This is harder for me to deal with than most of the drought era because at least back then, there was a thought of "maybe when we finally get the right qb." We now have that QB and we are squandering his career in an unforgivable way. The weaknesses are the same, and gradually getting worse every year. I feel like I cant watch anymore, especially since the amount of commercials already makes games borderline unwatchable. Maybe, I'll feel differently in ten days.

The whole game and the ending sucks, but if that is what is needed to get McDermott out the door, I take the short term pain.

How did our line just suddenly collective forget how to play today? This team imploded tonight.
Edit: Or maybe not

I’d trade my left nutsack to have a player like Will Anderson on our D
With our luck, McDermott and Babich would probably scheme him into ineffectiveness and he would get hurt three games into the season.

Despite the 6-3 record, this may be one of the bottom five teams for watchability to me. Even many of the low talent years where they at least hustled were better than this. Not sure that would change even if they win tonight. I can't explain the logic behind it, other than being fed up with McDermott.

It's depressing to think that outside of maybe the Chan Gailey era and 2005 after Spikes got injured, that this defense is worse than just about anything from the drought era. Even the Dick Jauron defenses would have been good enough to help a Josh Allen led offense to a deep playoff run.

Not sure why, but all of these vets have regressed BADLY this year.
I blame the system. A prevent scheme should never be the default. Rob Ryan looks like Buddy Ryan as a defensive coordinator compared to Babich.
-
This defense might be approaching "worse than Chan Gailey defenses" level. Absolutely unwatchable.

With this defense, we would be lucky to get three wins if it wasn't for Josh Allen.

As advantageous as it might be for the Chiefs to beat Indy, I simply can't do it at this point. And I refuse to do it.
Agreed, I am not sure if Buffalo is guaranteed to catch New England, and I am much more scared of Patrick Mahomes in the Playoffs than I am of Daniel Jones. Both scenarios have upside, but I want the Chiefs out of the picture if possible.
-
I would put them somewhere between fifth and tenth overall for likelihood of winning the Super Bowl. The only thing that makes me have some optimism is that most of the other teams in the AFC also have flaws and have looked flat at times. Barring no more injuries, they may be able to get by at WR with the additions of Davis and Hardman, but I feel like not adding defensive help at the trade deadline could come back to bite us. The defense was not good enough today and was lucky thate Allen had one of the better games in his career.
-
2 receptions, 30 yards, and 4 or 5 times getting the worse end of a contested catch
-
The more i think about things, I blame the system more than the receivers. Samuel and Moore had some success on other teams, Coleman has shown flashes but is now virtually invisible, even Shakir has dropped a little. Not an elite unit by any means, but on paper, we have had much worse in the past. In contrast, I remember Fitzy get 300+ yards a game with Stevie Johnson and a bunch of UDFA's and practice squad caliber people.
If a career backup can do that with replacement level players, but a HOF caliber QB can't get anyone open all game with WR's who have starting experience, then it must mean that Brady is not calling the right plays or making the appropriate adjustments.

Buffalo is not going to get any better under McDermott and Beane. I am also an Orioles fan and they were the exact same way under Buck Showalter from 2012-2018. Fast turnaround and promising playoff run after a long period of time, but spinning their wheels and refusing to address the weaknesses in pitching and depth, drafting and signing the wrong people until eventually the wheels feel off fast and they were back to being awful again for a few years after.
My worry is that Buffalo is doing the same, our cap is locked with defensive players and receivers who disappear for games at a time and most of our free agents do not pan out. Today's game was the first time that I saw the same thing potentially happening here, if we play like that, we will be lucky to win another two games this season. Close losses to young and hungry Patriots and Falcons teams is one thing, but there is no excuse for a blowout loss against a team that fell apart at the seams over the last couple of weeks. McDermott is football's version of Showalter and it is time to move on before it is too late.
-
We have a top 10 all time quarterback and division playoffs is our ceiling because McDermott and Beane make the same mistakes every year. Players that don't fit the system, conditioning that results in five injuries a week, undersized players in a prevent defense, offenses that start out great, but go to the well too often and become painfully predictable, listless efforts a few times a year and to add, a blatant ignoring of our depth issues at the trade deadline. My patience with them is officially 100% gone.
-
At this point we need to move on from McDermott and Beane. I am starting to think that even an average coach would have gotten us to a super bowl by now. Absolute lack of urgency and no trades plus our players dropping like flies every week.

Doing nothing is better then doing bad deal.
Agreed, but I am more confused then annoyed. This was the year where at least one deal seemed like a given. At the very least, I thought that they would make a trade to replace Oliver and Hoecht. Because they planned to trade, it feels like bad preparation on Beane's part which bothers me more than if he had just said that he felt fine with what we had.
-
I would not have expected trading for nothing at all in any scenario, but At least the Chiefs and Pats didn't do anything. With our luck, whoever we traded for would have gotten injured within a week or two anyway.
-
Nice game and extreme encouraging progress from Bishop and Hairston, but I still think that we need to add a couple of pieces before the deadline. Especially with the Hoecht Injury. Other than that Patriots win, this was a good overall day for playoff positioning.

Falcons are pretty banged up, and it's in New England.
I expect a few wheels to fall off of the imaginary Patriots resurgence - but my hunch is that they pull out a W on Sunday and the media continues the "they're back!" frenzy.
The Patriots may be the darlings of the media for awhile with the light schedule, especially if we take an L to the Chiefs. The Dolphins were like that two years ago and were as far ahead as three games, but eventually, we took the division. Granted, Maye is better than Tua and some positions have legitimate talent concerns, but there is still plenty of season left.

"Billy, this is Tre'Davious White. He was part of the team that ended the drought, a two time pro bowler and has lead the league in interceptions before. Perfect veteran leadership and body is as good as new..... from the waist up, only catch is that his legs are ravaged by injury, rendering him incapable of covering someone for more than 5 yards"

This fearmongering over losing SNAP is the equivalent of when the executives of networks and cable/streaming providers bicker over how to divide millions amongst themselves and flood programs with messages telling you that the other side is going to take away your station by January 1st and that we need to call them to complain.
SNAP benefits will not get taken away, the chaos that ensued from that would be much more costly than moving things around to make it work. Even if the budget is not settled by then, there will be a "Last second miracle" that allows SNAP to continue.
The real problem is that not enough people realize that both sides are at fault and that their bickering always ends up taking precedence over our well being. Talk does not matter anymore, only action when it comes to this budget. I don't care whose fault it is anymore.

I still believe that Buffalo has the better team, but the cupcake Schedule that New England has is extremely concerning. The Bills are going to have a small margin of error going forward to win the AFC east. I am hoping for something similar to two years ago where we take the division back when it counts after letting the division rival enjoy it for awhile like when we did that to Miami.

Who would win in a Basketball game between the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, if the Ohio State football players were the refs and Josh Allen and Tage Thompson switched squads?

Maybe if he trades the picks from the top two rounds for as many 4th to 7th round picks as possible. For some reason, those players more often than not, end up being better than McDermott and Beane's top picks.
