We were injured and in an offensive lull for those two weeks. They Ravens came into that game like it was their Super Bowl as their season was on the brink. Honestly, I think it was a perfect storm where we just came out flatfooted. Also, the Ravens are an entirely different team in the playoffs than the regular season. I cared in the moment and felt more doubt after the Texans game, but the Bills figured it out and only seem to be getting better. We are also getting healthier, which is rare for us.

Damn it. I should have known someone would have beaten me to it

Just imagine a Chris Jones or Watt on this team that can line up anywhere and wreak havoc alongside Oliver and Groot. My god...

With our rotation, I could still see them taking a DE early if someone who stands out happens to fall. I’m not asking for to happen, just considering what McD likes.

Off-Season IMO Besides receiver potentially, I don't see a need to adjust anything. QB - Josh gets a new deal RB - Run it back OL - Run it back TE - Run it back WR - If they want to bring back Cooper, okay. But I don't know if he will take less than 20 mil and will probably want more than a 2 year deal. At his age, I wouldn't give him more than 2 years. Without Cooper, everyone else is under contract, so draft a potential burner. Defense - I'm okay with almost a full defensive draft DL - Extend Groot, draft DE to replace Von. Carter looks good, but Jones is getting older. Draft a DT. I'd be fine if we went DT with our first pick to line up next to Oliver. LB - Depth at both MLB and OLB. Not high picks, but I could see we need support with Bernard's injury history. I'd also use a late rounder on OLB. While we have Williams, Milano could get hurt again and depth is needed DB - I'd be okay with our 1st or 2nd pick being a DB. Douglas could be gone. Benford is our only sure deal. Elam isn't the guy. S - If they see an upgrade for Hamlin, okay, but I could see them running it back. With that being said, no real FA needs besides bringing our own guys back. Josh, Groot while extending Shakir and Benford. Draft: 1st three rounds - DB, DT, DE 4th-7th Round - WR, S, OLB, MLB

The exchange of Hollins for Davis, both output and contract is a genius move by Beane.

Bernard is tough for me with his injury history. I think we give him a contract that gives us some fair outs. I also don't know if another team is really going to bid hard on him, as I do believe part of his success is system related.

It looked like it went directly over the right goal post, which would be good. No camera on the cross bar, so I don’t know how they would have overturned it. I think it was good

You can’t tell me the Chiefs aren’t intentionally trying to get Worthy the ball as a FU for letting him slip

Chiefs 17 Bills 13 The story writes itself. Chiefs get a call on the final drive to help them seal the victory. The Bills can’t beat a team with a winning record. Josh throws 3 ints when everyone is watching, and it’s the same old Bills to the world.

I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. It was Josh's shakiness from the Colts game where he was trying to press the ball to his only two receivers, that made me realize that Josh is better when he has multiple guys he trusts and can throw to (which he did NOT have in the Colts game). I think Josh needs a healthy Shakir, Coleman, and a burner to feel comfortable being the Josh we've seen most of the season. Cooper is that burner now, but I don't think we need him specifically as much as someone who stretches the field

When do we know if he made it through waivers?

Cooper is a number one, I don’t dispute that. Cooper does a lot more than just be a deep threat. I’m saying he don’t need all of it. Is it nice to have, yes. But I think Josh and the offense really only needs the deep threat aspect of Cooper, to elevate the game of everyone else and complete our WR set. Maybe a 700-900 yard receiver. Christian Watson is a good example of what I mean. Guys you can get away paying under 15 mil a year for, compliment each other; earns trust with Josh, and everyone eats

Seems too perfect timing for this not to happen. Get er done

Again, my point was that the Colts game called out that Josh needs multiple guys available to him, vs only two guys where he feels he has to force feed them. Josh needs a healthy Coleman, Shakir, Hollins, and Cooper/burner. I don’t think he needs a #1 that demands the ball. If he has the prior, he’s more relaxed, spreads the ball to who is open. This
