And that’s where it comes down to your definition of getting ‘better’…and where I believe you and I disagree. Many on here opine about if we can only load up on some mythical amount of talent, we’re bound to win. Nope. We can beat every other team including KC, with the talent we have. But, if at the moment of key decision and playmaking our talent has a brain cramp, it doesn’t mean squat….and it definitely hasn’t for the last three years. Rinse and repeat over and over again. The exhausting part for us fans is we have to wait entire year for the situation to present itself again only to witness the same head scratching failure.

Shaw….the problem isn’t one of personnel or the team being ‘good’, ‘bad’, or ‘not good enough’. You get ONE chance at the very end of the year, in the final quarter of the final game, and this version of the Bills has choked every year. Until this team (including the coaching staff) can learn to slow their heads and their heart rates down when everything’s on the line, we’ll see the exact same results. Unfortunately we and they have to wait eleven months to see if they’ve learned how. While I like the Colts analogy I cannot recall whether they were similarly afflicted during the Manning years.

We need more renderings.

It’s not rock but…. Oops I did it again.

Feel free to start a thread about the Carolina Panthers if you’re that concerned.

Does this same mindset apply only when we play the Chiefs? Because it sure as heck didn’t help when we lost to the Bengals last year. And most likely won’t when we face some other team next season. You HAVE TO be ready in the moment, regardless of the opponent….and under McD the Bills simply haven’t been.

Here’s a hint….it rhymes with POACHING

I’m not sure why it’s so difficult for some of you. Are the Bills good? You bet they are! Are they a Super Bowl winning team? Obviously not. Something has to change. And since we’re DEFINITELY not changing our QB for the next five years, minimum, I’m of the opinion that another significant variable in the equation has to change. And it’s NOT getting a new DT and WR in the draft, although that’ll be a good move. I’ll let you figure out for yourselves which other significant variable doesn’t impact our poor Cap situation.

Yep, that’s exactly what I said. 🙄

Where are you going with this? We’ve seen how this ends up now for years. As I said, enjoy the limited success…. I certainly have been. But it is what it is.

Just stop. Throw “it” away? Nope….but if we don’t throw the head coach away you better be ready for many more years of the same.

And you’re entitled to your opinion as well. Just don’t be surprised when it ends up exactly the same next year. Because….it will.

Youngster!

What’s different? The 49ers can get to the Super Bowl without going thru KC. The Conference concept cannot possibly that foreign to you. The only chance the Bills have is if Mahomes gets injured.

In the hunt. In the mix. Sure….why not? Just enjoy the season. The Bills will win some games and others they’ll lose. But as long as McD is in charge they’re neither winning nor going to a Super Bowl.

Never going to happen under McD. Just isn’t. Never.

Those stories are interesting and I’m also shocked that they don’t have emergency egress lighting. They are a code requirement! By the way, it’s not done with a back up generator. Each room has a limited number of light fixtures with a small internal battery that kicks in to provide the code minimum foot-candles.

Or maybe, and this is just spit balling, maybe they should try not to choke in the playoffs next year.

Way, way too much draft calculus going on here. The Bills need a lot of players given where they are age-wise and cap-wise. There’s no way I’d draft more than a single WR in the first three rounds. They’re just going to have to pray that the one they pick pans out.

Of course you’re kidding, but if you look at the drone footage they’ve actually installed a significant amount of steel in the one corner surrounding that first ceremonial white column. Pretty neat!

Went to Pasadena and Atlanta. Spoiler alert….we lost. But it was a great experience both times regardless. I have to say that I much preferred the atmosphere of being outside in the sun of Pasadena over being inside the dark dome in Atlanta. Seeing all the planes, helicopters, and blimps circling over the Rose Bowl as we drove to the game gave you the feeling that you were truly at the center of the universe for that moment in history.

Dutch? Are you sure?

My wife just told me he’s going to Houston. Go figure. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh come on. Did you focus on him? Von was no better than a pet rock out there this entire season. Just because you’re paying him it doesn’t mean he has to take up one of the very limited roster spots. He did nothing!

I’ve always wondered if the problem is evaluation BEFORE they’re selected or training/coaching AFTER they’re on the team. I believe it’s as much or more of the latter, than the former.
