I can honestly only remember one other Bill annihilating another player in the last 5 years that wasn’t Rapp related, and it was Edmunds going low on a gang tackle and bending Dane Jackson in half

If the Bills pass on Coleman and the Pats take them, are the Pats still leading the division today?

How many cracks do we give McD at it until we let someone else try? At what point do you say, "maybe he's not capable." We are approaching 10 years. we also don’t have the kind of QB that 30 other teams have. Yes, the Jets and Browns also don’t win the Super Bowl. That’s not really relevant to our situation.

Meh I completely disagree. 2024 felt that way because Josh was basically playing at a transcendent level from the Houston game on. He was still needing to scramble out of the pocket to hit long shots to Shakir or Mack Hollins to get the offense going. He just was playing as perfect as an NFL QB can play. The difference between 2024 and 2025 is that teams respect us deep even less and have done their darnedest to take away Josh’s explosive plays made by his legs. Combine that with Josh not being able to maintain playing basically perfect, and you get a laborious offense despite being captained by a superstar. go back and watch 2020 Bills film. It was pitch and catch for Josh. He still did incredible things and made incredible plays, but his life was so much easier down to down.

Folks just don’t follow the NFL. NBA is different because imo HCing in that league is like 95% managing personalities. They think this regime is uniquely discriminated against with expectations. Like there hasn’t been unrest behind Harbaugh for the last 5 seasons for the Ravens not breaking through. They don’t think that’s the case because they don’t pay attention and exclusively follow the Bills. When you have a top tier elite QB, the expectation is more than “we won the division.”

I think you failed to see the parallel. Mike McCarthy + Aaron Rodgers for their first 10 seasons missed the playoffs only one time. The first year Rodgers was starting. Does that sound familiar? McCarthy is fine. Good coach, sure. He’s nothing special. Neither is McDermott. Rodgers was special. Josh is special. A lot of these McD fans are whistling past the graveyard imo. 10 years from now, no one will admit to being a McD or Beane fan. Just like no one admits to being a big Marrone fan, or Rex Ryan fan or Tyrod Taylor fan. McD and Beane are going to go down in history as our Pagano/Grigson. The shine of backing into the playoffs that one time with Tyrod and Kyle Williams will wear off eventually.

Here’s an @HappyDays timeline. 2021: “The Bills can’t rely on guys like Manny Sanders come January, they will recognize they need to shore up the WR position” 2022: “The Bills realized that cast offs like Harty and Sherfield aren’t enough, they will invest more in WRs around Josh” 2023: “the bills have realized that Diggs + Gabe isn’t enough. They will add more WRs” 2024: “The Bills got this far with Mack Hollins leading the snap count. There’s NO WAY they will run back a similar group again.” 2025: ????????

lol what evidence do you have that McD is any better than a Mike McCarthy

You say this every year lol. It ain’t gonna happen.

They are legitimately talking about letting LaFleur and the GM go and neither got extensions pending this season. Follow the league one time for me. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/packers-wont-extend-contracts-of-brian-gutekunst-matt-lafleur-before-this-season ”That means LaFleur and Gutekunst are expected to either have contract extensions this time next year or the Packers will fire them after the 2025 season”

That’s not the way it actually went though. Kelvin was a notorious bad attitude guy. He had 1900 yards in 2 seasons and was shipped off the Panthers. He had weight problems. He came to Bills and refused to learn the playbook or where to line up. He was a bit better than Coleman but he was still a big slow from FSU with attitude problems. Like I said, Beano has a type.

A Kelvin Benjamin clone in more ways than one. Cant say Beano doesn’t have a type

Between Knox’s and Hawes’ performances, I have no complaints on not using Kincaid more. With soft tissue stuff, you have to be careful

Their OL is a COMPLETE mess. its no coincidence the last time the Chiefs offense was lethal is when they had Orlando Brown who, while not an All-Pro, is at least an NFL caliber quality OT. Season after season, Mahomes has gotten beat up and as a result, has gotten happy feet and gotten sloppy. We take it for granted with Josh (who also can sometimes fall victim to getting beat up and it affecting his play) but it’s clearly worn on Mahomes. Veach isn’t a bad GM, but his decision to prioritize IOL over OT while Kelce rapidly aged out of being a quality safety outlet is backfiring. couldnt happen to a nicer group of guys. What a shame.

Great company for our coach
