My take - this Bills team has been WAY better than I thought thus far. We saw them exposed vs the run in the Ravens, Texans and Miami game last week. Oh well. No team is perfect and this Bills team can be beaten by teams that control the LOS. Adding Phillips won’t move the needle much. Hoping the winning continues and Josh does his magic. Enjoy the ride. The Bills are overachieving. The 2025 draft will get the DLine enforcements (again) Beane is destined to add for Sean to implement.
With the draft capital this team has and the likelihood Miller, Diggs money and possibly Milano come off the books, Beane can add in the trenches. Rousseau will break the bank and the Bills have a big decision here. Douglas may find greener pastures elsewhere even at 32. I see this as natural shedding while the Bills get younger, cheaper and more physical on the DL.
Well, we ARE pretty strapped as far as cap space. Not surprised that we made no moves. The offense is going to have to score more than our opponents. Josh is gonna have to put on his cape again at some point.
I saw Josh put his cape on a few times during the Miami game. I like to see Josh just be a point guard and distribute the ball and every now and then put the cape on. I just don’t want to see him hurt plus we need him to play until he is 40 yrs old.
Hamlin has actually played pretty well, all things considered. Especially as a pair with Rapp. Bishop continues to learn as their understudy, meanwhile. Getting rid of Edwards makes sense. We definitely need to reinforce defensive tackle, with a hefty, nose-type build.
This is why you need to subscribe to the Subtext folks. Ask a question and get fully researched answer on the pod. Feeling much better about 86. Thanks Joe! Go Bills!
Were not ready to compete for a superbowl. We needed more moves but we're strapped for cash... hopefully when Diggs comes off the books we can do something...then von.
Can Von get cut without dead cap next year ? I forgot when he’s stuck with us till 😂 but I think if somehow the Diggs cap lift and Von being released the same season will be huge . Could extend key players situation part and maybe shore up the defense with the other part
He cleared nothing up. That “source” clearly has an agenda to try and save face. Whatever makes you feel better but the coaching staff botched the situation. Good luck
I'm concerned about willingly giving up rushing yards limits your opportunities on offense. It shortens the game. It puts a lot of pressure on Allen and the offense. Can they handle it? Maybe.
They didn't really need to make a move at DT. That's not the problem! If you look at the tape you will see that the defense cant stop the run because they are getting out schemed at the point of attack and also on the edges of their defense
It’s the scheme, if the linebackers were intended to run stop with frequency there would be three of them. Base 3-4, three linebackers four d lineman including the ends
Miami proved that double teaming Oliver and Jones is the key to running the ball down the Bills throats. LBs were nowhere to be found until later in the game. If two guys on the D line can be double teamed then where are the open guys?
@lockedonbuffalobills Joe, Do we ever use taron Johnson as a third linebacker, I know the concern with running is base is we wld be effectively taking Taron off the field but if they kept him in as a line backer and had Dorian fire gaps to run stuff couldn’t he still drop into coverage? Maybe they already do this I’m not to proud to admit I don’t always understand NFL defensive schemes
Man. I’m sorry. I just can’t trust that interior defensive line. They’re going to get manhandled by great running schemes. The gauntlet of the Rams, 49ers, Chiefs, and Lions is going to be brutal. God I hope I’m wrong.
Rams = definitely, win 49ers= good chance, win KC= yes, win Lions= coin toss up I can careless if we out. The playoffs, ours scheme and DL will be outperform as usual.
Hyde has tgat experience, and as long as he's in good field shape, cool half a season rest its lije he comes back from injury . Hicah a good stopper depth and playoffs
4:59 If Hyde doesn’t come back by the bye week it’s not going to happen. He needs at least a month to ramp up- assuming he’s not running 2 a days at home now 😂
#86 Kincaid is sent too deep on routes. His sweet spots in college were shallow over left guard and then shallow off the right end. He is meant to be a drive extender to win games - not a leader in statistical categories he is not built for.
You and others in local bills media have done a terrible job explaining edwards. You seem to be blaming him with no basis in facts. I like you Joe, but you sound like a company man. Do the work. Edwards is gone and it has little to do with football. This is mcdermott letting his personal feelings getting in the way. Hamlin sucks, but the local media are scared shit to say so.
I just can't understand the Edwards thing & the DL is garbage, the WR room isn't far behind & the do nothing? It's clear they're ok with mediocrity & going home every divisional round, which is exactly what will happen again cuz the DL won't show up, as usual..
its funny how were 7-2 while strapped for cash having 4 of those victories with the opposing team held to 10 points. Funny how bad we are. God forbid we have a off day and still win.
@Flux06-dy3ru that 7-2 doesn't matter, beating a bunch of dumpster fires is not impressive at all.. the DL sux, it has suxd for years now, the WR room is still lacking & now facing injury.. the season will have the same outcome as the rest..
@@Flux06-dy3rubills can be 7-2 and have an inconsistent DL. They couldn’t get pressure on Tua in the stretch and they ran all over us… fast forward to playoffs, what is hunt and Mahomes going to do? What’s Lamar and Henry going to do?
@@chetthebee1322 I don't think you understand bro. If the door was open for him, they would have already signed him. So the neck issues are a concern. Allso, no other team has approached him, that should tell you something as well.
@IhaveseensoIbelieve Hyde himself said he would be available later in the season and if he passes his physical there's no reason for the Bills not to sign him to add depth.
People don't understand that's it's a rebuild/reload year. It's not the time to trade picks

Amen! So much negativity from others it’s crazy.
They are good right now, but the way everything is shaping up, next season could really be special.
With the draft capital this team has and the likelihood Miller, Diggs money and possibly Milano come off the books, Beane can add in the trenches. Rousseau will break the bank and the Bills have a big decision here. Douglas may find greener pastures elsewhere even at 32.

