The Bills got cute and didn’t get CMC, now that team needs to be blown up

apparently, the two missed FG have nothing to do with why they lost by 3

If we're playing that game, the Chiefs giving the ball back on the 2-inch line would have made those field goals irrelevant anyway.

There is merit to OP's premise, as ludicrous as the notion of blowing the Bills up entirely is, and the Chiefs are Exhibit A. Moving from Smith to Mahomes was very risky at the time but they knew Smith wasn't going to get them there, so they made a move and it has worked out better than anyone there could have imagined. Could have bombed too but they were already not winning SBs, so why not take a calculated risk?

Put yourself in the shoes of a Bills fan. KC just has their number right now. Plain and simple. You gotta do something to try to change that. I don't know if that's firing McDermott but they definitely need some changes.

Yes, personnel upgrades.  It's not like the Chiefs have sat on their hands saying ' with the Mahomes and Reid combo, we are fine.' The Bills obviously have the staff to get them where they need to go, they simply need some better execution....like not missing FGs.

Or not playing to win by FGs...

I will take Reid over McD any day. Deffensive based guys play not to lose and offensive based guys play to win. McD has primed that team like Dungey did and now they need a Gruden to get them over the hump.

What makes that so obvious?

Carolina would have possibly fared better than a bunch of 2-5picks having another first

 

Bills got cheap and thought they can do without CMC, it showed last night that it all fell on Allen, that team needs to be blown up now

 

SF goes to NFCCG

 

another fail by Fitterer and the Panthers North team

the Bills' dirt cheap RB finished #3 in yards from scrimmage.  

last night showed a kicker needs to make kicks.  and WRs need to catch balls.  and being healthy on D would have helped. 

Blow it up? Why would you blow up something that works.

Making the playoffs 6 of the past 7 years in a typically strong division and the stronger conference is enough for me. They will get over the hump.  Nearly twenty years of futility before McDermott took over, so 'blowing it up' because you now have the Chefs as the new Patriots as a stumbling block is dumb.  It's just going to take that one season to get past the Chiefs and they should win it all, because the NFC is soft and has been for a number of years.

The Bills don't have that option, so they blow it up just because?

I'm not advocating for "blowing it up" but trust and believe if you were a Bills fan right now you're seriously questioning whether McD can get you over the hump. Remember when most Panthers fans wanted Shula poo canned after we went 15-1, made a run to the SB, and Cam won the MVP? Most other NFL fans almost certainly thought we were crazy and that Shula was gonna be a HC somewhere the following season. Well, the majority of Panthers fans were absolutely right. Shula was trash.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
