It's Time To Have A Discussion About The Buffalo Bills... 

To me, the bills need to add a physical RB to the RB room. Josh Allen is going to wear his body down the way he runs. It happened to Cam Newton and Big Ben R for the steelers.

As a Bills fan, our coaching staff has continually held us back and until that changes we aren't going anywhere

I think one issue is that Sean Mcdermott doesn’t seem to want to invest in offense, and while we had a great defense last year the game against cincy showed how some of those investments aren’t panning out. I think the big thing buffalo needs is for james cook to develop and a strong o line. This postseason shows how important dabol was last year

My Dad told me that winning isn’t always about two sides who could win, but rather one good team and one bad team. Last year, Davis and Chase weren’t great against the Chiefs, he just took advantage of the poor defensive back team the Chiefs had last year. We had cornerbacks literally tripping and leaving their receivers wide open. I believe Davis didn’t drop off from last year, he just is what he is: a decent receiver. From a Chiefs fan.

Aaron Rodgers took over in Green Bay in 2008. He's only won one Super Bowl and that was in 2010. As good as he is he's proof that you need a complete team around you to win it all. The biggest concern for Buffalo is that they rely too much on Josh to win every game. There was one game this year, and I can't think off the top of my head whom it was against but the Bills ran the ball effectively. I though that they had turned a corner but they went out the next week and again put the offense on Josh's shoulders.

When Buffalo lost 4 straight Superbowls in the early 90s, I knew they were cursed to never see the Lombardi Trophy unfortunately

I feel like people will stop going so hard on their preseason super bowl favorites after this. The amount of praise the Bills were getting even before the season started was crazy. And if Von doesn't come back from his ACL at 100% then his contract is gonna start looking VERY VERY tough for the Bills.

I feel shocked that people who watched the Monday night game between Buffalo and Cincy before the damar injury didn't see the writing on the wall. That game in Cincy was going to be the same as Sunday if not worse

Losing Brian Daboll had a big impact on the Bills who looked like this was going to be their year to win a Super Bowl based on how much they were improving every year.

"It's never easy to win a Super Bowl in the NFL." Two sentences later: "Buffalo could very easily win it next year."

Bills defense gets the equivalent of Garbage Time stat padding. They look great beating up on bad teams, so they are always ranked high, but clearly can easily be picked apart by an elite offense.

It’s over for them Josh Allen’s contract is about to kick in and they gave a 33 year old a big contract that was coming off a injury. Super Bowl window is definitely closing

I’m a bills fan. I live in Buffalo. That game against cinnci was absolutely infuriating but if I’m being honest we weren’t the team we were last year because we were missing a lot of key players and it just got worse at the end of the season. Josh needs to get his emotions in check on the field. He is very passion about this game and this team and when he fails them he can’t bounce back

I hate it when our coaching staff consistently hold us back and doesn't change things when we have talent available for us. Like Leslie has done this 3 times in playoffs where they completely sell, overload our defense with 'checks' and doesn't trust our players to do their job.

In my opinion this is what happened to the bills this season, Josh Allen never fully recovered from that elbow injury and when Von Miller went down they didn't have anybody to step in his place. They introduced their rookie wide receiver too late and he has potential to be their number 2. That alone set their offense back from being as good as it could be. They have to draft Bijan Robinson and somehow fix that offensive line. If they do those two things and their defense can stay healthy they should be right back at the top next season. Not having Von Miller and Micah Hyde really hurt the team in the playoffs.

