Buffalo ill

Even if we were lucky enough to move on from McBean, the large contracts given to average/injury prone players have set the franchise behind for years.

I don't think the current version of the Bills can beat a team with an elite defense. If the offense sputters, I don't see this defense keeping another team below 20 points. Basically there will be no 14-10 or 9-7 victories.

This entire season has felt off, and even when they win it still feels like a loss.

Their defensive backs can instantly drop a tank of a fullback with the first contact. Our defense typically takes 4 or 5 guys to stop a running back 9+ yards downfield.

Is it possible for this defense to ever takle someone with the first man?

Imagine how spooky the Texans would be if they had an elite qb.

Fortunately the Texans get beat by teams with actual nfl caliber defenses, so I don't expect the Bills to face this D again this season. Now to scrape together a wild card spot.

Maybe the secret to this game is to just not let our offense get on the field. Hold to fg, let davis return for tds. Elite new strategy

Well we all know if the offense has an off game the defense surely won't be able to bail them out.

I have "severe" adhd according to the shrink I went to a few years back. I always suspected it. While I loved football and cherished big hits while playing defense, I never was good at studying a playbook, lol.

I'm sure some will take this the wrong way, but is he on the spectrum? It feels like he isn't quite neurotypical. There are lots of undiagnosed people on the spectrum, and being on it doesn't mean you have the stereotypical appearance and require a caretaker.

I get that he is amazing and the reason the franchise has been as good as it has been. Some of you apes act like it's a personal insult if anyone complains about a throw.

I love Josh as a player, and that was a beastly run. He should not be immune to criticism for obvious whiffs. Fortunately the pros are outweighing the cons. I'm sure he would agree. Recognizing mistakes is how you improve.

Baker looking like Lamar vs this defense

There is a middle ground there.

I like him too. Just not against the bills, lol

It's clearly the fans' fault

At this time Cook is one of the few extensions that is money well spent. I fear Kincaid will be our next Milano contract. Dump a bunch of money into a guy who absolutely cannot be depended upon to stay healthy. I feel like his best value to the team will be as trade bait for a more durable player in a position of need. Maybe the Bills are just unlucky, but they have a history of giving big contracts to guys right before they disappear due to injury. Tre White, Milano, Von Miller, Ed Oliver, and a few free agent WRs all come to mind. They spend so much money on guys who don't play.

End around incoming!

3 catches for 28 yards.

I suppose anything is possible. If the Patriots finish 15-2 and win the superbowl then Vrabel is a genius and shame on the buffalo owner and leadership.

I suppose in her defense she didn't write that temu dusk til dawn movie.

Different era is all of it. When Andre played WRs straight up got murdered over the middle. Now days players would get suspended for the routine tackles of the olden days.

I agree with you and the post you quoted. I was ready to quit watching after the playoff blowout loss to the Bengals. I actually realized how bad being a 30+ year Bills fan actually made me feel. The problem was my wife actually pulled me back into it. She randomly started showing an interest in football she never had before, began rooting for the Bills, and watching games. I started to look forward to watching the game with her and our dogs on the couch. Fast forward two more loses to KC in the playoffs, and I hit what I deemed to be an irreversible wall. After the afccg last year, I really thought about how awful being a bills fan makes me feel. Seeing them in their downward spiral this year isn't hotting as hard as it would have in years past. I'm more disgusted with the team, and how Billsy it will be if NE goes to the superbowl, than anything. It feels like a waste of Allen's talent (though he isn't blameless) and my time. I mainly watch this year because i forgot to turn off my youtube tv/and nfl package renewals.

I don't think Allen is the problem, but he has been part of it lately. More of a result of his back breaking from having to carry the team. I was quick to jump on the F Diggs bandwagon, and I still think a guy getting paid that much should handle himself more professionally. However, it is clear Josh isn't a motivator like many SB champion QBs. He, and the team are exactly what you would expect from a group that has "mr brightside" as a fight song. They miss Digg's talent and fire. I get the impression Diggs wants to win a superbowl above all else now that he is rich. He clearly saw it wasn't going to happen with McBean and a xanax stupor locker room, no matter how talented the QB is.
