Well we aren't. We are 7-6 and playing below .500 over the last 8 games. Good teams find a way to win tight games. We are middle of the pack due largely to coaching and bad line play. That isn't changing this year. It really has a drought era feel, doesn't it?

Love the positive outlook here. However the Bills are exactly what their record says this year. And for the reason you listed. Inconsistant play. They are constantly inconsistent so to speak. And while facing Josh Allen in the playoffs isn't an easy task...I can't figure anyone is trembling in their boots to play this years version of the Bills that is 0-5 in close games, 3-5 over the last 8 games and has a swiss cheese offensive line. Especially physical teams that can have success running the ball (Tenn with DH back, Colts, Pats, Browns, and even the much improved lately Chiefs all spring to mind). Other than POSSIBLY Tennessee with a rested up Brown and Henry coming back and the Chiefs that are really looking like last years version, there really aren't any teams that would stand out as a team "no one wants to face in the postseason".

I could easily see another restructure with him. Buffalo could also go out and try and get Bradley Bozeman of the Ravens or even Austin Corbett of the Rams as younger upgrades if they hit FA. Depends how they view Morse and what they want to do with the interior of that offensive line. Judging from what Beane has done in the pats, a restructure to free up money and drafting a C to mold behind him seems like it's most likely, unfortunately.

Not stupid at all. I only learned that this last offseason when Tyreek Hill refused to allow the Chiefs to restructure him. The articles I read all mentioned that he and his agent had that removed from his deal and it wasn't typical. The major thing I think about with Beasley is that while he has been great, Allen would still have capable weapons. Diggs will still do Diggs things. Knox has made a jump and continues to be a bigger weapon as the season goes on. Davis is really under used...and if we can improve that line not only would it keeps Allen upright as you said....but it just may help bring a bit of a run game back and take even more pressure off Josh Allen to be excellent every game. Even if they keep Beasley next season he really isn't part of the long term at his age and the way injuries have and may continue to pile.

Most player contracts have built in language that makes it so the teams can restructure without player permission. That usually extends to converting money into signing bonus where players don't lose anything. I do believe they have to gain approval drom the player to extend voidable years and such. I agree releasing Poyer would be a huge gap. Not sure I agree that Beasley would be a huge net loss. Yes, he is amazing at getting open...however this is 2 years in a row he's played through (and been hampered by) injuries. At his cost I would rather that his money and combine with money we get from Sanders expiring contract and get a new (younger) WR. A guy like DJ Chark with his speed or Gallup would be really nice. Increase Gabe Davis's role and I don't think the drop off is too bad.

IIRC, there would also be about $9M in dead cap from cutting those 2. I could see them restructuring both these guys again. I do think Beasley could be a cap causality and well as AJ Klein. Those 2 would clear about $13M with a dead cap of less than $2M The Bills have quite a few contracts they could restructure as well (Tre White, Perhaps Diggs, Dawkins.) In any event there are tons of options for the Bills to clear some big bucks for shiny new toys. My biggest hopes for FA are (if they hit the market) G Connor Williams and C Bradley Bozeman. I'd rather keep Poyer and pay the 6.7M we don't really have anyone to replace him with and he is still playing at an extremely high level.

Are you inferring the players aren't intelligent enough to comprehend tweaks to the gameplan?

Maybe he was wearing flip flops🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Yea, as realistic....and equally stupid. Got it?

In today's day and age with all the Tablets and instant access to data...if you wait until halftime to make adjustments you are already 2 quarters behind. There are teams that make adjustments on the fly and make tweaks all game long.

Dorsey would be one name to watch. Another name not to discount would be Chad Hall, our WR coach. This is, of course, if they promote from within.

That's a bit of an hyperbole. Regurgitated enough that many simply accept it as fact. And you are asserting that the league...all by itself with zero knowledge or accecptance of the owners fixes the games through officials. And the teams that are on the short end of the stick just continues to turn a blind eye, throw up their hands and say "Awe, shucks" and then continue to extend the contract for the man in charge of it all...the Commissioner. I really used to get offended when people from foreign countries would rag on the intelligence of the basic American. Then through the wonders of the internet I find that fine folks such as yourself exist. I owe a few people from England an apology.