Allen throws haymakers where simply jabbing or gaging reach would suffice. Sometime you need to sustain drives to keep your offensive unit geling, while your defense rests, even if you only come away with 3 pts. Instead he'll attempt to ALWAYS make a play when the Bills are often times in a comfortable position. This postseason exposed this a lot. Their formula works to win with their current roster but against good teams you have to play tighter

Allen LOVES throwing it to the other team🤣🤣 Allen=Favre💯

I was telling my Bills fan friend how confounded I was when they signed Von Miller to that mega deal at his age, and I was just drowned out by the hype. Welp, here we are. It’s gonna be rough for a dude of his age to come back from an ACL, and even rougher when you take his cap hit into account. Ultimately, the issue with the Bills offense is they’re built on splash plays, and splash plays alone aren’t enough to win games consistently. Sure, you’ll have those 170 yd 2 TD games from Diggs and have enough of them to get in the playoffs, but when you’re in the playoffs you need to be able to rely on more than just one WR, be able to run the ball effectively and be able to protect your QB. The Bills haven’t proven they’re capable of doing any of that. Furthermore, age and injury have caught up to their defense, and it isn’t anywhere near as dominant as it was the last two seasons. The Bills desperately need to build their offensive line and desperately need to find another consistent weapon on offense. Another sneaky issue is Ken Dorsey. The guy has been showered in praise all season long but he runs games like a twelve year old playing Madden. Having Josh either heave the ball up 40+ yards or do designed QB runs every play, regardless of down or distance, is one word; stupid. Josh Allen can’t do it all on his own, and for the past few years that’s exactly what the Bills have been asking of him.

People are saying coaching staff but I wouldn’t fire McDermott if I’m the Bills I do get a new DC. Leslie Fraizer has shown time and time again that he can’t get it done when in big situations, whether the playoffs or as a HC.

it breaks my heart, my dad is a lifelong bills fan and all I want is for them to win it all once in his lifetime but every year they fall short. /:

As much as I thank McDermott for building the bills up it's very clear that he can't see how to get the bills over the hill.

💯!!! Always exciting when you drop!

Excellent analysis of the Bills roster. I’d love to hear your thoughts from a coaching/strategy point of view. I’m a Bills fan, but the reality is their window may already be closed. Jax and Miami look like the next serious contenders in the AFC, not to mention the Jets, Ravens, New England, and even Pittsburgh. If Tennessee can get a decent QB they’re also right up there. Playing a brutal first place schedule next season, Buffalo will certainly be challenged to get back to the divisional round, let alone to the Super Bowl. If they stand pat on player and coaching personnel, it’s almost guaranteed they will finish on the outside of the playoffs looking in.

Most people forget it took Peyton 8 years to go and win the superbowl

If losing in the playoffs is concerning, 31 teams better be shook every single off-season.

Great video, few thoughts I had: -Bills need that WR2 for sure, but is Khalil Shakir the secret to that? I'm a fan of him personally - They need help on the Oline, so I know they'll take some of the players from Carolina again LOL

Josh Allen is a great QB. He hasn’t shown up in big games. His best game was the divisional last year vs the Chiefs. Then the 13 seconds happened. Bills are one great performance away from the big game

The Bills are going to have to take into account the Bengals are likely to be in contention every year that Joe Burrow is healthy. Two years ago that was not necessarily expected. The AFC is probably going to be a fight between KC, Cincy, Buffalo and maybe one other contender each season for awhile.

Great video! Your stats, analysis, and and breakdown of them are great .

I do believe that once Miller comes back they will continue to be very good

I agree, offensive line is lacking, definitely in need of a receiver and running back. Defensively, Frazier has been consistent, the only problem I’ve seen from our D was the lack of pressure on any QB? even when VM was active on the roster they did get some penetration, not like we should be. Milano is a beast!! He’s a speed man a good spy sitting around the line. He’s had some good pressure and is productive every snap. We need some big bodies that can put pressure on the quarterback and stop the run. We fill them gaps and we are a solid team. I also think Dorsey needs to create some new plays or get someone in there who can get this offense clicking again. We are a passing team, with one solid receiver, Knox has taken up a lot of the slack. Beasley should have been used more, he has always been a great go to on 3 rd and short. I’ve been a fan since 1977 it’s been great seeing this organization turn around to what it is today, we have to keep this team productive. I will say one thing in their behalf. The did have to over come a lot of situations that arose. Between the passing of Dawson Knox’s younger brother, the storms, the shootings, then the Cinci game and the hit heard around the world. All of them problems were probably never really dealt with, they have to be ready for the following week. It might have all just had a chain reaction on them and they shut down, they lost their focus.

