Nobody Honestly Cares this team couldn’t even beat the Patriots

Is it too early to talk about draft positions, easier schedule next year, and unloading some of the expensive old veterans

No it’s not unfortunately.

 

what do we save by ditching Von?  Poor guy is terrible out there, he should pull himself out.

Von is a stand-up guy and a Hall of Famer I keep on waiting for him to retire and save the bills some dollars

Von has been terrible since he came back.  Teams are running right where he would be if he wasn't getting blown 15 yards off the play

 

Bills need to unload all the old slow expensive vets and try again. The way they are playing they'll be lucky to win 2 more games this year.  This place will self immolate if we finish last in the afce

For now. They still are one game back of the division. They win last night..they would be in 1st place.

We don’t save anything by cutting von until after 2024. IIRC we’d lose like 10 more mil in space.

After Tre hurt himself again, I'm assuming Von will not be playing a lot of snaps  anytime soon.

For now ... yes ... but with our remaining schedule and the way we are playing, I don't see it happening

What are you talking about? Von leads the league in sprinting 10 yards past the QB.

The harsh reality is that Buffalo was one pass interference non call away from being 1-4 in what was supposed to be the easy part of the schedule.  That is much more than a wake up call or slump. 

 

If you break down the remaining schedules you see this

 

Tier 1 Buffalo might be the favorite-Broncos, Patriots.   Even in those cases, Denver is playing better and New England already beat us

 

Tier 2 Buffalo might beat them if they play well- Jets, Chargers

 

Tier 3 Out of our League-Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys, Dolphins

 

Best case scenario to me is four more wins.  Worst case is one more.    The defense is depleted.  The offense under Dorsey has been figured out by the rest of the league and the morale is shot.   This is a drought era team with a good QB.

Oddly enough I think we will do well against the tier 3s above.  It's the lower caliber teams we can't handle this year.

Even my wife noticed it. "Where is #40 going? Is he trying to tackle someone behind the QB?"

He's not going to turn down millions of dollars.

He's practicing his wind sprints.

Von is just about embarrassing himself now.   Wonder what is total stats are this year?

[Livinginthepast]

How embarrassing is this list. 3 teams with mediocre talent (NYJ, Browns, Steelers) ahead of us.  But based on the Bills propensity to play down to their opponents its richly deserved. How many times does this team need to look in a mirror and man up?
