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.
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.
It’s like Tom Brady. He would’ve never won as many super bowls as he did if he didn’t have Gisele. Because she made so much money, he could take much cheaper contracts so belichick could build his amazing defenses
The thing is Super Bowl takes an insane amount of luck and the right breaks. But sometimes I wonder if it's destiny. When it's your year it's your year and that's just how it goes Look at the 18-1 Patriots they did every right in the regular season and most of the playoffs except the Super Bowl They played dam near perfect yet failed in the biggest game of all. They had the talent and coaches to do it as well But ultimately it was the Giants Super Bowl year
@@JDBass36 Agreed, but it also takes coaches putting their players in the position for the best chance of success. Bills coaching staff does the complete opposite.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
There was NO ELBOW "injury". He tweaked it a bit and was fine by the next day, ....and then was summarily OVER-DRAMATIZED for the following weeks. Maybe you should look up the Brian Tuohy channel to learn how the NFL actually works.
Stop with the injury excuses. Everyone suffered devastating injuries. San Fran lost it's QB. Cincy had 3 backups on the o line and the bills d still couldn't stop them.skykar Thompson almost beat you. You lost to Zach freaking Wilson.
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.
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
You can’t really extrapolate one drive into a whole game, especially since Cincinnati has been known to want the ball first and score on their first possession all season long
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
The Bills literally choked in a year where everything was set up for them. Now granted, my Eagles also lost & "Choked" a bit on Defense, but our season was successful, we won a playoff game and the division, which was our preseason expectations, We Went to the SB and Lost. Buffalo is in huge trouble. BAL and CIN aren't going away. And the Jaguars will get a Study Defensive Player. It's KCs Conference & KCs League. And BUF can't even beat the 2nd Best AFC Team.
@@thomassankara1391 I’m an eagles fan myself and the eagles for sure exceeded my expectations. I did not see Hurts having this season. I was expecting him to win 11-12 games at most, win the division and a playoff game. I didnt expect them to reach the superbowl so I am proud of Philly. I wonder what the expectations are now however. Things change so quickly in the NFL.
@@thomassankara1391 what was exactly set up for them? if anything it was set up for eagles as they had the 2nd easiest strength of schedule and blew the Superbowl, that is the definition of a choke.
@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.
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
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 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
This narrative that if you pay a QB is incorrect and people keep spewing this without researching it. Only 3 QB's have won a Superbowl on rookie contracts in the last 20 years.
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..
The worst was in the early 1990s when the Bills played in four straight Super Bowls without winning even ONE trophy let alone four (insert 4 fail horns here).
Mine has been a Bills fan since 1979 (11 years old) and his Dad before him who passed away in 2010 was also a major Bills fan. My Dad grew up in Upstate NY, so it's obviously why he grew up a Bills fan. He has suffered 4 straight NFL losses and every year, he gets his hopes let down. This year especially. Now, after the divisional loss, he is starting to think Jim Kelly is the last person that will ever take them to the Super Bowl.
“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…
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.
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.
Nope. Its going to be KC and someone else. Cincy will hang around but they already reached the summit and blew it. Once you reach the Super Bowl and lose, it just gets harder to get back. The Cap is coming big time for them. Buffalo is downtrending. Their window to win is closing. The Chargers choked in historical fashion. Pittsburgh and Jacksonville will be the new challengers to KC.
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.
at least he has made this team very competitive--considering the cast of "clowns" and morons who preceded him---Rex Ryan, Chan Gailey, Dick Jauron, Gregg (Mr. "Bountygate") Williams etc etc
@@knitetrick4198 I agree, but their offensive scheme seems to take some time to get used to for a lot of the younger WRs. Hopefully they'll get him the ball more, next season...
"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...
Von Miller's a great player with a HOF career, but he will be 34 next season, and he has not been able to play even close to a full season the last few years. I'm not sure if you can put it on an aging veteran who hasn't been able to stay on the field to be the key difference maker.
@@aaronsteindler3245 true but with Miller they were one of the top pressure defenses and without him they were in the bottom 3. With vastly better pressure this game could of gone very different
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
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 ✊
@@gametime2473 I’m a Ravens fan so I’ve seen quite a bit myself. Although younger Dolphins fans probably still have it worse because at least I got to see my team with a Super Bowl.
