Spencer Brown has to sit. He’s obviously hurt.

Good to see Allen get mad there.

The Shakir and Bernard extensions are ones we need to stop making.

Great. Now beane and Sean get their convenient excuse: injuries
this team is ***** even without the injuries, signing Bernard to a big extension is all you need to know about how stupid this front office is
Nah. Nobody should give them that anymore.
They want these small players. This is what happens.
Every year. It’s not a coincidence anymore.

Lmaoooooo
This defense is the most pathetically weak collection of individuals I’ve ever witnessed

It’s both. The roster as a whole is atrocious
Defense is an absolute dumpster fire.
Offense is a unicorn QB, with a great OL, good RB room and mid or made of glass everywhere else.
Why exactly did we pay Shakir? To be a RB we pass the ball to on screens? But that’s the type of player we pay… above average but not great and doesn’t scare anyone.

They’ve got to bench Taron Johnson.
Absolute liability out there.

I can excuse injuries..
I can’t excuse scheme and personnel where we seem to legitimately want small, undersized players to defend the pass and rush the passer.
…and yet we can never rush the passer and now can’t defend the pass.

Cowherd adjusts his sails to the direction of the wind.
Sure, but he’s consistently … I mean over years .. been calling out the Bills Front Office for the team they’ve built around Allen and how it’s not on the level of his peers. -

If we never play Burrow again it will be too soon. Ive never seen a QB that we match up worse against (at least with McD's soft zone defense and weak pass rush). He has looked like a surgeon against us just slicing us up effortlessly. The playoff loss, the regular season loss and even the start of the Hamlin game, Burrow was just moving with ease through our defense. We might have beaten him had we got pass the Chiefs in the 13 seconds game as he hadnt quite got to the elite level yet, but we never got the chance. Since Burrow came to the NFL we have never figured out how to confuse him or neutralize him. He seems to read our defense easily like an early reading book for kids.
One would hope Benford/Hairston and Bishop help change this.
If by the Bengals game, Max isn’t getting most of the snaps, I’ll be at a loss for words. I will acknowledge that Tre seems to be playing better lately, but that’s a game we need Hairston/Benford vs Chase/Higgins.

So I assume. The question was with whom to replace him. Absent an upgrade I suppose it was worth having him
here. Now that Gabe is contributing, I see no reason Keon gets a jersey absent multiple injuries at that position.
As an aside, another good night by Gabe might make one wonder if he is one of the more unique FAs in NFL history. Easily the best WR upgrade on the market late in a year, when injuries start to hit, healthy, would be contributing and on a roster, yet free to leave at any time. A good game
might get him a nice contract now if he’s so inclined. Food for thought.
I think another good game by Gabe gets him signed to the 53 or an agreement that happens in two weeks.
A good season by Gabe likely means Bills/Gabe work out a deal for next year.
He made some money in Jax and I think he just wants to play where he’s comfortable.. which is here, with JA.
Id be shocked if he stays healthy and plays well, then isn’t on our roster next year.

Not for nothing, but if the team was so ready to be done with Keon over this, why didn’t they just move him at a the trade deadline?
There are teams who liked him in the draft and likely think he just doesn’t fit with Allen or is miscast outside.
Im guessing they had to see Gabe get right and Keon was the insurance plan if he couldn’t?

The problem here is the majority of posters think with their emotions and not their brains.
How many posts there were 3 years ago ripping S Brown and stating the Bills need to get rid of him. Many of the same posters 2 years ago were saying how much of an improvement there is from Bernard over Edwards, now they want to git rid of Bernard and ripping Beane for extending him. There's many other players here fit similar profile of people here having no patience. Yes does it look like they are correct on Coleman and were on Elam, but I'd be willing to bet anyone that I'd be correct more than they would about which player will suck if I can take every player in the league as many more players fail than ever succeed.
I didn't see it posted here, but one rumor I heard Coleman's being benched tonight because he doesn't want to learn to play ST which where he is on the depth chart right now, he needs to.
The problem is, when it comes to fan criticism, is the fanbase/content creator community overwhelmingly disliked or were meh on guys like Elam, Keon (don’t fit what we do) and Carter, Jackson (just aren’t good enough) and here we are with 4 recent premium picks and nada, nothing.
You can’t predict injury, typically, but it’s pretty obvious we need more from early round picks … and we need more early in their careers .. not year 3 and then we have to make a decision to pay them.
Nevermind another a recent high pick in Kincaid, who’s good when on the field, but can’t get on the field because A) Struggles blocking DE/LB’s and B) Is made of glass.

