Your reading comprehension levels are poor

This team was built to win or lose based on Josh’s performance

How many games did we win this year bc of the defense?
Just Baltimore by my count
How many games did we win this year by running the ball?
Maybe the 1st game against the Pats?
And how many did we win bc of Allen?
ALL the rest- 13


He is the major reason we win or lose-
bc that’s how this team was built

It’s ridiculous i have to spell all this out,
when it’s so utterly OBVIOUS

quote=jdfitz77]Our “elite” QB played like sh!t
Wasn’t good last week either

Great season though
Moving in a good direction

Epic failure on how much money they wasted on the Def line
$10mil Trent Murphy a healthy scratch most of the season when he could’ve been cut & that $$$ used to upgrade a position

Skipped over Dobbins to draft Epenesa (who barely did anything this year) and then drafted Zack Moss (who was average at best as well)

Bills leader in sacks this season?
Addison & Klein tied with ONLY 5
Great thing we extended Hughes... don’t know what we’d do without his 4.5sacks

Beane builds Def lines like GMTM built our defensive core.... poorly

Btw.... we spent more $$$ on our defensive line than ANY OTHER TEAM

No, not everything Beane & McDermott was a failure- but they did make some big mistakes

- jdfitz77


They constructed a top defense last year. It went the other way this year

What I would be more concerned about is how it appears they dont understand FGs dont beat mahomes. They made their bed on being wildly aggresive on offense this year and then sat back when it mattered the most

I was very excited when they actually went for and converted that 4th and 1 early in the game. Thinking it would be go time. Instead they started kicking field goals and punting after being gifted a touchdown by muffed punt

U need a good offense AND a good defense to beat the truly elite teams in the league on a regular basis
This mediocre defense cost us badly last night
That’s Beane & McDermott’s fault

Even if 2 of those FGs were TDs,
we still lose

I think star opting out hurt them more than we think. I don’t have a huge issue with money spent on the line feeling out what some players might do there.

I think bean cleans the d line up this off season. You get star back (and draft a new star?) and it frees up Oliver and the LBs. add to the pass rush and let’s see what we got....

Yes, i am also hopeful they recognize their failure in how they built the Def line & do a better job this offseason

If KC goes and smashes tampa there is only one 'truly elite team' in the league. Its not questionable. Kind of like how it isnt questionable that you need a top QB to really even have a sniff at the big game.

They need to make the defense better but I see no reason to believe they cant. They constructed a top 5 defense just last year

Ding ding we have a winner. Are defense had no answer for Kelce and Hill and they killed us.
- Buff36


As I predicted ... but anybody could see that was going to happen. When was the last time we have someone effective at covering a great TE ? Bennett ?

And then disconstructed it for this year
They wasted A LOT of cap $$$ this past year that we don’t have now
And we Milano & Hyde are UFAs
So we have to come up with room to sign them,
AND improve the defense
That’s gonna be tough to accomplish

Led us to only 3 FG drives whil KC was pulling away
He played poorly
Yes, KCs defense played a role in that
But at the end of the day, Allen had a bad game and that hurt us

He had much more than some bad throws to Beasley as well
Threw into double coverage a bit, putting 2 balls right in KC defenders’ hands that we’re lucky weren’t picked off (for specific example), and held on to the ball in the pocket too long (when guys weren’t open) instead of running

Allen didn’t play well
It’s ok to admit that
He’s still a good QB

Yeah, let's take as gospel the words of some hack "writer" already posting his cuts less than 15 hours after the game ended 😂😂😂😂😂

Thousands of wanna be GM's today who all think they have the answer, calling out the actual GM who built a team that went 15-4 this year.

See what Beane does this offseason the stuff that needs fixing is doable, my focus would be OLine, Dline, CB, MLB.

We spent more $$$ on the Def line than any team in the league
How did it look yesterday?

Beane/McDermott are NOT perfect
It’s ok to admit their mistakes

I'm mad they lost, but it was a hell of a season, lots of good stuff, with the right tweaks they should be able to take that next step.
