PromoTheRobot Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Why do fans expect the front office to reveal their real offseason plans? 2 1 1 Quote
Nihilarian Posted January 23 Posted January 23 What's gotta be frustrating to the entire team is they all know how badly the defensive injuries hurt this team this week. Let's face it, I like Klein but he shouldn't have been out there against KC. Douglas looked gimpy and not up to full speed. OTOH Diggs, Oh man. 8 targets, 3 receptions for 21 yards...that #1 WR must have been nursing some sort of injury or it might be time to move on or get him some real help at #2. Very few were open and KC was in constant dime. 1 Quote
Allen2Moulds Posted January 23 Posted January 23 16 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Ha, I am more than open to your opinion, I would love a big awesome WR too. My only slight tweak was I don't want to get a guy just because he is big who has some of the issues Davis has which is too one dimensional and not reliable enough. As I mentioned before, I said it on draft night and its only proved true so far, that Chargers were dumb for taking Quentin or Jordan. Don't force size is all I am really saying, I would rather have the better player than the bigger player if that makes sense. Plus Diggs is 31 this next season, we need a succession plan. So for me, I want to see them go get a guy who has WR1 potential rather than a guy who just compliments a WR1 like Digss with size. Hopefully, that WR1 also brings size to the table too though I'd like to see them double down, and do both. An upgrade to Gabe's role, and a succession plan for Diggs. I guess the question for me is, any prospects in this draft class that offer both, and are not top 5 picks? Quote

I guess the question for me is, any prospects in this draft class that offer both, and are not top 5 picks? Davis replacement is already here in the combo of Shakir and Kincaid. We are looking at a lot of potential losses on the defensive side of the ball, I don't know we have the luxury of going after 2 strong WR prospects in one draft this year. Of course if a WR is the clear BPA even if we have taken one already, I wouldn't be surprised they take 2, but I think one is more realistic with our cap situation and the number of FA's we have and aging players. 1 Quote

For every "Texans" quick turnaround there are a dozen teams that don't. I do remember posts of yours, very recently, touted teams like the Chargers being so much better run and coached that the Bills. How did that work out for you? Go and post on the fish boards. You are a troll. Would love to see proof of this...there's absolutely nothing better about the Chargers right now but if they land the right coach they can certainly make a quick turnaround with the pieces they have. I mean they did almost beat the Bills with a back up QB and interim head coach who never even held a DC or OC position before in this league (one of many warning signs this team was never a legit contender BTW). My overall point is that keeping McDivisional and Beane around because 'they ended the drought' makes zero sense considering this team isn't in the position the Texans were last year in terms of complete rebuild. They just need an upgrade at head coach to build around Josh Allen, and more importantly dump this absurdly pathetic defensive scheme build around undersized injury prone players and classice 'bend but don't break' mentality. The right head coach could take the Bills to a championship in the next few years.....McDivisional is not that guy no matter what ya'all want to continue to believe. Quote

So I don't get it, when was Allen "chill about losing"..."saying the right things"..."giving the right answers"..."wasn't happy but resigned to it"..."like a beaten person"...if it wasn't in his presser you now say you didn't watch? I don't disagree that there shouldn't be a concern with major disappointing losses starting to become a culture and affecting the players to where they get almost numb to it. Heck I am practically numb to it at this point. All of our playoff losses have been hard to take going all the way back to Houston even. BUT...I don't know how you can say you saw any of that with Josh, especially now if you claim you didn't watch the press conference despite alluding to watching it in your first post. The one player on this team you don't have to worry about is Josh. He wants it as bad as any Bills fan and hurst just as much when they don't get it done. And you can see how hard he was taking it to in the press conference you may or may not have watched. I have all the confidence in the world in Josh's mentality and coming back as committed and focused as he always has been to winning the Super Bowl here.

