AFC East Division Race (10/13 - Patriots Now on Top After Bills Loss)

[TommyD4207]

If they get AJ and we don't it's a ****ing travesty.. we have a **** load of cap space more than Buffalo.. I like the way our passing game is playing but we mustn't kid ourselves to thinking we don't need more.

The Bills will mortgage their future for Olave, he'll play 1 game and get a concussion.
Bills gon' Bill.

I wanted nothing to do N'Keal Harry pt.II that year. IF the Bills go after Chris Olave we should offer a little more: don't let them get any key help.

Agreed. I like our WRs but Vrabel's not going to stay content.. he's going to always look to improve the roster..

That's the only concern with Olave.. they just invested in Coleman..who IMO seems like a bust..

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING??!?!

(Everyone. Everyone saw that coming.)

Ted Johnson was mentioning on the radio about how taxing consecutive road games can be on the body...

The lethargy that sets in, traveling, ect. That was apparent against the saints as our defensive line is one of the highest pressure rates in the league... we conquering many positives while still a rebuilding team.

No style points Sunday we just need a win and get back to Foxborough as injury free as possible to embark on this next stretch.

The Jets no matter what thier record is always play us tough, especially at NY.

The Falcons just beat the bills they aren't a pushover and that game will be interesting.. if we dropped some games down the stretch here I'd rather it be to NFC opponents because the AFC conference record is what's most important for potential playoff seeding/strength of schedule.

This team is a excellent road team and that is a huge trait in a contender.

I'm not accepting a Home loss against any of those Teams: Atlanta included. We need to start cooking @ home: that's how you build a contending Team. The Great thing is Drake Maye is so consistent: we haven't seen this kind of consistency since the GOAT QB.

Plus reports are he has got attitude problems.. anyone we add trust and believe they will be vetted and Vrabel will advise the move with his locker room generals...

This goes back to college. It was never a secret.

Yes!!! We have been abysmal at home.. Gillette has been like Sunday church is letting out.. that chargers game last season was the bottom of the barrel at Gillette... we need to string some home wins together and make teams fear coming here to play like prior years...

who gives a good crap who is "leading the division in the middle of god-damned October.

Stay in bed til January then, Ken. Seriously what's the point of enjoying the highs of a season?

The AFCE has the 2 biggest loser franchises in NFL history. The Jets are just ALWAYS ALWAYS so bad. They almost never have it together and when they do it is so short lived and they never really threaten anything. They are also so so badly managed at the top. We all love to make fun of how dysfunctional they are. Going on some 50 years of not finding a true legit QB. And when they do kind of find one like Darnold they can't make it work.

But the Bills are just as bad in their own way. Arguably worse. The Bills actually have been relatively competent getting top talent. They have drafted not just 1 but 2 HOF QBs. They have had a number of big time HOFers on their team. Sensational players. They had Kelly and a fairly loaded team with him in an AFC that had very little resistance. What did they do? Lose 4 straight super bowls. Including one when the kicker missed a fairly easy kick. They let that chance slip through their fingers when they had a wide open window.

Now here comes Josh Allen. One of the great talents of his generation. And he is hitting his peak just as Brady leaves and the Pats collapse. KC and Mahomes are there... but they were being dismantled at the same time too. Lamar Jackson can't win in the playoffs. There are competitors but all he needs to do is get past a fading KC team and a choking Lamar and he is in. This huge talent. And what do they do? Remove a bunch of his support. Then he kind of chokes as does his team. They owned the AFCE with no real competition in that division for years. They had the door wide open and they just didn't walk through it. It was right there for them.

But guess what? Here come Vrabel and Maye and the Pats are going to be on your ass again for the rest of Allen's career in Buffalo. You weren't going to have that huge window forever... nothing last. And now it has become harder for you to get to the promised land cause you mismanaged the whole damn thing. You've possibly thrown not 1 but 2 HOF QBs down the toilet with not 1 ring to show for it, which if they do is a feat of no other NFL team can boast of.

If I was a Bills fan I'd be pissed right now.

Tommy: he's been good up to now: if he can stay healthy he would help them immensely. I would hate for him to go there: we saw what Diggs did for Allen.

I personally would like to make a move for RB..Henry another guy with ties to Vrabel who credits Vrabel with his ascending to the NFL elites. What say you?

He hasn't not missed games due to a concussion since 2022.

I'd rather have Kamara to be honest if he's available. Henry suddenly looks like Marion Butts out there. Power back cliffs are usually pretty steep. Or a sneaky long-term maneuver getting Kenneth Walker.

Who? At what cost?

Swapping out Rham for an all-world RB fixes 1/3rd of the problem. The other 2/3rds are sketchy run blocking and facing the 3rd highest number of 8 man fronts per offensive snap in the league.

I would think (hope) that Drake pushing the ball downfield a lot like he did last week might help solve that problem.

Yep. I think thats a big part of the solution. They are daring him to throw to the WRs downfield and he's burning them alive.

If that's the plan hopefully Josh keeps calling them that way. That's not typically Josh's MO.

You're right, that's not what he wants to do, he wants 10-play, 8 minute drives.

On the other hand, when's the last time he was the OC for a team that had more than one receiver who could beat man coverage? 2018?

Bills gon' Bill.

Highly likely based on his medical history. The more concussions you’ve had the more likely you are to have another.

Better the Bills than the Patriots for that.

No way we should go near Olave, given his medical history.
