I never disputed the pass rush wasn't better with Von. I'm not that foolish. The point is he wasn't on the field. The Bills invested all kinds of high draft picks on the pass rush. Where were they once Von went down? Have they produced? Von shouldn't even have been needed if Beane drafted the right guys or the organization developed players. Perhaps a different scheme. Whatever the reason it's clear the Bills have issues in the trenches. Hard to win that way vs quality teams. You saw Cinci with back ups throttle the Bills.

The Bills beat KC and still lost the number one seed to them. At some point you might want to examine what KC is doing right. At some point you might want to ask what is Cinci doing right? At some point you might want to ask why are the Bills falling short in the playoffs? Six years and counting with Allen and not nearly enough playoff success. Why???????? Or are you satisfied with nice regular season records and playoff births? Look at Diggs and Allen's reactions and post comments afterwards. Clearly, both are very disappointed. Some could say they are beginning to question the Bills organization and their decisions.

That's a fair statement. How did that work out?

Pretty shallow point of view here. What was the goal and expectation of the team? Sure you can point to the injuries and all the circumstances that occurred during the year. I think most Bills fans are pretty salty and disappointed in how the year ended. When you have a top 5 QB an organization shouldn't be satisfied with a great regular season record. It's more about playoffs and super bowls. That's where the Bills fall woefully short.

They also have pending contracts to decide on with Edmunds and Poyer. The Von contract certainly doesn't help. Add on he's 34 and coming off a second knee injury. That's a whole nother discussion. Sure he can and will manipulate the numbers. Beane us fantastic at that. Point being he's still limited in his moves. Listen to his presser and what he said about Cinci.

Come on now. You can't do comparasions like that. It's severely flawed. Barkley is a top ten back and a skilled offensive weapon. He played on a Giant offense that jasca limited passing QB and WRs and a suspect OL. Most teams knew the ball was going to Barkley and he still produced. I'd argue Daboll probably got the best out of him. He most likely wouldn't have been nearly effective in a Dorsey run offense. Coaching matters.

I'm not saying that. I guess I'm asking why would you have confidence in the organization to get it right now under much more stringent circumstances? It also appears the AFC east foes have clearly closed the gap. Teams like Cinci, KC, and the Jags appear to be going in a forward projection while the Bills are going...

Did you see him play last year? He was very good.

I don't disagree with this. The real question is did Beane miss his opportunity? More specifically, Allen is six years in with the Bills. His rookie contract is over and now that big salary handicaps Beane's hands. He's pretty much admitted that. The time to solidify the oline was years ago. The time to get Allen explosive weapons was years ago. Beane has not gotten it done. Continually, the organization focused on the defense without much success. They failed on their Oline picks. I don't think it's a stretch to say the Bills organization has relied too much on Allen to get it done with insufficient weapons and protection. How likely is Beane and the Bills organization to get it right now with limited resources? That's a really tough ask. Lastly, I'd like to add that the coaching staff is suspect. The last two years of playoff failure clearly fails on the coaches, game planning, and schemes. I'm really surprised that they haven't made any significant changes. It's pretty disappointing

If he's there at 27 I think you have to take him. He would be the BPA by a huge margin. He could step right in and be a difference maker. He is on the level of Barkley. The Bills would be foolish to pass on his talent.

Let them both go.

Agree but you have to dismantle the coaching staff too. Fraizer defense can't get it done. Plain and simple. Dorsey is in over his head. McD can't take the team past a 1 win playoff game. Beane has made colossal errors in his draft picks. Handicapped the team for years to come. This organization needs to be cleansed. Do you want a 9-8 team next year that gives you false hope. False hope for years. Or break it down and rebuild to win it all? The way the Bills are approaching this season is merely to placate the fans. Fools gold. They will fall short again.

Exactly! I'll add the Chiefs got lucky, Mahomes is overrated because he has a great Oline, Reid wasn't that good because he sucked in Philly for years, McD will be the next Andy Reid, and Beane is a genius and I trust his judgement. The Bills will go 14-3 and win the Super Bowl next year. Allen will be the MVP. Rousseau will be the Defensive player of the year and McD will be coach of the year. How did I do?

You said it right there. The Chiefs exploited the Eagle defense. You have to give the Chiefs coaching credit for play calling recognizing the Eagles defense. Come on man be real. You are trying to minimize the Chiefs coaching staff. It was great play calling and execution.

"I absolutely agree we need to be more like KC...not saying copy what they do, but we need to inject a massive heaping of better creativity, better schemes, better situational awareness, and better use of personnel on both sides of the ball." How likely is that going to happen?

You think Beane and Dorsey would have taken advantage of the Eagles mistakes and scheme? I highly doubt it. Reid and Bienemy absolutely deserve credit. Stop with the hate.

I thought Daboll used him wisely. He got the ball sparingly and did mostly well with his limited touches. He proved last year he's not an everyday player. It's time to move on for McKenzie.

Absolutely! The Chiefs are going to be a dynasty team. They have everything the Pats had and more. Reid is an offensive genius. Mahomes is the next Tom Brady. GM Veech runs circles around Beane. Arguable he's the best GM in the league. There is no stopping this team. They traded away Hill and won with a suspect young defense and sub par WRs and RBs. The Mahomes and Allen comparasions should stop now. It's not fair to Mahomes who is wearing two rings. The Chiefs win and know how to win! The Bills simply don't when it comes playoff time. Next year will be more of the same.

Had to laugh when listening to Scott Farell. He stated the 12% rate increase was a lot for a team that doesn't win in the playoffs.

Because he's taking up a roster spot. You have to upgrade the position. He brings little to the table. Dorsey didnt utilize his skill set. Could be if the rookies are better players. Were you happy with the oline performance?

Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid. Allen and McD. Do the math...

Agree with Diggs. I've stated it repeatedly that the offense had no identity. It was hard to see a complete offensive solid game plan from Dorsey. Often the team ran the ball with success to abandon it later. Happen more often then it should of. Some experts like Sims and Cosell have criticized the offense. Saying the play calling didn't have cohesiveness. Felt like it was single play after single play with no congruent plan. Relying too much on Allen and backyard football. I think Diggs hints at a lot of this. Dorsey is not a strength of the team. He's a work in progress and last year he severely hurt the team. That was very clear in the Miami and Cinci game. The Bills should have gone after a much more experienced OC. (Josh shouldn't be calling the shots) The team was in win now mode. The favorites to win it all. With that in mind, you don't hire a rookie with no experience. He was in over his head. This organization continues to make critical errors. It looks like Dorsey and Fraizer are here to stay another year. I think it's a good bet to say the errors continue. Can anyone have confidence in these two coaches? Listen to Farrell on the radio last night. Sadly, he summed it up pretty well. He was talking to Mike Carver his side kick from Buffalo. Told him he feels bad for him. He wants Buffalo to win to end Carver's pain. Farrell stated the Bills are like the Denver Nuggets. A good team that never wins anything. I couldn't help but not in agreement. Carver high was pretty quiet. Nothing more to say. The truth hurts sometimes. I

Very well stated. I couldn't agree more. 👍👍👍👍👍 Just because he's a former player doesn't give him anymore credibility in my eyes. Unless, he had some inside information and input from current players and coaches. I highly doubt it.

Lazzard is too expensive. McKenzie should be gone. Save the little money and find someone else. He's easily replaceable. The Bills have to make some key acquisitions in the WR area. Guys that are very serviceable and can step in and contribute. Allen should be able to make them better.

Does this apply to a 34 year old Von Miller? Or is it a different injury and recovery?
