KOKBILLS

Joe Marino from Locked On Bills has been commenting on this general subject throughout the year... Like... He'll prepare a gameplan based on advanced scouting of an opponent and say...the Atlanta game... that's a small Defense and we need to lean on them with heavy personnel, wear them down and attack the middle of their Defense. And I think when you look at our TD drive coming out in the 3rd quarter he was exactly right. But that was the only drive we really showed that desire... I kind of felt the same about the Texans D... I know most Bills fans don't want to hear this...lol... But that is a VERY good Defense and they are good all over. I felt like the way you beat a Defense like that is to 3-7 yard them all game... Run a lot, and hope that by the 4th quarter on a short week they are worn out... Now I realize it's Bills players that were dropping like flies, but maybe that's because we played the way we did? I don't know... I so believed that was the way to win that game that on the 4th and one when we got stopped late I was thinking...just kick the FG... It's that kind of game... I know what the analytics say... Just kick the FG and stop them... Anyway... Not saying I'm right because I'm an idiot... But still...lol

I know the entire NFL influencer community can be a bit much week to week. It's an industry in itself.... But it's also good stuff when I have 4 hours of yard work to do. Anyway... while listening to all these weekly prep podcasts for each game one thing that has been crystal clear to me this year is how often the Bills seem to be completely unprepared for their specific opponent. While they were praised for their gameplan vs KC, that should certainly not be a once in 8-10 weeks kind of thing... And like I've commented here recently, in the games they have lost where they were big favorites, they got killed by the other teams best players. Diggs, Robinson, London, Achane, Waddle, Hunter, and Anderson... Heck anyone who plays Fantasy Football understands your game plans have to be focused around limiting those players because they are capable of ruining your game. I don't know... Just feels like we are WAY behind at OBD...

It's pretty beyond frustrating watching the Bills lose to inferior teams while their best players dominate only to see guys like Groot, Benford, and Bernard who got paid big time this past off season completely disappear... Very frustrating...

Totally understand... But I I was more thinking that you're going to need a couple June 1st cuts to calm the dead cap implications on some of the more recent contracts. It's all completely hypothetical because I have not even looked at any of it realistically tbh... Just assuming that a couple June 1st cuts would be needed along the way...

Not with me you wouldn't... I hated him...

Oh this will be unpopular... To rebuild around Josh I'm dumping every vet contract I can, unless it would result in catastrophic dead cap, for Draft picks... That would include everything I could for an after June 1st designation if necessary. Outside of Josh, Jimbo, Ty, Gilliam, Spencer Brown, Grable, Van Pran-Granger, Shakir, Shavers, Bishop, and what is left of the 2025 Draft class I couldn't care less... Now... I fully realize you're not going to get rid of all those players. You have to field a team and the cap won't allow everything I would want to do in the first year... But not a single one of the others would be untouchable... Rebuild the Scouting department...Clear out cap room...Get to work... Draft like crazy...

Not just a slight favorite either...

A few weeks ago I posted Settle and Poona Ford's stats since they left Buffalo... If you're a Bills fan with a weak stomach I would advise not to look... It's damning... And the Bills could have kept both for next to nothing. On top of it, as of a couple weeks ago, I think they had missed a combined 2 games since they left...

New England - One great player on Offense in Diggs... Goes off against us... Atlanta - Two great players on the entire team in London and Robinson, both go bonkers against us... Miami - A roster massively depleted in talent with two elite players in Achane and Waddle and they both have big games. Houston - Two elite players in their DE's and they both go nuts all night...

When you're going up against an elite Defense you need an elite Offensive gameplan... Not necessarily an elite Offense... But you better have an elite gameplan. I think the Bills just did what they always seem to do.. They respect their opponents, but they also look at it like they are elite too, and that means we're going to do what we do...good on good...and we'll see if you can beat us... I call it stubborn... Some might call it over confident, or something else... I think a smart coaching staff realizes this is a game that will be low scoring and physical. A game you can't let their best players beat you... This is yet another game the Bills get beat by an inferior team with a couple elite players when their elite players just absolutely go off against us. That is poor coaching IMHO... You have to make sure those players don't beat you and if that means you change what you normally do for a week so be it... But not the Bills, they are too good for that...

Defense is hot garbage in the 1st... Offense is terrible in the 2nd and cannot block anyone... Just ... Whatever...

Garbage game...

I think maybe we should have got 15 for a hit out of bound too...

Holy *****!
