I just can't bare to see what happens against KC, Cinci, Dallas, Philly, LAC and Miami again.  It could get really ugly... Really fast

 

As low as I feel right now, knowing this lot they'll raise their game. Will probably go 3-3 at worse, somehow.

This team isn't going to make the playoffs.  They will need help just to get a wc this year.  Miami owns this division right now and has a weak schedule.

 

Guess we will see. How teams look in week 7 often isn't how they look by the end of the year

Reminding people with no memory.  In the  season that ended in 13 seconds the bills were 7-6.   That is the last season with Dabol. when everyone begged to fire him all the time.  

 

I think you mean Daboll...but yeah, it seems like this is trending towards that territory.

There is no thing as a rebuild. Especially when you have JA diggs and this D

Whats the cap hit on Von? I thought there was still a year or two before it became realistic to cut him if needed.

I don't need to step my game up, the Bills do and they will. Stop panicking like people who never have faced any adversity in their life and when they have crumbled like a cheap tent.

They will? 😆 This team is done, we were dead men walking coming into the season and we are exposed. We will be lucky to win 9 games and lose to Jacksonville in the wild-card. When has this team ever overcome adversity

The season was over once we lost Milano.  Too many other injuries on D.  Offense is in shambles with Dorsey.  There’s 6 losses still on the schedule; We ain’t making the playoffs.  Let’s look to the future, clean house on coaching staff and start to rebuild around Josh. 

6 games in and a 4-2 record.  Are things good, of course not.  Are they out of the playoffs, of course not. Come in off the ledge.

No money for a rebuild. Got to somehow win with what we have and draft picks. 

And that’s why we sell off while we can. Maybe Epenesa, maybe Floyd, maybe Davis. Get as many draft picks as possible. Trade up in the draft to get Harrison Jr.

2. 20M dead cap after this year, 8M after 2024. 

3. 32M dead cap after this year, 15M after 2024.

4. Probably

Most of the biggest contracts are long term for huge $ and for injured or ancient players or both. 

 

No easy way out of those. Cap is a huge problem. 

 

I'll be the a-hole to bring it up but it's $10.3M dead cap to release Tre White after this season. Most of the others are far beyond that.

I'm down for whatever lol. I'm going to get stupid. Whatever they are doing now sucks

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Diggs will be 30 in a few weeks, Oline needs major rebuild, FS and SS need youth infusion, #2 WR. We need a new HC for this rebuild

Well that’s not happening. But more to your point, Beane put them in this hole.

[The Frankish Reich]

I’m not so good at math. Are we now ONE GAME behind the Dolphins in the loss column? Because everyone here says we’re toast.

And if the defense could have gotten a stop on that final drive, Bills would be in first place in the division right now and people would still be concerned and rightfully so, but things would look and feel very very differently.

It's not nearly as terrifying as it was before the season started. CIN, LAC, and clearly MIA all have giant question marks as well. And you never know what you're going to get with Dak and Dallas. They could put up 40 in a half, or 10 all game.

Man we are 4-3 in a completely stacked division. It’s not the end of the world. We lost 2 tough division games and put up a stinker in London. It’s not over by any means, but defenses are starting to figure out Allen. He needs to start ripping off big runs again. 

 

This didn't deserve 2 vomits and 4 laughs.

1)  Defense is riddled with injuries:    White and Milano are out for the year and Miller is practically a non factor.   Our linebackers are inexperienced and smaller than some safeties, the remaining defensive lineman are average starters and rotational and there is no true #1 corner.   Out of everyone remaining, only Hyde, Poyer and maybe Floyd or Bernard would start for other teams.

 

2)  We have nothing outside of Diggs at WR:   Our options are

 

Davis- Two or three drops for every big play

Harty- A lesser version of McKenzie

Sherfield- Completely invisible I think that I have heard his name once this season.

Shakir-I had a little hope, but he seems to be interchangable with any backup WR in the league

 

3)  Josh Allen is not himself:  We can only speculate on whether or not it is physical or mental, but it is not just the play, he is completley checked out every time that you see him on the sideline.

 

4)  Schedule:  We were one ref call away from being 0-3 in what was supposed to be the soft spot of the schedule.   The remaining schedule is Bucs, Bengals, Jets, Broncos, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, Pats, Dolphins.  We are 4-3 and ten wins is probably needed for the playoffs.  Who do we beat?  Do you see six wins happening there?  I don't.

 

Sorry to sound so pessimistic.  If might be time to accept that we may need a mini rebuild this year and next year.  Retool the team and start fresh with an offensive mindset.  I would rather have two mediocre years and a chance again later in Allen's career than 7 straight years of 9-11 win wild card disappointment.

You want to clean house and rebuild during the season ? Not how it works.

Imagine having this goal and Mahomes blows out his ACL next week. Play the whole season out. No tanking, no excuses.
