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.

agreed. they rely too much on JA and Singeltary is great but they need to get better RB at their run game. Look what CM niners run game.

They need to get bigger at ever position just about and yes, including the RB. I said this all year, imagine if we had a bruiser RB that teams respected. The whole defense is undersized at every position.

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.

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.

@Colbias14 the defense blew the Superbowl but the Preseason Favorites were the Bucs & The Bills Followed by the Packers & Chiefs and The Rams & Bengals. Eagles had the 13th Best Odds to win the Superbowl. Eagles did their Job, when you lose the Superbowl By 1 Score to another one seed it's not "blowing it" or "choking". You ran into a better coach, and got outschemed. Chiefs weren't some hapless nobodies like the Bengals Last Year. They were 14-3. Bills had Everything set up to benefit them, they even got OT Rules changed for them cause they cried that they couldn't win a coin toss, and they even had a Neutral Site AFCCG planned for them, and they absolutely choked. Got blown out on their home field, in their weather conditions, vs the Bengals. 10 Points. Now that's a choke. Losing to Mahomes 38-35 in a SB isn't blowing it. It's a failure. It's coming up short, something your poverty Bills know all about. But I forgot, you guys won your SB in Week 6.

[@IronManiac]

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.

[@maximad5997]

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.

[@UnknownSageMaster]

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

[@SlimTim222]

You’re right about the haymakers vs. jabbing, but it wasnt all on Allen’s decision making. McKenzie was supposed to step into Beasley’s short slant role and provide Allen with that short gain security blanket. He just couldn’t do it. Dorsey’s play calling didn’t scheme guys open either.

[@bambi882]

Its hard to see those simple short passes when your O-line collapses in 0.5secs every play and you have to scramble around for your life.

[@PeteZam]

@@bambi882 thats literally when you use fast passes...when your line is trash. if your line is trash you get the ball out as fast as possible. allen cant help himself, he just has to extend the play and run around. but thats because hes an ape that cant read a defense fast enough, so it makes sense why he is incapable of a fast precise passing game, because that requires a QB that isnt a pea brain ape

[@i13tony]

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.

[@corneliusbuttfudge2061]

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

@@MrShanester117 they need to develop a consistent run game next year that doesn’t involve Allen

[@brendonbuffaloe8830]

I agree they need to add more talent so that Josh Allen isn’t having to carry as much of the load, but relying on a running back to develop is stupid. If James Cook was a good NFL running back, he would’ve showed it this year. Almost every good running back in NFL history has been good from the moment they stepped on the field, because it is a position that transfers almost seamlessly to the NFL from college. I knew they were stupid when they passed on Dameon Pierce for James Cook, but I’m glad my Texans got him

[@MattDeFabbio]

@@brendonbuffaloe8830 I mean, I didn't care for drafting Cook in the first place, since I thought Singletary was more than capable, along with Duke Johnson and Blackshear back in the preseason...but the brass went a different direction. But how can you say Cook "should've showed it this year?" He hardly got any touches! Especially early on in the year. 10 or less carries in a game is NOTHING, especially if the line isn't schemed to run block creatively. Not every RB is gonna go to the house on every hand off

[@tomcoon9038]

I feel we need to build an offensive line in order to give JA17 time to pick his receiver. Not panic mode all the time. Then have a line that can make holes that my grandmother can walk through. Instant offense solved. On defense? Goodbye Frazier. Your bend not break gets eaten ever big game against quality opponents.

[@CMCFLYYY]

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.

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.

That was in a different era when the cliff between what rookie QBs and prime QBs made wasn’t as large.

[@terranceramirez4816]

@Kougami which is why I continue to say that the NFL needs to fix the problem with the rookie/prime QB contract cliff. The case could be made that maintaining a hard cap as opposed to implementing a Bird rule as the NBA did when they implemented their rookie wage scale enhances competitive balance as it maintains the even footing between small and large markets, it is manifestly anti-parity as it drastically limits the amount of teams that can actually win a championship while not preventing teams like the Rams from using cap games to build stacked rosters (at least from a top-line POV, their depth still sucked)

[@terranceramirez4816]

@Kougami it also makes the NFL weirdly kakistocratic as the prohibitively surest path to a championship is to have a top-5 draft pick QB on a rookie contract and picks that high generally only accrue to the worst organizations. Thus, the most poorly run teams actually have a great competitive advantage (see cf Bengals, Cincinnati) while well run teams are rewarded with an indefinite stay in purgatory that essentially requires luck to leave.

