They just do not have enough impact play makers on defence
-
Bills coaching staff just does not seem prepared have actual gameplays for the opponent they are facing. I thought our defence should come out against the Texans and their backup QN with a heavy dose of blitz packages to get some hits on him and get him rattled. We rushed 4 the first half and that is when he did most of his damage. Now I'm afraid next week against Pittsburg they will come out flat and allow Steelers to get ahead and then we end up chasing the game like against both the Dolphins and Texans. We need to start this game next week aggressive on both sides of the ball

Will Josh Allen want to stick around for a rebuild?
Niagara Dude replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think we can still be competitive during a mini rebuild, their going to need send away older vets and take some serious dead cap hits but when you have Allen a good GM who understands the importance of player skill/forty times can reboot things quickly. This team still have some good young player they can keep around, just need to get rid of guys like Knox/Milano/Johnson/Samuel/Bernard/Dawkins. Out of those players, getting a starting LT will be the hardest to do and if you look at the rest of the roster then most guys are still young and you can keep them around. A good GM perhaps can make a trade for a good young play making player and we start hitting on some higher round picks along with good free agent signings and we can turn this around quickly. The problem with current roster construction is there are no elite play makers outside of Allen and Cook. I think Bishop on defence could be that guy on defence and maybe you add a couple more with one on offence and another one on defence Dead cap hit in 2026 Dawkins-26.7 m dead cap - 25 m cap hit if he stayed Milano- 11 m dead cap -11 m cap hit if he stayed Samuel-3.4 m dead cap - 9.7mcap if he stayed Knox - 7.4 m dead cap -17 cap m if he stayed Johnson-9.5 m-dead cap -11.5m if he stayed Bernard-11.8m New GM could decide to either trade or keep him around for another season because he will be 27 next season and only 5.4m cap hit I think starting over with new starting LT in 2026 is a must, we cannot afford to wait until complete Dawkins decline and he gets Allen killed, just watch some of plays he just stops because of bad conditioning, getting rid of 2 starting LB'S and Johnson allows a new defensive cordinator to start fresh and go forward with bigger bodies. So a mini rebuild that includes new schemes with new coordinators on both sides of the ball along with new HC would not be that bad and with Allen we still could be competitive during those 1-2 years. Going to be up to Terry if he has seen enough and wants to give Allen a better opportunity to lead this team to a Super Bowl -
Like him or not , Allen could always count on Diggs to shake his defender. It's so sad to watch Allen trying to carry his and take a beating on the field. At this point i would be looking to bring in some street guys or someone who can take Hardman's spot. Texans were playing a lot of one safety back because they had no fear of getting beat. I could see something like this happening in our next game against Pittsburg.

Thanks for sharing, it was bad and Brady just made it worse. I think we win this game if our Defence came out more aggressive in that first half with blitzs to start the game and maybe create a turnover. When your playing against an elite defence like the Texans, you need some help from your to shorten the field for your offence. That TD drive before the half after the kickoff return for TD was a back breaker I think Babich and McDermott need to sit down and find ways to create turnovers. Last season that is something our defence did and were not seeing this season

I think it could of worked for McDermott if Beane had done better drafting. Just never hit on enough picks and this roster has no impact elite players outside of maybe Cook. -
I have to agree, and he calls balls and strikes fairly

Time to Rebuild? Too Many Beane Holes.
Niagara Dude replied to OutOfBubbleGum's topic in The Stadium Wall
The cap situation for 2026 is a huge problem, most likely the reason why Beane did not want to trade 2026 first for Waddle Knox- 17m Milano-11m Dawkins-25m Samuel-9.7m Johnson-11.5m You have a mediocre TE Knox making 17 mil and expect to have cap space to pay a #1 receiver, not sure how they can expect to improve without tanking for a least one season -

I thought the biggest let down and turning point in the game was after the Davis TD kickoff return. I would have liked to see Babich being more aggressive with heavy blitzes to get a sack and maybe get the ball back to Allen for more points before the half. They instead played prevent and Texans who are not a great offence go down the field and score a TD with 5 secs left Credit to our defence because they played well enough to win in the second half, but that TD hurt and we were chasing the rest of the game -

Going to need to start drafting guys with speed, this team is undersized and not enough speed at critical positions. Speed and size matter, i could care less about if they guy has great character -
I think it's been pretty obvious that Brady and Babich are doing what Mcdermott wants, this usually means playing and coaching not to lose. I think McDermott rewards both of these guys with them having their own weekly pressers so they can promote themselves I just hope Pegula tells McDermott he needs to hire a big name defensive cordinator and new offensive cordinator from outside. That has always been the problem, we keep hiring coordinators that are already here and that's too easy to control

Allen missed a wide open Knox on the final play
Niagara Dude replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agreed you take away Allen and this is bottom 3 team in the NFL. I thought they should have tried to run Cook or even Davis on the previous 3 & 1 to secure the first down and then just take shots to the end zone The reality is Knox is a perfect example of Beane overpaying for a fringe talent player, he is not someone who you can count on to make a big play in crunch time because he does to offer any elite talent skills -

Just not enough play makers on offence, the lack of speed is a big reason why Allen has to hold on the ball so long and tonight he got beat up for it No question, only way we can beat anyone is to get up 2-3 scores and then force the other team in one dimensional football. We're not winning close games or if were not scoring at least 30 plus points -

I agree that drive the Texans had before the half after the long kick-off return cannot happen, but it just seems like Babich went to prevent D and we all know how that ends. Overall our pass rush was trash and Bills just don't have the talent in their secondary to hold up with no rush -

Moore was a complete non factor
