cheats sheared their way to a half dozen superbowls

We really missed Leonard Floyd this year

I wish I shared your optimism. I don’t think this roster is particularly talented, I saw a number of other playoff teams with seemingly far superior talent. But we have JA. and the draft, too many wiffs and no superstars from Beane. We needed the 2024 class to be big time contributors and it was basically a total waste. Other teams found studs, just not us.

I’d say we need defense input from outside the org. Jim Schwartz for DC.

Pre draft I watched a number of keons YouTube highlights. If those are this best plays, I have no idea what the bills saw in him.

Stop trying to and trade the picks for good players. Jerry jeudy wasn’t a superstar but he was traded for a 5th and 6th. Who did we draft in those rounds? I don’t even know their names, so that’s the impact they had. Jeudy had 90 catches and over 1200 yards on THE BROWNS.

No one is better than Reid. But how about Spagnola? His D is clearly superior to McDs. So we improve our D and weaken theirs in one hire. We could retain Brady if you wish but I think I’d hire someone like Pederson for the record, at this moment, I’m keeping McD but insisting he replace both coordinators with proven winners from outside the org.

I’ll be pretty upset if something like that doesn’t transpire. with the benefit of hindsight, I’d trade every single pick in last years draft (that is, Coleman/Bishop/Carter/Davis/etc…..) for one of those guys.

If we had Worthy and they had Coleman, we win. Beane has had some poor drafts recently. The rookie class this year was essentially worthless, when we really needed home runs. but Mack Hollins has been great.

I very much disagree with you. The chiefs have given Mahomes the best O coach and best D coach. He has HOFers on his team. He has all pros all over his team. The chiefs give him rookies that produce. His coaches call plays that give him the easiest completions. Allen has none of that. Allen will never be able to stand up straight, he breaks his back carrying the team every single week every single year year after year after year the bills brass gets Allen no help. Not since 2020 have we had even close to what Mahomes has. Lamar has a stacked roster and a SB winning coach. Burrow has a stacked roster too. He will have a beef soon if they let all those guys leave. My point is Allen is the reason we score 30 points a game. And Brady adds very little In Terms of creativity and scheme. Just look at how blah and vanilla our play calls were these playoffs. 6 tush pushes in a row? No other creative call? teams play the pass and worry about Allen and that opens up the running game. I’m confident and decent coach could score 30 points with Allen and the current nfl rule book. But clearly we need someone much better to beat the chiefs.

In past years I’ve supported moving on from McD. But this was mcds best year. He got a below 500 roster (minus Allen) to 13 wins and the afc champ game. I'd tell McD he did a good job but hiring within the org for coordinators isn't working. We only get yes men and we need another perspective. Bobby babich is a nobody. Demote him to LBs coach or whatever and hire a proven pro like Jim Schwartz. Then two great D minds with differing systems can bring two perspectives and create a dominant D. Schwartz won a SB with the eagles. Then demote Brady to run game coordinator. I'm sorry but his schemes stink and our passing game has blown since he took over. Allen just covers up the succ. Bring in Doug Pederson as OC and get a proven Super Bowl winning offensive coach who can work in a spread offense with a mobile QB. Then forget the draft and start trading for studs. Get on the phone with Cleveland and convince them they have no chance until they clear Deshawn Watson salary. Trade them Coleman Kinkaid and a bunch of future picks for Miles Garrett. Set them up to be good 3 years from now and we can be good immediately. Then go sign Tee Higgins in free agency. Or see if you could somehow trade for Malik nabers or Brian Thomas Jr. do both and get us some superstars. We can find role players in the 5-6 rounds. Every other resource needs to be 100% committed to find game destroyers like Chris Jones and kelce.

Who is ‘they’ in your post? I’m not sure if you are referring to our D or their D or our O….?

This is not the year to rip McD. This roster was so wildly outmatched all over the field - Beane should be embarrassed. Dis anyone watch the other playoff games? I see dudes way better than our dudes making plays all over the field. We don’t have dudes like that. seriously, other than Allen, who on our team would start on the Eagles? A health Milano and Allen. But you can’t count on Milano being healthy anymore so Literally it would only be Allen!!! And Allen wouldn’t even start on the chiefs!!! As much as we love our guys- this roster sucks. It’s not a playoff roster at all. McD got us 13 wins and the the AFC championship game with a below average roster and Allen. I think we should be happy with that. no Brady. Brady ticks me off and I blame that on McD. We should have hire Kliff Kingsbury like I wanted.

I personally thought the D played well yesterday. We lost because of offense. Brady was terrible and I don’t want him back after such a horrible outing. 0/2 on 2 pt conversions. Tush push was seemingly our only play and like a spoiled toddler he kept trying it no matter how much it didn’t work. No one was schemed open on passing plays. Josh has to manufacture everything. like the chiefs, who on 3rd/9 with the game on the line, schemed a dude wide the freak open for an easy 15 yards. EASY. where was that play for us Brady?!?!? You have a dozen tries where’s the play!! No play action with mid direction crossing route to a RB or TE to be wide open ?! Why no pass to Alec Anderson the tackle eligible?! There was nothing and it was embarrassing. josh Allen carries this whole team and especially Brady

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. if the dude requested a trade I wouldn’t hold it against him one bit. I’d follow him to another team and could maybe leave this abusive relationship behind

It’s all so QB dependent. Baltimore has the supporting cast, that Allen really just hasn’t had. Mahomes and burrow have had that cast too. Lamar is really good but his arm is the limitation. He can’t get past Mahomes or Allen because he is inferior to those two.

It’s hard to beat a good team twice. I really hope Allen goes off this next game.

After seeing our defensive gameplan against Baltimore, I’m much more confident we could stop the Eagles. Barkley is more elusive in the open field but J Hurts? He Certainly scares no one.

So the NFL can easily put its finger on the scale by assigning by one of those crews for Sunday. unfortunately having tay tays bf in the stands will draw more eyes to the SB