@@NardoBlaq what he’s been able to do with the Giants and Daniel Jones has been nothing short of amazing. If you can turn Jones into a competent quarterback, imagine the level Allen could be at now.
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
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.
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.
@@chasepadgett4221 bro he's right tho Jacksonville is going to be good for a long time since they finally have a good young core and they have a qb in TL and the same is true of mami
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Imo it was the bills OL and DL that cost them. Bengals OL still isn’t great and the bills couldn’t get pressure. OL collapsed constantly and Allen was scrambling all game
nope, not gonna happen. no QB/coach combo has ever gone on to win a SB, unless they won a SB within the first 5 years of being together. this was year 5 of the mcdermott/allen era. you are crazy if you think this is the coach/qb combo that is going to break that trend. 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.
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
Bills fan here .The bills will never will a Super Bowl as long as Sean McDermott is the head coach . He’s a great leader of men but the guy is dumber then a box of rocks . Hiring a first time play caller was a mistake . I think Frazier should be fired . He should be been fired after 13 seconds but it seems like McDermott is to loyal . Ken Dorsey’s offense is so vanilla! I watched every play of every game and been to multiple games this season and I didn’t see ONE SINGLE TRICK PLAY! I didn’t see a lot of WR motions . Dorsey doesn’t like to call runs but the bills still draft RB’s in the first 2-3 rounds every draft ! We traded for Hines and he touched the ball on offense 13 times lol . Like I said the hills will never win a SB as long as mcidiot is the coach
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
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.
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….
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.
They will NEVER learn that their defensive philosophy DOES NOT work against good offenses in the playoffs. Until that changes, the SAME results will happen.... divisional playoff exit.
Ok lets depend on a 34 year old pass rusher. Theres a lot of aging players on this team with no development of draft picks and a huge neglect on WR. No top draft picks in YEARS
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. 🤷♂️
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think he'll take a backloaded fat contract that's fully guaranteed so for his first 3-4 years of the deal, he gets like 25 mil per, but at the back of the contract, like 4 years prob, he gets around 55 mil per.
I believe this as well. Burrow hasn't touched his rookie deal money at all. He just lives off his endorsements. It's not a long shot to think he will take a team friendly route to keep winning. He's not hurting for cash and isn't money motivated
@@lxb88b because he’ll still he getting much more then enough money to be set up for the rest of his life. If he wants to build a dynasty in Cincinnati you need to take a pay cut.
News around the league is that the Bengals are going to offer Burrow a massive extension. They already sold the naming rights of the stadium to help pay for it, and Burrow would be legitimately nuts to not accept 40+ a year or more depending on if they win a ring this season.
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.
That was in a different era when the cliff between what rookie QBs and prime QBs made wasn’t as large. Nowadays, a QB’s rookie contract is their championship window and to make a championship run with a QB on a prime contract would require the team to shoot the moon in the draft, as FA points out in this video.
@Kougami It’s not great for the fans as it locks the team into a win-at-all-costs mentality that will give you a 2-3 year window max before a long rebuild and blow up results.
Yeah but what your 4getting is Payton only had Brady and Big Ben to worry about, J.Allen has Mahomes,Burrow, Lamar, Trevor Lawrence,to name a few in a stacked and up incoming AFC conference, plus in are own division with Tua with those fast receivers in Miami and the jets had a good draft and are making fast strides and are just a quarterback away which could be this year so yeh P.Manning situation wasn't as crowded as J.Allen
@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)
@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.
@@BigDawg12 While being a playoff team is nice for 5+ years it begins to suck if you have no Trophies to show for it It's like when you start having sex but never climax 😂
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.
I forgot what player it was (maybe Saffold) but I recall this player saying that Mcdermot was switching up the weekly schedule to see if it would give the boys a jolt. I only say that to say that the writing seemed to be on the wall and if I'm being fair, I can't recall any other team in the history of this league to go through that much adversity in a single season.
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.
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.
People here dont seem to see the issue, buffalo does prob need slight upgrades along the O&D lines a big short yardage back and a 3rd solid WR, but the biggest issue buffalo has is the roster is built like a dome team, small recieving backs, quick smaller recievers, a 2 deep zone defense and a d line thats full of guys that win with speed in general. What do those things not wana see? Snow, what happens in buffalo? It snows... alot...
