You’re right , and it doesn’t appear there’s one available. The rest of this season is looking like a referendum on Beane’s roster building failures. Hoping I’m wrong and it’s their annual October swoon/ lack of focus. This feels different though.

You’d have a better case for the Colts and Daniel Jones looking like the best in the league( or at least the AFC) than the Pats. The Bills lost a 3 point division game to NE in which they shot themselves in the foot repeatedly. Yes the Pats have a very easy schedule, and that will be an issue. They’ve withstood these sloppy mini slumps before. We’ll see if they can do it again.

Thanks. Okay, must just be my perception then. As I said, I didn’t count them. However, my point is that i believe the Bills can improve on pre snap penalties ( regardless of Offense or Defense) without getting better players.

They may not be for much longer.

Seems to be a lot of false starts ( even at home ) illegal formations etc. Just guys heads not being in the game. I haven’t counted them or anything - just seems to be some general sloppiness to the offense.

It has to be the roster and coaching. KC being the roadblock is simply the bar that’s been set. There will always be a closest competitor in the conference. Some set a higher bar to clear than others. It’s unfortunate that KC/Reid are at their high point while Allen is at his, but those are the breaks. The roster/ coaching have been very good for quite a few years. Just not quite enough to clear that hurdle completely. It really can’t be anything else.

I tend to agree, except for maybe the pre-snap penalties. Those aren’t from a lack of talent or innovation.

After 2 sloppy, uninspired performances it’s probably a good time for the bye. Perhaps some injuries improve, and the Bills will get a couple of players back from suspensions. We’ll see if they can correct their issues or if their roster decisions have left them bereft of talent. It is…especially with Reid and the Chiefs standing in their way.

Teams always seem to say player X isn’t being moved or they’re working on a new deal with whoever. Then they’re traded. These responses mean nothing until the deadline is past.

It’s really looking like Coleman is jag. I think you’re spot on. However, every year you have Josh Allen is a year the Bills should contend. Waiting until next year is a waste. They have to make a trade for an offensive weapon.

They may have a 2 in Palmer. They don’t have a WR that demands attention from a Defense. Allen scanning the field for open WRs that don’t exist is maddening.

Yeah, a street FA isn’t going to cut it at this point. They need a fairly major trade for a real WR. Perhaps an addition on D, but not replacing Diggs with a certified top WR has exposed them.

If the Bills miss the the playoffs, it won’t be due to one game. It will be that the lack of drafting/ signing good players has caught up to them.

I’m not lobbying for it by any means. I agree and would t have punted even on 4th and 6 or whatever. Just an idea why McD was less aggressive. He can’t have much faith in Brady right now. Of course, his defense is pretty bad and reason enough to go for it.

Eh, no. He retired and it was obvious last year he wasn’t into it. They do need to make a trade for a WR if they want to have a chance though.

Not sure , but Brady’s calls on short yardage have been pretty bad. Maybe that’s giving McD second thoughts.

He looks very good. Potential stud DL for years to come.

Yeah, it’s a problem but it’s not their biggest problem. You can’t move the ball with Allen at QB. That’s a bigger problem. One player isn’t fixing this D, so they need to score - a lot. That’s what they’ve done , but honestly I just don’t see it this year. They look like they don’t have it in them to be very good.

They were better than the offense , incredible as that is.

Last season looks like an eternity ago

Man can they blow the whistle ?

A lot of pro athletes lose their winning edge after getting married. Josh has played about three good quarters of ball this season.

Yep. Might not be as hot as Brady’s though

Not a big “ fire everyone “ guy, but it appears it’s time. Now it won’t happen soon, but not winning this division / missing playoffs is a fireable offense to be sure.

But wait ! I heard it’s not really a dome because the roof will be open tonight This was kind of expected the last day or so