Listed a 6'6" and 340. That would be a mighty slab of beef to throw in the middle.

I would suspect Schreff to get a very big payday...but Bozeman (already want to nickname him Boss Man) and Williams would be magnificent. Draft a 2nd guard and please also grab a competent OT as a swing T or if Dawkins doesn't bounce back.

Will they, though? Pats just recently gave up 200+ to some Tennessee practice squad level players. They may do better than Buffalo did, bit JT having 100+ and a TD or 2 is certainly possible.

If the NFL is scripted that means better coordinators were not part of the script. Perhaps when Sammy Watkins leads the Lizard People from the sewers to take over the NFL the games will be legit and Buffalo will become the Football Champoins of the Flat Earth.

Allen should be left out of the convo this season. Yes, he's playing great and really carrying our offense. However if you want to be league MVP you gotta win a few of these close games. Those are the games that define an MVP campaign. Buffalo being 7-6 and 0-5 in tight games sinks him terribly.

My biggest take aways from watching this game: - I wish we hung on to Jordan Phillips rather than spend the same money on the guys we brought in - Kyler Murray looks like a drunken toddler when he runs - With both McVey and Kingsbury on screen so mich I could smell the Axe body spray through the TV -AJ Green can still play - I don't know what it is but I could easily see both these teams going 1 and done in the playoffs despite all the big moves they both made.

It's really not more ridiculous than wanting to move him somewhere else.

Problem there is we have no Deebo. Outside of Allen and Diggs we have zero big play guys. I think Gabe Davis could be but they had to sign Sanders and limit Davis (who also had an early season ankle injury). As far as McD...he needs to show people HE'S tough. Teams often pick up on what a coach is and who he is as a person. As much as I hate Mike Vrabel, the dude is tough and his team feeds off of it. He shows more confidence in Ryan Tannehill than McD shows in Josh Allen to pick up 3 yards on a big spot. This team will continue to shrink in big moments until McD grows some balls and starts believing in his players. And in his 5th year coaching this team if he still doesn't have players the can believe in then there are some really big issues that need to be addressed IMO.

Pretty wrong. Maybe make him LOSE 20 pounds and have him play corner. Or keep the weight and switch him to FB? Perhaps have him lose 30, then gain 20 then donate a kidney, adopt a kid from the Christmas tree at Walmart and buy him presents for Christmas and them ses if that translates into a good punter.

The narrative that the Bills can't run is slightly overblown. They can...they just almost refuse to do so. Singletary has been good with opportunities. Not just yesterday, but most of the season. Coaches have just insisted that our RB position needs to be a rotation. Most teams that have a RBBC approach will get their RBs involved early and if someone shows they have the "hot hand" will feed them for the rest of the game. Not Buffalo. Games where we do see Singletary do well early they switch him out for Breida or Moss or Allen called runs or they will just turn to the pass. That's a flaw in coaching philosophy. Be it McD or Daboll that wants it that way it needs to end.

It's on interesting question and I think a case can be made both ways. First concern is always a players health. If Josh will risk further damage it's smart to sit him out this week. With the playoffs still within reach we need him healthy for that. Also, perhaps Trubisky actually plays well and we still win the game. Could possibly drive up his FA value resulting in a nice comp pick (unless Beane gows on a spending frenzy and cancels it out). Could result in a nice 3rd-4th rounder to help rebuild the lines. On the other hand we still have to stack some wins to even make the playoffs. So we need Allen out there because he is really the only gamebreaking talent we have on offense that can just take a game over and dominate. Right now, until an update comes out it's all hypothetical anyway. But we will have to do whatever it takes to win the next one.

Injuries really sapped him of his speed. I love me some John Brown. Fun player to watch. However there is a reason he has been on it least 3 other teams this year and can't stick. Father Time caught him.

Because aside from Lamar's HC...all the other QBs you mention have HCs that come from the offensive side of the ball. More aggressive...understand more the flow of offense. Heck the Colts with Wentz and the Titans with Tannehill would go for it there too.
