More crossers and work over the middle in general sounds good on paper..........but when your QB throws seeds like Josh Allen........being just a little off can lead to turnovers. I'm fairly certain this is why they've operated that way since Allen got here. Nobody is more aware of this than Sean McDermott.......whose defense is built around the idea of causing those kinds of turnovers on tips and overthrows. Now if you have Tom Brady or even the now version of Aaron Rodgers(man has he lost a lot of mobility).........then you gotta' throw those passes into the middle of the field and try to get non-RAC guys lots of RAC yards by leading them to daylight to put the ball in the end zone. The Bills do not have to do that with the multi-dimensional Allen.........they can afford to not get RAC and still score a bunch against most opponents. But they'd be better with A LOT more RAC when the get in shootouts with guys like Mahomes and Burrow(with his unreal WR corps). So how do you get more RAC while not exposing your offense to more turnovers? Adding an explosive, quick and fast target to fill in the gaps between Diggs short route mastery and Davis long-striding deep ball capability. With all due respect to Diggs, he was never the kind of player I am talking bout............and he is by far the Bills most explosive player in the receiving corp right now.

There is no difference between shown and proven in this instance...........you are cowering behind the vagueness. Isaiah McKenzie put up 177 yards receiving on the season...........and after his "Duke Williams" game with both Beasley and Davis out in New England he put up just 6 receptions for 63 yards in his last 4 games while getting that more "extensive" role. That's another sub 300 yard season pace. You have irrational faith in Isaiah McKenzie like some had with Duke Williams..........you aren't going to own it........you'd rather look ignorant by making statements like he's shown he can be a faster version of Cole Beasley(who has proven he could take a high volume beating and keep producing for a decade). I like McKenzie too............I'd keep him on a cheap contract again and continue to use him as a gadget player...........but if you think he is going to put up 800 yards receiving for the next many years you should probably contact draft kings and put some coin down because nobody in their right mind thinks that.

He has neither "shown" nor "proven" that he can be a Beasley type(but with speed!). He's "shown" that he can get you 175-285 yards a season and frustrate his coaching staff enough to not give him a lot more chances.

No salary cap? The salary cap tore the early 90's team apart. The Will Wolford escalator clause BS. Ballard and Odomes. If they had been playing by pre-free agency rules with no salary cap the Bills might have gone to 6-7 straight SB's.

Beasley has averaged 812 yards per season in Buffalo..........more than thrice Beasley's best season.......closer to his 5 year career total..........so no he hasn't proven he can do that. Duke Williams had a 100+ yard game in 2019........did he show us he could be a special player that day? I could give you a LONG list of ex-Bills who had one or a handful of huge games and clearly weren't special.

I guess we need your seasonal statistical definition of "special" Petey.........and how much they should pay him per year?

Unless

Yeah OC's who get HC jobs often just like to hire guys who will run their offense like they want. Not sure about Daboll's contacts but since it had been a good while since Daboll had been an NFL OC prior to getting the Bills job.........Dorsey might be the only guy who he feels comfortable handing the keys to right now.

He has proven he can be a "special" player? Where the f*ck is THAT proof? He is 5 years into the league with like 900 career receiving yards and never averaged as much as 10 yards per reception in any season. He is too careless with the football to keep a return job. I'm not saying that he can't do better with more chances if he has an elite QB like Josh Allen...........but he hasn't proven he can be special..........he's proven he can be a useful gadget player.

Yep, he couldn't handle the Patriots offense and didn't last long.

He must have a reason for endeavoring to be the next Curtis Modkins...........perhaps McD wasn't sold.

Wentz seems like one of the more unlikeable characters in recent NFL memory. And anytime players can go around the HC to management..........that's a recipe for disaster.

This could be true but I have not heard that about Pederson. His rep on Philly was that he was a complete pushover for Roseman and Lurie and did whatever they told him to do for years. Then he wanted to hire Zac Taylor's little bro to be his OC so he had someone he trusted.........and they said no.......so he finally told them to stick it.

Unless he reconciled with his ex-wife, the family is likely #stayin. As for "Bills Mafia moving to the Meadowlands"...........no f'in way.......just another former coach movin on..........that was a bad take by that twitter boy...........ain't nobody becoming Giants fans because of this.

