  1. Seems like it was the receivers. 
     

    Offense looked vintage Bills with Keon down and Gabe/Palmer up. 
     

    That said, we were ALOT less predictable today, so some blame to Brady as well.   Hopefully he’s learned from this.

  2. Last year the offense took off when the corpse of Amari Cooper at least forced teams to worry about him. 
     

    Prior to that Mack Hollins was simply a guy we kept launching deep shots to with Coleman-like efficiency. 
     

    Is it an amazing WR room?  No.  
     

    Can a 26 year old healthy Gabe give us more than half retired Cooper?

     

    Can Palmer give us more than Hollins?  
     

    Id say there is potential for that answer to be yes.

    Said it was a shiz pick on draft night. THIS has been my major frustration as a Bills fan: watching them make stupid decisions and KNOWING they are bad decisions in real time. It’s maddening. 
     

    I wanted Xavier Worthy at that pick or Ladd McConkey in a trade down. 
     

    But no, McBeane is smarter than everyone else because he got LUCKY passing on Mahomes (stupid) and lucking into Allen.


    It is frustrating when so many fans are correct when questioning certain draft picks. 
     

    The fanbase, pretty overwhelmingly, didn’t like the Elam, Basham, Coleman and Carter picks. 
     

    Especially Coleman and Basham. 
     

    And what do you know, 4 recent premium picks, and the fans were right. 
     

    Maybe Carter can be a functional rotational DT next year, maybe.

    I get that it's all you got. I will ask this though. What if this what they are?  A 10-7 team at best? 

    Everyone keeps comparing this team to past Bills teams in the Allen era. "They always have a mid season funk, then rifle off multiple wins to an AFC East championship". 

     

    IMO this team is nothing like those teams. 


    This team isn’t much different from last years team.  
     

    That being said, last years team - on paper - had no business beating Baltimore in the Divisional Round and we had nobody capable of stealing the division from us. 
     

    Still.. they were, perhaps, a dropped Kincaid catch from the Super Bowl.

    I agree but the same time that's a lot of ifs to go right. 

    Even when Palmer was healthy they still weren't using him much as a down field threat 


    Yea.. I think there’s a ramp up between Josh and Josh that needed to happen.  Then he finally looks like he’s coming alive down field andddd he’s been injured ever since. 
     

    It’s a lot of ifs, but it’s all we’ve got.

     

    Bills Offense should be focused on getting Allen chemistry with Gabe and Palmer as soon as possible.

    That could happen. I have my doubts just due how the offense plays and built. You need to score often in this league to win most weeks. An offense that uses long drives and eats clock is not going to cut it. 

    Add in them having the worst starting field position in the league. A lot has to change for them to go on a run. 


    The Bills simply need something, anything, to open up the passing game down field. 
     

    Maybe Brady just doesn’t have that in him.. might be a bigger worry for me than personnel at this point.   
     

    …because while not world beaters, both Gabe and Palmer can win deep and take the top off.   As opposed to the none of that we’ve had for most of this season. 
     

    If we can start hitting stuff downfield, that opens up Shakir to become more than a glorified running back and opens up our run game to be even more dominant. 
     

    We never needed a Justin Jefferson, although that would be great.  We simply need competency in our OC and outside WR’s.   Gabe and Palmer (if healthy) are both competent outside WR’s.   Then we need to see if Brady has it in him to not be the anchor that sinks us.

    Sounds like Trump wants to primary her. That will bring a flood of zion money into the race against her. Not many Jews in Georgia but the money will flow in from Jewish pockets 


    Trump can try but I don’t know that primarying someone in a local Congressional seat will work.  Those people know her.  Voted for her when she was crazy.  Now she sounds competent and fearless so theyll turn their backs on her over AIPAC money?

     

    More likely is this propels her to a statewide run for Governor or Senator against Keisha Lance Bottoms or Jon Ossoff  … which is what she wanted all along and Trump (justifiably back then) blocked it.

    IMO that's easier said then done. The WRs one this team just aren't that good. 


    Beane could get let go last week for all I care.  His claim to fame is finding JA and he’s middle of the pack at everything else.

     

    That said .. other teams in the league that don’t have upper half WR rooms find a way to pass the ball without it looking like an unmitigated disaster on half of their games. 

    And those teams don’t have a Top 5 OL, Josh Allen and James Cook.

  9. Starting to think MTG might be unbelievably politically savvy over this. 
     

    Trump apparently told her to stand down on running for Georgia Senate or Governor. 
     

    She was furious. 
     

    He was right to tell her that because old MTG with Trump’s backing, was not winning state-wide office in Georgia.

