This is absolutely embarrassing, how/why he is still the coordinator? It's truly baffling....

This is exactly why I said I would have blasted a D1 program for hiring him as an OC, let alone an NFL offense.

Don't get me wrong, some guys are just better in the NFL, but I saw his system enough to have a pretty good idea he wasn't going to be one of those guys.

At the same time here, and I hate having to defend him, Pickett did start putting it together towards the end of the year. Was that because Canada changed the offense to fit him better, did he simply improve...etc I dunno, I don't watch enough Steelers football to really know the answer.

As long as Kenny keeps developing next year, he can be let go without too much harm done.

Isaiah Mckenzie said he talked to Stefon Diggs last night.

Diggs was asking him "How? Every year? It's the same thing."

McKenzie said its the same questions everyone is asking. And he will ask.#Bills

Can't really disagree here. This team has had its run and its clear that we've peaked with this collection of players. Personally I think Frazier needs to go after multiple playoff collapses, but McDermott has to start feeling some heat.

I do think some type of change needs to made. I would like to see them upgrade the RB spot and commit to being a little more balanced on Offense. While Allen is great, he does tend to play hero ball. Losing Daboll did play a factor. His INTs are way up this year. Injuries did play a part this year. But, this a loaded roster and the ceiling shouldn't be the Conference championship game.

They don’t really need wholesale changes on the roster.

Do they need to have a serious discussion about what they want to be on Offense? Absolutely. They seemed to address the depth issue last offseason but then key guys got hurt again, so there’s nothing much you can do in that regard.

Lot of times in playoffs, it’s mostly luck/circumstance type **** that plays a big factor in certain teams coming up short.

But as long as they have Allen there, they’ll always be a “retool” more than a “rebuild” team, which is a fine spot to be in, especially when you look at some of these other franchises.

Diggs might wanna have a convo with Rodgers if he’s asking that question in particular because he knows all about that, lol.

Here's random news you weren't expecting.

Jeff Bezos might sell the Washington Post with the intent to buy the Commanders.

I don't know that the Bills need an upgrade at halfback as much as they need an upgrade an offensive line and a commitment to the run game as a philosophy. Remove Allen from the run game and Buffalo has 1470 yards on 306 carries, a 4.8 Y/C average. Even if you assume Allen took all the hard yardage carries, and the Y/C would go down, they'd have to fall half a yard to go below league average. I think a power back (even a cheap one) coupled with Cook and Duke Johnson is enough, considering you've gotta go lean somewhere.

They definitely need to figure out the wideout situation, however, since we went berserk on slot wideouts and never threw to them.
