I'm not saying for sure we're missing anything. Just saying that's it's a real possibility now, where as before, it was a certain that we'd at least make the playoffs. Shit is rough right now and I'm just always super critical/pessimistic when we do poorly.

Hopefully our defense can get it's ass in shape. I am so fucking ecstatic about how Brady looks though. Gotta love the GOAT.


You aren't missing the playoffs.

We had no pressure last year, but we had a competent secondary. Now this combination of no pressure+a confused secondary is showing everyone how fucking volatile of a mix that can be, even with an elite team like us. Just painful and every single week has been hard to watch. At least we're not getting blown out by anyone. We're in every single game up until the end and we just need to get a little bit better and we'll be back to being contenders. What scares me is that with how bad we are always, what happens if we have even a couple of injuries on defense or what happens when our offense has a bad day.. we need the other side to at least do fucking something

You just hit the nail on the head. So much miscommunication. I saw one snap today where the secondary were still motioning at eachother and looked confused right up til Cam snapped the ball. Its not like we have bad players back there, far from it, just need to start playing like a unit.

Just weird with how disciplined we usually are. I don't think I've ever seen us look this fucking lost in the entire time I've watched football. It's just fucking weird. I still believe we can get back on track, but we have a ton of work to do.

things might seem bleak with the Bills being 3-1 while we are 2-2, but I realized why this is actually a best case scenario for us:

The Bills made 2 preseason trades that caused everyone to assume they would be in full tank mode, setting themselves up to move on from Tyrod. But leading the division after 4 weeks means they are playing just well enough to keep up hopes of their fan base.

But we still have 2 head to head games to restore the natural order of the AFC East, so we can still make sure the Bills don't do TOO well.

Things can turn out just fine in the end. The Bills landing a wild card spot means they will keep their core together and won't get a good draft pick, ensuring they remain right in the perfect state of mediocrity.
