And replaced them with who exactly? I understand that those players are maybe not performing to expectations or not playing as well as other players but why would you intentionally create holes in your roster without a viable strategy to plug that hole? If you go into the draft with obvious holes in your roster that messes with the draft strategy and you end up reaching for players because of need instead of taking BPA (see: Ford, Cody & Jones, Zay) Also it would have been a stretch to say that Daryl Williams wasn't worth re-signing. It was a major concern in the offseason that we'd lose him to FA and he played very well on his 1 year deal last year, the hope was that we WOULD find a way to keep him.

I am very sneaky...

Let's matriculate the ball down the field, and stuff.

You take away Cleveland’s run game and they look awfully mortal.

This CLE-AZ drive is nonsense.

Really? This person was okay with getting bounced from the playoffs last year in week 17 by the Bills backups and getting pasted for 50 but THIS loss has them shaking with rage?

crunchy peanut butter is an abomination.

A quarterback barely serviceable. "Gentlemen, We Can Rebuild Him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic QB. Josh Allen will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster."

Good lord other than a handful of names that’s just a murderer’s row of mediocrity. Feel like I forgot that half those names even started games for the Bills, which frankly tells you everything you need to know. No wonder the highlight of most fans during the drought was to get blackout drunk on Labatt’s and dive bomb onto a flaming table off of the roof of an RV.

I went and looked over the stats and it’s just weird. We had better TOP, Allen was converting 3rd downs like a man possessed, we outgained them in yards. Literally every metric says we should have controlled that game but the box score just shows complete domination. That return, the 2 picks and Robert’s fumble trying to take it out of the EZ was the total difference. We gave them 4 short fields and they turned all of those into TDs.

Didn't turn out so good for Ron Rivera when he said that 😂

I also wonder with the upgrades we've done across the DL this year if that's had an impact to Star's game. Could be that lackluster DT and DE play, or lack of depth was an issue. DL is a lot like OL, if there's a couple of weaker links in the chain it ripples across the performance of the entire line. Will say he looks great this year and is playing excellent. Credit to him for keeping in shape during his opt out and coming back rejuvenated.

I'm just going to trust that McDermott and Brandon Beane have already looked at the roster, the cap situation and have roughly the next 2-3 years planned out. They both seem way too detail oriented to not operate this way. I like how they fill the roster top to bottom with good/great, but not amazing players and let it all be greater than the sum of its parts. I like how Beane uses FA to strategically address needs or gaps in the roster so the draft is BPA and BPA only. I feel like the only two times they've deviated from this strategy and reached for need (Zay Jones, Cody Ford) it hasn't worked out, we know it and so do they.

Damn Dillard didn’t even react when Barrett ran past him

If there's one team I don't want to see in the SB its the Brady led Bucs, even if we're the better team. Call me stitious but that's one meeting of fate I don't need in my life in Feb of next year. I'd rather have the Cards or even the Cowboys.

On offense I see possible good games for Moss/Singletary against their suspect run defense or a ton of targets to Beasley/Knox to abuse the middle of the field on crossing routes if they're gonna play a zone 2-high. On defense our Dline feasts, their OL is banged up and Tanny holds the ball longer than most. As long as we can bottle up Henry for most of the game this feels like a long day for the Titans.

NO is an absolute enigma of a team, a big number of their starters are on IR or suspended due to various disciplinary issues. The NO team we're seeing right now is basically Payton winning by making chicken salad with beaks and gizzards. The NO team the Bills will likely face in the end of November will look quite different on offense and defense than the NO team you see now. They also seem to blow hot/cold, winning decisively against teams that are much better than them on paper and then inexplicably dropping the next game against a substandard opponent. I frankly have no idea what to expect and Sean Payton (despite having one of the most punchable faces in football) is a great coach who really maximizes what he has to work with. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of those 'huh?!' losses the Bills had this season.

Not to put the juju on us or anything but there was that legendary Chargers team that was 1/1 on off/def but failed to make the playoffs on absolutely HORRENDOUS special teams play.

Love that both sides of the ball are feasting, best way to compliment an explosive offense is a defense that gives it back to that offense.

Like Josh said about the franchise tag: “ew”

I figured coming in that this game was gonna be heavy on the yellow laundry. Bills D came in to make a statement, was playing things very physical and dared the Chiefs and the refs to counter. Refs threw lots of flags but the Bills were willing to eat them if it meant pushing the Chiefs around and slowing them down.

Exactly, 5-10 years from now no one except stat nerds and television taking heads will bring up that Josh might have won MVP. A Superb Owl win will be remembered forever.

The Poyer/Hyde combination FA signings will probably go down as one of the single best decisions of the McBeane era. Those two have been just absolutely rock solid since they’ve come here.

Who here thought on the first play from scrimmage against the Chiefs that we’d come out in the I formation? Definitely not the Chiefs. Love that we’re seeing the Bills become that super frustrating (for opposing teams) chameleon type offense where they go out and exploit what you defend poorly. It’s great too that our personnel is so strong that for weaker teams we can run a pretty vanilla scheme and still dominate, thereby not giving anything away for the stronger opponents.
