Mango Posted January 22 Posted January 22 1 minute ago, HomeskillitMoorman said: What about when the defense was much healthier 2 years ago and McD's D gave up 42 to the Chiefs? The year before that when they gave up 38? And lets be honest, the Chiefs put the brakes on in that game because it was over. They could've put up 50 that night. What about it 2 years ago? We blew it. Last year we were paper tigers on both sides of the ball. For the most part I was higher on this team at the back end of the year than either of those other two. This one hurt, but this wasn't a "McDermott was protecting his precious defense" game. The defense was a seiv and needed to be kept off the field, Mahomes and co. didn't win by 4 because they took their foot off the gas. They lost by 4 because the Bills kept their possessions to a minimum with long sustained drives. I am confident that Buffalo wins that game fairly easily with a healthy Milano, Bernard, and Douglas. 1 Quote

Josh was hyper football focused the summer of COVID and look how good he played that season. Made a huge leap. What if he could make another leap? Or at least set the standard for the team that we are winning it this year at all costs Quote

We need that WR2 but I think we could be ok next year especially if we can retain Brady and Josh plays like he did somewhat down the stretch with little to no turnovers. There will always be some. A lot of tough cap issues but JA is a leader. Still numb but Who knows. Go Bills. Oh boy, he's got that offseason fire. Let's hope that translates to not turning it over a half dozen times or whatever against the Jets Quote
Brandon Posted January 22 Posted January 22 35 minutes ago, SirAndrew said: This is why I’m amazing how many fans want Brady back. His offense did score some points, but it looked like a college offense built around a team with no talent. That isn't necessarily Brady's fault. There's not enough time in the middle of the year to change the entire system. He wasn't perfect, but this offense certainly improved once he took over for Dorsey and I think he did a good job under the circumstances. 1 Quote
Mango Posted January 22 Posted January 22 2 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: Yep I get it but from a leadership standpoint if Josh really focused in this summer and worked out like crazy he would set the standard for the team. When the team sees him out golfing they probably think well he's not working out maybe I don't have to either I have been hard on Josh's post season, film, and decision making. But he seemed much different the back end of this year. One notable mention was that he directly said "I am anxious to get back into the lab and start working". Normally we hear "Gonna let the body heal" or "I will take some time to decompress from this" or "We will work on some things this offseason". But this was much more along the lines of "lets get back to work". 2 1 Quote

My gosh, did he account for 50 TDs again? I think he’s the first QB to do that and not make a SB. And he’s done it twice! while playing some golf in the offseason. Quote

Warcodered Posted January 22 Posted January 22 13 minutes ago, Mango said: I think they will have to be. I really believe we have to take a half step back and refuel for a very aggressive 2025. If we time it right we should be able to open another $65M in 2025 cap dollars by moving on from Diggs, Miller, and Tre while an offensive focused draft comes into its second season. But that means we are winning a lot of games because we score a lot of points. The plus side is we should have enough room ($$$) to keep that group together for a very long time, with enough left over to make a couple big signings on the other side of the ball. I think the cap issue is somewhat overblown the number will go up by a big amount again and Bean is a wizard, not to mention if there is anything can do to help he's going to do it, within reason obviously. Defense could still be great if we stick with McDermott calling plays getting Milano and Benford back for year 2 with a whole offseason together. Also another offseason for Williams to develop, also I'm just not as worried about McDermott finding ways to fill in the gaps in the secondary White will also be back. 2 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: How so?

Doesn’t seem like we have too many problems other than first world problems. We have yet to get over the hump bc sports are weird and, as in life, things aren’t supposed to be fair. You can do everything right, and still lose. Maybe I should of went into the "sports" business because in my profession if you don't produce and get over the hump, you get demoted or fired. Second most wins since 2019....wow. Did the Bills get some kind of trophy for that? Quote

DapperCam Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Allen’s playoff stats per game over 10 games: 24/37 - 65% 272 passing yards 2.1 passing TDs 0.4 INT 100 passer rating 8 carries 56 rushing yards 7 YPC 0.5 rushing TD 0 lost fumbles 0.1 receiving TD ——— And that is with a terrible Bengals game dragging down the averages. The fact that we haven’t made the Super Bowl with that kind of QB consistency is nuts. 1 1 Quote

What I'm saying is you're trying to excuse McD because of the injuries, but his D's have gotten lit up by KC in the playoffs even when they have been relatively healthy. I think someone said that in the last 4 postseasons in these games in which we've been eliminated, we've forced a total 7 punts? That's astonishingly awful. That's his side of the ball that he has poured many resources into. It would be hard to find a coach that's consistently worse than him on his side of the ball when it matters most. I can't think of any. Quote

But this was much more along the lines of "lets get back to work". Agreed. Today sucks and that loss will sting for a while but what can you do. Josh played a very good game up until 2 and 9. he’s obviously the future as is McD after pulling them out of 6-6 to get to where we were. It still sucks but it is what it is. It did seem like Josh wanted to really get back to work and left working with Jordan Palmer open. I hope he does. While we will be in a cap hell of sorts this off season, thankfully some younger guys did shine this off season and most, if not all of line should be back. Need WR and hit on draft. Next year might be rocky but maybe not. In 2025 we should be out of cap hell though. 2 Quote
