Agree, The defense scheme has pretty much failed every post season, yet we continue to roll out the same soft zone / contain style defense annually, at some point one would think that some modifications for the post season are in order. I as well think Shaw66 in correct in how he describes how Josh can be a better QB for the team, that does not mean it Josh’s fault all the time, it just means he could stand to improve an aspect of his craft, just as our post season defense could stand improvement…, when a team is good like the Bills, it’s the incremental improvements that will put them over the top, jmo.

And there in lies the rub,

It’s not so much the players, but more so the defensive play calling, and the soft zone / contain style defense that needs adjustments in the post season, especially in the last half of the fourth quarter, where the current scheme/ play calling fails with regularity. We have all watched our opponents offense march down the field and handle the Bills defense with apparent ease. Either the coach is screwing up or the players are screwing up, and both are on the coaches to fix. Me, imo it is the soft zone / contain style defense that needs changing under those circumstances, jmo.

Actually folks like me predicted the NFL would become major league college ball years ago, and it has, and will continue to do so, put that in your pipe and smoke it, lol. you’re going to die on this sword aren’t you…, 😁👍 and yes NFL coaches have been forcing square pegs into round holes for a long time, that’s why so many teams continuously under achieve…,

So I take it you feel that you’re the first guy to think of this, and that no kicker, or STs coach has ever given any consideration to this hypothetical premise? Next thing ya know you will propose a kitchen sink disposal and make millions, millions I say…, I so do love this board, it shows I’m not the only one with “Ideas” 😁👍

I agree that that coaching is very important, as an example, look at the UConn mens basketball team, Hurley has turned that program into a juggernaut. Having a group of the right guys is more important than having one guy who is elite, I believe that Samuel will be good, I also believe he will be even more effective with a quality #2 boundary guy forcing defenses to spread their coverage out over a larger area of the field, jmo.

For the most part I agree with what you’re getting at, the flaw with the Bills defense is regardless of who we roster we play the same soft coverage / contain zone defense, that has its well noted flaws. As to offensive weapons, a more dynamic #2 boundary guy with better hands would make the entire offense more effective, especially with the style of offense the Bills always seem to play, that is the missing piece. Yes we have a variety of perceived needs at various positions, but we tend to cut this particular corner when it comes to filling out the offense. We haven’t had nearly as dynamic a WR group since Brown and Beasley were playing well, it’s past time to fill that Brown spot on the roster, we have the slot well filled, again jmo.

Brilliant!

Hamlin has fallen for one of the classic blunders, much like getting involved in a land war in Asia, or going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line…, He makes himself look the fool by responding at all…, never wrestle with pigs son…,

Agree, I have not seen this Josh “hate” that this thread is about. You put it nicely and to the point about Allen’s play, when Josh gets the consistency down he will then have a real chance to win it all with the Bills, until then he will be a very good quarterback that “may” not win it all during his career, jmo.

So in other words, what y’all are saying is that the product is mediocre at best…,

No he doesn’t,

Bet he’s banging his moms girl friends,

Happens every post season, and our good but not great HC runs back the same scheme every post season, and just can’t wrap his mind around making changes so its less likely to happen again. I like McDermott. He and Beane dragged the Bills kicking and screaming out of a 17 year long sh-t show, and I for one truly appreciate that effort, but its time Sean makes some adjustments for Christ sake, jmo feel free to disagree at your leisure.

I thought he was a Blues guy from the 1940s

Okay, not sure what you’re getting at, in response to my response to another poster but whatever, 😁👍

The phrase, “ Florida Man” exists for a reason…, it covers the entire range of social and economic life down there,

True enough, part of how I see it is that we need a guy who can pull coverage in their direction to help free up other receivers, something that imo was lacking from out 2nd boundary receiver the last couple seasons. Frankly I don’t care how Beane gets the guy, as long as it happens.

If that were to happen and Beane actually has a trading partner, and we get the wideout we need…, I don’t care how it is achieved, as long as it happens, like I said, opportunity is knocking.

I hope to continue my streak of never having seen a hard knocks show, I like football for the games, not the nonsense. Like the Fleetwood Mac lyrics say, “ Players only love you when they’re playing”…,

I sure hope so, opportunity is knocking and I’d like to think Beane is gonna open the door at 28, and invite in our next WR weapon. But sadly I am ready for the disappointment of yet another rotational D-line guy…for our ever so vaunted post season defense…,

Yeah, but is she gettin any…,

Ya know, He could be saying exactly what he is gonna do, knowing full well that nobody is gonna believe a word of it, me, I expect to be completely disappointed when we take another receiver in the fifth round so that Justin Shorter has somebody to hangout with…,

Speaking of Bills fans, I talked to a woman in full Bills regalia today at the Publics grocery store on sea island parkway in Beaufort SC, we chatted up the team a bit she moved here 23 years ago, was raised and lived in Cuba NY, the cashier thought we were cute, and ya know I think we were, 😁👍 I’m thinking this is more interesting than this thread, but it could just be me…, 😁🍸🚬

There is essentially no need to do so, we can get an acceptable WR at 28 in this draft,
