Why does our defense consistently suck at 3rd and long?

Defense playing like this is the playoffs.

What didn’t you like about it?

Picked up by the Chiefs in 3…2…

Reread my post.

If you stagger void years to all of your high priced players you can, in theory, perpetually kick the can down the road.

But void years do, LOL.

Not if you keep kicking the can with void years.

$160M in cap hits of his $255M contract comes from void years. 2029 is a $97M void year. The NFL needs to rid itself of void years, it pretty much equates to not having a cap.

Whatever a desperate team thinking he is the missing piece is willing to pay 😝 Who the Bills were 1/2 of a yard away from losing too.

To assess fringe players are non starters is about all pre season is good for.

The Steelers need to tank for a franchise QB.

59-29=30M over the cap even with a roll over. If they sign Aiyuk say good bye to a big chunk of the 30M roll over. Now you want to fit JOK and Aiyuk’s 55M combined AAV onto a 35-40M 2025 overage without having a backup QB, K, and a plethora of other holes to fill. I guess it’s possible, I just don’t see it.

Bills tickets and gear??

With what $

Cleveland would still absorb all of the void year cap hits and would save a whopping $1M in cap space in 24 by trading Cooper (not happening). So you’re thinking they will trade / sign for Aiyuk at $30M per? They better have like 5 void years.

He counts $22.5M against there cap in a void year in 2025. Please explain how adding a $30M player to the roster when they are $50M over the cap for 25 is going to work. They still . They still will want to sign JOK, and Jedrick Willis and will need to sign a backup QB.

Doubt it, Browns are $56M over the cap for next year and have Cooper and Judy under contract for the next few years.

Gabe Dropavis will not be missed.

Because every OC he’s had has been a a steaming pile of 💩. Let’s hope Brady is the exception.

Now I think you’re just playing devils advocate. 13 seconds? 15 yard cushion on 3rd and 6 on crucial Bengals playoff possession? The Bills heads weren’t in the game, no one showed up, our defense had too many injuries, Bass sucks…I’m tired of the BS excuses like no other team in the NFL endures drama and hardships. The teams resiliency and mental fortitude falls squarely on the HCs ability to manage and lead. The season turned around when Brady took the offense over. He figured out that we could actually develop a dominant rushing attack, extend drives, and control the pace of the game. The defense did not make any major inseason scheme adjustments from my vantage point.

You’re right, it should have been a total blowout. Who is responsible for the game management and player conduct? McDermott doesn’t blow team out in the playoffs! He generates leads and then goes into a shell. He’s notoriously awful at making halftime adjustments and letting teams back in games with his play not to lose mentality. Last year we lost to the Jets 2nd string QB, Russell Wilson, MacJones, and 2 inches from losing to Tyron Taylor. All of those games we had 4th quarter leads and allowed these bottom of the barrel offenses to win / nearly win the game. McDermott is the defensive version of super-bowl 2nd half Shanahan.

Outcoached McDaniel? That was a razor thin victory against the Dolphins 3rd string QB?

Other than the Colts and Ravens playoff wins, what matchups did McDermott out coach his competition.

Sorry misread, 17 points on their last 4 drives…sounds like it was purely the bills offense that crapped the bed 😂
