1) they didn’t intend to tank. They made moves trying to win. They signed a bunch of free agents and didn’t trade an aging rb. They thought they could easily upgrade the QBs position. 2) even if they were “tanking,” you don’t need to have one of the worst offenses ever.

Rams points/ game pre Sammy: 14 points/game with Sammy: 29.9 chiefs points/ game pre Sammy: 25.9 points/ game with Sammy: 36.3 bills points/ game with Sammy in his last year here: 24.9 bills points/ game after Sammy left: 18.9 but I’m sure it’s one big coincidence. It’s amazing how simple people try to make football. I guess Julio Jones sucked until last week until he scored his first td of the season. It’s this type of simple thinking that had the Bills think a garbage slow receiver like Jordan Matthews could replace Sammy because he had similar stats!

You could probably do that for a lot of teams. Watson was also playing through an injury and Watt took some time getting back to his level. They will be a tough out going forward. They could be really dangerous if they had a better oline and running game.

We can’t have an offense because it is a blizzard every day in Buffalo. Run the ball and stop the run!!!

Funny how the two top offensive coaches in the league wanted him. Funny that both of those teams got better with him on offense. It’s weird that some teams understand that you need multiple threats on offense and receivers can make an impact without getting 100 yards every game. but I definitely agree with McBean’s and jaded Bills fans’ opinion on offense over Reid and McVay. Excellent moves like Jordan Matthews, Kelvin Benjamin, and trading up for Zay instead of staying put for JuJu or Kupp shows their keen eye for offensive talent. Haha, definitely rather have Benjamin’s character for the culture!!! What was Sammy’s attitude here anyways? Playing to early on an injured foot to appease stupid fans questioning his toughness?

You mean like the Bills, last year? Good point. The last Texans’ qbs before Watson we’re killing it with Hopkins. Oh wait. maybe the guy who dominated Bama twice in college is just really good.

I hated Allen as a prospect and wish the Jets drafted him. However if a guy like Reid or proven offensive coach drafted him, that would have opened my eyes. Instead the group that traded for Kelvin Benjamin and traded up for Zay instead of taking JuJu or Kupp did. It is terrifying.

As much as I am unsure about SM, Rex sucks and nothing was ever his fault. He was terrible and I’m happy he was gone. SM is super boring but I’d take that over a loud blowhard who can’t admit his faults.

Overall agreed but it’s worth noting that the regime that put this terrible offense together also picked Allen. There are a lot of folks who think Allen was a very shaky pick. I hate “being right” about how awful I knew this offense was going to be during the offense. I laughed at people who thought Daboll was an upgrade at OC or Benjamin could be a number 1 receiver. I would rather have been wrong and been laughed at for being wrong because it would mean the Bills were winning.

Haha. Keep hating. EJ would be the best qb on this roster. Compare their career numbers. EJ had a better start to his rookie year than Allen and it’s not really close. That’s how bad our qbs are.

He had a chest injury and couldn’t even fly on the team plane. Plus, we have a pretty good D. I feel bad leaving John all alone on the homer front. I enjoyed life as a Bills fan better as a homer. I so badly wish I could pretend Josh Allen was a good college Qb, or every offensive personnel by this regime wasn’t a disaster, or we didn’t pass on 2 really good qbs that we didn’t need to trade extra picks for. It would be so much easier. Haha, when all else fails, blame Whaley. Do people really think the GM who was going to get fires was given total control of the draft?

Tre White is awesome. That said if your cb is your best player, you probably suck. See the Cardinals. I was told for many, many years that Gilmore sucked. ?

Can we pretend like every qb would be the same here? Yes, he would be worse here but he would be better than our qbs. McCoy would be much better. I like how people act like Josh Allen would be putting up Mahomes numbers if the situation was reverse.

Because it was completely, 100% Luck. Trust me, I used to love bringing up Jauron’s 13-3, coach of the year season in defending him. this is one of the worst offenses in the history of the nfl in a league where it begs you to score. SM is on his second OC and has 2 of his hand picked Qbs. It is a complete disaster.

But I respect it!

I respectfully don’t agree. He sucked in the Titans game and we were losing against the Texans. I’d rather see him than the other 2 but he was a pretty awful passer himself. Good runner though.

This is my problem with taking the guy with great physical skills and accuracy issues. I’m sure Allen is a great listener and hard worker. But those mechanical issues are really hard to change once the real bullets start flying.

They were probably one of the worst playoff teams ever. Nothing about how they made the playoffs was repeatable this year. It also goes how insane the drought was because you just occasionally get lucky. I know it’s hard for Bills fans because we support such a loser franchise but it’s ok to judge a team even they make the playoffs. Last years team wasn’t close to the best of the drought teams. But the end result can clouded fans’ judgment. He gets another year but he should be a very hot seat. There is zero excuse for this unwatchable brand of football.

Honestly, I don’t blame SM that much. He is a dime a dozen head coach. He would be fine in his role. The problem is he was given way too much power. The idea of hiring a 1st time head coach before the GM is so completely stupid and I love the Pegulas.

I’d take Peyton as our qb. And great players tend to be terrible coaches. Plus, Peyton has a ton of commercials to film.

So we’re going to massively overpay free agents and end up in salary hell in a few years? I love Buffalo but no FA is joining this team without a huge overpay. Unless they really like Chicken wings.

Football that is somewhat fun to watch. I’m reached the point where I’m used to the Bills losing. But I still watch. For the first time in forever, I didn’t watch the majority of the game.

You can’t make super models out of Lane Bryant models. That said, having terrible qbs isn’t helping things either.

It’s Cam Newton’s fault. Clearly, Cam and the Panthers have fallen apart without Benjamin. But man, he was so good in that preseason game!

To be fair, it raised his career rating! So the OP is technically right!
