Doing a sequel of a movie that always repeats is Brandon Beane level witchery. 😆

2021 at 7-6 people are questioning if this team has what it takes to make the playoffs. We finish 4-0, parlayed with the perfect game, many think this team is Super Bowl bound. They go onto lose to KC in the divisional round 2022 at 6-3, suffering B2B losses and playing poorly, people are questioning if this team is really as good as they say. We finish 7-0, many think this team is Super Bowl bound. They go onto lose to Cincinnati in the divisional round 2023 at 6-6 people are not thinking we will make the playoffs. We finish the year the year 5-0, many think this team is Super Bowl bound. They go onto lose to KC in the divisional round 2024- What could happen?!?! I'm going to play spoiler for you, we will go onto to finish the year as AFC East champions. We will win in the Wild Card round. When the season ends half of the board will talk about how incredible it was to win another AFC East championship and what a great job McD did in holding this team together. The other half will point out that we haven't been able to get past the divisional round more than one time since Josh Allen was our QB. Meanwhile Terry will not give a flying F because at the end of the day his business is a very successful and his customers (you) keep on buying what McD and Beane are selling. What appears to be a complete lack of progress as a franchise is nullified by our ability to overcome our own midseason ineptitude and you (the fans) ability to completely forget that ineptitude ever happened. By the time we complete this annual circle jerk we have completely forgotten the moment we are in right now and how in the course of being one of the most dominant regular season teams in the past 4 years we find ourselves in this exact moment over and over and over. Eventually we will be riding that eternal high which is a 4-8 game winning streak into the postseason only to be smacked down under the camouflage of a billion excuses when the only clear answer is we just aren't good enough. -Our HC who is drawing on near historic levels of regular season success to playoff ineptitude is not good enough -The controllable no experienced internal coordinators he has brought in are just not good enough -The excessive early extensions that led to cap hell, the lack of attention to WR's across multiple teams, the lack of elite talent at any level, using a franchise QB as leverage to not have to provide further weapons is.....say it with me...... JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH Why would it change? Our fans largely support the leaders of this organization. Why in gods name would Terry go thru the trouble of trying to get new leadership in place for this team? He is not going to be the agent of change and if the fans aren't going to be either, nothing will be. Hope is always what we have had as a fan base and this is becoming one of the most hopeless times I have felt as a Bills fan that I can remember. At least when we sucked all of us knew we needed to do something about it. Nobody questioned that change was needed. It's worse when you feel like we need to do something about it but half the people are saying no, it's ok, it's good enough.

I don't know if I agree with all your points, but no question, the Jets can crush our souls. They have already done so in New York B2B years. This would give them first place in the AFC east. That has got to excite them a whole lot. Meanwhile, it seems more like a secondary prize for us as we should have at least gotten one of the last two. I'm not sure I would make the Bills a favorite here. They're only -2.5, but to me this is even money. Hope I'm wrong.

Then he would be fired the last two years we traveled to NYC

The Jets game is 50/50 and the KC game is 50/50. We have no business losing any of the others.

We can't win close games. Which the playoffs are outside the wild card.

Good thing it's usually blow outs in the playoffs

Wow, that was for the cover ATS as well.

100%, that ball to Hollins was over the opposite shoulder. So he needed to be at absolute top speed, reverse shoulders, and nearly catch directly over him. Would have been an incredible catch. People don't understand you can't see above your helmet. It needs to be on the shoulder to track the damn thing. The ball to Coleman on the sidelines might be a result of a bad route but it wasn't there. He missed several others today as well. He did have a few drops yes. It went both ways as it usually does. It was one of his worst performances since his rookie year. Josh is looking physically beat to hell and it might be entering his brain at this point. He's still the entire franchise and then some but the lengths people will go to in order to never critique him is just bonkers. Not good that we have the Jets next week. They have made him see ghosts plenty of times before. A roll over opponent is really needed for some confidence.

Must be AI. Burn it down.

He should have several years OTJ here to suck as much as possible. Get that learning in.

We just need to bring in Chase and Jefferson and he will have what he needs

Why are we hiring somebody that needs to learn on the job to the extent where we can use that to justify poor performance? He was a coordinator for the Panthers for two years as well. Just not an excuse.

Marty did it 6 times in a row in the 90's

If that's all that matters we wouldn't still have McD

Brady has not been successful as a coordinator at the NFL level and his success at the college level came with Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. This was enough for Sean to move forward with him. As many pointed out on this forum it looked like a control style hire. Brady would not oppose his style like a Daboll might. He was a controllable coach. It's not like Buffalo is this offensive factory of genius. All these guys came from the school of Josh Allen. The fact that we won't go outside the organization is why we are here and that is all on Sean.

The biggest advancement Brady gave to this offense was in the screen game and run game. If Josh isn't going to run a lot, we need plays that will manufacture 3-6 yards and keep us on schedule. Teams are starting to target the screen game. Didn't work a lick vs Baltimore or Houston. It resulted in a ton of wasted plays and play behind the sticks. We got down in both games, and really, we aren't a power rushing team. The run is opened up more by our ability to throw and we can't threaten anybody in the air right now. The WR's just don't have that ability. No downfield threats either. Look at how Houston nearly imploded without Nico Collins. I like Keon, but we needed a downfield threat in the draft like Thomas or Worthy. Keon will be a good player but he's the type of WR that the old Carolina Panthers would have brought in the fold. The Funchess or Benjamin style WR and you need those guys, but they all can't be those guys. They need a Ted Ginn Jr or Steve Smith to make it work. Then last but not least or offensive line has regressed dramatically in pass protection. Allen was jittery today and playing faster than he needed to on several occasions. Hard to blame him when he's pressured like he has been the last two weeks.

Easy game at a place we haven't won since 2021.

This is what the fans want. Look at how they reacted to the Tyler Dunn piece. How do you think they would react to a piece that is critical of Beane? If I was a betting man it will go full circle again. At some point this year fans will be talking about how we turned it around and Beane is a witch. We will likely win our division and get a bit of excitement for the postseason. Eventually we will exit, most likely in the divisional around, because we just aren't good enough to move any further. We don't have the talent and we don't have the coaching. This has been going on for years now. Our fan base needs to wake up. The Bills only support press that gives them layups and the fans keep eating it up. If you expect Terry to be the one that initiates change please have another. It will only happen when the fans demand it.

4 years at 52 million. Is it the end of the world to sign some of our guys after the contract runs out? It helps us get a feel for market value and gives us more time to find out if they have a serious injury or if they still fit in future plans. Beane needs to look at waiting as an investment in more information. Instead he tries to sign everybody early so it's cheaper vs a higher cap but when you do that your risk becomes dead cap hit from decisions made with less information.

It very don't ask don't tellish

We get to play a Jets team for first place in the division next week at a place we haven't won since 2021.

Not that far backed up.

He out kicked the coverage which we sort of needed him to do. If he doesn't they would be in field goal range. The punt in that spot was excellent.