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
@@octuplepossum4307 When you already make 100 million dollars and get paid way more in advertisements, do you need that much more? I get getting paid but for Mahomes at half a billion? Is that really necessary?
@@huntu3970 I guess I just don't see the appeal of 100 million more dollars when you're already rich. I'd rather win a SB. That's not meant to be sarcastic or confrontational. Just stating my humble opinion
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.
Your emotions are overruling what you saw . The team, as constructed cannot get past the first round. If Allen could tell you his true feelings, you would probably be shocked by the undertow of their situation.
@@vincentsnow8436 umm they lost in the second round. They won the first game. From where I’m sitting they failed like every other team that’s not KC. You sound emotional.
There's not much to talk about. Regardless of what some extrordinarily misguided people have said, the Bills have not been a legit SB contender in a couple decades. Nor will they be anytime in the near future. This team relies 100% on the arm of Josh Allen, and Allen, quite simply, is not enough to win a SB as a starting QB. This team's D is far too inconsistent to ever be a serious threat in the playoffs, and when your QB is your leading rusher in over half your games, well, that's pretty much game over.
All I'm saying is at what point when QBs like Allen, Lamar, Herbert keep not getting things done. When do people start flaming them instead of praising them? I mean Allen is better than Lamar and Herbert but all get somehow no flack when things go wrong.
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.
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.
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
I want a WR in the first round, an O-lineman in the second, and a RB in the third. Defense first teams don't work anymore. You gotta have offensive talent to be able to win anything
@@sprawlz6466 i think we should star Elam and benford too next season they where the only consistently good corners white is almost out of his prime and I think they benefit us more especially since Elam was guarding tyreek hill and held him to 4 catches
@@evanthompson1828 I really like Elam, but they don't really use him right. They force him into zone coverage when that's not his game and I'm sure he's frustrated. They healthy scratched him out of like 3 or 4 games. Tre White is still really good, I say they should play him while they still got him. Then maybe move Benford to safety or something.
Allen got completely away from taking what the defense was giving him. He did it in the first half, but did nothing of the sort the second half of the season. He is still trying to play hero ball.
Why is that? I’m a Seahawks fan but they definitely felt like americas team. Excited to watch never won a Super Bowl and a coin toss kept them from doing so
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. In the AFC Championship the Chiefs got 4 sacks on Burrow in the first 10 minutes of the first quarter. 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.
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.
What is there to discuss? How much Bills will lose to Chiefs or Bengals in playoffs next year? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? After 10 years Allen goes to NFC.
Forget about the Ravens at your peril. Lamar beat the Bengals this season. The backup ONLY lost because of a controversial, (the irony!) ,Ref call ,that favored the Bengals. The Ravens aren't scared of Burrow.
We don’t need any receivers. Have Shakir play the role Gabe has been playing and use Gabe as a deep threat. Diggs, Davis and Shakir should be on the field every play next year. Keep Beasley and use him on third downs as a safety net. We need to draft the best available OL men in the first two rounds of the draft if we want to have a chance of winning a Super Bowl in the next couple years.
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.
The idea that Gabe Davis is not a good # 2 receiver is ridiculous. 800 yards and 7 tds for your # 2 is really good. Every team isn’t gonna have 2 # 1 receivers like the Eagles and Bengals. Josh had more than enough talent he’s just inconsistent. He was anointed too early. He has to get better.
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
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
The Bills should have paid Daboll $40 million a year to be offensive coordinator. Allen hasn't been the same since Dorsey took over. It's a pretty simple fix; Can McDermott, and find a real offensive coordinator. This current Bills team, with this current Bills coaching staff will NEVER sniff the promised land
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.
Ben did suck till his last year or 2 bad comparison
Big Ben played longer than his fellow 04’ draftees Eli and Rivers. So saying he didn’t last isn’t fair to his career which went until he was 39
@@thesportswarehouse8853 The 2 QB examples I gave was meant to say... even big QB's get beat up when running and taking a lot of hits.
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.
that might be chicago, where james cook and devin singletary both got ~ 20 yard rushing TDs
It’s like Tom Brady. He would’ve never won as many super bowls as he did if he didn’t have Gisele. Because she made so much money, he could take much cheaper contracts so belichick could build his amazing defenses
@@olliecat4562
Brady was taking lower salaries *before* marrying Gisele in 2009
This is what I believe... they need the run game not to be Josh Allen.
