I can see no other way but that we need a mini rebuild. Too many holes. What I am sure of is that we no longer are a top contender. Cincy set the bar and it is not even remotely close. There will be no more hype (which in a way is good) and no more SB talk next year. In fact, Miami may be the favorite to win the division next year (I think McDaniels outcoached McDermott all 3 meetings). JA needs a new scheme before he has to retire at 32. Also (in this scheme) he is probably no longer a top 5 QB going into next year although his ceiling is still high (the MVP talk is now a distant memory). But what scares me is he refuses to scan the field like Burrow or Mahomes. It's bombs away or bust (throwing 40 yards on 3 and 2?... yikes). Lots of questions this offseason. A million issues we have now. We will probably be a lesser team next year. Can Beane fix it? His past 3 drafts have not been good. Get a real line and more weapons. Need a real NFL running game. I would love to see Reich in here.

That was a coaching mismatch. We have no chance until we get an offensive minded coach who understands the nuisances of the modern offense. 5 years in still no o line. Andy Reid fixed it in one off-season. No offensive identity. Zach Taylor got his team to the SB in year 2 of Burrow. SF turned the last pick into a proficient enough qb to take them to the championship game. There is no reason a gifted offensive mind could not turn Josh into a machine. Instead he’s going to be a wreck by year 7.

The early 90's Bills were still significantly better than this team. Even as much of a freak as JA is, those teams were special.

Next year will be a down year. Too many needs. I am also starting to see a pattern in Beane's drafting. It has actually not been good outside of his first one and the JA pick. Now we are in salary cap hell.

They will roll out the same staff next year and the same thing will happen.

Cincy is likely winning the SB. That is a juggernaut.

It’s been over since the first quarter.

Soul crushing loss. This team has eclipsed under the current staff. Without major bold changes we are wasting JA prime from this moment forward. Lots of major decisions need to be made. One thing I’m certain this staff won’t cut it.

Cowherd was spot on the whole time. mediocre o line no offense identity an archaic defense minded coach JA carries the team

Call Payton before he signs with Denver.

We are lucky it’s not a blow out yet. Almost total domination on both sides of the ball. Hopefully the coaches come up with something.

So far Zack Taylor and his staff is light years ahead of ours.

I have a bit different view. The mid to late 70’s, despite all that talent only made one true cup run. The 80’s were the infamous one and done years. The 90’s were probably the best based on having one of the greatest net minder’s of all time but failed because we didn’t build enough offensive depth. The 2000’s we had two great years and management’s ineptitude destroyed the team as fast as they made it. And since it’s been an unmitigated disaster with no true end in sight.

In the modern NHL, no team has gone more than 10 years. We are going on 13. Historically compared to other franchises, we have one of the worst records and least playoff appearances. It’s actually staggering compared to most other teams that have been around as long.

Interesting of the 8 teams remaining, McDermott is the only defensive coach left.

not even debatable as no team has ever gone this far into the abyss

I got fooled once again. I was convinced we turned the corner. Nope. Time to look to the draft once again. Another top 10 pick.

A college team can probably score 4 on this team.

We might have the worst defense of all time. We literally cannot keep any team from scoring at least 4 goals on us. Granato obviously must be terrible at teaching team defense concepts.

We are climbing back in it alright… the Bedard sweepsteaks. This team is done. Embarrassing.

Choked away the 3rd period. Maybe they can pull it out in OT.

Unbelievable.

What a goal.

Jost has been a nice pick up.