[@scottykilmer]

Let's face it. The bills defense stinks against good teams. Their secondary is garbage . Their defensive coordinator has no idea what to do when a team is being overwhelmed as shown by the loss. Last year in Kansas City with 13 seconds left. Couldn't stop anything. And in the beginning of the Cincinnati game they couldn't stop anything either. No one was coordinating that defense that's for sure. If they don't get rid of that bum defensive coordinator, they're never going to win anything. And in the games that really meant something their past rush was useless. Old Vaughn Miller isn't going to win any super bowls anymore. Unfortunately you can see the whole team is going downhill now. Jim Kelly could play in the snow but I can't say the same for Allen or diggs. With the way this league works I can't see buffalo going anywhere but downhill from now on.

Allen is a pea brain QB that only plays hero ball, so he throws 40 yard bombs when they need a yard. and without daboll there to reign in his nonsense, you saw the clear regression this year from allen. the window has closed on this team. allens contract is about to kick in. you couldnt even win when allen and diggs only had like a 29 million cap hit, vs burrow and jamar at 17 million. now next year, burrow and jamar are only 18 million, but allen and diggs jumps up to 60 million. both the bengals and chiefs will easily stay ahead of this iteration of the bills, its over for this team.

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. 🤷‍♂️

[@williamwright7892]

I think it is starting to become clear, the Bills are becoming the Packers of the AFC. What I mean, is that they look great in the regular season, get everyone's hopes up, then come the playoffs, they find a way to fall short. Rogers with the Packers only went to one Super Bowl, and granted they won it, the Packers looked phenomenal multiple years, yet only one Super Bowl appearance, despite having a great QB at the helm, weapons around him, and a typically solid defense. When I watch the Bills in the playoffs I always think "they're good", never "they're great". Only time they truly looked great in the post season was last year against the Chiefs (in which the offense looked great, defense was horrible). Teams like the Bengals and the Chiefs seem to elevate their play when they reach the playoffs, Bills seem to struggle with this. If Buffalo can't start finding ways to take the next step, they could very well find the Jets, Dolphins, and maybe even the Patriots rising up to take the division.

the Bills vanilla defense kills me, they don't blitz, Leslie Frazier just wants to attempt to get coverage sacks - he needs to be let go.

Josh Allen needs to focus on ball security moving forward I'm getting tired of the empty trips when doing nothing will get you 3 points at worst. Tremaine Edmunds also needs to go, he reacts to plays in front of him, has little awareness and anticipation- I've seen him cover grass way too often. Ed Oliver is kind of basic too. Shake it up because the Jets and Dolphins are coming.

[@vizzini589]

Agree 100% with this analysis. Offensive line, and receiver have to be a priority. The only thing I would ad is Edmonds status. While I think he's a good football player, he's not a middle linebacker, and there is no way they can pay him the money he'll get. With as much nickel as the Bills play would rather see a thumper back there who is great against the run.

You spoke a lot about players, but from my eye when one side of the ball regresses uniformly you also need to look at coaches.

Replacing daboll seems to have been a noticeable step back for the bills and is something worth discussing imo.

I agree, its not easy with a first year OC and a lot play calling was questionable but at the same time dorsey wasnt the one dropping the balls like mckenzie or davis. when they catch he looks great when they dont its a bad play call.

[@bufnyfan1]

The Bills will really need to bring their "A" game each and every week next season. The Jets are essentially just a QB away from being a very strong contender in the AFC East. All it would take for the Bills to have to happen is for Allen to go down with a season-ending injury and that would essentially end their season. Hence McDermott and Beane have to decide if they think RB Cook is going to be the RB going forward or to either look or draft for a RB elsewhere. They also need to address the need for another quality WR to complement and help Diggs. With very little to no cap space Beane is going to have to be a magician to bolster this lineup.

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).

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

[@RCSTILE]

Josh Allen needs to learn he is in the NFL and his college "HERO BALL" attitude doesn't work in the pros. An example, you are loosing by two scores in the forth quarter and are desperate for first downs and you continue to throw 30-40 passes to your wide outs. In the meantime you have a slot receiver named Cole Beasley who in his two full seasons with the Bills caught 160 passes, 57% of them for first downs. In this game he had three catches for 33 yds. all for first downs and you don't throw to him when you need first downs. The Bills resigned Beasley at the end of the season for this very reason That's "HERO BALL" and it cost them any chance at winning.