I think I have all but given up on the notion that the D is fixable. Too many current injuries and too many past injuries have slowed players like Milano, Poyer, Johnson and White. For the Bills to win, they simply have to be a beast on offense. It seems to me the only true Buffalo defense is to stay on offense.
There probably isn't a person on this board that believes the Bills can stop anybody in 3rd and long. The lack of a consistent pass rush, poor tackling and poor scheme seemingly get exposed each week. As my father used to say, it is what it is.
I think they have hope on 3rd and longs because Benford is starting to look like himself again, Hairston clearly looks like he belongs out there and Cole Bishop is turning into a stud Safety.
If all 3 of those guys continue to gel and we get anything out of Poyer/Hancock and Johnson/Lewis, this secondary can cover.
The DL needs Sanders to become what they drafted him for desperately. To be that passing down pass rusher from the interior. They also need Bosa to get healthy and Rousseau to take a jump that maybe is never coming.
Dorian Williams in the Hoecht role has some promise, but we need Sanders to come on so Solomon can go back to DE4. He just gets stonewalled too often in that interior pass rush role.

So you’d rather play against Burrow than Flacco? Got it.
No idea why people think Burrow coming back wouldn’t be a huge help..Maybe he’s not fully healthy and rushing back, maybe they still lose .. but Flacco is a backup QB for a reason and after a few games, is now doing what backup QBs do when pressed into action for more than a few games.
Nevermind the juice that team (should) have if Burrow returns, along with it being at home where the crowd will likely be electric.

Right? Kind of the exact opposite of early round strategy vs. later round strategy. Early, go for the "sure things" and later go for the "upside" guys. And to Beane's credit, he has some history with the mid-round guys definitely working out...less so with the early round guys (Allen of course).
Late 2nd Cook. Late 2nd Torrence. Jumped NE in the 3rd for Brown.
Three pretty massive building blocks around Josh Allen.
Signing Ty Johnson.
If only Beane could do at WR what he’s clearly capable of doing at OL/RB.-

That's just scratching the surface on Beanes picks. He has been horrible after drafting Josh and Tremaine
Beane should get a ton of credit for Josh Allen and building an elite OL with the help of Aaron Kromer.James Cook was a home run of a pick with the multiple trade downs and still getting one of the best RB’s in the league and then extending him on a somewhat team friendly contract compared to what Cook would get on the open market.
After that, it goes downhill pretty quickly. Some hits in the mid/late rounds but those guys don’t have the ceiling of early round picks .. which is why we have extensions for guys like Shakir and Benford and they’re simply good to very good, but not elite players.
Hes left Josh out to dry at WR and I don’t care if Josh liked Keon or not .. the staff should know Josh needs separators. See guy open, arm cannon the ball to the WR. He’s not an anticipation/jump ball QB.
The philosophy for drafting Kincaid made zero sense and has been evident in the fact he plays like 30% of snaps per game as a big slot.
He cares way too much about spending money/draft capital on the upper middle of the roster as opposed to getting an elite guy … evidenced once again by valuing a late 1st this coming Draft over getting Josh Allen a WR the caliber of Waddle.
I will say, to his Defense, the DL - if they stayed healthy - might be a Top 5 group in the NFL. But given how obsessed he is with getting it right, how do you lose two players and it becomes a massive liability? We desperately need more from the DL and we can’t even rest Bosa to get him right because our trade up early 2nd RD pick at DT is having to play DE snaps? We also lost Jackson, but he was destined for a redshirt year anyway as a 3rd round pick. The bigger issue is we can’t rest Bosa, because our 20M per year extension EDGE doesn’t rush the passer well enough.

