That clearly didn’t work. Last year we had Hill to contend with, too. We knew they’d be going to Kelce yesterday and we still couldn’t stop it. 2 corners on him? Rush 3? Foul him at the LOS and put him on the ground? My personal goal would be for something like this to not happen again. 30 seconds to 1 min is a lot of time and i get a team like KC will probably find a way. But less than 16 sec we need to put up a Zero there on defense. And this is by no means a negative thread. Im ecstatic about the win. Im just thinking about the future and how the team should approach this scenario bc im sure it’ll come up again.

I mean I get what you’re saying and that we prevented a TD. But preventing a TD there was obvious. The chiefs were going for a FG. And based on last year’s loss and again yesterday the spirit of this thread is how do we approach this situation so we can prevent them from scoring, period. I understand the Chiefs are probably the only team in the NFL who can pull this off. But there certainly are other threats out there (Burrow/Chase and Carr/Adams etc). So playing situational football, how do we accomplish this. We have a great defense so striving for 0 points scored when the opposing team has less than 16sec to go 30-50yds is what we’re striving for.

That might be a decent idea. The coverage alone would probably force Mahomes to hang on to the ball killing a lot of time.

Good point. My only consideration for Bass trying to attempt one of those high kicks he normally does to give the ST time to get down there is field position. It could very well pin them back inside the 20 or 15. But you’re right they may fair catch it and you lose trying to shave seconds off the clock. i suppose the squib kick was the right thing to do. Again I was happy w that choice yesteday. But then we failed to follow through on defense. Do we double team Kelce everytime next time? Should we blitz Mahomes and force him to make a play?

Right. Perhaps there is nothing we can do. I mean the squib kick is what we all wanted last year. We got it this time but they were still able to advance it and ended w decent field position. Maybe they are that good that anything more than 10 sec on the clock they might be able to score. I have few complaints from yesterday’s game but seeing them hit that FG was certainly too much dejavu for my liking and really deflating. So proud of this team for overcoming that.

Id like to have a general convo about what happened yesterday to end the first half. Yesterday we squib kicked it which I was okay with although it still gave them decent field position. 1. Do we think this is the right approach in that situation? Or 2. Do we think it would be better for Bass to kick it as high up as he can so the ball stays inbounds but ends up inside the 20? On the defensive side. I hate when we kind of go in prevent mode to try and limit the big play. Time and time again we see how we can give up 15-20yd plays in a few seconds. 1. Should we try bringing more pressure in these situations or bringing the secondary closer to the LOS so we aren’t giving them such a cushion underneath? Or 2. Did we do everything right on the defensive side? I was bothered that we were able to give up 3points again in such a short amount of time. Imagine if that had been the 4th quarter and thats how we lose? We need to have a better approach in these situations. Kudos to buttlicker for making that 60+yd FG but again 3 points in 16 seconds. I think the main issue may have been they only had to go 28yds so perhaps the answer is on kickoff. We need to pin them back further and then on defense we can’t just give them a cushion or be conservative. We still need to attack. Im not quite sure. Thoughts?

I think the argument can be made that the Bills made some unforced errors on offense in the first half. They could’ve easily scored more pts and it was mostly their fault for not doing so. The argument can be made that the defense played an A game but the Offense played a B game for them.

Milano had an amazing game. Right there w Von in terms of Defensive mvp imo.

He’s a human being, Not a robot. Im not making excuses for the dude I’m simply stating perhaps he wasn’t as ready as he thought he was or there were some lingering effects or his brain was foggy. Who knows. Or maybe he was 100% and just blew it. He had a bad game. It happens.

Dude just came back from a concussion. I wouldnt go all in on ripping him to shreds. Calm down a bit. Maybe he’s not feeling right yet.

I get that. But there was also a post on there by SDS suggesting to close that community.

I’ll post this here based on other forum’s lack of engagement. My fanduel roster is currently: QB Josh Allen RB Eno Benjamin RB Kenneth Walker III WR Justin Jefferson WR Isaiah Mckenzie WR Curtis Samuel WR Ertz FLEX Rhamanondre Stevenson D Bears This is my dilemma: do I keep the Allen/McKenzie combo or do i go w Kyler Murray vs Seahawks and upgrade to Gabe Davis. So Allen/McKenzie or Murray/Davis? Im completely torn. i feel Murray/Davis provide a higher floor while Allen/McKenzie could have a higher ceiling. Im not 100% sure what to expect of McKenzie. My week has started off crappy w Samuel at WR 🙄

How is Rivera still an NFL head coach?

i just don’t understand the logic here. The goal of this team is to win a super bowl THIS year, not to get more picks next year or create cap space. Tre makes us better this year. Thats all that matters. if you want to trade him next year so be it, but why are you feeling “bad”. You should be ecstatic. Come on man!

<slow clap>

Josh Allen is arguably the greatest threat in the NFL. Why are we so focused on getting a really good, premier RB? So he can rush the ball 8-10x/game? Does anyone here really want to see a RB take the ball away from Allen and have him rush the ball 25x/game? Allen and this passing game can score a TD from any point on the field at any moment - regardless of down or distance. Its beautiful to watch. Its unprecedented for Bills fans. Relish in it. Our franchise focus needs to be, above all, protecting Allen with a premier OL and continue giving him passing weapons. I never want to see what happened to Rodgers in GB happen to Allen where he’s throwing to a bunch of scrubs for far too long. We have more than serviceable RB’s. We need to upgrade at OL and we need to improve at running the ball in short yardage. 1. Protect Allen 2. provide him weapons in the pass game 3. running game just needs to be situationally functional. Wasting draft picks on a RB before the first two priorities are addressed every year would be criminal w Allen at QB.

All i care about was I hit on Allen. I did not like Rosen at all. And yes, im glad Allen surpassed Wentz in like his second season in the league. Lol. Hahah. Fun times.

What was my post?

i agree with most of this. X-factor is coaching. I absolutely love McD and wouldn’t replace him for anyone. That being said, Andy Reid and Mahomes have been doing this longer and have an undeniable chemistry/mojo between them and within their offense. McD and the coaching staff need to get over that hurdle. These teams are fairly equal w personnel. Coaching and player execution will win the game ultimately.

Who cares about the Jets and Breece Hall. We dont have to figure anything out. They need to figure us out. And good luck at that.

Ugh

keep hating on the guy. Daboll has the Giants at 4-1 with one playmaker on offense.

Looking at big boy Daboll - I miss that doo

Go Giants! Saquon is one of my favorite non-Bills players in the NFL. What a stud. Dreamy. 🥰

You can make a trip shorter however the body difference remains its 1pm in LA and your internal clock is at 9pm London time. Vice/versa but I get your point.