They are required to interview candidates outside of the organization before hiring a new OC.

In his several prior NFL OC stops he was used to finishing with offensive ranks in the 30's..........so he might fit in a long line of recent Giants HC's in that regard. He was worth more to the Bills as an OC for continuity than he is anyone else in the NFL IMO..........but best of luck to him. Hopefully the next OC can take the Bills offense to the next level.

Yeah but Ocho was actually seen as very smart, a technician that got he most of his athletic ability........ but did so with a goofy diva act. McKenzie is a bad practice player who hasn't seemed to be able to learn how to elevate his game. Belichick needs to add speed to his offense but it's really hard to envision a bad practice player who then comes into games and makes mental errors is going to be a priority add for BB.

The 1990 Bills choked in SB XXV. The McDermott Bills have all been underdogs in their losses...........so not a choke. Homefield is still worth 1.5-3 points to Vegas. Learn it or be wrong.

Bills in playoffs this century: 3-0 at home in playoffs 0-4 on road in playoffs home field is not meaningless. Also #1 seed means a bye and less games to win to get there.

Belichick hates dumb players. McKenzie is somewhere between a box of rocks and a stump on the scale.

He has 5 SB rings with NE and a national championship ring with Alabama as a non-HC already.

Yes. He's an elite talent that is dirt cheap next season........just over $1M due, so cheaper than a first rounder.........which is really important and allows them to make other moves in the short term. To me.......Josh Allen with DK Metcalf has always been the ulimate potential combo of physical freaks at their positions............should have happened on draft day 2019. There are downsides..........he will be a free agent in 2023........putting him at Z means Gabe Davis or even Diggs might have to play some slot to get all 3 on the field. But Metcalf is a potential full season TD record breaker out wide when combined with Josh Allen........a perfect match for Allen's powerful arm(and seemingly improving deep ball)...........a giant target when the weather gets bad in Buffalo.........a player who will physically exhaust the opposition as well. I'm also a little leery about extending Diggs contract.........he's still really good but I don't want to see them give him some 5 year extension for $100M on top of what's left based on what I saw this season.........he's got enough mileage on him that I'd like the option of seeing both Metcalf and Diggs together and decide after next season which way to go long term. If you lose Metcalf in UFA........that's a fifth year option you don't have to worry about and you likely get a late 3rd round comp pick for him in 2024. Doesn't sound like much but there is no guarantee that 25th overall pick is going to be better than Shaq Lawson. Also, Gabriel Davis has not proven to me that he can be relied on all season..........he has had big games both seasons........but I still don't trust him to be the uncontested WR2. The inconsistencies and days when he just hasn't been able to make a play(like the likely game losing drop in Jax for example), the games missed and hindering nagging injuries both years, his decision making that cost him the chance to play in the second NE game, and just the lack of actually having a 800-1000 yard season yet tells me he doesn't yet warrant that nod for a team who is shooting for a #1 seed or bust against teams like KC and Cinci who are loaded with more proven weapons.

I felt this way after they went ahead with the FIRST TD late........that Josh Allen had just proven to me and anyone else that he was going to an MVP type player for a long time..........even though I was certain that KC would absolutely march down the field playing 4 down football, kill the clock and score a TD and beat the Bills and their tired defense at that point. So it wasn't hard for me to get back there after Hill scored quick and everything else that ended up happening. Couple hours after the game I was done with the what-if's.............the team as a whole didn't play well enough to warrant all that hand-wringing that is going on about the "13 seconds". They didn't earn the right to win that game.........they only almost got lucky because of a 1 man show that Allen put on.

You thought that the possessions were equal in regulation. They were not..........so don't make the mistake of thinking you are some sort of mathematician when you presumably have 20 fingers and toes and can't even count that high. The only way you can get back-to-back possessions in regulation is to win the opening toss and defer. While that is no guarantee.......per Sharp analysis.........receiving the ball to start the second half results, on average, in an extra point on the scoreboard(versus receiving the first half kick) and a 12% chance of stealing a possession. This is why teams almost universally defer to receiver until the second half. As it turned out........the Chiefs did indeed "steal" that possession.

1st half - even Bills start with ball Chiefs finish with it 2nd half -1 Chiefs start with ball Chiefs finish with it OT -1 Chiefs get the ball
