Cincy is better all around, coaching too. But the refs haven't done the Bills any favors tonight. They have been horrible. 

The Bills would still be getting smacked even if every call went in our favor.

I think we already knew before the game…

[SoonerBillsFan]

Nope is the answer. Not enough talent on Offense, and both sides out coached

[buffblue]

What else is new. The Buffalo Bills are big losers. When will this ever end? 

[DuckyBoys]

not a contender might not make playoffs

[mannc]

Now we know…

[SectionC3]

I’m starting to wonder if this group can’t get it done.  Down as I’ve felt during the Allen era. 

[Wizard]

Hmmm...defense shredded. Poor tackling. O-line inconsistent, and the Kincaid turnover was a killer. Running game not established and the Bills had 10 days of preparation.

 

Time to rebuild. Keep Allen, Torrence, Diggs, McGovern, Bates, and Edwards. Keep Shakir and Kincaid. Keep Cook and one of the ver running backs..not Gilliam, a wasted spot. If possible, lower cap hits on Allen and Diggs.

 

Find ways to lower Dawkins salary, get rid of Morse, and eliminate S. Brown. Do not resign Davis. Harry and Shefield are Jags.

 

Keep Oliver, Jones, Rousseau. Resign Floyd. See what can be done with Miller's contract. Offer to Epenesa but at like 7 mil per year. Lawson is done.

 

Hopefully Milano returns healthy. Bernard is serviceable. Almost other linebackers are cheap backups or replaceable. I would keep Dorisn Williams for a longer look.

 

Tre White, Poyer, Hyde, Neal, J Norman, Hamlin are  done or replaceable. 

 

Keep Douglas, Benford, Jackson, and find a way to lower T. Johnson's contract.

 

Need an Offensive Coordinator and possibly a new head coach.

 

 

[Bermuda Triangle]

Soooo…that’s not a hold?

[Murdox]

Well, we can't be a playoff team every year unforunately.  There is something that is just off with this year's team.  The injuries on defense are a major problem, and I don't think Von Miller has much left in his tank, but the offense is just out of sync.  We could still use a good #2 receiver that can beat man coverage, and our running game needs to be better.

Groot and Oliver are pretty mediocre

Never…once you accept this, then (and only then) will you find peace…😉

Change title of thread - “We are not a contender”

[mrags]

Answer is we cannot contend.

First I won't say I disagree with any of this. Second, How the hell given all the turnover that needs to happen have we been a contender? Where did we go wrong?

This ***** ain't working at all.

showed us were are the same discombobulated team we have been most of the year. 

[Turf Toejam 34]

Folks around the team talk about "glue" players that don't get often noticed but make the routine plays to make the team better.   The loss of Daquan and Milano cannot be overstated.   We are down to relying upon guys that we've brought in off the couch in critical situation (Joseph).    On the offensive side, this team does not have the deep speed to threaten a defense.    Watching Murray in passing situations made me long for Fornette.