[@MitchellMrHockey]

As a Bills fan, I’m not as much concerned over the defense and receiver as I am with the run game. For me, the top priority is the offense line and the run game. They lose winnable games because their whole offense runs through Josh. They need a backup plan for when he’s not clicking (aka the run game). If they beat the Dolphins(lost 21-19) or the Jets (lost 20-17) they would’ve played the Jags and not the Bengals

Josh Allen was the third highest paid player in the NFL this season. To his credit, that makes him the only Top-5 paid QB to even make the playoffs this season. The other 4 were Stafford, Wilson, Rodgers and Murray. The QB market is completely out of control and teams that pay their QBs top dollar are suffering for it. It's not a coincidence that the 4 QBs to make the conference championships were 3 guys on their rookie deal and Mahomes on a very team friendly contract without a huge cap number this year. Buffalo was lucky they still have so much young talent. They're also lucky that Allen's cap number is actually a few million lower this coming season with a higher cap, so they may be able to keep most of their talent together for another year or two.

[@CowboyPrestige101]

Miller contract ages poorly and Allen is a turnover machine. Hard to win big games with a QB who just as easily turn it over 3 times as score 3 TDs.

Look at the Miami game 3 of the worst turnovers you'll ever see from a so called elite QB. No, he's not. He'll be the reason they never win anything. Those terrible turnovers at bad times will make sure of that.

[@corey2232]

Injuries to key players all over the defense, awful O-line, lack of skill position talent.. It's literally just the Allen & Diggs show. But people like Nick Wright will gladly pin it all on Allen, even though he's the primary reason they were 13-3, held the 1 seed for much of the year, 40+ TD season (again), etc Sure, 14 INTs is high for him, and 6 fumbles sucks, but when you're running for your life immediately after snap & having to rush so much on broken plays, of course you're going to have more turnovers. Front Office has failed for 4 straight years with all the 1st round picks on defense. Their 1st round pick this year got beaten out for the starting spot by a 6th round rookie n the same class! That shouldn't happen if you made the right pick in the 1st! And signing Von Miller was an indictment of their failures! They spent a 1st & 2nd round picks on edge rushers in 2021, but they failed to produce, so here's a $120 million contract due to our bad picks! That money could've been helped on the O-line, but instead they keep using 2nd round picks & trades on a rotating room of RBs... none of which can excel behind that line. The Bills WRs lead the league in drops... so they sign 2 guys off the streets that no team wanted, Beasley & Brown, just out of desperation. People liked to bring up Allen's 5 redzone INTs this year... why do you think that is? His first 4 years, he was the BEST at TD/INT ratio with 0 INTs! No protection, instant pressure, drops everywhere, broken plays... he didn't suddenly forget how to pass. All of that PLUS a 1st time OC in Ken Dorsey calling plays. Allen had Daboll for 4 years, now had to adjust to a new signal caller the 1st time in his career. And for a down year, 42 TDs, 4200 pass yards, 750 rush yards is ok. People compare him to prime Cam Newton, but Allen already has put together better seasons than Cam... he just happens to play in a league with Mahomes. Mahomes is the #1 best QB talent in the league, no question. Allen could put up numbers that'd win MVP any other year, but not when Mahomes is healthy. That said, you don't need to be the BEST to win a SB. You can just be "great" if the rest of your team is good. Bills are too Allen-centric. They need help. Until then, non-Bills fans will blame it all on Allen, even though you can clearly see all the other flaws.

[@puckhead1221]

The reason Allen threw to Knox and Singletary over Davis (in the loss to the Bengals) had nothing to do with faith in Davis. It had to do with the EXTREMELY Wet and Windy conditions. It was check down city. And that's Joe Burrows game. The bad weather eliminated the deep ball which favored the Bengals. If that game is dry and not windy it helps Allen more than Burrow. Also the Bills needed Von Miller and Daquan Jones' pass rush. Normal weather conditions and Von Miller in the lineup makes for a completely different game.

[@franbacon82]

The Bills need to heavily focus on becoming a run-dominated team. Allen needs to just make the short passes. Clock management is important. Go for the long passes once in a while, but not all the time. Just because you have a QB with a strong arm doesn't mean you bomb it on every down. Run the ball down the throats of other teams, have Allen run the ball on occasion, and control the clock. What we are built to do now isn't getting us to the promise land.
