The number of receivers we've brought on that were the answer is mindboggling.  For slot only, McKenzie and Kumerow, now both unceremoniously gone.  Meanwhile we kicked the best slot receiver we've had in years, and one of Allen's favorites, Beasley, to the curb.  Now it's Harty.

Truth hurst sometimes. Poor front office and HC. 

This is an "unpopular opinions" thread, not "everyone who has said these things in every thread for three months come say them in this thread too, but with tone and syntax suggestint they are some righteous bearer of truth" thread 

[Low Positive]

You said unpopular? How about this:

1. Leslie Fraiser's call on that infamous 3rd and 4 play in the Bengals game was the correct one. Everyone talks about 3rd and 4, but everyone forgets that the play was 3rd and 4 on the Bills 14 yard line. A soft zone concedes the first down but prevents the TD. Not only that but the closer a defense is playing to the goal line the less that they have to worry about WRs getting behind the DBs on a slippery field. All of this was intentional and we know this because the coverage tightened up after that play.
2. The game was lost when Josh Allen overthrew Diggs on the first drive. If he hits that throw, the game would have been a shootout instead of a blowout. 
3. Tremaine Edmonds was an excellent MLB for the Bills and his absence will be noted.

The Bills will never have a head coaching advantage in a playoff game under this regime.

Wow!  Interesting!

 

I may comment on the others later, but this one is the most intriguing.  

 

Not sure I'd say never, but in general I agree.  McDermott isn't a natural football genius, like maybe McVay, and a lot of the guys who get deep into the playoffs are like that.

 

However, I'd argue that Reid also isn't a wunderkind.  He got where he is by accumulating knowledge and gaining wisdom, and that's exactly what McD is doing.  

 

McDermott will continue to improve because that his core principle - the growth mindset.  

 

So, I'd guess that 10 years from now, McD will be a star and McVay will be a guy who had some success.

First - Kumerow isn't a slot receiver.

 

Second - Beasley is washed. We saw he was washed when he was back at the end of last year.

It was objectively by the rules a legal lateral, and people are just too blinded by emotional homerism to accept it.

[John from Riverside]

Dion Dawkins keeps on coming into shape to camp but the shape is a donut.  He gets fat and lazy in the off-season.
 

I also feel that the team needs a dome and that the team plays better in those conditions perhaps a real bruiser running back changes that situation

 

Dawson Knox was over paid

 

With the exception of Groot, none of the defensive ends, we have drafted are better than journeyman

I agree with everything here except the part about needing a dome. There are no domes in the NFL, only stadia with roofs.

Luck will be the number one contributing factor for this teams ability to win a championship after Allen.

 

Bates over Morse at Center this season.

 

Bills have the 3rd best overall roster in the AFC east.

[rayray808]

Josh Allen would be a better QB with a true RB1 rather than a true WR1 on the field

No HE wasn’t but you betcha bottom dolla’ Da’Rick was! He just needed a chance, the Bills blew it! 

[TampaBillsJunkie]

1. We should have protected Hodgins.

2. Dorsey is the problem on offense. He's didn't put his players in a position to succeed and Hines was woefully under utilized.

3. Ed Oliver is undersized and should not be in the middle of the D-line. 

4. We needed more out of our MLB than Edmonds, especially at the cost. Sign Bobby Wagner. 

 

[Success]

I don't like this thread.

 

[26TrapDraw]

The Bills lines are soft and non aggressive.

Hines should be in the offense more and Ken Dorsey Sucks as an OC because he doesn’t know how to use a screen to save his life.

 

Very Cathartic this thread.

Dion Dawkins is a replacement level player 

[Matt_In_NH]

Josh Allen improving decision making would help them a lot more that trading  for Deandre  Hopkins. 

[WhoTom]

Thread title checks out.

To or into?

What about trading Oliver to bears to swap draft picks in first and draft a tackle. Then use money to and 2nd round to get Hopkins. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Bills are a really good team with a really good coach