As dynamic as Josh Allen is... you need multiple weapons to win the superbowl.
Soft QB
As a Bills fan, our coaching staff has continually held us back and until that changes we aren't going anywhere
Honestly if u guys still had Daboll, you’d probably would’ve had a better chance IMO
The thing is Super Bowl takes an insane amount of luck and the right breaks.
But sometimes I wonder if it's destiny. When it's your year it's your year and that's just how it goes
Look at the 18-1 Patriots they did every right in the regular season and most of the playoffs except the Super Bowl
They played dam near perfect yet failed in the biggest game of all. They had the talent and coaches to do it as well
But ultimately it was the Giants Super Bowl year
@@jameskeffer2972 For sure
@@JDBass36 Agreed, but it also takes coaches putting their players in the position for the best chance of success. Bills coaching staff does the complete opposite.

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.
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.
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.
Definitely lost a bunch of sacks because bin was not in uniform sadly
If Von and Micah stayed healthy i think things would have turned out differently.
Come back to this after the superbowl next year. I'm 100% confident the bills are going to win it after the eagles win this year
@@StarSwisss OK marked
It was supposed to be the Bills year. Then half way through the season they just collapsed.
When Buffalo lost 4 straight Superbowls in the early 90s, I knew they were cursed to never see the Lombardi Trophy unfortunately
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.
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
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.
So you’re going with the guy who put up nearly exactly the same stats as last year was hurt?
Allens stats were the same before and after the injury.
There was NO ELBOW "injury". He tweaked it a bit and was fine by the next day, ....and then was summarily OVER-DRAMATIZED for the following weeks. Maybe you should look up the Brian Tuohy channel to learn how the NFL actually works.
Stop with the injury excuses. Everyone suffered devastating injuries. San Fran lost it's QB. Cincy had 3 backups on the o line and the bills d still couldn't stop them.skykar Thompson almost beat you. You lost to Zach freaking Wilson.
Might trade for kamara
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.
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
You can’t really extrapolate one drive into a whole game, especially since Cincinnati has been known to want the ball first and score on their first possession all season long
@@awill3454 I mean it was most of two drives and anyone who watched Sunday saw it was over after two drives
@@awill3454 bengals were on their second drive and they were rolling so i do believe it would’ve been the same outcome especially with it in cincy
Cincy should have been awarded the W. You can tell when the NFL wants a team to win the Super Bowl…

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
This season was for the bills to win not kc
The Bills literally choked in a year where everything was set up for them. Now granted, my Eagles also lost & "Choked" a bit on Defense, but our season was successful, we won a playoff game and the division, which was our preseason expectations, We Went to the SB and Lost. Buffalo is in huge trouble. BAL and CIN aren't going away. And the Jaguars will get a Study Defensive Player. It's KCs Conference & KCs League. And BUF can't even beat the 2nd Best AFC Team.
@@thomassankara1391 I’m an eagles fan myself and the eagles for sure exceeded my expectations. I did not see Hurts having this season. I was expecting him to win 11-12 games at most, win the division and a playoff game. I didnt expect them to reach the superbowl so I am proud of Philly. I wonder what the expectations are now however. Things change so quickly in the NFL.
@@thomassankara1391 what was exactly set up for them? if anything it was set up for eagles as they had the 2nd easiest strength of schedule and blew the Superbowl, that is the definition of a choke.
@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.
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
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.
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.
@@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
"It's never easy to win a Super Bowl in the NFL."
Two sentences later: "Buffalo could very easily win it next year."
They better avoid the chiefs somehow then
They could easily win. So could about 20 other teams.
This narrative that if you pay a QB is incorrect and people keep spewing this without researching it. Only 3 QB's have won a Superbowl on rookie contracts in the last 20 years.
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..

Mine has been a Bills fan since 1979 (11 years old) and his Dad before him who passed away in 2010 was also a major Bills fan. My Dad grew up in Upstate NY, so it's obviously why he grew up a Bills fan. He has suffered 4 straight NFL losses and every year, he gets his hopes let down. This year especially. Now, after the divisional loss, he is starting to think Jim Kelly is the last person that will ever take them to the Super Bowl.
