Baltimore has been without their QB for a couple games and held it together. They’re a win on Sunday against the Jets from being one game behind us. And are predicted to win their division, which that is simply luck as they don’t have a Denver or NE to deal with. So you can say this if you want, but chances are if we make it, might be heading into Baltimore WC weekend to face the team you’re currently acting like we’re better than. Ravens had a Bills/Texans type game against Cleveland, but were able to win because they.. unlike us.. don’t have a soft Defense that gives up 20 points in a half to a bad Offense.

Ultimately, if the Offense scores 12 points, it’s on the Offense. But I agree.. going into half up 16-13 or even 16-16 and it’s likely a very different game out of halftime. Having to play from behind with how limited we are in offensive personnel and brainpower, against that Defense, put us in chase mode and allowed a Mills led Offense to sit on a lead, never risking mistake.

I don’t even know where to go honestly. We just handed out 4 bad to meh, at best, extensions. We have a good bit of dead cap. Have to make decisions on McGovern and Edwards. Desperately need a true WR1. If they let those two walk, they need to draft IOL early/mid-rounds and hope SVPG, Anderson and Grable are ready to compete for the spots at a high level. Defense is a friggin warzone. Needs everywhere. Safety opposite Bishop, NCB, probably 2 LB’s, Defense will get back Hoecht, Oliver, Jackson and Carter. Probably need a run stuffing DT to round out the room, which they don’t believe in.. and a legit pass rusher off the edge which is next to impossible to get with our cap situation and draft position.

It’s wild to hear Beane talk about how good the Offense was LAST YEAR, when forecasting to THIS YEAR. Anyone with a brain could tell you it doesn’t work that way.

This. As much as we don’t have a Super Bowl roster. Not sure anyone else in the AFC does either. I don’t care if it hurts Brady’s feelings. A serious team would fire him. Get Daboll back in the building and let him work as a Senior Offensive Assistant with Curry or Kromer. Brady is literally getting laughed at by how bad his simple passing game concepts are by any NFL film guru you can find on social media. We can’t fix the personnel, but we can run an offense that has a more diverse protection scheme against an elite DL and better passing concepts so Defenses arent completely keyed in on what we’re doing every game. Only get so many cracks at it with Allen and we can’t just give up this year because we have to win 3 road games IF we make it. This team as currently being led isn’t winning 3 in a row.. so do something drastic. What is there to lose? We fall apart and miss the playoffs? Ok.. that’s a risk I’m willing to take if the other option is stay the course and lose in the WC Round at Baltimore.

Dawkins at his locker says he doesn’t think we were out-physicaled. Points to Davis being a foot down away from us having the ball at the 1 with a chance to win. My man… shut up. You’re “Its never Super Bowl or Bust” attitude is wearing thin. You give up halfway on plays all game. Two of those times led to Josh Allen sacks today. You take pride in your game, yet got WORKED yesterday. Just own it. Im slowly starting to view his attitude as emblematic of why this team just can’t seem to do it. Dion seems content being an above average LT on an above average Bills team that has a shot every year. Happy go lucky, it’s all good type of vibe. At some point the leaders on this team need to get mad. Josh Allen seems close to getting there. Anyone else going to follow or nah?

What a disaster of an offseason. Invested heavily into a Defense that is the worst we’ve ever had. I get it, we lost Hoecht and Oliver for the season. Those two can’t be the linchpins on a functional defense that take it from good to dumpster fire. Not when you’ve invested so much into it. Injuries can’t be an excuse anymore on that side of the ball. They just can’t. It’s no longer a coincidence. It’s every year. It’s the players we sign, draft, the scheme. Undersized guys, injury prone guys. There’s a reason we’re always banged up there. Rousseau looks more and more like an anchor of a contract. Good, not great player who we’re paying borderline DE1 money to set the edge on the worst run defense in football and rarely get pressure on the QB. Just a brutal contract extension as it stands currently. Benford got paid and immediately looks like a guy who got drafted in the 6th round. Maybe he’s hurt, chances are he probably is, but if he’s not going to be the guy we paid, that’s another swing and a miss. Bernard. Gross. The most obvious extension that could potentially go bad. Oft-injured and undersized. And this year he’s … injured and undersized. “We’re better without him” isn’t a good place to be for a guy we just extended. And I might be in the minority but I hate the Shakir extension. Hes good at what he is.. a Deebo type player, but I think he’s limited out of the slot and is blocking us from having a more well rounded option there. We could clearly use him better too.. but he’s not a guy who can flex to the outside and he blocks our offense from any positional flex in the WR room. Which is ok if you’re prime Cole Beasley… he’s not that. A Golf club in the bag for the Offense.. nice to have. Not my ideal full time slot WR. Bad extensions, going all in on defense and leaving Josh out to dry. We traded Diggs and suffered his dead cap for what? To be in cap hell again.. this time with bad extensions and not even remotely a game changer to speak of? Beane should be fired yesterday… the Josh Allen card only works for so long, especially when you’re now the biggest obstacle in his way.

Completely agree on that one play. And I don’t advocate him taking snaps from Davis. Gabe almost mossed Stingley in a huge moment of his foot comes in a foot more inside. Shavers had a great game by our standards last week. Nothing this week. Can JA salvage the back shoulder throw with Keon? They throw it because it’s a chunk play against pressure instead of constant tunnel screens.

This is gross. Dawkins whole schnowman shtick doesn’t hit when he’s playing like that.

Bosa needs to take a game or two off and get healthy. It’s comical we haven’t done that yet as his wrist has him rushing with one hand. But we can’t rest him because we decided to pay Rousseau 20M to be tall and look like he’s good at football.

After the offense reverted back to a clownshow, do we activate Keon? Does it even matter with Joe “Mesh Routes Til I Die” Brady at OC?

Do we … not want it? What is the point in saying this if that’s not what he’s implying?

Bills fans watching Hallmark on Saturday Night.

Do guys like Benford and Rousseau have trade value? I’d imagine they do. Bernard, probably not, so we’re stuck with him next year. Just get rid of them for Day 3 picks and free up cap, I don’t care. Enough of this with these above average players that never come through when it matters.

O put up 12. We should probably expect more than that with Josh Allen at QB.
