It feels different because we have a legit division threat now. Miami was paper tigers that never gave you a real reason to worry about them. New England is legit. They have the coach and they have the QB. In years past these slumps just affected our seeding which was bad enough. Now it is genuinely possible and I might even say likely that zero playoff games will be played at Highmark Stadium in its final season Hey maybe that will be the thing that pisses Pegula off enough to make the necessary change. And that's my answer to this thread - sure go ahead and fire the DC, make a big trade for a WR, whatever. The real change has to happen in January or else Josh Allen will never win a Super Bowl.

Bourne or Jennings aren't enough. I've been an advocate of Rashid Shaheed. But he isn't enough either. It has to be Olave or some other legit #1 if one is available. No more half measures in surrounding our MVP.

I was told on here that Elijah Moore was just stuck with bad QB play his whole career. Palmer was stuck in a run-heavy offense. And they both had such great "separation metrics." Turns out they are who their production said they were. Oh well. At least (hopefully) these past two games will force Beane to make a move like he did after the Baltimore and Houston loss last year. But this time it needs to be bigger than Amari Cooper. We need a legit #1 weapon in the building or the season is toast. Even with one it might not matter but I'd like to go down swinging if nothing else.

I think McDermott and Beane are in lockstep on roster decisions, that's all I'm saying. I don't think Beane goes rogue when year after year he way over invests in the DL while leaving scraps for the passing game. That is an organizational direction and I believe McDermott steers that direction. I'm not defending Coleman anymore. He hasn't progressed at all. Of course I have been consistent in wanting way more investment at that position. I'll take the L on Coleman as a prospect, I was 100% right about the room though. It's deflating to watch my worst fears come true. McDermott has made 3 coordinator hires since Daboll and Frazier left. Babich, Dorsey, Brady. 3 internal hires, two of which turned out horribly, one of which is turning out mediocre. So yes he gets his share of the blame for the team falling out. We have these ridiculous godawful slumps every single year and this year it might have finally cost us the division. That if nothing else should spell his fate.

Truly shocking that in a game where we needed a 2nd half comeback led by the offense, Moore and Shavers were the featured players. That is 2018 bad.

I'm not one to bump old threads. But does this go down as one of the all-time PR blunders in Buffalo sports history? It was destined to look really stupid if the WR room ended up being a disappointment, and predictably that is what has happened.

Allen can really throw rockets downfield. It's too bad his targets are the likes of Tyrell Shavers and not Metcalf or Pickens.

Not bowing out, I just have nothing new to say. To me McDermott and Beane are a package deal. McDermott's coordinator hires have been horrible. His side of the ball falls apart every year whenever we need it to step up.

Fire Brady for who? McDermott just makes internal coordinator hires every time because he is deathly afraid of stepping outside his comfort zone. Making more coordinator changes would be a band aid to try and hide the real problem in the coaching staff.

The only positive from tonight is that Deone Walker has been living in the backfield. We found our 1 tech. Unfortunately we haven't found anything else that we needed.

We don't need one. Beane yelled at local media then signed the WR that just ran the wrong route, because we don't need one. The sad thing is the fanbase ate it right up.

Two 3rd downs where Elijah Moore is the key player. Our 5th WR. Drops an end around, then doesn't break his route off like Allen expects. What a joke.

What the hell was that screen?? He ran into his blockers!

Deone Walker has been our best player tonight

I mean it is 3rd and the game and we're giving the ball to the 5th WR on our depth chart 4 yards behind the LoS. I'm just at a loss.

Wtf Brady??

Alright then... feels like we needed a scoop and score but I'll take it. Can we convert a couple 1st downs that aren't the result of penalties?

Having 1 guy that stretches the field vertically is worth more than 4 guys that stretch the field horizontally. Guess which one we have?

Olave needs to be in the building next week. Beane can go onto WGR and apologize to Jeremy White. Goes down as one of the all-time dumbest PR moves in Buffalo sports history. You just can't function consistently as an offense if you can't throw the ball downfield outside. This is common sense but somehow the fanbase was bamboozled into thinking it wasn't necessary.

They don't have anyone that can separate quickly. Atlanta is just manning up 1v1 sending the house daring our WRs to beat them

We are getting saved by flags this drive. Nobody is getting open on normal drop back pass plays.

Every series the goal needs to be get into 2nd and 6 or better, then 3rd and 3 or better. We can't get out of it if we fall behind the sticks at all

Cook is running harder than I've seen him in at least 3 weeks

Has Poyer replaced Rapp?