@@Maw0 Same story, but he still BILLieves that they will win a super bowl and he's been a Bills fan since like 1986
“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…
You are absolutely right. Hopefully the front office realizes this before it's too late. 💯
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.
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.
Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson have entered the chat
AFC should be a fight between KC, Cincy, Miami, Buffalo, and Jacksonville. Throw Tennessee in there if they get a QB
Nah, it's just between KC and Cincy.
@@tekkersmo3816 Bro, they beat the Chargers who are known for choking big games time after time again. Trust me, they wont be back
Nope. Its going to be KC and someone else.
Cincy will hang around but they already reached the summit and blew it. Once you reach the Super Bowl and lose, it just gets harder to get back. The Cap is coming big time for them.
Buffalo is downtrending. Their window to win is closing.
The Chargers choked in historical fashion.
Pittsburgh and Jacksonville will be the new challengers to KC.
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.
The Bills YPC in the run game is usually good but they never hand the ball off. That is a damning indictment of the coaching staff.
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.
at least he has made this team very competitive--considering the cast of "clowns" and morons who preceded him---Rex Ryan, Chan Gailey, Dick Jauron, Gregg (Mr. "Bountygate") Williams etc etc

Von Miller's a great player with a HOF career, but he will be 34 next season, and he has not been able to play even close to a full season the last few years. I'm not sure if you can put it on an aging veteran who hasn't been able to stay on the field to be the key difference maker.

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
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.
The Bills have been choking for as long as the Dolphins have been dysfunctional.
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.
Jax and Miami… right…
@@chasepadgett4221 bro he's right tho Jacksonville is going to be good for a long time since they finally have a good young core and they have a qb in TL and the same is true of mami
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
The owners, the coaches, the players,and many fans, want to go beyond JUST the playoffs. 🙄
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
Was not why they lost that game though.
If losing in the playoffs is concerning, 31 teams better be shook every single off-season.
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.
The AFC has their cowboys! It’s our year disease in full effect!
Imo it was the bills OL and DL that cost them. Bengals OL still isn’t great and the bills couldn’t get pressure. OL collapsed constantly and Allen was scrambling all game
I still think they’ll pull off an sb win in the Mcdermott era but they need to address some issues
nope, not gonna happen. no QB/coach combo has ever gone on to win a SB, unless they won a SB within the first 5 years of being together. this was year 5 of the mcdermott/allen era. you are crazy if you think this is the coach/qb combo that is going to break that trend. 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.
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
Josh is young he have more than enough time to win the superbowl
Bills fan here .The bills will never will a Super Bowl as long as Sean McDermott is the head coach . He’s a great leader of men but the guy is dumber then a box of rocks . Hiring a first time play caller was a mistake . I think Frazier should be fired . He should be been fired after 13 seconds but it seems like McDermott is to loyal . Ken Dorsey’s offense is so vanilla! I watched every play of every game and been to multiple games this season and I didn’t see ONE SINGLE TRICK PLAY! I didn’t see a lot of WR motions . Dorsey doesn’t like to call runs but the bills still draft RB’s in the first 2-3 rounds every draft ! We traded for Hines and he touched the ball on offense 13 times lol . Like I said the hills will never win a SB as long as mcidiot is the coach
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
Buffalo became too Top-Heavy and Reliant on Allen doing everything. Their offense had no balance.
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.
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….
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.
They will NEVER learn that their defensive philosophy DOES NOT work against good offenses in the playoffs.
Until that changes, the SAME results will happen.... divisional playoff exit.
Love for the Bills from Australia 🇦🇺
Didn’t know that people like football in Australia.
@@1mrcow143 Sure. Lots of Aussies play and watch Rugby codes and if you can like Rugby you can like NFL.
Ok lets depend on a 34 year old pass rusher. Theres a lot of aging players on this team with no development of draft picks and a huge neglect on WR. No top draft picks in YEARS
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. 🤷♂️
The Bengals ran the ball down the Bills' throat over and over. They need interior D-Line badly.
“It is not easy to win a SB”
“The bills could easily win the SB next year”
Both can be true
@@FootballAnalysis1 its all good lmao it happens far too often with me especially
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.
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.
We have a horrible line. The running back won’t matter. We need to fix our line.
@@barryfeinstein1234 Agreed, we also don't have a pass rush or a good defensive line.