I think the bills are definitely going to have a tough offseason to navigate. They are currently 17M over the cap for 2023. This means they will have to somehow free up ~ 40M to sign rookies and just to navigate the season next year. On top of that they have pro bowlers in safety, ILB, and Guard all set to leave in free agency. Not saying the bills can’t over come this, just gonna be tough

Buffalo needs to draft a solid WR2, as well as interior line help on both sides of the ball.

4:40 I wonder if Joe Burrow will buck the trend, realize that his best chance at winning multiple Super Bowl will be to take a pay cut and ensure that they can afford to field a championship team year in and year out.

“It is not easy to win a SB” “The bills could easily win the SB next year”

I love your videos man, especially since you’re respectful to the players and teams. You just provide your analysis, and its nice to listen.

If we go offense in the draft, and get our stars back on D we will be right back. The Bengals have a qb and wr to pay, their cap situation is about to get a lot more tight

The Bills have been choking for as long as the Dolphins have been dysfunctional.

I’m not a bills fan but I can confirm that Gabe Davis is the definition of inconsistent had him on my fantasy team this year. I’m a Pats fan but if anyone in the division is going to succeed I’d rather it be Buffalo over Miami and the Jets if the Patriots don’t do well

They are a flawed team that's built for the regular season. Flashy QB with a rocket arm, diva WR, empty calorie running game, defense plays great with a lead but against a good team can get punched in the mouth..

Some of the points in the video have pretty obvious answers. Gabe Davis is a simply not a good route runner underneath like Diggs or Jeudy. He doesn't create the same separation as those guys, his cuts aren't as crisp, etc. He can give you some big play ability but he isn't going to give you reliable WR2 production. Saffold used to be pretty good in both phases early in his career, both at Tackle and when he eventually moved inside. But his last couple years in Tennessee you could already see the writing on the wall. Yea his pressure numbers were low but that's because the Titans throw it like 12 times a game. He saw nearly 800 snaps in pass pro this season, with a QB who likes to extend the play. He saw roughly 500 each of the last 2 seasons in Nashville. His PFF grades for pass pro dropped significantly in 2020 and then again in 2021. That wasn't going to improve by this point in his career. It was his run blocking that also tanked, showing if he plays anywhere in 2023 it should be for a team with a power run game and not a pass first zone system. This was just a bad signing. And the only issue with Von is his health. He had 45 pressures and 8 sacks in just over 10 games. That's on pace for 70 pressures and 13 sacks in a 17 game season. Dude was fine and will be fine again at that salary, if healthy.

Josh Allen has too much Brett Favre in him, way too many dangerous bad throws, the turnovers during the season and in the playoffs vs the dolphins and bengals show he’s not that guy, the bills defense is also overrated they couldn’t stop the run and Joe burrow did whatever he wanted against them and without von miller has no chance of rushing the passer, they are complete frauds

The Bengals ran the ball down the Bills' throat over and over. They need interior D-Line badly.

I would pump my breaks on the whole thing. They got the biggest piece: the QB. Must be more efficient on offensive. More short passes less deep drops. Better game flow. They got dominated up front against the Bengals it happens. I expect hyperbolic reactions when KC or Cinci loses as well but i doubt we will see it.

This year was really depressing for the Bills in the end. I was super excited to see their fan base finally be able to have a Super Bowl. I love Josh Allen, and it would’ve been such a cool story for them to go all the way for Damar Hamlin. I’ll still be rooting for them the entire time until they get there ✊

I still think they’ll pull off an sb win in the Mcdermott era but they need to address some issues

This was an excellent analysis of the team. "When it mattered most" is the operative phrase. This team won 13 games. When was the last time we saw that? The question now is, can we retain, draft or sign the guys needed to get past the big dogs.

