This is the bizarre thing about McD, he takes over the defensive playcalling when things get bad for his DCs, sometimes it works and sometimes its its takes a while but eventually works then other times its embarrassing. This seems to happen with regularity so what is the point of Babich exactly? If he is so incapable that helicopter dad McD has to take over for him then why is he the DC?. Maybe we should get a seasoned proven DC in here and revamp this defense? Someone better than Babich and McD?

I thought WR2 was his absolute ceiling coming out of the draft. I am now pretty sure that is a ceiling he isn't reaching. He is at best a big slot. But the chances he totally busts out of the league are now pretty high.

Tougher game. I dont think this is an unleash Allen game. Texans have a formidable pass rush. I think the Bills defense comes out inspired. 24-13 Buffalo Bills

Organizations like the jets and raiders exist. Never underestimate the stupidity of other people

For the first time this season, I do think it's slightly possible they miss. Am I expecting it to happen? Absolutely not. There are still too many games left for the teams in front to blow it. Jacksonville is basically 1.5 games ahead with 7 left. Not exactly a lead I would trust them with. Los Angeles is about the same, and still has to play them again. The Chiefs makeup a lot of ground with a win there.

In the Jags game, one of the Jag's TD's was a punt return, so that's not on the defense. Texans under Mills scored 26 points in the last 12 minutes to beat the Jags [last TD was the Lawrence fumble followed by the scoop and score]. With our defense, no lead is safe.

Bills 24 Texans 17

To answer the title question. I’ve always said this. The Bills are a good enough where if they can get hot at the right time, they can win it all. Josh Allen is just too good. But this board will jump back on their throats if the Bills lose again.

The last few months will be huge. If he turns a corner you keep him. If not I think you sell low.

So if Cook rips off a 50yd run, is that small ball? Or if a TE catches a ball 20yds downfield out of heavy personnel, is that small ball? Or RB slipping out into the flat and taking it to the house, small ball? I think a lot of people assume that 12 and 13 personnel is small ball. How many times have we seen big plays out of this? I'd wager more than you think. Not saying you don't have a point, though. Allen needs to be unleashed. But if you think our offense is going to hold up to a team that has an excellent pass rush and an excellent backend, while running 4 WRs all game, you're going to be disappointed.

This Bill Bruford kid might have a future.

And the touchdown run isn't Poyer's responsibility. Obviously ultimately you want your safety capable of saving a touchdown there and making Tampa get it in from the 10 or something but the failure was on the 2nd level (think Milano) who misplayed his assignment.

lol, maybe the "after long enough" disclaimer makes that somewhat true. Keon has played 22 games. Might want to check the sentiment on Oliver, Cook, and even Josh at that point. An of course Kincaid and Bishop were complete busts. We'll see how it turns out for Keon, but I'm pretty sure fan sentiment is not a leading indicator.

On another note even the Chiefs players in alternate uniforms are not helping them with bad calls this season https://www.totalprosports.com/nfl/nfl-referees-association-unleashes-scathing-rant-destroying-fans-for-accusing-them-of-rigging-games-for-the-chiefs/

Yeah, I don't fear Daniel Jones. Now Johnathan Taylor on the other hand...

I want the Chiefs out of playoff contention ASAP, and losing to the Colts is another nail in their playoff coffin. Better Jones than Mahomes every day and especially on Saturdays or Sundays in the post season.

I'm pretty sure Beane and McDermott were well aware he puts the ball on the turf from time to time. But he has speed that you cannot teach. There is a risk/reward with every player and they appear willing to take on Hardman's. He's not going to kill us. The Chiefs were able to win championship after championship with him on their roster. Good teams can overcome.

Seems like most of that vaunted WR draft class is overrated. Harrison a possible bust. Odunze onderwhelming. Nabers great but bad career compromising injury. BTJ stunning collapse year two. Worthy - KC faithful see a possible bust, Pearsoll - we’ll give him a pass but not showing much. Polk Corley and Mitchell on second teams already. Burton an embarrassment. Ladd may be the only one of ten performing at least at his draft position.

Ugh, I’m torn. Texans 41 Bills 29 Bills are down quite a few major players as McD decides to treat the TNF as a mini-bye to let people rest. The Texans defense continues to give the Bills fits, leading to multiple sacks and turnovers. Gabe gets his first touchdown, but the offense can’t get much going until garbage time.

I see a game against Jax in which they gave up 29. Keep scoring and put the pressure on them. None of those offenses you mention have a QB close to Josh or are as balanced as what the Bills are showing they can be during games. Want to stop the pass? Cook and Josh will beat you with their legs. Want to stop the run, go see how that worked for TB. No D can stop both when you have a QB like Josh. The oline and Brady need to have a good game plan and be prepared. Buffalo is the only team that can beat the Bills.

Maybe not the pinnacle and certainly not infallible. I have long held the adage that if the fans are debating if you are good or if you suck after long enough, you probably suck. Nobody debates if Josh or Shakir or Cook sucks. Or guys like Rousseau or Oliver. We may debate if they are worth their contract or how “good” they are, but not if they are actually good or suck. But guys like Elam, Ford, EJ, Tyrod, etc etc and now Keon, we are debating if they are good or if they suck. And I’ve seen this play out too many times to completely discount that, despite it not being infallible.

Well, without Keon, we are averaging 6 ppg better. Basically we really don’t need him, the pattern is the offense is always good without him.

Wow, that's pretty damning, but definitely checks out with everything else we're hearing. Specifically with Dawkins calling him out. Usually guys dance around that stuff, but he was pretty blunt. I'd hate to have to cut bait on this guy, hopefully he gets it soon.

It’s definitely improved, but we give up too many 3rd and longs for me to consider we have a dominant pass defense. Like I said, it’s not a glaring weakness but it’s also not a strength, either. It’s run of the mill imo.
