Not sure why Coleman was getting so much playing time (in the game and during the season).  Really did not show enough to have earned that.

 

 

 

 

He is another waste or a draft pick even with yellow macy jacket

The Bills have been trying to shore up the DL the last few years and haven’t been able to do it. They drafted Kincaid in the 1st round and Coleman was their first pick (2nd round) this past year and neither one of them are game changers. 

That's why I think we need some free agents to fix our D.  I don't trust our scouting program.  We've invested draft pick after draft pick on the line and don't have much to show for it.  I'd love to have a lineman that plays as consistently as Chris Jones but I know we won't get one in FA.  Every guy doesn't have to be Chris Jones to be effective... we'll have to see what happens.

 

The secondary needs an overhaul for sure.  Somehow, we drafted the only first round corner to flop ever (that I can recall) in Elam.  I wonder if we'll ever hear what really happened there... how they missed so badly?  I know Hamlin has fans but I've not been happy with our safety situation since a healthy Hyde/Poyer.

 

Coleman showed some flashes early on but I agree... he didn't show much down the stretch after the injury.  Right now, it looks like another draft day mistake to compare him to Worthy... but I'm hoping long term, it pays off.  I get people are down on Kincaid, but I'm still hoping he turns out to be a good pick.

 

Beane got us Allen and for that I will always be grateful... but I sure would love to see more ROI from these draft classes.

No current fans of those teams have ever watched any one of those Super Bowls 

I watched the Phins win those rings. And I’m sorry to say that I’m likely gonna go to my grave without ever seeing the Bills win one.

Never gonna win with McDermott and he probably won't be going anywhere. Perfect definition of insanity, no! Wasting Josh like this should be criminal, 0-5 vs Reid when it counts, how bad does it have to be before change is made, 0-7, 0-10, when Josh finally retires never having advanced to the SB, how many times they gonna run this back! WTF

How fitting that in a game where we hold Kelce to 2 reps and 19 yds, their leading receiver with 6 reps/85 yds. is the guy we passed on in the draft 

Worthy would have been wasted in our offense.  Reid knows how to use him.

Beane always says that the last game of the year shows you where you need to improve----

• DL and Edge is not good, especially against the run, need to get younger   No game changers, everyone is so slow its like watching paint dry. 
• CB's, not any talent there after Benford.   Safety play is suspect, and that includes Rapp.   
• Need more depth of LBs.   With the sets that they play, they're going to need a replacement for Milano shortly. 
• WR's are too slow.   Cooper is not an answer.   Coleman may turn out to be a long-term project, if he will be any good at all. 

Sad end to the season, but knew that KC was always looming.  

Need an absolute eater next to Ed so he can work more isolations. He has the talent, just not enough to be the monster you’d expect from a top 10 pick on the interior. 

Edge, I’m actually saddened by how little an impact Groot had. I was a huge advocate for signing him to an extension but honestly, I don’t even know if I would. Unless he plays lights out on this option for 2025, you let him walk. Need someone else out there. Would have liked to see them put Solomon out there a lot more if possible next season but I’ll understand if not. He lacks the prototypical size. 
 

CBs is an issue. I wouldn’t resign Douglas if I’m honest unless you’re upgrading the Safety position. Again lol. 
 

Wes you’re on the money. There’s no true downfield speed. Can’t rely on a 50/50 guy. Teams are just able to sit on everything underneath. The only time I saw that change was after Mack beat them on that deep seam. 
 

LBs? I’m absolutely fine with that group as long as they fix the defensive line. They can play very wel if the guys infront keep them clean.

I’m 44 and I’m not sure I won’t be suffering the same fate

Only team that stops cook is Bills, not playing him

Mahomes came out with ice water in his veins. Allen came out with Jell-O.

How about don’t let them go immediately down the field to the 10? Is there ever a time after the offense scores a big TD, that we can just get a ***** 3 and out? It’s always instant skates and 50 free yards in 3 plays. It’s the same show every season every game. Just fall back and pray the other team messes up. Make a stop

Yep. 29 points on the road against a good defence should be well enough to win.

KCs offence is good, but it's not great.

 

Defence continues to sh*t the bed against KC in the playoffs

He was under intense, immediate pressure... I can't see how he was late with the read running for his life.

 

There was an instant read to an open spot on the field where Kincaid was heading and Allen double clutched it when he realized too late the corner was sealing off the edge. If he reads it quicker he has plenty of time to lay that ball right on Kincaid for an easy conversion, imo.

[90sBills]

Watching Primetime with Bergman now. They’re saying that was a great disguised blitz on that last play that made Allen slid protection the wrong way.

[zow2]

So we the first team this playoffs to win the turnover margin and lose? ugh

[Bills!Win!]

Has anyone mentioned that Micah doesn’t get his Super Bowl? What a sad day

I would take Andrews any day. Kincaid is a bust. A joke. A nobody.

Can we cut von miller yet?

McDermott isn’t a horrible coach. He is just outmatched and is no where near equal to Reid. And that’s the difference. 

Im with you. 
 

I think the hope was for McDermott to lead a dynasty. That obviously isn’t going to happen. I believe our best chance (to win one Super Bowl) is to see if we can’t catch fire with a new coach. Be unpredictable for a year. 
 

I get the approach McDermott is taking and it’s admirable but it. Isn’t. Working. 

[Gilberto]

Next year is our year though… for certain

[JoshAllin]

Everyone makes those kincaid drops into catches vs the bills its insane at this point
