I don’t think they’re that talented. I think the Bills built a good college program and we have a bunch or juniors and seniors that play well together and know the system. I think they have a few talented players in the right spots, QB1 and WR1 that can carry an offense. So we’ll be contenders, especially with our QB1.

They came out more aggressive the 1st matchup with Cincy and got burned the 1st drive. Bills don’t match up well vs that Bengals offense. The biggest problem was the offense just couldn’t get going to help the defense. Everything was bad. They laid an egg. That’s my disappointment with the coaching staff. They weren’t ready to play. But it’s not a common occurrence.

You never know what will happen. Packers were a Super Bowl contender prior to last year. Giants could easily fall apart. Washington? Who knows.

They played all types of coverage vs Cincinnati. Nothing worked. We forget that the major topic starting around the Vikings game was our CBs and S’s stinking. I know that Vikings game they pressed like crazy and got destroyed. Even with a pass rush. What the Bills coaches don’t do is get out of nickel. But that’s by far our best personnel grouping. I mean you’re not taking Taron Johnson off the field for a LB vs Cincinnati. So I’m not sure.

The schedule is always brutal. We’re always a first Place schedule.

So you looked at the DL and decided they should get pressure with a 4 man pass rush? They had a green OC and QB coach but brought in experienced OL coach and experienced offensive assistant Mike Shula to help.

Grow how? People are making these comments like it’s a widespread problem. How do you beat KC and Cincinnati? Pass rush and score points! We’ve been saying it for years. There is one person we must look at. Brandon Beane. Now the question is does he get a pass because Von got hurt? I’m willing to say yes but criticism is still there because his DL draft picks aren’t able to win 1v1 battles. You blitz. Burrow and Mahomes are 2 of the best QBs vs the blitz. There is no adapting. You hope you can win 38-35 or something. Which we should’ve last year.

If I told you after last year’s playoff loss to KC that Shaq Lawson, Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa, and Boogie Basham would lead our pass rush in the playoffs what would you say? Leslie Frazier should be able to get pressure with that group? Can’t be serious.

It’s not just about playing him it’s a mentality. We’ve heard all year that he needs to be less handsy. Plus we need the combination of front 4 pass rush and tight coverage.

Number 1 it’s hard to win a Super Bowl. I will only question coaching if we start losing wild card games consistently.

We got completely dominated.

Why do you think that?

We need our Chris Jones in the playoffs. It was supposed to Von. As for rookies I think that might have been the biggest mistake from the coaches. They should’ve put their most physically gifted CB out there and let him play physical. I remember all camp and all season the talk of Elam was he’s too handsy. He liked to get his hands on WRs. They wanted that to stop. Problem is that’s exactly what we needed.

I don’t understand the the calls for coaching changes. Look at the defensive line they put on the field in the playoffs and compare it to pretty much any other championship DL. We haven’t had anyone on the DL we can depend on to make a play in any of Josh Allen’s playoff years. When it’s about beating the top 2-3 teams in the league you need those players on the DL.

It’s going to look different roster wise but we’ll be right there with KC and Cincinnati because of Josh Allen. I really feel like we’re the Colts of the previous era. Chiefs are the Patriots, Bengals are the Steelers. We’re the soft team, but we will eventually get where we want to be. The Bills have to better protect Allen and they have to add another top level defensive lineman/Pass rusher. Yes adding Von Miller and a healthy Jordan Phillips would be very helpful but we need to either upgrade Oliver or make another splash DL addition, most likely through trade.

This isn’t even close to an accurate statement. We have been one the most consistent and best defenses since 2017. What we lack on defense is the elite player on the DL. You need to be able to get pressure with a front 4 vs top level QBs. You’re not likely to fool them. We didn’t sign Von Miller as a luxury. We needed him. It’s also not a surprise how different the defense was without a physical point of attack DT like DaQuan Jones. We need to go and get a top level DT because Ed Oliver isn’t it. I’ve said this a few times but that DL we had in the playoffs was so much worse than previous playoff DLs that we said needed upgrades. It was basically the DL that failed us last year but without Hughes and Addison. It is truly a Jimmy and Joe’s issue.

Bengals WRs are unbelievable.

Too much ref time in this game but overall it was a good game.

It’s all about front 4 pressure. If you trust it, it sets up how you play on the back end. It’s never the other way around.

Way too early

I’m sure we’ll get updates in the offseason. Obviously something serious happened and is affecting her every day life. We haven’t heard from her in a year almost.

Well, they didn’t become a top organization by listening to fans and making emotional decisions.

That’s the NFL. Dawkins is good. Got beat some yes but that is a product of an OL struggling.