"You have to hit on the supplemental pieces just as much as you hit on the stars, maybe even more." Truer words were never said about this sport. I love this sport to death, but it does feel like the key to winning super bowls now, outside of having a top 5 freak QB, is having a roster chock-full of guys who aren't getting paid but should be...

Josh is young he have more than enough time to win the superbowl

The AFC has their cowboys! It’s our year disease in full effect!

“Poor Josh doesn’t have a good number 2 receiver!” Meanwhile, Mahomes is winning Super Bowls with a hodgepodge of like, 8 number 3’s. Fix the O line, get a running back, and tell the defense to show up in the playoffs…

Problem is the Bills front office tried building a team to beat the Chiefs and forgot they play in Buffalo come playoff time....

Bills fans, I feel your pain. At least yall made it past the wild card round. We got beat by a team we should be better than. On paper anyway.

When you give up 30 (as in THIRTY) first downs in a playoff game (AT HOME) against a Bengals OL which was missing 3 starting players, it should have been mentioned in your video. I think that some change(s) in the coaching staff must be considered, if not made.

It’s a shame with Stefon diggs and gave Davis being on the field were saying Josh Allen needs a better WR2 but Lamar Jackson gets no excuses playing a season with Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson as WR1 & WR2….

Is that old school Mike Korzemba background music??

4:40 I'm calling it now that Burrow will sign a team friendly contract so they can keep the team together and bring in more talent - much like Brady did his whole career.

Love for the Bills from Australia 🇦🇺

It happens, another team "gets your number". The Browns did that to Cincinnati and you'll find this kind of paradigm all through the NFL. A great team and a great season that fell short, that's all. I do think that coaches fail to see their own repeated play calling, which others catch on to. So, mixing things up without showing coaching patterns is very important.

Can't wait for your jags vid!

That last step -- from very good to champion -- is the hardest one. The league was 100% behind the Bills in this year's tournament, ignoring existing rules to bend "unforeseen circumstances" in Buffalo's favor. They squandered that opportunity, and aren't likely to get a better one anytime soon. Were I a Bills fan, I would be concerned, yes.

Honestly I don’t think it’s that big of a concern. I think there is some things that need addressed on the coaching staff (and not firing a low level coach, your DBs were not an issue) but it’s still a very competitive team that has a lot of future left.

Just found out about the channel, really enjoyed the analysis. Keep it up

talking about gabe davis situation as a vikings fan i understand why, its great to have one top tier receiver on the team but 2 and while the fans expectations that both will have an insane year is farfetched. The same thing happened with Diggs and Thielen, both amazing receivers but one is just going to get more passes.

Buffalo probably will be the next green bay, just stuck in playoff purgatory

The Bills need to draft a #1 running back to take pressure off Josh Allen, develop a running game, which will open up the passing game. The Bengals proved what having someone like Joe Mixon can do to an offense, Singletary and James Cook, give me a break! Lastly, signing Von Miller was a huge waste of money as he approached his mid-30's. Beane is losing his magical touch in my opinion.

I’ll never unsee “SkylarThompson is a drunk Travis Kelce who decided to play QB”

The Bills will be just fine. Nex time they will scout better & prepare better. The truth is that Zac Taylor & his staff have matured & gelled. They can change what they do on both offense & defense & take away what the opener does best. The Bills scouting report didn’t forewarn. So the Bills got smoked as if they played a team they hadn’t seen on film. They’ve beat the CHIEFS 3 times in a row. They’re coaching staff has gotten good & so has Burrow. Might sound Crazy but Zac Taylor & Joe Burrow reminds me of Bill Walsh & Joe Montana. Walsh later “iit was the beginning of Camelot”. Maybe something special is happening with Cincinnati.

The Bills just need to stick with it. Don't panic and continue to build the right way. Add a few more pieces. They have come so far these past two seasons. They were in the wilderness for so long. Don't make the mistake of blowing it all up so soon.

I don't understand why QBs ask for so much money. Isn't a ring more valuable than 20 million dollars? Also, please fire Dorsey. His play calling never worked out with all these weapons. It's clear he isn't OC Material

Wooooow, now they haven’t done enough to build around him, that excuse is ridiculous

I got a bad vibe right away in that Cincy playoff game, there seemed to be a lack of energy that normally comes from this team. They played flat and uninspired, it was gut wrenching to watch.

