Huh? I am not sure how deep a team is supposed to be. 

Cincinnati deep would be nice. 

 

Having players who are physical would be nice.

 

I'll tell you how this plays out, feel free to pin. The bills are going to win two, maybe 3 more games. The excuse will be injuries, keeping McDermott around.  Bills will draft a safety, a CB, nd bring in some tier three wrs, no help for the OL.

 

Next year they win another 8 or 9, probably with injuries again because nickel defense.

18 points. Disgusting. 

31 points in 9 quarters in the past year.

 

They spent 3+ years building a team to beat KC, but now can’t beat Cincinnati.

 

Considering the schedule, it’s pretty hard to envision this team playing in January.

You are always such a ray of sunshine.

Disappointed. The next 5 games are tough. The offense execution and play calling are problem. Not only this game but now there is several data points indicating that. Combine with mounting injuries to the defense it is going to be uphill battle. First time I will not hear press conference don’t want to hear all cliche excuses. Beane and pegula should be disgusted. This offseason there will need to be retooling of the team and consider bringing in an established OC imo. Seen enough. Teams have figured out allen and the offense. Offense need a real run game and a true #2 receiver. Right now imo Shakir is deserving of that and demote Davis #3. What do they have to lose at this time. The defense is a real liability the injuries are too much to overcome they can’t really stop anyone consistently and get off the field. That my opinion. It is so sad.

But you know I'm right. It's how this team IS.

Well, you are correct. 17 games does not allow for .500.

What's your prediction for wins?

 

7. Maybe 8.

Watched Josh’s postgame.  He looks as confused as we all do.

[Ninety-4]

Josh Allen is an overpaid, underachieving, middling QB so far in 2023.  He has 1 blue chip performance against a winning opponent this year.  Flame away.

Not good at all. There are serious issues with this team. IMO

Because that same player is not 100%.
 

Cincinnati barely looked like a playoff team with an injury to one important player, bills lost 5 of them. 

[Nouseforaname]

That being said I really enjoyed watching the Allen era but the bills are not going to win a Super Bowl any time soon.

Ok, so I have narrowed my BP to one of 3 things.

Stimulants: had coffee on the ride home from my daughters and a couple pieces of candy.

Buffalo Bills: when they play like this I see some elevation. 

Billsfans.com: Boy, we have become ATOP during and after a loss.  Wanting to fire the coach that has helped get into the playoffs the only seasons in nearly 2 decades. Wanting to move on from one of the best QBs in the NFL.

Which of the 3 should I give up or should I do 2 of the 3 or give up all 3. I just dont know any more.

I'm back with your weekly reminder that Dorsey is not it. In addition to that I also feel that.....

 

- Von Miller appears to have been a waste of money up to this point

- McDermott seemingly can't win in head to head situations 

- Josh Allen's career will be wasted

- Beane may have misjudged his ability to complete the process. 

- Yes, injuries....refs..... I get it. 

- At least we are consistent with over paying players for their contributions. Solid.
