The first blitz was all out prison break. It’s like.. why didn’t they do that all game?! But, like a solid high school coach calling a defense against a green freshman QB, McDermott does it again, and the veteran Super Bowl winning quarterback and the veteran Super Bowl winning HC/OC played him like the dummy he is. McDermott, his staff, and this team are a bunch of clowns right now. Literally the joke of the NFL. Nice. If anyone thinks there was a better option that Russ should’ve executed, boy. He did exactly would was needed on that play, all things considered. Seriously, the what-if excuses around here. Here’s a what-if, Jeudy would’ve scored EASILY with a better throw. Russ had time to throw it 40yds, he had time to throw it 50.. he just didn’t. The blitz did not shorten that throw by ten yards. Imagine if Jeudy scores…. Like he “should have”.

I’m waiting to hear what game winning drives Allen has lead this season..

He’s robotic. Says what a quarterback is suppose to say. Safely. As you point it, he says one thing and goes out and doesn’t show he’s learned a thing. Time for him to actually mean what he says.

Always by himself isn’t he. With the man-bun, bearded millennial staff close by

Good points. It felt weird typing it. In the past, I always felt confident that Allen will make something happen late in games. As recent as Nee England, I was actually thinking.. Good, winning close games like this will make them tougher, and more comfortable in tight spots. But a combination of things has made that confidence wane big time. I don’t like his body language, I don’t like his ALWAYS sitting by himself on the bench, I don’t like his not running, and I hate the stupid turnovers. I’m patient. I didn’t jump on his back every time he threw a bad pick. But it is what it is. It’s a year (minus one game vs the Dolphins) and that’s enough time to be very concerned. Bottom line. Projecting that I want him traded.. slow down genius posters. Try reading what’s being written. Which game winning drives are you referring to?

BUT… You’re right. And Allen is worse than ever in the “Allen is Great Era”.

Love when the board thinks they’re smart. Hope you realize that only about 3 percent actually are. The rest of US are just raving, lunatic fans.

And I disagree. Allen is playing like asshe looks like asshe is @$$. Hit the bricks pal. I don’t care what he did in 2021 anymore. It was great when it was happening. So I should think he’s untouchable now, after this stretch? Allen has created the doubt, not me. And I’m a little concerned. I don’t know what to tell you. You’re obviously sure that Allen is great, and this year (and half of last) never happened. I liked 2020 Allen, to be honest. Quick decisions, quick release. Sorry, he’s pretty far from that now, and trending. Not good at all. I get it, he’s physically gifted. But I think OJ32 and BS78 were more talented at their positions than Allen is at this point in his career. Smith and OJ are all-timers, NFL wise. Allen isn’t. I might even put prime Thermal above Allen. Having a talent for the spectacular ✅ Having a talent for stupid interceptions and fumbles ✅

There’s a chance that Allen is the problem here. It’s hard to win conference championships, let alone Super Bowls, and that’s the expectation in Buffalo. What if that’s not in the cards for this guy. He’s playing terribly, and the picks he throws are what you’d see from bad quarterbacks. There’s a problem with JA17. Does he ever come back from bad plays during games? He’s a front runner. And when he’s down, he acts like someone took his coco crisp. is this going to be 10 more years of coaches being responsible with the task of “fixing Josh Allen” for it only to never ever happen. He’s six years in, this isn’t looking great. He just does not seem like the type of team leader that holds guys accountable. Again, I think he cares more about being liked than doing what’s necessary. He didn’t lead anything great in college or in high school, so what experience does he has leading an NFL team? Pretty much none. I mean how bad does this get? McDermott gets fired. Then what?? What if Josh Allen is Jay Cutler…

Three years in row, the Bills have fired coordinators. I’m no front office savant, but that’s a wrap. All three phases, gone. What a track record. That is unsurvivable for McDermott. It’s his staff that he’s gutting. Who would want to even work with this coward at this point.

I think Allen is more concerned with being well liked than being a true leader of men.

He sat Cook for more than a quarter after the fumble. Cook WAS THE ONLY BILLS PLAYER TONIGHT. Did they think they were good enough to punish Cook and not lose a step on the field. Didn’t bench Davis. Didn’t bench Allen. Just Cook.

The 49ers are definitely hitting the steroids the hardest this season. Every year, there’s a team that gets the good ***** and commits to going for the kill. Seeing these teams in person helps you realize they look a little different. Bigger, bulkier, more cut, muscles from head to toe (only roids guys have enough in the tank to do leg sessions). Even when the walk, they look like they just lifted. Looking at you, freak body Greenlaw.

Whoever wants to trade JA17 for picks, I’m not going out of my way to be in his collectorate. I don’t think he’s a WR2, so I wouldn’t be trading that. The Jets obviously made some moves to sure up the WR room. They were in the market. Maybe there’s a deal there that made sense to but teams..? I’m fine trading Davis to the Jets. I predicted they’d implode, and I don’t think highly of Davis as a WR. Again, trading him pre draft was the best time, most value. But kicking tires for a deadline deal should have been done too. Those files are secret. Sometimes the team that has the player can seek out a trading partner.

I mean.. our WR2 is a decoy and blocker?? What kind of offense is that?!

The Raven’s grass field is fantastic. There’s not so much as a grass stain on any white in either teams’ uniforms. I want one.