AFC North divisional games are another animal. Joe Burrow has won in Baltimore only once in his career, and that was during their 2021 Super Bowl year. Overall, the Bengals are 7-4 against Baltimore since 2020. The Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens tend to split very close games, with the home team winning a lot more often than not. The reason that Ja'Marr Chase melted down and spat on Ramsay is that he knows that their season is over. They had to win that game in Pittsburgh.
Perhaps. But let’s say the Ravens split with CIN and split with PIT, then split NE/GB.. That’s 9-8, assuming they beat the Jets this weekend. And with CIN playing them twice, they have as much control over how this plays out as you can possibly have.
Steelers could easily lose to the Bears, Bills, Ravens (1x) and Lions. So even if they split BAL and beat CLE/MIA, that’s 9-8.
Not sure how the tiebreakers would play out.
Again, extreme long shot for CIN, but they’re not out of it … yet… and with those remaining schedules, you can see why Burrow, if right, would demand to play.
-
The winner of the AFC North could very well be 9-8
After this week vs the Jets and Steelers vs the Bears, if the Bengals can beat the Pats, you could have both BAL & PIT at 6-5 with the Bengals at 4-7.
Bengals have split against the Steelers and have 2 left against the Ravens.
Steelers final stretch after the Bears have the Bills, Ravens twice and the Lions. Browns and Dolphins in addition.
Ravens after this week. Steelers twice. Bengals twice. Pats and Packers.
Bengals staying contention not only would likely mean Burrow comes back and they beat NE.. it also means they stay in the race to make the Ravens schedule far tougher on paper than it looked a few weeks ago and potentially beat them on Thanksgiving Night … which would make them juiced up for our game, but I’d take it if it means handing NE & BAL losses.
Bottom Line, if Burrow can play, he’s coming back on Sunday. They seem far out of it, but if they can win these next two games, the math changes very quickly given the PIT/BAL schedules. Hopefully we put a wrench in that equation the following week, but not before they help us out.

No offense but I am 100% certain so many people have disliked Sean McDermott for so long they're going to call out anything
And call everything a paper tiger
We've literally gone into the playoffs with the Chiefs starting AJ Klein at linebacker because of injuries... Played without our starting safety
Played without Bernard .. played without Milano
Played without Christian Benford
We've literally been handicapped in the playoffs for years
And in the NFL if you could put out multiple years of top five defenses you're not a paper tiger... Josh can score 30 on top 10 NFL defenses
Everybody will always complain
We've lost by a field goal to the Chiefs two straight years in the playoffs severely handicapped .. not with injuries that are 10 weeks old that professionals adjust to
Injuries that are 6 days old 10 days old.. and we're playing outmanned and we've lost by field goals
So if Andy Reid had the better teams and we are more hurt.. I'm pretty sure Sean McDermott did a hell of a coaching job the last two years despite the narrative
Maturing is realizing Brandon Beane is the man we should want fired, not Sean McDermott.-

Bills have Palmer and Shakir on multi-year deals.
They have the rights to Shavers past this year.
Id be willing to bet that if things go well with Gabe, he’s back next year.
Thats 4 WR’s and we’re likely looking for another WR in the Draft, FA or trade to play meaningful snaps with them.
Keon is looking like a guy who might just be emergency depth this year and then flipped for a 5th before the Draft.
Im hopeful he can be something for us if/when called upon, but if he’s inactive again, he might only get back on the field as a Buffalo Bill due to injury.

This team is so hard to figure out. But I do think at their best, they are as good as anyone, and better than just about everyone.
So much for them is centered around both health, and motivation. They're getting healthier, and there should be NO issue w/ motivation as we get into the homestretch and still have a good chance for the division title.
With Ed Oliver and Michael Hoecht, I honestly think we’re the best team in the NFL, provided we take the restrictions off Allen when it matters.
Stabilizes our run defense and our pass rush would be filthy.
Hopefully Ed can pull a Burrow and suprise us by getting back early on the field Week 17 or 18 to get ready for the Playoffs but I doubt it. Feels like a Micah Hyde situation in which we hopefully actually make it to the point where he can return.

This thread reminds me of the age old NFL saying. “It’s not who you play… but when you play them”. This is a great weekend to play Cincinnati. Even if Burrow played, he won’t be in mid season form, and no Chase.
Look at the Falcons injury report. It’s huge. Too bad the Bills didn’t get them this Monday night instead of when London and Penix were around. Take the Saints this weekend.
Very true, but I’m not sure I’d love to be the team playing the Bengals, even without Chase, on the day Burrow comes back at Paycor Stadium with the team knowing they need 7-0 maybeeee 6-1 to win the division.
That place will be electric if he plays.
Huge game for us, honestly, because we can end their playoff hopes in a few weeks and in the meantime have them take down NE and BAL.
If they somehow beat NE, that Thanksgiving game is going to be wild.

They ****ed us on the play clock.
Forced us to hurry the play.
Got behind the sticks and here we are.