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.
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....
WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR. Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre only won one Super Bowl. All I want is the Bills to win one in my lifetime.🙏
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.
I think he'll take a backloaded fat contract that's fully guaranteed so for his first 3-4 years of the deal, he gets like 25 mil per, but at the back of the contract, like 4 years prob, he gets around 55 mil per.
I believe this as well. Burrow hasn't touched his rookie deal money at all. He just lives off his endorsements. It's not a long shot to think he will take a team friendly route to keep winning. He's not hurting for cash and isn't money motivated
@@lxb88b because he’ll still he getting much more then enough money to be set up for the rest of his life. If he wants to build a dynasty in Cincinnati you need to take a pay cut.
News around the league is that the Bengals are going to offer Burrow a massive extension. They already sold the naming rights of the stadium to help pay for it, and Burrow would be legitimately nuts to not accept 40+ a year or more depending on if they win a ring this season.
He needs a supermodel wife to make more than him so he doesn’t have to make as much money.
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.
Most people forget it took Peyton 8 years to go and win the superbowl
That was in a different era when the cliff between what rookie QBs and prime QBs made wasn’t as large. Nowadays, a QB’s rookie contract is their championship window and to make a championship run with a QB on a prime contract would require the team to shoot the moon in the draft, as FA points out in this video.
@Kougami It’s not great for the fans as it locks the team into a win-at-all-costs mentality that will give you a 2-3 year window max before a long rebuild and blow up results.
Yeah but what your 4getting is Payton only had Brady and Big Ben to worry about, J.Allen has Mahomes,Burrow, Lamar, Trevor Lawrence,to name a few in a stacked and up incoming AFC conference, plus in are own division with Tua with those fast receivers in Miami and the jets had a good draft and are making fast strides and are just a quarterback away which could be this year so yeh P.Manning situation wasn't as crowded as J.Allen
@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)
@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.
Problem is the Bills front office tried building a team to beat the Chiefs and forgot they play in Buffalo come playoff time....
Buffalo probably will be the next green bay, just stuck in playoff purgatory
So being contenders every year for the past 10 years is bad?
@@BigDawg12when you don’t win anything… yes…
@@BigDawg12 yes when the objective is winning the Superbowl or a afc championship.
@@BigDawg12 While being a playoff team is nice for 5+ years it begins to suck if you have no Trophies to show for it
It's like when you start having sex but never climax 😂
Feels like Dallas. Loaded with big name stars. Lead by a QB that is just as likely to turn the ball over as he is to put up a highlight quality td
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.
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.
Thank you!
@@FootballAnalysis1 13:28 agreed; you’re analysis doesn’t come off in a way that might be dismissive towards players. Very professionally done.
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.
I forgot what player it was (maybe Saffold) but I recall this player saying that Mcdermot was switching up the weekly schedule to see if it would give the boys a jolt. I only say that to say that the writing seemed to be on the wall and if I'm being fair, I can't recall any other team in the history of this league to go through that much adversity in a single season.
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.
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.
Allen is a bonehead. That’s the real problem
People here dont seem to see the issue, buffalo does prob need slight upgrades along the O&D lines a big short yardage back and a 3rd solid WR, but the biggest issue buffalo has is the roster is built like a dome team, small recieving backs, quick smaller recievers, a 2 deep zone defense and a d line thats full of guys that win with speed in general. What do those things not wana see? Snow, what happens in buffalo? It snows... alot...
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
i think the rings usually sell for around 50 to 100 k so no 20 mil is more valuable
@@octuplepossum4307 When you already make 100 million dollars and get paid way more in advertisements, do you need that much more? I get getting paid but for Mahomes at half a billion? Is that really necessary?
@@brandoncheever1897 I mean it's his first new contract off his rookie contract so yes, make as much money while you can.
QBs tend to want more money when it's their first deal after the rookie deal. And on their deal after that they may take paycuts to chase a ring.
@@huntu3970 I guess I just don't see the appeal of 100 million more dollars when you're already rich. I'd rather win a SB. That's not meant to be sarcastic or confrontational. Just stating my humble opinion
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.
Your emotions are overruling what you saw . The team, as constructed cannot get past the first round. If Allen could tell you his true feelings, you would probably be shocked by the undertow of their situation.
