That's fair. At least you are willing to point out several of the Bills defiencies. I agree with those points. I feel those are the major reasons why the Bills didn't advance. Too many people seem to dismiss them and instead gravitate to the Damar excuse.

This is a creation made up in your mind.

It remains to be seen how McGovern pans out in a Bills uniform. I like the fact that the Bills addressed the oline. -

Harris is very injury prone. I like the signing but it reminds me of the Crowder signing. I don't think anyone would be surprised if Harris gets injured again. -
Weak response! I did watch every game. The Bills rarely seemed to play a complete game during the end of the season winning streak. They often looked like a different team from half to half. The team was very resilient in winning but it was far from being dominant. The game vs Cinci where Damar got hurt showed a glimpse of the Bills team. It certainly appeared as though the Bills were well on their way to losing that game. Fast forward to the playoff off game and it was a continuation of that game. Come playoff time, there was no talk whatsoever about the season's occurrences taking its toll on the Bills players. Zero, zilch, nada, etc...Even after the Miami win there was no chatter of it. Zero, zilch, nada, etc... In fact, these was an opposite narrative taking place! It was the win it for Damar narrative. It was the Bills fate narrative to win the SB. It was a now let's play football because Damar is going to be fine! This is undeniable! No theme whatsoever about how the players were gased, unfocused, unprepared, etc... This narrative was 100% created after the Cinci ass whipping. The same kind of whipping they were getting weeks before. It was a sneak preview. The Miami playoff win wasn't all that different than the previous meetings. Tight games coming down to the end. There is plenty of evidence that suggest the Bills team wasn't good enough. They were weak on both sides of the line, the WRs besides Diggs were pretty weak, and the Bills coaching staff with Dorsey and Fraizer were anything but elite and up to the task. Yet, you and so many others continue to cling to such an unfounded and unknown narrative. Demeaning people along the way who don't buy into it.

Do you know his possible replacements? It's Bernard, Dodson, Spector, and perhaps rookie Williams. Come on man this screams weakness galore here. Edmunds is moons better than any of these guys.
-
No Edmunds fan here. I agree with your take for the most part. Definitely not worth that kind of money. However, if you take a look at his replacement as of now it's pretty alarming. None of those guys look to be NFL starting LBs. In short, it's not so much about Edmunds as it is who they are replacing him with. Additionally, Edmunds was the play caller on defense and by all accounts he was good at it. So I think it's far to say the Bills appear to be weaker at that position going into this season. We will see how it plays out.

You have no idea how much it affected the players good or bad. This narrative that keeps playing is unfounded and created after the fact. Please stop as if its written in stone. Let's look into the situation a little more. Prior to the Cinci game it became more clear that Hamlin was going to recover. He was alive, thankful, and had a seemingly positive attitude. The general consensus was win one for Damar! This is fate to win the SB! Fans welcomed Damar to the stadium. Signs everywhere! The Bills were the little darlings of the media. It was likely additional fuel for the players. Relief had arrived and now it was time to concentrate on football. I can specifically remember this theme throughout the days building up to the game. That's just a fact and undeniable. Go back and look at what the posters here were saying about the Cinci game prior to the game. I can't recall one poster talking about the so called narrative you referred to. Not one! It was all about how the Bills were going to win and mostly win big. After the Cinci ass whipping the narrative began. Some like you continue to bang that drum as if it's a fact. The fact of the matter is we will never really know the remafications. It's entirely possible that the Bills were the inferior team, get out coached, and suffered very little set backs due to the season's events. Isn't that possible?
-
It really won't be much different than the previous years. I suspect a little more aggressive but the schemes will all be the same or similar. Make no mistake about it the defenses were always McD defenses. Fraizer was just a fall guy to secure McD coaching position. This idea that McD taking over the defense is going to be great or a difference maker is pure optimism. The team still looks to have issues with a consistent pass rush and a much weaker LB core with Edmunds gone. Don't get me wrong, the Bills D will be decent to good. Probably somewhere near the top 8 to 12 defenses in the league. As for me, I'm not really relying on the defense to win games come playoff time. Just need to be able to make a few key stops and maybe a turnover or two. The offense and Allen will lead the way to the SB. I'm still a bit concerned with their oline, WRs besides Diggs, and Dorsey.
-
That's a big if. I'd be surprised if the two are relatively healthy throughout the season. This tandom is awesome when healthy even at their ages. I think they are the heart and soul of the defense. They have become two of my favorite Bills defensive players for quite some time now. Please please please football gods keep them heathly.

