Against the chiefs in the playoffs which we almost won v the league’s best D, we saw the unveiling of the precision offense that can defeat teams that force us to nickel and dime it all the way down the field. To run this offense we need all low-mistake rate players like Shakir and Kincaid. Gabe is not qualified for this offense.

Bills went into the playoffs banged up in part due to a tough division battle, and team health was enough to make the difference in a close playoff game v. the chiefs. Chiefs face a much tougher division battle on 2024.

In the clutch he brought the team down into scoring position with monotonous repetition. Even in the losses he was repeatedly bringing the team down field. Jets to force OT, jags twice to get within a score, bengals to get close, pats to take the lead, broncos to take the lead, eagles twice to take the lead, chiefs to set up the tying FG attempt. Clutch QB play in all 7 losses down the stretch.

Except when he went zero in OT and got burned

I can’t drive 5-5

I can’t believe the flack the niners are getting for this decision. Suppose they DID kickoff in OT and DID score a TD instead of a FG on their first possession knowing exactly what they needed. Then it’s game over anyway because all mahomes needs is a FG to win on the ensuing possession.

Will be interesting to see if Shannan can counter spags adjustments, unlike Brady.

The last 3 years we’ve had $20M—$50M of the defense literally not playing or essentially not playing in the playoffs. Super Bowl champions generally do not have this amount of the roster not playing.

One of the top 20 quarterbacks in the world. Unfortunately, that puts him in the bottom half of NFL starting quarterbacks.

No counter to spags adjustments in two games

i agree. How many plays this year had no chance simply because sherfield was out there being counted on to do something.

Brady’s inability to counter Spags in both games may have cost him his job.

I liked the 6 team per conference system when there were only three divisions. Things got out of wack after the expansion to four divisions per conference. The third best non-division winning team was often better than the worst division winner but left out.

I knew after Bernard went down, the cape would have to go on to have a chance against KC. Almost pulled it off.

It looked for a while that 10-7 would get us ousted and the 18th pick, the sweet spot for still landing a true 1 WR. Of course I wanted the 2-seed and a shot at the Lombardi, but now that ship has sailed I’d like the overall 18th pick.

His error rate is just too high for when defenses force us to dunk and dunk down the field.

Mahomes three playoff victories v the Bills are regarded to be his best performances each of those respective seasons. He’s a great player and he knows he needs to elevate when facing Allen.

Would have needed a healthy Bernard

Bernard was the catalyst for the pass rush. His add-ons, stunts and disguises kept olines guessing all year.

We ended up working the ball down to first and 10 at the 27 so the Diggs drop was recovered from.

The stunts Bernard was orchestrating all year were sorely missed.

Dorsey is going to have to work his way up from the bottom

Busy team

The Bills are one of only two teams to be in the final 8 each of the last four years, and only four teams have made the final 8 at least three of the last four years.

Actually he had 2 fourth quarter pressures on mahomes last month
