Buffalo Bills The offseason begins

[Dirty Dog]

Serious question, how many times have we lost by more than one score in the last three years? How many times by double digits?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Ehhh

Last 5 years you got Rousseau, Bernard, and Benford who are your impact players. Only 3 impact guys on D over 5 years isn't enough.

Biggest problem is they get good but not game-wrecking elite guys. And sure, it's hard to find those game-wreckers, but they gotta get some home runs instead of getting singles and hoping they can win that way.

Mahomes has a 10 quarterback rating at the half. That has to be up there among the worst half’s for a QB in NFL history.

I think the Baltimore game was our only double digit in a certain amount of years, and I think was the only one with more than one score.

It’s not “hoping they can win that way.” This team lost the AFC championship game by three points while playing a bad game…and having a ball dropped that put them in FG range. This team, the way it has been built and coached, is clearly good enough to win a Super Bowl. But i agree, having a game wrecker on defense, especially a pass rusher, would really improve the team.

In what was widely acknowledged as a "reset" year before the season began - especially on defense. We had the 4th highest dead cap number in the league.

Eating Mahomes alive. Love it.

 

[Ace]

Our defensive performance (it’s the big one before that tiny one) now in chart form!

Injuries and age turned our secondary into an even bigger weakness over the course of the season. I expect a little money to be spent on the secondary this offseason.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Mahomes going from a McDermott defense to a Fangio defense must feel like someone changing the settings on your game from rookie to legendary while you’re in the bathroom

What are you talking about? Fangio is rushing a straight 40 front with no help. Aside from some of the man defense the Eagles are talking about, Fangio has run two high safeties all game and hasn’t blitzed.

It couldn’t be more like McDermott’s defense.

The difference is the defensive line, primarily with support from the defensive backfield. It’s not coaching.

 

[KiwiGriff]

Just turned on the game next to me at work. All I can say is

ahahahahahaha

That is all.

I suspect we'll have a new boundary corner to replace Douglas but I think Bishop/Rapp will be the starting duo at safety. They still don't have all that much money to spend (especially if they're in the market for Garrett). Honestly I'd like to improve at Bernard's spot too. The bloom is coming off that rose a little bit for me.

It's already been shown Ace will invent narratives out of thin air to criticize McDermott...I wouldn't bother, he'll keep repeating the same things going forward on the NFL board.

after the SB tonight, we should take a look at what FA are available and discuss here

 

[Ace]

People are going to try to tell you this game is proof they weren’t rigging games for the Chiefs.

It isn’t.

It’s proof of what happens when they hand pick a team that needed massive help to get somewhere they didn’t belong.

What’s the draft kings over under on Andy Reid? 400 lbs?

He's lost 150lbs and that's really not funny

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Great, 3 months of what D-linemen the Bills are going to draft to become the Eagles starting now...

What’s dumb is, you aren’t seeing how the Eagles have the best secondary in the league.

 

[brian_griffin]

I saw that online too. I just don’t see it. Literally. I know cameras add pounds but he still has to be closer to 300 than not. Some claims he’s down to 200 (???!!!) I’m skeptical. Glad he lost weight - it wasn’t sustainable at his age and height.

 

[oldgoalie]

Wow. What an ass kicking.

 

[Der Jaeger]

I get it that it’s in jest, but I’d take the first three picks in a heartbeat.
