Bottom line is Reid has gotten it done while coach McD can't close the door. Further success isn't predicated on past failures. Some people just can't get it done. Until you can you will always play second fiddle. The criticisms are absolutely warranted. Reid will be going to the hall of fame meanwhile McD is know as a very good coach who choked the game away in 13 seconds. I might add that Daboll was most likely the key to much of McD success. In a way, he was riding his coat tails. Look at the Giants success and look how Allen is struggling. Scott if you took an unbiased poll I'd be confident in say that 90% of NFL fans and experts would choose Reid/Mahomes over McD/ Allen. Frankly, it's a no brainer. There you go with the name calling again. I answered your question and I did acknowledge that he had some good games.

I don't disagree with anything you said here. However, I don't think any of it is applicable to Tre. Why? The Bills are ultra conservative with players returning from injuries. It's safe to say they would be even more conservative with their best CB. The team has activated him, he's cleared to practice, and no reports Or signs of any set backs. Imho, it's a mental issue with Tre. Physically I thinks he's good to go. A mental hurdle isn't uncommon among athletes.

Come on Join stop with the Klein BS. We fans are a little too smart for what you are selling. We remember him. He filled in when Milano was hurt. He did have a couple of very nice games as well as some not so good ones. He was and is a back up for a reason. He was released from the Bills for a reason. Bills even drafted a LB. He was waived by the lowly Bears. A little dose of reality might go a long way. Yet, there are "village idiots" here. Have you looked in the mirror lately? You like to sling the name calling but when called out you go off on tangets via McKenzie, Shakir, and "one man doesn't stop a running game." Thanks for that clarification. So helpful. Maybe try to be a little less demeaning to others posts.

Are we talking about the AJ Klein who was waived by the elite Bear defense? If the truth hurts, people don't like the blunt truth, and blind homerism is being called out then I guess I'll gladly take the label.

A healthy Bills team including Hyde and Tre would make the Bills very difficult to beat. Imho, prior to the season's start the Bills had to best roster in the NFL. Fast forward to now and the Bills roster is decimented with key injuries. The teams weaknesses are being exposed. Klein won't stop Chubb. Klein isn't anything special so stop trying to sell his playmaking ability here. Hines can't even see the field on offense yet he's going to be the Bills slot receiver now. John you are living in fantasy land.

Have to disagree with you on the coaching comparassion. Reid is hands down a better coach than McD. Probably a hall of fame inductee. Very rarely will you see Reid get out coached. McD can be out coached on every given Sunday. Reid and Mahomes have the Super Bowl rings. McD and Allen can't even sniff an AFC Championship game. Sorry to say that combo Reid and Mahomes are clearly ahead of McD and Allen. The Bills have lost 2 playoff games in Arrowhead. The Bills regular season wins don't come close to making the score even. Good luck if you think Klien is going to contain Chubb. Only a village idiot would think he's going to be a difference maker this Sunday. Hines is not a slot teceiver. What are you smoking? If you are going to try to trash someone please do your homework. Stop embarrassing yourself.

He's on my hot seat. Does that count? How making one that says stop clapping and make some halftime adjustments.

Coaching makes a difference. Look at KC. They lose Hill and pick up a bunch on so so Wrs. They have no elite RBs and that offense still runs like a well oiled machine. Reid is a great coach and Mahomes is a proven winner whose done it for years now. The Bills were very fortunate to beat them in the regular season. Looks like the road is going through KC again. Not good for Buffalo that's even if they can get there.

This won't be a popular viewpoint here. I happen to agree with your viewpoint. The team is decimented with injuries, both sides of the ball have issues, several players just haven't stepped up as anticipated, and the coaching staff is sub par. Very strange season that seemingly is drifting away as the season progresses. This team is vulnerable and not as good as advertised from many reasons. The MVP QB is playing like a rookie, the injuries are getting insurmountable, players haven't stepped up, and the coaching staff might still be shell shocked from the 13 second fiasco. Sure, I'm hoping for a turn around. The Bills get a beatable Browns and Lions teams the next two weeks. If they lose to either team it's another huge blow to the team. This 6-3 team feels like a 500 team to me. I feel like the Dolphins and KC are better teams than the Bills. Balt, Cinci, Tenn, and a healthy SD are right next to the Bills. Jets and others are further behind.