My reasoning is that first, as everything stands now, trading Davis was the correct thing to do. Then I go back and remember how I thought about things when the off season started. I wasn’t high on, or even slightly stoned about, Davis becoming a WR2. Sure he was a starter on the roster. Fine. And a became captain (which I peg as a joke move). But teams have to take risks. And this was a risk that made a lot of sense. I’m not sure what we’re saying here. -We would only get a 5th or 6th for Davis so why trade him? -Why trade a starter? Which is it? Surely, now, you’d agree that if given a 3rd before the draft, we should have done it; or, given a 3rd at the trade deadline, we should’ve done it. It’d be a tough pill to swallow post draft - preseason, unless we drafted the Ohio St. WR in the 1st. It’s like we’re saying we’d never get a 3rd for this guy, but if we were offered, then yes. But at the same time, saying, Why would we trade a starter..? Nowhere did I say we should’ve taken less than a 3rd. And I think some team (stupid preferably [the Jets]) could’ve been had. I may be dreaming, but I’ve seen worse deals. Only my opinions. What do I know..

This Trade Gabe scenario includes the off season. All of it. We can’t cherry pick and say Gabe was going to turn into a bonafide WR2, so why would we trade him?— As the season played out, it’s obvious now (to some) that he’s got to go. But I’m sorry, it’s Beane’s job to see this coming. The facts that this was a highly debated issue all off season.. we can’t claim that Beane was blindsided by its development. I actually think he tried to alleviate Davis’s ineffectiveness with Kincaid, Sherfeld, Harty, and the others. If we have a Higgins, no way he spends that much effort on WR. So he knew! And we are going to ride out this contract and get nada. That’s a miss to me. All due respect, but I’m not sure your throw away line about Higgins/Burrow was worth the time you took to type it. But you sure are an angry elf. Come on! Holiday spirit 😊 We’re just talking about football here.

Begs the question. Named a captain?! How on earth does that happen, that this coach gives out that title to (motivate an underperforming player) a player that you think you can will be become a star? At this level of football. Talk about Mickey Mouse.

That’s when you need a 200 spot deep custom draft order preference. Talk about grinding. But you’ll know every single NFL position player alive haha. Given my RBs, Achane and KyWill were obviously on my best when they had they best games. Just hasn’t been a fun run this year.

…finish my team. …and Swift and Bijan. My team is hurting too.

Singletary just scored. Gooo for heem. Stroud is looking like a very nice quarterback.

Was it a minor/major mistake not trading Gabe Davis? Would the Jets have considered him pre-season? Were there teams with playoff/championship aspirations that would’ve added him before the deadline? Not trading him is going to look like a missed opportunity to gain draft capital. When he tests free agency after the season, some stupid team will overpay him, and I don’t blame Davis for taking it. He’s pretty much a nothing player, but if he can finish the year healthy, he’ll piece together a nice little highlight reel that some team will mistakenly sink their teeth in. The Bills could’ve walked away with a 3rd, believe. That seems to be the spot we’re both sides would feel relieved and anxious. The Jets were loading up for a Ring run, and probably running out of draft capital, but I’m sure they would have pulled a 3rd out of their hanger to trade with the Bills. Rodgers was getting his guys in place before he was even acquired, but surely he’d liked what he’s seen from Davis, thinking he can make him better. WR2-WR6 becomes interesting when you add Davis in here. As for the deadline landing spots, take your pick—literally every team could add Davis into that mix. Even the Bengals, who have the best WR corps in the league, they never know when Chase or Higgins or Boyd will miss time with a serious injury, like a hamstring or foot. Claypool went to Miami (along with a 7th) as a new toy for a 6th,,, and Claypool doesn’t have a four touchdown playoff game @ KC to brag about. That was a plain ol’ ‘why not’ move by the Dolphins, but it shows that teams want a deep WR room if offense is the side of the ball they want to boost up. If the Bills don’t value Davis as a 3rd, they probably would have had an easier time dumping him for less. Big miss by not getting something for Davis. He’s gone after this year, and his contributions might be meaningless this year. The Bills targeted WRs like crazy this off season, so they knew life without Davis is near.

I’m going to share my conservative mindset on this one. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. McClap has won. I believe that people are dynamic, and I have faith that a person who is lacking will delegate and find a way to get results, and become the guy that gets the right people in the right spots for success. I think this way because I am this way. I really have no ego at all… I’m pretty sure any success I have is because of a myriad of circumstances, but I’m smart enough to seek out and capture those circumstances and place them around me. I’ll give myself credit for that. But the freaking egomaniacs.. I can’t really relate. I’d say Nick Saban is this way, but then again, he high tailed it out of the NFL before fans got back to their seats with their popcorn, so he did know a wrong situation for himself, and he’s never been back since and just winning National Championships year after year. So there’s a guy even with a man ego bigger than Tuscaloosa on the first day of class, sho has enough whereabouts to go where he could succeed and he hasn’t been shy in hitching on to very talented coordinators (mostly offensive). Right now, McClappy has to know Dorsey is in over his head. A change will be made, and hopefully the OC is the right guy. And really, if he wants to go a step further, quit calling the damn defense and get an experienced, talented DC. Delegate, or it’s over for you, McClappy.

Did. If the Bengals were going for the knockout punch, and they didn’t get it, AND the Bills ended up with no picks, no fumbles, and 1 sack,, I’m more depressed than I thought I was.
