We're getting Allen cheap. Look at the money we've paid Miller, Hoecht, Samuel & Palmer not to mention extending a bunch of our own draft picks. The money has been there but the choices may not have been the best. But hey, maybe Bean can get the Jets to give the Bills their five 1st round picks for Allen. That will solve the "Allen problem" some of you people think exists.

People can criticize Allen all they want. But anyone who thinks Allen is even a small part of the problem doesn't know football.

The truth is going to be hard for us Bills fans to accept but going forward Meathead will out coach McD in head to head meetings as well as over the course of a season. And the Pats front office will outperform the Bills front office.

Agree and we are not out of the division race yet. Twice in the last 5 seasons we have been further out of first place at this point in the season as we are today. But here's the ugly truth about what this loss and the NE win tell me about the future: we MIGHT squeak out one more division title but while Josh Allen will be a better QB then Drake Maye during the next 5 years the gap will not be that big. But the gap between the Patriots Head coach and McD will be wide as a chasm. The Pats will also be a much better run operation then the Bills.

To be fair: * McD did not let them exploit the Bishop pick when he punted on 4th and half a yard. * The 2nd pick had as dumb a block in the back as you will see in an NFL game that moved the ball back to inside the Bills 15 yard line.

I don't have the time or inclination to track that down. I just wasted over 3 hours watching that mess. I only know that in the moment going for it seemed like the right thing to do and as the game played out the Dolphins never came close to stopping the tush push.

Don't get me started on that play. It was clear the Bills were going to pass it on 4th down and the Dolphin TO at the snap ruined a chance to surprise Miami. That Brady went back to a pass on the very next play was what a bad High School coach does. It was obvious that the Miami coaches reminded the D that it was okay to let the Bills convert the 4th down on a 2 yard gain at midfield but unacceptable to let them trick you for a 50 yard TD. That pass play had ZERO chance to trick Miami. That they ran it was astonishingly stupid.

4th and 2 is not the same as 4th and half a yard. In this game the Bills had a great opening defensive series and I believe Allen had a 95% of converting that 4th down with a tush push. It would not have taken much to get Miami to fold their hand. And if the Bills didn't get it Miami drives 40 yards for a TD in half the time they used to drive 92 yards for the TD after the Bills punt.

I know this may not be a popular take but IMO when McD refused to go for it on 4th & half a yard on the Bills first possession it set a tone that the Bills never recovered from. KC, Detroit, Baltimore, NE, and a half a dozen other teams would have rolled the dice there.

I fully expect the Bills to rally and win this game. But with that said and knowing I'll be right back on the bandwagon drinking the kool aid if they do win the game it's abundantly clear to me that McD & Brady are at best mediocre. After the Bills gave away that they were going to throw a pass on 4th & 1 they came right back and tried to throw a pass the next play is the stuff of bad High School football. The fact is the Dolphins would rather give up 2 yards and the 1st down then let you beat them downfield for a TD. There was NO way a pass was going to work there.

I'm an Ohio State fan and if the Jets were smart they would wait for Sayin. That kid is impressive. And if they really manage all those picks wisely they might be able to land the Buckeyes great WR Jeremiah Smith. They could swap their likely #1 pick this season for enough draft capital to enable them to get the first 2 picks in 2027.

As an aside I wasn't being sarcastic I was actually excited that we might get a healthy Milano for the rest of the season. When he's healthy he is still a force on defense.

On a positive note, Milano is NOT on the injury report.

To put it in perspective that 30 million plus audience was 3 million MORE then the audience for the 7th game of the World Series! And they included Canadian viewers in the world series numbers.

These are good points. The Bills were locked in their own version of the movie Groundhog Day and the only way out was to change things completely. The problem is that with the CAP and drafting stricture of the NFL changing things completely in a short period of time is almost impossible. The Bills chose to do it on the offensive side of the ball by reinventing what they do and changing how they would use their elite unicorn of a QB. I've seen this type of change play out over several seasons as a teams elite QB ages but I have never seen it done in less the one season with the elite QB at his prime. Like others it makes me uncomfortable because I've been conditioned to see Allen play a certain way and when he's on he's unstoppable and it's exciting as hell. But this just seems weird to me. However, you can't deny the results over the last 25+ games.

IMO, that's a big IF. The question is are the Colts the 2021 Rams and is Danial Jones Matthew Stafford? They think so but I don't. Two 1st round picks is a lot of draft capital for a corner back who has not played great the last 2 seasons.

One thing that they haven't mentioned while talking about the 470 yards and 4 TD's is that Flacco also threw 2 INT's and he lost a fumble. Burrow is likely to have had less TO's to go along with his high end production.

I agree and with both Palmer & Davis likely to be in the mix soon only a guy like Waddle would have moved the WR bar.

Jones just had a FIVE TURNOVER game, 5! They're taking a huge gamble here because if Jones is not the guy the loss of those two 1st round picks will prove devastating. As it is even if Jones is the guy that was a very steep price to pay for a corner that hasn't looked that good over the last 2 seasons.

Doing nothing is better then doing bad deal.

To be fair Deebo knows how to make those gadget plays work. It's clear that Brady wants to run them but Knox & Moore were not getting it done.

It's almost as if they're load managing Kincaid. Why have him block and get worn down when they have Knox, the Rookie and Gillum?

It's going to be tough for the Chargers as they may have lost both starting tackles. Alt had another high ankle sprain and I heard that it might need surgery. We complain about Bill's injury's but there are a lot of teams that have had it worse then us.

And hitting 10 different receivers with a pass is pretty rare. The return of Palmer will also open up things downfield.

Bishop has been on an upward trend since week 1 so I don't think it's a blip. He may not put up stats like this every week as some of that was a function of how KC plays offense but I think the guy has arrived. That critical INT against NO opened my eyes as to what he could do mentally & physically against the pass.