This week we should find out if the Bills offense Can get back on track? They are playing a Cleveland defense that isn't very good. Hill and Waddle were kept in check for the most part. Looks like they made an effort to contain them. (I suspect they will do the same to Diggs.) As a result, the Dolphins were able to run the ball very effectively. Can The Bills do the same thing? Will they try to run consistently? Defensively, it goes without saying Cleveland will run the ball and run some more. Then they will take their shots and try to make a few key 3rd down passes. Lately, QBs even mediocre ones have been successful in 3rd and longs. Can The Bills contain that Cleveland awesome running attack? This defense with its injuries has serious limitations. I don't see a blowout here. I just think the Bills have too many injuries, are playing poorly, now out of their routine, lost home field advantage, Allen looks like he did when he first came into the league, and the coaching is sub par. This is a get right game but it sure doesn't look easy. Buffalo 24 Clev 23

Toney was there for the taking for basically nothing. KC scooped him up and he paid dividends immediately.

No doubt his vision right now is horrible. Right now, I'd rather see him run then pass. When he passes I am holding my breath. Reminds me of his rookie years no doubt.

I hear you but Cooper can certainly burn the Bills. Peoples can get some big plays too. It's not like the Bills aren't missing Hyde, Poyer, and Tre. Don't kid yourself injuries have made this Bills defense beatable. Add in a banged up Edmunds and Milano not practicing. The injuries are taking its toll. The Packers pounded the Bills with the run, the Jets ran 8 straight times from their 6 yard line in a 4th quarter critical drive, and Jefferson destroyed the Bills while Cook rattled off an 81 yard TD. Not to mention how many 3rd and 4th and longs were converted by the opposition. Folks, lets see the defense for what it is. Due to injuries, this team is a shell of itself. No one should feel confident the Bills D can stop Chubb. Heck, Zack Wilson bottom tier QB made enough plays to win.

Very well stated. I completely agree with you. It's clear McD get get this team over the hump. Pretty sure the Bills will be KCs bitc#es again. Maybe even the Dolphins who are a better team. You shouldn't be satisfied with a winning record that gets you into the playoffs and maybe one win. The goal is to win the Super Bowl. At the very least get there. Your logic is flawed.

Agree even if Chubb runs for 200 yards and 3 TDs Fraizer will still have the Bills in the nickel defense.

I agree. I think what you are saying is this team is too reliant on Allen. Its been an issue for awhile now. This year neaidea Diggs who can the Bills look to and count on? Davis and McKenzie have been very inconsistent. Singletary is often an afterthought especially in the second half. Cook os a rookie who seems to struggle and not ready. Shakir looks promising but he's a roomie learning. Knox is receiving limited targets in the Dorsey system. The oline line is average and bit elite. Basically, you are left with Allen and Diggs and praying someone else steps ups each game. As a result, Allen has to almost turn into Superman for the Bills offense to succeed. He is the best WV on the team but he's also the best RB. Subsequently, Allen has to do it all and that's a tough ask. So what do the Bills do? I think they have to commit more to the running game and quick passes. Allen needs to take the checkdowns and then strike deep when it's there. That was the formula early in the seaspn vs the Rams and Titans. I think it can be successful again.

Scott, defensively the big difference maker with this team is injuries. This defense is clearly not near the same team without Poyer and Hyde. Also, Elam and Bedford are learning on the fly. Offensively, the team is inconsistent in running the ball and Allen is playing back yard football which is leading to huge mistakes. One big difference maker is Dorsey. He doesn't seem to wait to or is capable of reigning in Allen. Daboll was able to win that well. Lastly, coaching isn't nearly as effective. Dorsey was addressed above. He never seems fully committed to the run. Fraizer just will not get out of his nickel defense despite getting gashed by the run. Coach MCD just seems to be a cheerleader now. The halftime adjustments have been terrible. Do say been there been adjustments? Dies this add up to a midseason slump or the season slipping away? Either way, my confidence in the team isn't the same. The Super Bowl appearance is seemingly further away due to the above.

He can do his best Josh Allen INTs. Well said.

Truthfully, was anyone confident in real time that the Bills would successfully convert that 4th down? I wasn't...

Just watch the Jets game or the second half of the Packer game. That's what Cleveland is most likely going to do. Cleveland would love nothing more than to have long sustained drives running the ball and making a few timely passes. Don't discount Chubb breaking off long long runs that might result in a TD. Chubb is the best in the league in doing that. Cleveland best defense may very well be their running game. Thus, keeping the Bills offense on the sidelines. Brisett is capable of using his legs and making a few crucial passes to Cooper and Peoples. At this point, I'm not sure how any Bills fans can be confident goung into this game. The Bills have shown us their weakness vs the run. The defensive injuries have hurt the Bills in every facet of a defense. They were healthy vs the Rams and Tenn. The Bills aren't that team! They are a less talented team now then when the season started. Players and coaches have under preformed and made many mistakes. It's too early to tell but it sure is feeling like the season is or could be slipping away. The big bad Bills are no longer that. This is a get right game for the Bills. Then again didn't we say that for the last two weeks?

