He’s thrown that same pass to Coleman several times in the past, actually. Problem is, Keon too often fails to make the catch. 

Because he shows up late!

Otto was a beast ... before color ...

 

I’m enjoying the scene right behind him the most.

Every game forward is a battle for this team, even the Jets game. I recognized this season as a retool year, so I wasn’t overly concerned, but the amount of positions that need to be addressed because Beane whiffed in multiple drafts with first and second rd picks is definitely a grave concern. I’m questioning Beane’s ability to GM, it’s not a good track record.

Beane's recent drafts have not been great, not good enough to improve the overall team,  but the jury is still out on a bunch of players.  The chances of getting immediate impact players is not great when you draft in last 4 picks, but he should be able to find some quality starters. 

Quickie summery: 

2025

1. Hairston CB - he could be a shut down CB and looks very good in limited action, a lot to be hopeful about 

2. TJ Sanders DT - getting reps, versatile, still way too early to say, was hurt for awhile 

4. Deon Walker Dt - looks like a good player. massive size and he has been noticeable in a good way

5.  Hawes TE - pretty good player and solid blocking TE

6. Dorian Strong and Jordan Hancock DB - both looked like good and were contributors, but then they both got hurt

2024

1. Coleman WR -  looks like a questionable pick right now

2.  Bishop SS - looks like he is emerging as a very good player.  

The rest of this draft is meh

2023

1.  Kincaid TE  is a very good player and our most reliable receiver 

2. Torrence G - Excellent OG, has started every game and  solidified the middle of the OL.  

3. Dorian  LB - looking good and a solid contributor

2022

1.  Kiiar Elam CB - a major bust

2. Cook RB - one of the best in the league

3.  Bernard LB - had a great start and was a playmaker, lots of injuries have slowed him way down unfortunately, his career may have peaked but hopefully not 

5.  Shakir WR - a good slot WR.    

6.  Benford CB - starter since rookie year.  very good when healthy

Or maybe someone hit the "eject" button a little too early.

Nope. Hes been crappy over the past 3-4 games. Call a spade a spade. Great comeback today. Hopefully he's turned the corner.

HATER MUCH?

Seriously? 3 times today he chose to throw an incomplete pass when the first-down run was there for him.

In this bizzaro world that is the NFL this year, are we now really rooting for the Chiefs to beat the Broncos?? WTF?

Never. KC is in the outside looking in right now. They need to be kept out. He’ll, they could very well be more of a competitor for us for a wild card spot than they are a head to head playoff matchup.

Not sure if that helped or hurt the Bills. Felt good tho.

At this stage, they just need to get into the playoffs. The line for the first team out just fell further back. This is a good thing. 

[shrader]

Can someone tell me why Hardman was moved onto the main roster as opposed to being activated off the practice squad? Is it an issue of only a certain number can activated and they needed to move one of him or Davis onto the active roster? I would have figured that the guy who has been with the team for more than a couple days would get that slot. Cap issues?

[Pimlach]

The Bills may just get it going.  
 

I think we saw something with Shavers and Palmer getting more snaps, and Coleman getting less.  Allen made a few mistakes, but he shouldn’t have to apologize for 6TDs.  

Thursday will be tough but winnable.  They still have a shot at the division, if not wild card.   It’s all about getting hot in December.

Always helps the Bills, they can beat every other team in the playoffs except the Chiefs.

Jordan Hancock has been getting snaps for several weeks now and I fully expect him to become our next Micah Hyde. Their career arcs are very similar.

Hawes probably makes it easier to get rid of Knox and his bad contract.

[PASabreFan]

TB really gave up with 38 seconds to go. Not sure I've ever seen a Defeat Formation.

Shakir is an EXECELLENT WR, slot or not 

That level of production from a day 3 pick is close to alchemy IMO

Sure 

When "crappy" = SIX TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS 🤣🤣🤣

Allen is earning his paycheck AND half of this team's (HC/OC/DC/GM and so on) IMO 

Do you remember what this team was like BEFORE Josh??? 

Have you seen what QBs are like on other teams? 

Josh's only failure has been masking the deficiencies of those around him and producing an unnatural W-L record, which keeps Buf from properly restocking the talent on this team, because they've been drafting at the mid to late 20s for 7 frigging years 

The draft is a crapshoot as it is, and NEVER drafting in the top half of the rounds seriously handicapps your team in regard to replenishing personnel 

Josh is the KING of making chicken salad out of chicken 💩

Keon is a mess 

He has NO dog in his game IMO 

Rather he's an immature underachiever who doesn't seem to be getting the message???

Josh has been woefully supported by Beane.