     

    This new MTG.  Fighting back against Trump, pushing for the Epstein release, closed borders, end to H1B’s mixed with economic populism aimed at both the right and left… this one could win.

     

    Last conservative in Georgia to have a feud with Trump is the most popular politician in the state, by a longshot… Brian Kemp.

    Watch Dane Jackson or Morgan Fox get called up instead of Gabe Davis

     

    🤮

     

     


    So from piecing together some reports, along with Cover1’s comments, it sounds like Sanders might be a week away, secondary concerns and Hardman is likely a call up for them trying to find a returner. 
     

    So, DT or CB & ST call ups. 
     

    Sorry Josh, I know everyone is apparently glowing about how Gabe looks in practice but you have to wait.  Defense and Special Teams come first and we can’t just add him to the 53 because Brady pounded the table for Curtis Samuel, who he doesn’t know how to implement and Shavers, who is not an NFL caliber WR, needs to play specials.

    For those of you calling for Gabe-give me 2-3 sentences why he can. Don’t tell me why others can’t, tell me why he should be on the field over the others. I just don’t see the need to play him 


    I have to be honest.  I’m honestly kind of blown away by your question. 
     

    Gabe, if he’s right, has shown the ability to stack routes and make plays down the field. 
     

    Hes also shown the ability to make himself available to Josh on scramble drills. 
     

    We are, dramatically, lacking both of those elements. 
     

    Perhaps Palmer gives us some of that if he’s back.  But why are you asking this question like we’re crazy for wanting this?  Our outside WR situation, between personnel and coaching, has been an absolute dumpster fire.

  12. Very frustrating if Gabe doesn’t play. 
     

    Not for nothing, and many might disagree, but I kind of want to see Gabe/Palmer outside and Keon in the slot. 
     

    Bills need to figure this out and we know what Shakir is.  Would rest him and see what Keon can do there. 
     

    We’re a long shot to win the Division right now, so figure out the best combinations on this team at positions like WR, LB and S … and just get into the playoffs.

    The Bills problem was not trading away Stefon Diggs.  Between the off-field distractions, cryptic social media posts, degrading relationship with Josh Allen and his total lack of production in the playoffs... his time in Buffalo had completely run its course.

     

    The problem was that our GM decided to replace a Top 5-10 WR with rookie Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.  And then when that backfired in the first month of the 2024 season, he was forced to scramble and trade a mid-round pick for an aging Amari Cooper... almost totally negating his compensation for Diggs.

     

    Then clearly not learning the lesson, he basically swapped Hollins for career #3 receiver Josh Palmer.  With Cooper leaving, there was still no urgency to add a true #1 option.  Instead we went bargain-bin shopping for Elijah Moore, and did nothing in the draft.  When questioned about this decision, our GM then went on an angry rant against a radio show host.

     

    And as the cherry on top, our GM was unable to add anything at the trade deadline.


    I agree completely, but would also have to add in our OC that seems completely out of his depth in designing a passing offense. 
     

    Other teams with meh WR talent don’t look as bad as we do in so many games this year .. and they don’t have Josh Allen and a Top 5 OL.

    it doesn't explain the Pivot though Leo. Why so much reluctance to releasing them now when not before?  It reads very self serving to me.

     

    But as far as pedophilia being common  No question. But we are speaking of the evangelical  Rights supported candidate  and  POTUS.   I don't have to tell you how much smoke there is around him. It sure smells like fire to me.   He is who he is. 

     

    "By a preponderance of the evidence" show me the FILES. 

     

    And I have thought about the fact maybe the files arent as damaging to he and is allegedly possibly so. Or have been tampered with. SMH

     

    why the pivot then though?

     

     


    You’re never going to understand the question you’re asking if you can’t stop obsessing about Trump. 
     

    Maybe there’s not much in there aside from a few creeps and once these girls aged out, they were given to his friends.  Gross, but not illegal once of age. 
     

    Maybe it’s goes so far as our intelligence agencies involved with and/or foreign intelligence.  
     

    Or maybe there’s lots of people named as running in his circles and once released their names are falsely destroyed in the court of public opinion like Alan Dershowitz. 
     

    What seems likely is Trump thought he could manage this once in office - maybe release parts to satisfy the populace but leave his references out of it (which so far are all nothingburgers) but now when in, he’s either lost control of it due to joint efforts on the right and left or has been warned by very powerful people not to relase it. 
     

    Hes not the only one to fight this. The last President did the same thing.  Why?

     

    To answer that question, you have to be willing to stop obsessing about Trump.  Otherwise you’ll only come to one conclusion… and if Biden didn’t release anything damning on Trump, you’re likely going to end up wrong.
