I see no problem with that, at all.

No, it’s not.

But I thought Beane, the wizard, fixed the o-line?  Everyone here should anticipate some regression with the secondary.  Poyer and Hyde aren't getting any younger and I seriously doubt Tre will ever be elite again.    

 

You can't expect these guys to magically turn back the clock to 3 years ago.

If performance didn't matter in pre-season, the starters wouldn't have played.

 

The end result (score) is irrelevant, but how well you play is. It shows where you are at this point in time.

No it doesn't.  Good or bad play it is all meaningless

Is that anything like “a Cleanse?”

Competitive athletes don’t binge on chicken wings before major competitions. There’s a line bw keeping loose vs clown show crap like this

Losing Shell to retirement and Doyle to injury is just plain bad luck. Like the defensive backfield last year, you hate lose them at all, but especially all at one position.

The Bills had a "cleanse" all over the field last night

Regardless of the final score this game was a blowout.

 

Which got me to thinking…since when?

 

We lost games and have had not such great games, but a blowout?

 

I honestly can’t even remember.  Does it predate even McDermott?

 

Has it been more than 100 regular, pre and post season games since we’ve been spanked?

No, I thought about that one first.  That falls under not a good game.  Cincy beat them.  They didn’t blow them out.

 

bad for the bills play, yes, but not a blowout.

Any criticism of Josh, even if it's just to say he contributes to an issue, can't be right to those on this forum. It can never be even partly on Josh. Josh is incapable of doing anything wrong. It has to be the WR's not being able to get open. The line not being able to block. The coach not being able to draw up plays. It can't just be Josh hitting the top of his drop, double, triple clutching. Having no idea where to go with the ball. Then taking off. Something we see literally non stop with him mixed in with the rest of the crap play out of our various units.

If Josh Allen goes down, the Bills only chance is if the opponent puts their 3rd string defense in.

 

Next year the Bills need to do with Tackle what they did with Guard this year, two new starters.

 

You can eliminate Elam for the starting battle opposite Tre White.

 

This game may have made cutting guys easier instead of harder.

 

Have they called Jason Peters yet ? ... 41 yr old Peters likely would outplay both Brown and the Michelin Man.

Cincy took the foot off the gas when they saw we quit or it would have been a blowout.

I wish more would admit when he plays below the standard we’d like to see, but it’s always everyone else’s fault. Dorsey, the OL, his WRs, Britt, Hailey, etc. Josh still makes mistakes that leave you scratching your head. With that said, he’s also the best QB we’ve had maybe ever, but I feel like he could still take his game to another level. Physically he’s the most gifted QB in the league, but his awareness and knowledge of where to go with the ball just aren’t always there.
 

This morning I read on YouTube that Josh was the best QB in the league if only he could get some protection. Aside from glaring performances like the one Saffold had against the Bengals, I suspect you’d think we had a top pass blocking OL if Josh had the processing ability of a Tom Brady. He said he’s completely dialed in on football and even McD said he noticed a change coming into camp. We’ll see if that was just lip service shortly when the real bullets start flying.

I can’t get there… it’s not just bad luck.   
 

It’s not armchair QB’ing to say they could have had Dawand Jones.   75% of the fanbase was clamoring for him on draft night when we came up in RD3. 
 

We chose to give money to Oliver, Floyd & Poyer on defense. Some of that money could have brought in a top tier Tackle… like one the Bengals and Chiefs made sure they brought in for their QB’s. 
 

It’s simply been about allocation of resources and their true (or forced) belief in Spencer Brown.   Fans also pointed out Dawkins drop in play last year.  
 

They chose not to address it.  They could have.  They didn’t.  It’s not just bad luck.

41-15 at home to the Colts in 2021?

It’s akin to Beanes comments about the Bengals picking top 5 and able to pick a guy like Chase and we weren’t…spare me the excuses… specifically when you are throwing money and draft picks in the garbage at defensive line, RB, and LB. 

He would’ve been in trouble if someone said, “but Brandon, you could’ve drafted Justin Jefferson with your 22nd pick, or even drafted George Pickens after trading down. Not to mention you passed on both DK Metcalf and AJ Brown in the second round.”
