It’s been said all year, but Gabe has a good game then disappears for a week. I think Josh would settle for a guy who’s good for 4-5 a game than someone who’s good for 9 catches one week, then 2 the next.

Problem is I don’t think there is a McDermott replacement out there. The Josh Allen factor will open lots of HC candidates. That said, minus a losing record, I think the odds the Bills fire McDermott are very low. Odds they fire Dorsey is probably higher than most realize. Bills will likely be able to hire whatever candidate they want at OC.

History the McDermott Bills meh until late November

Correct. Dane Jackson put in 110% effort, but he and Benford were completely outmatched. Williams and Dodson… woof.

Losing Jones, White, and Milano is even worse since none of their backups stepped up. Rapp has also been pretty bad. A defense that lost its MLB and FS to boot.

A blocking TE? 🤦🏻 Knox had 97 catches, over 1100 yards, 15 TDs, and caught over 72% of his targets over 2021 and 2022. I’m sorry he strained his quad and broke his wrist in 2023. 🤦🏻

Dawson Knox is not the 7th highest paid TE this year, after FA next year he’ll be outside the top-10.

Again, Knox contract isn’t top end. It’s high middle.

It’s D) All of the above. Dorsey’s offense isn’t a fit for Josh Allen, you likely have to get rid of one this summer. McBeane took huge gambles on old players (Hyde, Poyer, Miller, Joseph, Douglas) and so far it hasn’t been great. Beane has a few key FA misses (Ford and Rapp are major misses) The FA target misses have made the injury situation that much worse.

Tre has an opt out this summer that saves 6 mill but has a 10 mill dead cap. Von doesn’t have an out til 2025, huge dead cap makes it unlikely to be released. Retirement may be a legitimate storyline this summer. Knox contact, while a high average, is only pricey next year then the team also has an opt out. I think it’s significantly more likely the team restructures his deal than releases him. So there you have it. Tre release/opt out/pay cut, Knox restructure, Von pray.

Yes he has the most, but elite Josh Allen (2020+) doesn’t have significantly more than Mahommes or Burrow. They’re all pretty close. I still don’t think DaBoll or Dorsey are great OCs.

This, same story last year with the ankle.

But then you see things like last night when the passing game sputters. Everyone hates Collinswoth, but he absolutely nailed it when he said if you mix in the run and pass, and spread it around when you do pass, the offense will work. Bills did this in the late second half, and it did work. Team opened the game with like 13 passes and 3 runs, 2 straight runs after the INT.

Ford is coming off a pretty good game vs TB, some of us hoped he was turning a corner. Dressing one true 1T (I get yelled at whenever I say NT) who’s been on the team 4 days could be a decision we look back on critically.

Seattle has made 5 tackles this year and missed 4. 😅 44.4% is his rate right now.

No clue how Settle is active over Ford. Settle has been horrible, his missed tackle percentage is like 40%

Bills after November 1st: 2022: 7-2 2021: 6-4 2020: 8-1 This team has been getting white hot in late November with long win streaks. 14-2 in December and January (regular season) since 2020.

The Dolphins still haven’t beat a team with a winning record since the Heat Stroke game last year vs us.

I thought he was going to say “online bullies”

Worth mentioning Puna Ford was pretty good vs TB, if he’s turning the corner that’s a big relief for Beane.

Joesph and the emergence of Ford last week may have just saved the season, and I’m not being over dramatic. Let us hope Joesph picks things up quick.

Reports from last week is Puna Ford also was a stud vs TB, so hopefully he is turning the corner as well.

Woah, woah, woah, It’s pea-ka-chu

When the Bills signed him, he wasn’t coming off a season where he looked completely washed up.

I’m just taking the positive side of that coin. Maybe next December we see both on the field.
