You put way too much stock on a week 5/6 game. Both teams are completely different down the stretch. KC was rolling and improving. Buffalo - and jerrry Sullivan was dead right - didn’t look like a Super Bowl offense. Even with Von Miller - cincy game doesn’t change. For the love of god - we play 10 yards off the ball - Burrow throws the ball within 1.5 seconds

Good stuff. I have the perspective that this isn’t a franchise like Steelers, Baltimore or historically solid - minimal fo/Hc turnover and also - this is PROFESSIONAL sports. And it is the NFL. You have a legit qb. You MUST cash this is in as a coach / fo / franchise into a Super Bowl. Anything less is a failure. it is cut throat and harsh and not the local high school team “hey coach - you’ll get em next year!” My measuring stick is Super Bowl. If we didn’t have Allen / qb - I’d more be the fan that’s like hey we’re winning the division and winning a playoff game or two. Quite frankly it’s still a loser mentality

Ala no-business-being-in-the-league Hackett w Rogers

Yea and we get Von / a winner and a leader. And he has to “coach” our guys to “not blink.” it’s disturbing The more we’re discussing this- further makes me want McD gone

Did Jamar chase play ? Did you watch the game ? you also aren’t as POd off about it as bengals fan bc your HC and QB took down kc in kc and played in a Super Bowl in year 2

The other thing is - cincy and kc even if down 14 or 21. Can come back and win. im pretty sure buf / Allen haven’t seen that yet

Blown out ? nah- just a one of those games against a div opp. They at least looked like they belong

Nope Jake Fromm , Ricky proehl, Matt arazia , VOsean , not even in the league Yea kc / cincy never look like they don’t belong in any game. bills v Indy bills vs Philly / Carson bills vs saints at home bills and cincy looked like a preseason game / drought era drubbing

Yea. They fired Ralph Kruger they also hired Rex Ryan

For sure- had same jauron vibes. “We’ll we gotta look at the tape” ”gotta have faith” ”hard to win in this league”

Owners know nothing about football. Media has a huge influence on them

I was saying early this year, pressure is ratcheting up on McD. Needed to make super bowl this year - team looked stacked early in the year. Now national media ( i think of all the talking heads - sims and florio are the most reasonable and legit ) starting to recognize McD and Beane arent getting the job done. Sims is a little more on the side of needing more impact players which I agree. I still think think the right move was keeping Daboll and leaving frazier and McD in kc parking lot after 13 seconds (and hous and kc playoff game poor D performances)

Yea - he’s not worth a big contract. Not at all.

Noooooooooooooooooooo

I’ll also add - and finish. If beane was absolutely on his game and cut throat he would have traded edmunds last offseason and at least gotten something back in a trade. But I’m not gonna kill him for it bc he and - we all thought - this was a Super Bowl team so you gotta try for it. we’re at the same juncture w Oliver. Trade him NOW!

He’s NOT worth it. He doesn’t factor AT ALL in crunch time against the elite passers. In fact he gets abused w mahomes eyes. He can’t cover kelce. He simply doesn’t make enough plays on the ball in the passing game. LET him WALK! he’s really soft at stopping the RUN. Poor at point of attack. He’s so tall and plays so tall he gets DRIvEN back 7-10 yards way way way too much.

END this thread!

Please god. Not more obj speculation. We already have a 100+ thread that was utter nonsense

And back to back 3rd rounds

It was at the line of scrimmage tho. And we’ll within 5 yards. It’s a brutally bad call

Nah he’s not. But the point is the same - need to crush it in offseason to win it all. Still our coaches are inferior to Reid. So that’s disheartening.

Yea as I reflect. You just can never look like how the bills looked at home in the playoffs. They looked like a rookie team never made playoffs before on the road. That performance was INEXCUSABLE. To top it all off you were 13-3, a game away from Super Bowl previous year , and favorites all year. It’s mind blowing

They won’t. They’re too much into culture and nice guys. toney and kelce (suspended a year for marijuana) would never even be a consideration

Great, great , great post. For sure. gotta change scheme / adapt or die. Can’t go half in. They started to w drafting a man corner in elam.

They were “favored “ this year. They weren’t even CLOSE against cincy. Vegas odds for next year mean jack shiit
