Well look at that, we've actually won 2 Super Bowls!! @Success, it looks like you can die a happy person!

Have you ever called somebody a pancake eating mother******? No... no... not unless I knew the guy really well. 🤣

We have 10 draft picks and they're not all going to make the team... we need to set a target of "x" number of receivers that we believe can be WR1 in the first round and make sure we get one (there were rumors floating around the board from "people in the know" that was the plan this past draft, but we weren't able to make the trade up before Addison, the last of that group, was off the board). Screw best player available at our draft position this draft, we NEED to get this fixed and since Diggs' contract ensures that he's here for the next few seasons, it needs to be through the draft.

I don't agree that, when we first got him, Diggs wasn't a difference maker or a player that could elevate the players around him. Beasely and John Brown looked a hell of a lot more dangerous with Diggs than they did the year before... and then Smoke dissipated, and the following year Diggs played with the fumes of Emmanuel Sanders and the last healthy bits of Beasely. I think at this point in his career he needs more talent around him to be able to take advantage of whatever he has left to give than what Davis, Harty, and Sherfield provide. We need a true WR1 to let Diggs assume the role of WR2 until we can free ourselves of his contract.

I dunno… there were times Davis played like a serious #2 💩

Promote him to DC/assistant HC

Doh!

FIFY.

I think they should name a DC/assistant HC. If McDermott is going to call the defense, then, if it hasn't already been done, have someone designated to be looking at/assisting him with the big picture when he's otherwise occupied on game day. Maybe it could be someone with better in-game instincts.

That article has a clip with an end zone viewpoint of Diggs dropping that pass. What the hell was he doing? He pulls up, turns inside and jumps for the ball, which he still should have caught, when if he keeps running and turns outside the ball would be right over his outside shoulder. Granted, I’m sure it was a B word to track, but when you’re one of the highest paid WRs in the league you’d think you could handle a throw that your QB basically dropped in the bucket if you play it right.

🤔 I’m wondering if replying to this thread with the middle finger emoji will get me banned…

The defense was a skeleton crew. I'm sure the gameplan was to keep it within a score and bleed the clock on offense from the opening kickoff. When KC's defense adjusted and it became tough sledding on the ground they had to loosen it up by taking shots downfield. I have no complaints about the offensive gameplan yesterday. Improbable as it was to succeed against the Chiefs with the defense as undermanned as it was, it almost worked.

They would have been better off putting Dorian Williams on him, he may have gotten burned a few times, but at least he can run with him. Apparently everyone and their mother, except McDermott, knew before kickoff that Klein would lose that battle every snap.

The Bills had a 14 minute TOP difference. It had nothing to do with the defense. Mahomes and the KC offense would have scored more if they had the ball more, and they would have continued taking all of the blink of an eye to do it.

Instead of a caption, I offer an impersonation for your viewing pleasure, instead...

At this point in his career, they need to draft a #1 that pushes Diggs to #2 for the rest of the time that we have to eat his contract.

I hope it's the Chefs.

ACC?!?! Now them’s fightin’ words!! 😂

Yesterday was the sort of "valid excuse" that requires a coach to dial up something unexpected to be able to win the game. Watching Klein playing catch up 5 yards behind Kelsey was not unexpected... but as a defensive plan it was unexpectedly stupid, among other things. This was the sort of scenario that, as much as I hate to say it, Belichick in his prime would do sufficient self scouting and say "How can we not let our opponents take advantage of our obvious weaknesses" and pre-empt what he knew would be coming his way... McDermott is not that coach.

Clemson?!?! What heresy is this?!?!

I don't know, I think the other WRs more than made up for Gabe's dropped ball production last night...

I’m not crushed because I’m not surprised. If we could have run in the second half like we did in the first, we might have had a chance, but after Spagnola made the adjustments and our defense continued to get gouged it became pretty apparent that the Bills were going to have a hard time winning this one.

Not watching... has the weather been a factor so far?

Interesting thought. D Williams can definitely find himself out of position, but if he lights up Mahomes the way he lights up most of the ball carriers he tackles watch out! One kind of gets the sense he found himself in the protocol out of an abundance of caution given his history, which is the antithesis of the Tua fiasco.

Maybe between plays…