Mahomes just seems to know how to win. That oline is so good and Reid knows how to call plays. Mahomes will likely give Brady a run for his SB rings while Allen likely becomes the next Dan Marino and Jim Kelly. Great QBs with no rings to show for. -

I think this is pretty spot on. The Bills need a lot of things to go just right in order to make a deep run. The roster is solid but still lots of question marks in the trenches. The WRs besides Diggs looks pretty average to weak. The RB by committee looks pretty solid. Cook looks promising but he still has a lot to prove. Of course injuries will play a role as it does with any team. The coaching staff has to be better. Dorsey is a big question mark. No guarantees he gets better this year. Can the Bills D be better in the playoffs assuming the Bills get there? Lastly, I just have a difficult time thinking Buffalo will beat Cinci or KC if they meet again in the playoffs. -

The "culture of Coaches?" What does that mean? Pretty scary post here if you are not a big McD fan. Thus far the Bills coaches and their culture hasn't gotten it Right? They have not found the proper fits. Right? They have not picked up the right players. Right? So what gives you confidence this year will be different? Curious to hear your rationale. One thing I agree on is the season should be fun. Who was responsible from being Saffold to Buffalo? Is that person still "baking the pie?" Do the math. -
Jaguars starting LT Cam Robinson gets only 4 games suspended for PEDs
newcam2012 replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
No. It's because he's very good. Better than anyone the Bills have on their roster. Happy 4th everyone. Go Bills!!!! -

newcam2012 replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wondering if he's tradeable? He would be a great addition to the Bills oline. This are the types of moves Beane should be making. Not stop gap players, mediocre cheap players, bad draft choices, injury prone players, and washed up old vets. Beane has failed woefully to solidify this oline for years. It's ultimately his biggest failure. Will this year be any different? -
Playoff offense is just as much an issue as defense
newcam2012 replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Really excellent post! Very good and honest read. I'd add something has to change because what the organization is doing just isn't effective enough in the playoffs. Will be interesting to see if the new additions and McD calling the D are enough. -

The same NE team that fielded Matt Jones. Come on man that screams desperation. Miami out coached Buffalo last year in the playoffs. Their defense created big turnovers that lead to big points. They almost beat the Bills with a 3rd string QB on the road. You got to be kidding me that you think McD was a difference maker in those games. Stop digging yourself a bigger hole trying to defend McD's playoff record, coaching, game planning, and execution. Replay the last 3 year's of the Bills playoff games. Have you seen improvements? It should give you a nice picture of why McD is likely not the guy. -

Besides optimism what makes you think McD can get the team over the hump? Do you think he has great game plans? Has excellent schemes? Game time adjustments? Time management? An Xs and Os guy? A great motivator? Creative offensively and or defensively? Just wondering why so many really think McD can lead this team to a SB. Of course it's all speculation. Would welcome all comments for and against McD. Obviously, you know where I stand. -

Just look at the playoff games. McD and his coaching staff has not been good. I'll leave it at that. -

It's not just 13 seconds that McD has failed in. Of course, that's arguably the worst coaching debacle in NFL history. It's the collaborative effect of McD's terrible coaching in the playoffs. This fan is tired of seeing a Bills team get out coached, out schemed, and out prepared. It's a consistent and constant theme cone playoff time. It's hard not not to come to that conclusion once you look at things objectively. The things are going to get better, the he's young and going to learn and grow, and all the other excuses are getting tiresome. Time to move on! There's not a lot to lose... -

Oh I agree he doesn't owe me an apology. However, when you portray a certain image such as being a christain man, moral man, of high character, etc...you might think an apology is the right thing to do. At the very least take a little responsibility. He has done neither to date. I wonder if he apologized to the Bills players? We will really never know what he told the players. I suspect with no evidence he gave a nice consolation speech with no ownership that he failed his players. Leaders take ownership and admit their mistakes. The following year McD underpreformed in the playoffs again. That's putting it mildly. Maybe this is the year he's learned? Or next year? Or next year? It baffles me that Pegula gave him an extension. There was no need to extend him. He's likely to regret that decision in a couple of years. Just more BS excuses and lots of Bills fans believe them. -

Agree. The Bills coaches should have told all their players to tackle and hold all the Chiefs pass catchers. A penalty would have done nothing. The following year the league would have implemented some sort of rule change to prevent this from happening. McD owes the fans an apology and a likely SB win. How anyone can stand by such gross incompetence is mind boggling. To boot, the following year he was taken to the wood shed by the Bengals. A home playoff game where he players weren't prepared and his game plan absolutely sucked. But heck! This year is going to be his year. He will have learned. I got some land to sell if anyone is interested.