A lot of people still don't see the big picture, and only look at the headlines with short attention spans. Yes, the Bills looked damn good coming into this season. When a GM and coach have a roster they're comfortable with before a season, unforseen problems can occur and change the trajectory of the team. ie: OL not playing as well as they did last year. Hyde out for the year. Poyer playing injured. Losing CBs as soon as one comes back. Gabe Davis not stepping up like we all thought he would. Knox being invisible as a pass catcher early on. McKenzie not stepping up into that slot role, plus losing Crowder early on, who was the veteran slot guy. Losing Von. Jordan Phillips battling injuries all season. Not to mention, stubborn coaches on both sides of the ball refusing to adjust, or break their stubborn ways(LESLIE) -These guys were brought in or expected to step up and shit went wrong, it happens. Take all that, along with all the short weeks from primetime games, coupled with all the off-field tragedies in the Buffalo area and the Damar incident, and it takes a toll on these guys. They're human beings, and like they said after the Cincy loss, "We just ran out of gas." And casual football fans and trolls will say "Nah they choked lol" but just refuse to look at all the evidence. There's excuses, and then there's x-factors that directly have impacts on a team. Bills just couldn't overcome *everything*. Not sure many teams could have either.

I am a LONG TIME Buffalo Bills fan so I may be a bit biased, but I do have a good feeling about Khalil Shakir as a WR moving forward....

In their final game, they looked like a team that never played before.

I would like to see us go heavy on the OL and DL this offseason. Even go OL in the early rounds of the draft unless there's an outstanding FS or SS that slips in the first round.

What really got me was how they were just never in that game against Cincinnati at all. Maybe the rollercoaster of a season just wore them down to the point that there was nothing left? Idk. But, it felt like all the emotion and adrenaline should have been with them in that game and its like it just never happened. But then again, there''s reasons why coaches try to keep distractions to a minimum and for this team that was just possible. And they're human, things are going to affect them. And they're young, for some of this, this was probably the first life and death type trauma they've experienced or had happen right in front of them. Clearly in like the first game after Damar's cardiac arrest the emotions and adrenaline carried them through but I mean, that doesn't last forever. Obviously there are other issues here that are more football related, like coaching, injuries, and so on. But the fact that they fell so utterly flat in front of a home crowd with Hamlin in the stadium, it felt like more than just those things.

The Bills are fine.. Allen isn't the first quarterback to not get over the postseason hump early on.. The cap situation should not be as troubling either, they'll just have to allocate resources differently and instead of signing vets to big money deals, the draft and cost effective free agency bargains become imperative to complement and fill the roster 🤷🏻‍♂️ Look at the Rams in past years.. Mahomes' contract is also not holding the Chiefs back yet. Cincy should be ok as long as they build around Burreaux and Chase. But yeah, Buffalo does need upgrades at RB and WR2-4, as well as likely a replacement for Von Miller to make some more deep runs.

I will say this about pass rush I would think it’s harder on defense in the snow probably

Being from buffalo... to see them progress and our picks to actually bare fruit in Allen and adding Diggs and Miller we are only gonna get better as long as we stay healthy.. deep breath!! been saying it since 1994 there's always next year..

Y’all complaining about the bills not giving Allen enough weapons when Lamar is throwing too Drob devin duv and Sammy Watkins 😂

Bills have no talent lol. All they have is allen and diggs .. the main thing is that they need to get a running game

🏈 “U” have the elite talent of analytics unmatched by anyone 🏈 ✌️❤

W vid and analysis on this team that gotta get bettee

Toughest schedule in the league and they had three losses by a combined 8 points in the regular season and in all those games you can make a strong case they had no business losing. For a large portion of the season they had the largest point differential in the nfl. Top 5 d and o. Suddenly everyone “ knew it all along” and the window has “ closed”. They have issues but can anyone be more dramatic? They dealt with a ton of injuries and were without Von , Hyde, Hamlin and jones plus Poyer, white, Oliver, Rousseau, Milano, and Phillips are clearly not themselves although they played. Tons of wild and unpredictable adversity this year and they just ran into a buzzsaw in Cincinnati who is peaking at the right time ( Bills peaked too early). Everyone needs to take a deep breath and get some perspective. This was and is a very good team. They will be back. Again and again.

