Training camp a rainy July 31 2025 day
BillsFanForever19 replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
One thing I've noticed between going to camp and reading the reports - it seems to me that they're trying to force Keon Coleman to be more physical and deal with physicality better. When I was there and reading what people have been saying, the DB's seem to be WAY more physical with Keon than anyone else. To the point where it would draw a flag (on Monday for example, Josh made the flag motion on a route drill throw to him). Then the next set of WR's would come up and it would be standard coverage. Then Keon would come up again and again, hands all over him. I don't think this is coincidental. I think the coaches put an edict to make things difficult on him to toughen him up. -
When can we start to freak out about Spencer Brown?

Don’t allow yourself to fall into a false sense of security. Do not relent. -
Ever notice most people that say "I'm not a racist" as the first sentence are usually racist. I just found it funny that your first words were "I wrote this" and then followed a post that was clearly written by AI. Nothing wrong with it I guess? I think most here would prefer authenticity in posts. AI can spit out anything in seconds. Hard to sort out the "original" content from everything else. But you do you boo. 🔥 Why History Doesn’t Apply to the 2025 Chiefs: The Myth of the “Three Strikes” Curse The Kansas City Chiefs are being written off by pundits and trend-watchers who claim that “history says” their reign is about to end. Their argument? The Chiefs fall under three dangerous historical patterns: undefeated in one-score games, three straight Super Bowl appearances, and a blowout loss in the big game. But here’s the truth: history only rhymes — it doesn’t repeat. And more importantly, this Chiefs team is nothing like the historical comparisons being tossed around. Let’s dismantle this narrative piece by piece: ⚠️ Red Flag #1: Undefeated in One-Score Games — “They Got Lucky!” The Argument: Going 11-0 in one-score games means regression is inevitable. Past teams like the 2022 Vikings, 2015 Panthers, and 1998 Falcons all fell off after similar records. The Flaw in the Argument: This assumes all one-score wins are the same. They’re not. You need to ask: why were the Chiefs winning all those close games? Patrick Mahomes + Andy Reid: This isn’t a team relying on luck or bounces. This is the best late-game QB in NFL history paired with one of the greatest playcallers ever. They win close because they execute when it matters. Situational dominance: The 2024 Chiefs led the league in 2nd-half defensive DVOA and were 1st in EPA per play in the 4th quarter. That’s not randomness — that’s clutch execution. The Vikings comparison falls flat: The 2022 Vikings were outscored on the season. The Chiefs had a +131 point differential in 2024. They weren't sneaking by teams — they were dominating and finishing. What it actually means: The Chiefs win close because they’re better prepared and better coached — not because of coin-flip luck. 🏆 Red Flag #2: Three Straight Super Bowl Appearances — “They’re Due to Burn Out” The Argument: No team has made it to four straight Super Bowls and won it. The Bills, Dolphins, and Patriots all fell off eventually. The Flaw in the Argument: Those teams didn't have the continuity or modern era advantages that KC has: Mahomes isn’t Jim Kelly, Bob Griese, or even Brady at this stage. He’s entering his prime, not aging out. He’s faster, healthier, and has already rebuilt a receiving corps mid-dynasty — and still made the Super Bowl. NFL is different in 2025: There’s a salary cap floor, more protected QBs, and fewer dynasty-killers (like devastating injuries or retirement exoduses). The Chiefs have adapted faster and better than any of their peers. They got younger and faster this offseason. Rashee Rice suspension? They added Hollywood Brown and drafted Xavier Worthy. Defensive continuity is elite, and Chris Jones is still a top-3 interior force. They're not clinging to a fading core — they’re evolving on the fly. What it actually means: The Chiefs are reloading, not declining. None of the previous three-peat Super Bowl teams were this balanced, this stable, or this well-led in Year 4. 💥 Red Flag #3: Losing the Super Bowl by 14+ — “Teams Don’t Bounce Back” The Argument: Teams that get blown out in the Super Bowl usually collapse the next year. The Giants, Raiders, and Panthers all missed the playoffs. Even the 2021 Chiefs “only” made the AFC title game. The Flaw in the Argument: Blowout losses tell you more about how the game played out than the team’s overall strength. The 2025 Super Bowl was a bad matchup, not a bad team. San Francisco’s front seven overwhelmed KC’s offensive line — but that’s fixable. They've already added depth and speed at tackle. Mahomes was pressured 44% of dropbacks — you fix protection, you change the game. The loss fuels hunger. Kansas City has rebounded from disappointment before: Lost the 2018 AFC title game → Won the Super Bowl the next year. Lost the 2020 Super Bowl → Returned to AFC title game. Lost 2021 AFC title game → Back-to-back champs in 2022 and 2023. What it actually means: A blowout loss motivates Mahomes and Reid. History shows this team thrives after defeat — it doesn’t fall apart. 📊 Combined Odds: History Has Never Faced This Team That prediction post suggests “combined odds” that give KC a 0–3% chance to win the Super Bowl. Laughable. You’re telling me a Mahomes/Reid team — with the best defense of their dynasty, multiple vertical weapons, elite coaching continuity, and a proven bounce-back record — has no shot? Vegas disagrees. So does every executive in the league. 💡 The X-Factor: Patrick Mahomes Changes the Math Mahomes is 15-3 in the playoffs. Has never failed to make the AFC title game as a starter. Since 2018: 74-22 record, 5 AFC Championships, 3 Super Bowl rings. He's already defied every trend that history has tried to place on him. Why would this year be different? 🔁 Summary: Why This Narrative is Flawed Red FlagHistory SuggestsWhy Chiefs Are Different Undefeated in 1-score gamesRegression to meanMahomes/Reid dominate late-game situations 3 straight Super Bowl runsTeams declineChiefs are reloading, not aging Super Bowl blowout lossMiss playoffs or early exitChiefs rebound stronger after defeat every time 🧠 Final Word History says the Chiefs should fall. But history also said Mahomes couldn’t win a Super Bowl with a rebuilding O-line. History said no QB could reach six straight conference title games. History said dynasties don’t survive the cap era. Mahomes and the Chiefs don’t just ignore history — they rewrite it. If you're betting against them? You’re not reading the trends — you're ignoring the exception that’s become the rule.

Being tall comes with long arms, which is a huge advantage at OT, for pass protection. I agree that Brown is way too tall to play OG or OC, but his build is perfect for RT. Jonathan Ogden is an inch taller than Spencer, and he's one of the best to play OT.

I think it's Dane Jackson

Now, now NC, we mustn’t make fun of the mentally challenged. Billstoon acting out is one of the signs of Trump’s success I just wish that those posters who like to play with the ‘mouse’ would do it in the established threads Those childish new repetitive threads that he starts every few hours should be ignored by all .

Thanks for posting. He’s so rock solid. 2 missed games due to injury vs KC in the playoffs is such a bummer. I’m confidant that we win at least one of those games with him out there. Probably both. Complete stud and probably our second best player overall.

Christian Benford....not just a zone corner
hondo in seattle replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
Even though it's an unwritten requirement to hate PFF if you're in the Bills Mafia, I'll mention that PFF has Benford the #8 ranked CB going into 2025 and T. Johnson as the #19. If Tre returns to peak form, and/or Max recovers and lives up to your hopes, this will be the best secondary CB trio we've had in a long time. www.pff.com/news/nfl-cornerback-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season -