Very few were open and KC was in constant dime. Yet another reason to appreciate Allen's performance. He had Shakir and Kincaid, and that's it, except for checkdowns. Two receivers, one the number three or four receiver, the other a rookie tight end. And he still put the team in a position to win by making plays again and again. Meanwhile, Mahomes missed to passes in the end zone (chokes) and was playing pitch and catch against a deplorable defense. Whose performance was more admirable? 1 1 Quote

Bruffalo Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I just hope the takeaway they get from this season is that it's not acceptable to surround a top QB in the league with bargin bin WR talent. We need to stop crossing our fingers and hope guys take steps forward, we just did that with Davis and it burned us. Big investment into WR and the offense in general. Let McD coach up his defense, that's why he's here right? 1 Quote

I have to disagree just a little bit here. I view Kincaid as a Dawson Knox upgrade, and Shakir is the slot receiver we had been looking for. Outside of Gabe, we don't have that down field threat, that makes defenses pay, when they go cover 0 on us. I never thought I'd say this, but not having Gabe on Sunday really mattered. Sheffield tried to fill that role, but failed miserably. Not big or fast enough. Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Thought it was interesting Beane said the defense didn’t play well vs KC. I know it’s not shocking but still an interesting comment to make. 2 1 Quote

I know it’s not shocking but still an interesting comment to make. I mean they didn't, D-line didn't get pressure, McDermott got stuck trying to make his scheme work with the broken pieces too long instead of adjusting like he had been doing this season. When he finally did it was more effective, It's still Mahomes, but too little too late. 1 Quote
Niagara Dude Posted January 23 Posted January 23 48 minutes ago, phypon said: Weird that he said that since they've run the ball more the last half of the season. Also, lot of running plays and plays behind the line of scrimage Sunday. Not going after you with this reply. Just pointing out the contradiction. Maybe he figured this out after the loss. Let's see what he does next year. Ot maybe they released they need better receivers to play that way, Bills need to get back the offence we had 2 seasons and add a running game Quote

Different pressers Come on Brother Alpha, I shared an opinion. I don’t do the BS gotcha crap that so many on here do. I was legit confused, not trying to do a gotcha thing. Not trying to be a jerk, just don't know where you were getting this impression from Josh in your OP if it wasn't from his pressers that you had just replied to me and said you didn't watch any of. And TBH I am not quite following why you are sending me a link to the end of season presser now too. All good, but since you said said you did not watch the pressers, maybe go watch them as they might help you feel better about where Josh's head is at in terms of how much it means to him still.

When he finally did it was more effective, It's still Mahomes, but too little too late. The D-Line always disappears in big games. It's one of the reasons why I think Eric Washington really needs to be on the hotseat. He is not getting the most out of these guys when it matters. If you're just looking at stats from the season, they look fine, great even. A lot if it is beating up on bad teams in games that are already in hand though. 2 Quote

I'll have to disagree. With only Diggs and Shakir returning next year, WR is a definate need position going into the draft. I'd even go as far to say the depth on defense is much much better than the depth on the offensive side of the ball. Quote

I know it’s not shocking but still an interesting comment to make. Thats kinda like acknowledging water is wet. The defense did absolutely nothing against KC. To be fair, he should’ve said, “the defense sucked balls against KC and we’re going to look at a new DC that can run different schemes because this revolutionary McD defense has gotten us booted from the playoffs for 4 consecutive years.” it just sucks that after 6 years And desperately needing offensive weapons and a new center in the draft… It feels like we need to draft/sign players at every position on defense. Thats how bad they were. Quote
Buffalo Boy Posted January 23 Posted January 23 6 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: you said said you did not watch the pressers, My very first line was, “I watched Josh last night.” I was referring to his End of Season presser from yesterday, which I did watch. My bad as it was really vague on my part to begin with. Quote
transplantbillsfan Posted January 23 Posted January 23 1 hour ago, boyst said: this is big. Beane is so much better for press conferences and seems more like a coach than GM. McDermott flat out lied in his presser, too. which pisses me off. How did McDermott lie? Quote
