Chaos

You have cause and effect completely reversed.

Since Allen is the Best QB in the NFL, the Bills would likely use the franchise tag twice if need be. But if Allen explained that he wanted a coaching change, or being let go to free agency, and the team did not want to make a coaching change, I would Josh become a free agent, he has earned that. And I would be extremely sad. ☹️

Is the DL really the biggest problem on defense. Benford is the only player on defense who could possibly Garner a first round or second round pick. Linebackers are either frequently injured or not very good. Tauron Johnson is a solid enough nickle back, but zero offenses are actually worried about him. personally I feel like the best defensive players available as free agents should be our targets. Sam for the draft. offense will be fine.

Between Coleman and McConkey and Worthy it is clear we should have taken Cooper Dejean

The Bills were flawed this year. So was every other AFC team. Eagle sort of showed how flawed the Chiefs were. No one expected the Jets Dolphins and Patriots to form the worst divisional opponents in the NFL. No expected the Bengals to flame out. The Bills did well to put themselves in position to go to the Super Bowl. And they choked the opportunity. Both of those things are true. The second is big disappointment for people. And its not the first time in recent memory it happened.

The people who post on this board probably represent the 1% of most passionate Bills fans. The other 99 percent of fans have real lifes. They stop thinking about hte Bills when the season is over. We are not a representative of the full fan base. Not even remotely. I enjoy conjecture on what could have been and what might be, more than most, but as long as the Bills win the NFL's crappiest division and occassionally McDermott gets to play as the Washington Generals to Andy Reid's Harlem Globetrotters, the Bills will be considered successful.

The following all seem to be true Tre White was awesome The 2021 defense was better than the 2024 defense Not have Tre White is one reason why the 2021 defense was better than then 2024 defense. Calling White's injury "the beginning" seems to conjur the concept that getting worse was inevitible. Three years is a long time in the NFL. Entire teams have been rebuilt from non-playoff teams to championship contenders in that time frame. Here are the 2021 Starters If you look at the front 6 or 7, it seems their 2021 performance was not much different than the 2024 performance. The difference was in the back 4 Hyde, Poyer and White were perfect fits for the scheme the Bills wanted to run. Might have been genius. Might have been luck. In 2021 this scheme was somewhat novel. In 2024, its fairly common and has been studied the committment to the scheme seems fairly absolute the idea that Rapp, Hamlin, Benford are going to provide anything close to White/Hyde/Poyer seems to border on the preposterous. I think the biggest problem is the lack of adaptability. An absolute committment to the scheme, requires a Don Quixote like search for some very specific talent set. Elam did not fit the talent set, (he also may simply not be talented). This was an unforced error by the Bills. I am not a football coach and not a GM. I don't have the exact answers. But it seems to me the Bills should consider some of the following: Evaluate what talents/traits are most commonly available in the draft and free agency. Develop schemes (plural on purpose) that have a deeper pool of players to pull from to fit the schemes Retool the balance between "finding players for the scheme" to "fitting the scheme to the players". Right now it seems to be 99%/1% on finding players for the scheme. This does not seem sustainable.

If he keeps going to the NFC championship game I expect he will stay.

Want to avoid these guys that play their best games in the playoffs.

Coleman was targeted more than me. I didn’t have a single drop this season.

Another way to tell was watching a the Jets game. Rodgers was awful.

In four seasons he has made the playoffs four times. The NFC championship twice and the Super Bowl once. Are you sure he is bad because this is not a good track record, more should be expected. Or not good per some “eye test”. OR something else?

Andy Reid is generally viewed as tops, in large part to being 2-1 in the last three super bowls. Siriani went to two of those three and is 1-1. Where do you place him in the pantheon of current NFL head coaches?

Many people seem to miss the point. No one is arguing that Worthy was good yesterday. A number of people are pointing out Worthy is one reason the Chiefs played yesterday and the Bills did not. This point is not arguable. It is factual.

So far its not arguable. Worthy stepped up to help the Chiefs advance further than the Bills. Coleman did not. The future may change this. But the past is settled.

I think we can agree, that none of the last three first picks, Elam, Kincaid and Coleman have not been huge contributers on the field. The pick prior to them, Gregory Rousseau had a decent year this year, but did not matter much for a couple of seasons. On the Eagles, Cooper Dejean and Quinyon Mitchell making meaningful contributions. Looking at the Bills, it just seems like one of two things must be true. A- The Bills coaches don't have a plan to incorporate the players into an important part of the team as rookies or B-They were not very good picks. Or a combination of both. I think the truth leans more towards A than B. I think this is potentially a meaningful handicap when comparing the top two teams each season to the top 8 teams each season.

To be fair the Bills offense blew away the Chiefs offense in the 2024-25 season. The problem, from my perspective, is that the Bills don't draft guys they even expect to make immediate impacts. Kindcaid and Coleman still need "development time". Whereas the Chiefs seemed to think they could put the fastest guy in combine history on the field and make an impact his rookie season. Frankyly with the benefit of hindsight the Bills did not need Coleman or Worthy, it needed Cooper DeJean.

To my eyes, it appears the Bills like to draft guys, that they hope to be worthy of a second contract. Some other teams seem to like guys who are going to significantly outperform their rookie contract costs. We will be trying to develop and grow Keon Coleman. Meanwhile guys like Zay Flowers, Tank Dell, and Xavier Worthy are likely to be used up and not worth a long term second contract. Rookies should be part of a "Win Now" strategy.

You base on this on your assumption is that the goal is to win a championship. Yet the stated goals from Beane and McDermott are too "compete for the championship". These two things are similar, but they are not the same.

There are restaurants with beautiful decors, attentive staffs who provide excellent service, and bad food. Changing the servers and staff doesn't solve the food problem. That needs a change in the chef.

To trade for deebo with that contract, I would want Deebo and a second for a 6th from the Bills

It turns out that for the past three years, the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line was funded by USAID.

I dont even understand what half of them are selling.

I would seriously prefer a Mariachi band.
