I was really hoping for an AFCCG win in the stadium… and then watching the complete fandemonium as people rushed the field and destroyed the stadium, carrying it out piece by piece while singing we’re goin to the Super Bowl. Oh well.. silly dreams.

Thoughts? The FO office needs to hire new scouts that know what to look for in WRs. Brady needs to watch film of other NFL teams' offenses to figure out how to design routes for them. Does Samuels use all his down time buddying up to McD and Beane, because I can't figure out why he's still on the team.

I truly hope you’re right! But I been waiting since week 5 for the Pats to lose a game.. and they keep finding ways and do just enough to win.

Can’t agree with this enough. Although I think we pretty much need to win out… this game is extremely important. With the division title pretty much out of reach now (unless the Pats just completely fall apart), we have to keep pa e with potential wild card teams, and a head to head win is big.

So posters can’t reference a season from 4 years ago to make a point, but you can reference a QB that played nearly 40years ago to make yours? I guess all that matters is the bills suck, and you’re here to tell us you’re right?

I think he’s lost a step, or I would say half a step. He’s still elite at avoiding the rush. But… teams employ a hybrid spy that closes any QB scramble lanes quickly… essentially they bait him into thinking he can run, but really can’t. They can do this… because the offense doesn’t push the ball downfield enough to back those LBs up. So they’re about to play roughly 5yds off the LOS, take away the short crossing passes and step into the lane if Josh decides to run. In the end.. Brady has failed to adjust his offense while the league has figured it out. Add to it, the inability to find a serious downfield WR and you get the type of games like last week. Add to the offensive struggles at adapting.. you have half the defense on IR. We’re down to what 3rd and 4th string DTs?

I sooooooo hope you’re right! I do.

This, for me, is it. The Bills staff looks at the year end stats and late playoff close loss. And think we’re close, let’s just keep things as is and we’ll get over the hump. But the league has caught up and figured them out. Add to it, older players that get injured every game and you have the 2025 Bills. I have every bit of confidence that they’re gonna pulled out more wins than losses and make the playoffs. I also have every bit of confidence that they’ll get beat, most likely, in the divisional round. The only think I’m not sure of….will Pegula say I want a SuperBowl and make changes to reflect that. NFL history is replete with great teams and coaches that were really good and always competitive, but got complacent and never reached their full potential. Unfortunately, if there aren’t significant coaching changes this offseason…that will be the fate of this team that we’ll all just need to accept. We had fun cheering for this team during the drought, I’ll have fun cheering for them during whatever this losing era will be called. It’s the Bills. We don’t get to win it all. That’s what I’ve long since known and finally resigned myself to accept once again. Josh is a unicorn but even he can’t overcome the curse upon this franchise. Go Bills!

I’m going to suggest it’s more than just scheme. The offense looks a lot like it did last year, prior to acquiring Amari Cooper. Regardless of his actual production, he provided a consistent and respectable downfield threat that defenses had to account for. Once he arrived the entire offense looked better. They entered this year thinking Palmer could provide that. For a couple reasons, he simply has not. We have no one the defense has to respect on deep routes. Hence, they can crowd the line, clog the rushing lanes and get after Allen. Beane tried to pull another Amari type trade at the deadline, but he looked within the division. That, and thinking Palmer (or Coleman) would be a downfield threat, were huge mistakes that have left our offense in a bind. It’s predictable, inconsistent and easy to scheme against. Exactly as it was early last season. They need to hire a scout that can identify WR talent. Clearly, this front office lacks that ability.

Exactly my thoughts. They had a timeout. Just a good push and Allen gets the 1st down and it’s 4 shots to win the game. Such a simple and obvious decision.

I know that feeling! It’s exactly how I felt a couple weeks ago… when we were playing Miami. Man was that an easy win! I suggest you get to cookin something!!

Its stats like that… that give the coaching staff confidence that their system works.

There are times I truly believe this team/franchise is cursed. What kind of “luck” is that last year we were 8-2, had just beaten the undefeated Chiefs and had a very small chance of getting the 1 seed. Now, in 2025, we’re only one game worse. Yet only a small chance to even win our division because the Pats keep pullin miracles out of their arses. Not to mention, just as Josh ascended and we routinely are at least in play for the 2 seed… the league changes the playoff format and makes us play on WC weekend. I get that they need to stop having complete meltdown games like Miami. But I also feel like every year there’s just some force making every thing harder than it should be for the Bills. We just never seem to catch any breaks.

In all seriousness… has Samuel played in 2 consecutive games even once since he came here? Coleman may suck. But at least he’s on the field pretending to play. Samuel… I just don’t get it.

That doesn’t seem possible!