ty for being awesome to BILLS MAFIA, each and every day!
Thank you! Finally you speak on the lack of production from Oliver and jones.
Well, we ARE pretty strapped as far as cap space. Not surprised that we made no moves. The offense is going to have to score more than our opponents. Josh is gonna have to put on his cape again at some point.
Cooper hurt & Coleman almost certainly gonna miss time.. the offense is cooked
@aeb814 finally someone who understands!!!!! This is a refreshing comment.
Is that, common sense??!!... that isn't going to be a popular opinion lol
@@timothykatch1855 Well that’s reality. Unfortunately. 🫤

I’m just hyped bills are doing as good as they’re done In what is supposed to be a light build year . I can only imagine what’s going down next year ‘
hey, we have the 2nd best record (AFC) right now. The Bills have 6 games AFTER the bye so there is time to tighten things up.
Hamlin has actually played pretty well, all things considered. Especially as a pair with Rapp. Bishop continues to learn as their understudy, meanwhile. Getting rid of Edwards makes sense.
We definitely need to reinforce defensive tackle, with a hefty, nose-type build.
Joe is always decked out in nice Bills apparel. His closet must be so impressive (to a Bills fan).

Thanks for clearing up the Mike Edwards situation Joe
What did he say to clear it up besides insulting edwards. No explanation about his play
@@bills4u Came in expecting a starting job, didn't get it, had a poor attitude. Didn't play so hard to critique his play
He cleared nothing up. That “source” clearly has an agenda to try and save face. Whatever makes you feel better but the coaching staff botched the situation. Good luck
@@jeffsmall369 More like his head coach refused to play him
I'm concerned about willingly giving up rushing yards limits your opportunities on offense. It shortens the game. It puts a lot of pressure on Allen and the offense. Can they handle it? Maybe.
Buffalo is in cap jail because of Diggs money still on the books. Cooper was a gift at 800K. Next year I suspect Beane will more aggressive.
They didn't really need to make a move at DT. That's not the problem! If you look at the tape you will see that the defense cant stop the run because they are getting out schemed at the point of attack and also on the edges of their defense
If I'm being honest its the linebackers
Oliver and jones do not make enough plays. Our young linebackers have to make all the plays.
It’s the scheme, if the linebackers were intended to run stop with frequency there would be three of them. Base 3-4, three linebackers four d lineman including the ends
Good Morning Joe. Everything is earned in Buffalo except poor quality defensive line play. Oliver and Jones
Miami proved that double teaming Oliver and Jones is the key to running the ball down the Bills throats. LBs were nowhere to be found until later in the game. If two guys on the D line can be double teamed then where are the open guys?
There will be another video soon, 5 minutes ago the bills tweeted “
We’ve signed DT Jordan Phillips and DT Quinton Jefferson to one-year contracts” 😂😭
Go Bills
I think Bishop would be a good pass rusher!
@lockedonbuffalobills
Joe,
Do we ever use taron Johnson as a third linebacker, I know the concern with running is base is we wld be effectively taking Taron off the field but if they kept him in as a line backer and had Dorian fire gaps to run stuff couldn’t he still drop into coverage?

We need to bring in Jamal Adams
We have Jordan Phillips back!
Hyde has tgat experience, and as long as he's in good field shape, cool half a season rest its lije he comes back from injury . Hicah a good stopper depth and playoffs
I would question the D line coach…
Jones and Oliver aren’t going to do anything. Joe Josh Allen needs to get away from Beane and McDermott limited football knowledge.
what are u saying here?
Didn't the Bills tell Edwards that he would have to compete before they signed him?
4:59 If Hyde doesn’t come back by the bye week it’s not going to happen. He needs at least a month to ramp up- assuming he’s not running 2 a days at home now 😂
McDermott never gave Edwards a chance
But how much money did edwards get for doing nothing
Is Matt Milano coming back this year? Or he's done for the season
Damar has been ok but he doesn't have the awareness of Hyde and our front 4 need to be better
Go bills
#86 Kincaid is sent too deep on routes. His sweet spots in college were shallow over left guard and then shallow off the right end. He is meant to be a drive extender to win games - not a leader in statistical categories he is not built for.
Is Jordan Phillips coming back cowboys recently released him
Sitting and watching other teams get better isn't good for a contender. Cooper so far I've been disappointed. I like Cooper but LFG already
We got Quentin jefferson
I don't understand it either there where players that wouldn't cost to much that could have helped and we are 7-2 and dido anything
Bills should have traded for a linebacker.
Please please no Hyde
Chiefs improved with a motivated Dhop
Dhop is wash chiefs didnt improve
Bills improved with cooper that facts
Need to play and beat the best …. Ravens bengals chiefs are top with bills …
Hyde comeback ? 🤔

Bobby Babbich style is kinda boring. I’m just saying
Meritocracy rules
The intro voice - is it a female, young person, or guy with a weird voice? Do we know his/her/it's pronouns? Maybe Joe should do the intro voice?
Josh missing Kincaid is due to Allen’s inaccuracy …..and the worry is .. Josh has not been under lots of pressure … that’s disturbing …
Well,looking forward to another early bounce from the playoffs ( sarcasm )unless we get miracles with every game. SMH 😢
So you want Hyde to break his neck again get a brain already.
Please no Hyde !!!!
I suspect they released Edwards to make room for Hyde. Also, I heard Jordan Phillips is coming back.
Both those players r washed tF up
Hyde is to risky his neck for one get real already.
@toddlvlnd33893tu Nope. They already left the door open for him. And that's a real deal.
