I would like to nominate this for post of the year.

Exactly. The correct answer was obviously Betty White.

Even a guy like Vontaze Burfict knows there is too much money on the table to act a fool for them to attack an older guy in a position over them. Him kicking a player was wrong and he was dealt with. Lambo (or anyone) would suffer repercussions as well if they struck back in any way. And they know this. I'm not sure why you are struggling with this.

I love how you speak in absolutes without knowing who would have done what. Again, the projection. I have spoken to everyone here and we all agree...you are a big tough guy that would "push back" on a guy nearly 3 times your age and in much worse shape. We are all very impressed and in awe of your uber masculine nature. John Wayne would be proud.

What type of film does your projector use anyway? While it's wonderful to have delusions of grandeur that these players would go Attitude Era Stone Cold Steve Austin on Meyer...that's really not what would happen or DOES happen. You think this is an isolated case? Adorable. There are times on society that something happens and everyone learns a lesson. Latrell Sprewell was that lesson. When you have millions of dollars on the line there is no chance that a athelete is going to risk that by putting his hands on his coach (at 57 years of age) unless he is mentally unstable to begin with. Would be the most asinine way to kill your career.

Link? They may have handled it differently but there is no way any of them would have gone Latrell Sprewell on him. Too much money at risk. I almost feel like you are projecting here.

And I'm certain they would. There is absolutely no scenario where Miles Jack or any of them put hands on a 57 year old guy and look justified unless their life is being legitimate threatened.

We didn't lose to Urban Meyer. We lost to a guy cheesed off for being known as "Other" Josh Allen. He took that opportunity personally and wrecked the Bills.

See, you keep lumping me in and assuming I'm just here to trash the team. I am not. I just don't feel the need or obsession to agree with everything they have done and spin it to a positive. When praise is due I have no issues praising as well as you could see if you dig into my post history. No where....and I mean nowhere have I ever said we need to "tear it all down" or that Beane and McD need to go. I am starting to have questions if they can complete the job they started based on descisions they have made. There is a large contingent on here that blindly follows (In Beane we trusters/Beane's a wizard) and supports everything. And if that works for them...cool. Have fun. Now, your topic of bad things that had happened last yer...5 of those ended up being wins. A few losses. In every instance there it came down to execution, as you said. Even still the only one there that was just plain luck landed in a loss to a heck of a play in the Hail Murray. Call that one 80% luck 20% lack of our top 3 DBs not executing....IMO. Not so much the case this year. There was no ball bouncing luck in the Pittsburgh loss. I suppose one could argue Josh's slip against the Titans...but even if he doesn't slip I'm pretty certain Simmons still stops him short. This year is not about lack of luck...it's about lack of....YES...talent. It's about coaches not making smart calls. Presnap penalties. None of that as on the bouncing of the ball. Also, please tell me where I called this team "trash". I didn't nor have I ever. Again...you make assumptions based on your own ignorance on what I post. I said to name bright spots and took the 2 obvious ones away. You oddly didn't name any...you chose to invent new things I said instead. Here's a freebie for you. Gabe Davis. Guy is a playmaker that needs to see the field more. Here's another...Devin Singletary. Guy is popping off an average of 4.9 YPC even behind this line. Of course neither are used as close to full time players. I'm sorry that my views are that this oline and the descision to "run it back" with them will cost this team a promising season. I'm sorry that I view the choice to carry so many DL and rotate them so often and carry so many ST only players is a bad use of roster space. I'm sorry that I wasn't happy about Bobby Hart and Forrest Lamp being signed. I understand the thought process...just never agreed with it. And you know what....I'm allowed to think that. There are great reasons to be optimistic about next year if good upgrades are made. The Chiefs completely revamped their line in 1 years and (after a few rough weeks) they are coming together in time for the playoffs. Who knows...maybe our oline figures out how to block and give Allen time and we go on a run. Based on what I have seen this year...I don't see it happening though. This team is 7-6 because they have played like a 7-6 team. Period. That is who this team is to this point of the season. Once we got through the 1st 5 games (where, yes we played teams that we could stack wins on...so good work sealing the deal.)we spun out of control again at tougher teams....like the ones we will see on the playoffs. To win it all this year (and yes...that should be the goal after the success they had last year) the coaches and players have a lot of work to do to improve. Again...that is my opinion based on what I have seen while playing and watching football. Impossible? Not at all. Remember Joe Flacco's "elite" Super Bowl run? It could happen for sure. But games are won in the trenches...and both sides of our line have issues.

You include it. The story of the NFL or the Buffalo Bills isn't complete without OJ's accomplishments. The story of OJ isn't complete without his post career incidents. He should be included and he should be both recognized for the player he was and the person the became.

I believe it's fair to say that anything MAY be possible...no matter how improbable it seems.

All those guys have a combined 2 Super Bowl wins. Main reason they don't have more IMO is that they were not given enough talent to surround them. Much like Allen this season. Perhaps he goes on a Joe Flacco-like playoff run and single-handedly wills the Bills to victory for the next 8 games. Heck, he almost did it against the Bucs on Sunday. While I can admit (and hope) anything is possible, I believe it is also fair to point out that it is at the very least improbable.

"People like me" are pissed we are down to a 7% chance. And rightfully so. You have literally wiffed on every single assumption on me worse than Brandon Beane wiffed on his "run it back" idea with this offensive line. Your entire post is spent telling me what I "probably" would say. You provide zero counter opinion, add absolutely nothing pro or con to what I was saying. Not everyone needs to be of single and simple mind to say "Yes! Love everything this team does". This season isn't and hasn't been a matter of the "ball landing the wrong way". This season has been about missed opportunity due to not improving on what we had last year. If your have a differing opinion...please...enlighten us all as to all of the glowing bright spots not named Allen or Diggs. Or just keep being content to be in the playoffs. Some just expect a bit more.

We sent them they Jags and now the Jets? No wonder foreign countries hate us so much😂

Might be time for a new prescription. 😂😂

It's not and enigma, though. It's a team that has walloped bad teams and lost to good ones. The 1 and 8 are really nice and I know right now thats what people need to cling to. But this isn't a team that has been talented enough to win close game. This isn't a team that can win in the trenches against good teams. Also, I find it absolutely ridiculous that many are yelling about the "stats say". Watch the game! Stats are not universal. We have played quite a few games this year against back up QBs and in bad weather that limited offenses without a QB with an arm like Allen. However almost weekly we see that "top defense" exposed with big plays, bad penalties, not coming up with a step when you NEED it. On offense...great...wow what a ranking. Now look up their red zone numbers. Look up where this line is rated. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that all of these issues will be solved just because....well it's playoff time.

Takes a bit more than just a QB to win in the post season. How many games haa Rodgers lost in the post season where he was the better QB? Brees? Marino? Fact is Allen is dangerous. Our oline will be the Achilles Heel....as we have seen all year long. It's wonderful that we have a "top 10" offense and defense. Even with that we are still 3-5 in our last 8 games and pretty lucky to have the Panthers, Falcons and Jets as 3 of our last 4. We will again feed of bad teams and most likely be 1 and done when it matters if this season has been any indication. However, yes once post season starts anything "can happen".

John Cena is also rumored to be in the photo.

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?