Beane has a 5-15mill coupon built in for all 3 guys. That they can cash in every year if they need to. The cap I’m not entirely worried about. I am worried about the McDermotts rotational starter issues. Stop rotating cb, slot wr, te, DL. Regardless this team took a step back for the first time. Dorsey’s scattered offense only got where it did cuz of 17. Almost a week later I still think it’s time for Frazier to go and Dorsey too. When New OCs are having instant success with much lesser talent. Getting bounced 3 years in a row because of coaching means next year won’t be different. We said that last year they will learn from it. They Don’t. It’s time for a new HC.

Couldn’t agree more that Bills need a running back and offense line, it would change everything Josh is fine!!!

This is a great video from a bills fan. Lots need to change to get back on track

I I’ve faith that Sean and Brandon will figure it out shakir will step up in the slot next year and I do see us drafting a wr 2 in the first round to give Davis comp also I see us picking up a power back like diontae foreman to back up james cook i also believe in our ability to find quality linemen in the draft or even in free agency we have before Ed Oliver and Rousseau but we need someone a team has to worry about other wise we’ll never get over this hump

Being a Bills fan living in Buffalo it actually annoyed me when so many in the media overhyped the Bills. They have had a lot of flaws going back to the 2020 season when they made the AFCC Game the offense just got hot at the right time the past two years. Ya some players where in a prove it year like Davis, Rousseau, Oliver, and much of the O line and they never truly showed consistency. An many fans have had our questions about this front office cause none of the flaws where ever really addressed. An I told people all year that a game like that was going to happen in the playoffs. Fourth year in a row McDermott was completely out coached. I’d like to see the Bills get a offensive HC. But that ain’t happening this offseason, especially after all the shit the team went through this season. 🤷‍♂️

Kinda hard to believe the Bills started the way they did and the Bengals started 0-2.

You need a top 10 D and an offense that shows up when needed, no idea how you get that from an algorithm but if you ever can then you'll always be close, then some luck and the applying the most passioj will get you over the top. The 18-0 patriots should've shown everyone that no matter how great your team is overall that you will still lose if your players don't show up on the day... Football is passion and you need passion to win.

Seeing the Bills downfall is so beautiful

Let’s not overreact. They’re going to be an elite team for the next 5-7 years. As long as they have Allen and diggs. I’m not saying you did overreact (I didn’t watch the video) but I feel like they’re building something good in Buffalo. Do you remember the Bledsoe years? Just keep going, Buffalo, you have the talent. Take the bilachick approach. One week at a time, one game at a time. Come back stronger next year.

I guess we'll just keep watching Josh Allen run around like a chicken without a head.

Josh Allen looked like he regressed without Dabol. Ken Dorsey doesn't seem like a guy that can help keep Allen's emotions in check.

Allen is still a top tier QB, yes he makes mistakes but you can’t deny he is an amazing talent. The problem is he has no O line to protect him and an OC that is dead set on only throwing and not running the damn ball. Mix that with a horribly coached defense by Frazier and the bengals game is what you get.

Coaching has let us down every year in postseason, we have the players to succeed but our schemes on defense and offense suck Vs good teams, it ends up being Allen trying to do everything himself and our defense gets shredded

Diggs homerun trade? Didn't the Vikings use that pick on Justin Jefferson? Imagine him with Josh Allen if he put up numbers with kirk cousins.

I think people need to calm down. I grew up not even knowing what it was like to watch the Bills in the playoffs, now it’s SB or bust. Crazy to be “concerned” about a 14-4 team this year