I agree. However, it appears to me that Fraizer stays in his nickel base far too much. He seems reluctant to make adjustments to stop the run even when playing obvious running teams. The Jets game was a perfect example of that. I would had rather made Wilson beat the Bills with the long pass. Fast forward to Sunday. Statistically, Brisett is one of the worst long passer QBs in the league. The Browns arguably has the top RB in the league named Chubb and a back up named Hunt who could start on most teams including the Bills. So you think Fraizer stays in his safe defenses? Wouldn't you think he adds some guys on the block? I dare to say that Chubb and Hunt will gash the Bills if Fraizer stays in his traditional defense. The Browns are very very good at gap running. The Bills seem to have issues filling the gaps with the Packers and Jets. Minn is a little different running style with more outside run. Nevertheless, Cook was able to take a long run to the house. What makes you think the Bills can stop the Cleveland's rushing attack? Without Poyer, Hyde, Tre, and a banged up Edmunds the Bills have an uphill battle.

At some point, I think you have to look at Fraizer's defensive scheme.

I mostly agree with your post. However, a defense can't allow an 81 yard TD run. That's a serious problem. Almost like saying a CB did great breaking up all those 10 passes but he gave up two TD bombs. He he just cleaned up those 2 plays. Your argument is flawed at its premise. Not to mention they were gashed by the Jets and Packers. The Jets ran the ball 8 straight times in the crucial point of the 4th quarter. That drive started at the 6 yard line. I guess maybe it's a matter a semantics. Whatever you cal it the Chubb, Hunt, and Brisett running combo will test the Bills suspect run D. Teams have consistently sold out to stop Chubb without success. It's not like it's a secret what the Browns will do. On A positive side, he Bills were able to stuff Henry. Perhaps then can do the same to the Cleveland's rushing attack. However, the Bills defense seems to be a shell of itself since that game. Injuries, poor coaching, lack of game time adjustments, poor tackling, etc...are all in play. On a different note, I'd add in the Bills rush has been inconsistent and teams are able to get 3rd and long conversions at a higher rate that's acceptable. That was very clear in the Minn and Jets games. In concluding, the Bills have played remarkably poorly in their last 3 games. Starting with the once favored MVP candidate named Josh Allen. Can The Bills protect that ball and execute in the red zone? This is a game the Bills should win. At home and semi desperate for a win. The Browns have nothing to lose and I'm sure are looking forward to a Watson debut.

I get what you are saying. However, I see a bit of a hedge of what you are saying. More specifically, you say you can't see the Bills losing. Yet, you admit it won't be easy and the Bills pull out a win. I would think it's reasonable to say that if the game won't be easy that the Bills can lost the game. I would think if you think the Bills can't lose you wouldn't be saying they will pull it out. Instead, I would expect you to be calling for a blowout. Maybe I'm splitting hairs.

I can definelty see the Bills losing this game. Not sure why you can't see that? The Browns have a very very dangerous run game. Did you see Cook romp for an 81 yard TD last game? Chubb can break long long runs at every touch of the ball. The Bills have had serious issues stopping the run. Packers, Jets, and Vikes. Now they get Chubb and Hunt. Also, don't discount Brisett. Sure he's not great but he most likely won't have to be. Just asked to do enough to win the game and make a few big passes or runs which he's capable of doing. Think Zac Wilson. The Bills team is the X factor. Who knows what their game plan will be? The coaching has been very poor recently. Will they commit to the run the whole game? What kind of Allen shows up? Will it be Allen who leads the NFL in INTs? He ONLY has 6 INTs in the last 3 games. Will Gabe be the good Gabe or the bad Gabe. Same goes for McKenzie. Can The Oline open up holes for Singletary? How do the Bills stop Chubb and Hunt? The weather will be a factor. Snow and windy conditions clearly favor the Browns. How can Bills fans be confident going into this game? No doubt the Bills are the better team. We have seen the last two games and the better team doesn't always win. This team is playing poorly, injury riddled, and led by poor coaching. Until I see signs of progress, I will remain skeptical of this team. The "I can't see the Bills losing" is just out of touch with reality.