@@vincentsnow8436 umm they lost in the second round. They won the first game. From where I’m sitting they failed like every other team that’s not KC. You sound emotional.
There's not much to talk about. Regardless of what some extrordinarily misguided people have said, the Bills have not been a legit SB contender in a couple decades. Nor will they be anytime in the near future. This team relies 100% on the arm of Josh Allen, and Allen, quite simply, is not enough to win a SB as a starting QB. This team's D is far too inconsistent to ever be a serious threat in the playoffs, and when your QB is your leading rusher in over half your games, well, that's pretty much game over.
Bills have no talent lol. All they have is allen and diggs .. the main thing is that they need to get a running game
All I'm saying is at what point when QBs like Allen, Lamar, Herbert keep not getting things done. When do people start flaming them instead of praising them? I mean Allen is better than Lamar and Herbert but all get somehow no flack when things go wrong.
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.
Von Miller injury cost the Bills some steam into the season too
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.
I love the guy but Frasier has to go, but it wouldn't be fair to Dorsey to get canned when Beane put this Oline and receiver core together.
@@MrYoungkg Beane didn't make Dorsey call doo-doo plays
Y’all complaining about the bills not giving Allen enough weapons when Lamar is throwing too Drob devin duv and Sammy Watkins 😂
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.
The Dolphins and (maybe) the Jets...Jets organization so unorganized year to year
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
They won 13 games. There isn’t anything to figure out
I want a WR in the first round, an O-lineman in the second, and a RB in the third. Defense first teams don't work anymore. You gotta have offensive talent to be able to win anything
@@MrShanester117 we have to figure out how to find a weapons so Allen doesn’t dwell like he has to play hero
@@sprawlz6466 i think we should star Elam and benford too next season they where the only consistently good corners white is almost out of his prime and I think they benefit us more especially since Elam was guarding tyreek hill and held him to 4 catches
@@evanthompson1828 I really like Elam, but they don't really use him right. They force him into zone coverage when that's not his game and I'm sure he's frustrated. They healthy scratched him out of like 3 or 4 games. Tre White is still really good, I say they should play him while they still got him. Then maybe move Benford to safety or something.
Allen got completely away from taking what the defense was giving him.
He did it in the first half, but did nothing of the sort the second half of the season.
He is still trying to play hero ball.
Seeing the Bills downfall is so beautiful
Why is that? I’m a Seahawks fan but they definitely felt like americas team. Excited to watch never won a Super Bowl and a coin toss kept them from doing so
@@joecoolberry911 it's a AFC East thing
I hate the Bills and their violently alcoholic fans. Literally scum of the earth
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.
In the AFC Championship the Chiefs got 4 sacks on Burrow in the first 10 minutes of the first quarter.
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.
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.
Couldn’t agree more that Bills need a running back and offense line, it would change everything Josh is fine!!!
What is there to discuss? How much Bills will lose to Chiefs or Bengals in playoffs next year? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? Or year after that? After 10 years Allen goes to NFC.
Forget about the Ravens at your peril. Lamar beat the Bengals this season. The backup ONLY lost because of a controversial, (the irony!) ,Ref call ,that favored the Bengals. The Ravens aren't scared of Burrow.
We don’t need any receivers. Have Shakir play the role Gabe has been playing and use Gabe as a deep threat. Diggs, Davis and Shakir should be on the field every play next year. Keep Beasley and use him on third downs as a safety net.
We need to draft the best available OL men in the first two rounds of the draft if we want to have a chance of winning a Super Bowl in the next couple years.
💯!!! Always exciting when you drop!
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.
The idea that Gabe Davis is not a good # 2 receiver is ridiculous. 800 yards and 7 tds for your # 2 is really good. Every team isn’t gonna have 2 # 1 receivers like the Eagles and Bengals. Josh had more than enough talent he’s just inconsistent. He was anointed too early. He has to get better.
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
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
The Bills should have paid Daboll $40 million a year to be offensive coordinator. Allen hasn't been the same since Dorsey took over. It's a pretty simple fix; Can McDermott, and find a real offensive coordinator. This current Bills team, with this current Bills coaching staff will NEVER sniff the promised land
We desperately need to upgrade our wr core
We can’t just rely on diggs.
Dorsey is just not a good OC either
Is that old school Mike Korzemba background music??
