ganesh

Gone from last year squad: * Hyde, Poyer, White, Jackson * Rapp, Hamlin, * Matkevich, * Floyd, Epenesa, Ford, Jones, Lawson, * Harty, Sherfield, Davis * Murray * Morse It is the defense once again that is garbage and needs to be retooled yet again. Unfortunately, they cannot get rid of MIller(and his big contract) and hence they will have to give up White (and his big contract). The Bills backups are average to below average. We need better talent for them to step up and not miss a beat.

someone posted it earlier... The Bills have beaten an aging Rivers and a bunch of nobody's in the playoffs and have lost to Mahomes, Burrow and Watson. That definitely appears to be missing strategy. Teams in the playoffs (post the Wild Card) are evenly matched and the game swings based on a few plays here and there. The ones with the stronger mental strength are the ones that forge ahead.

disrespect to Detroit and the Ravens

It's ok..as you have to try something different when what you have is not working (and you expect a different result). What is not ok is not having a plan to replace McDermott.

When the game was on the line in OT, Mahomes drove his team down the field for the SB winning TD. That is clutch. I love Josh as our QB but he had the chance to win that game against the chiefs by keeping the ball till the end; instead he went for Hero ball and misfired. That is the difference between the two...it is marginal..but that is what wins the SB If we don't misfire on that lsat drive and forcing to kick a 44 yard FG (with a shaky kicker) then we are moving to the AFCC....But we failed. that is the difference between the two teams.

The Chiefs were good on Offense, Defense and ST. We have ways to go to catch up with them all three phases

disrespect for the SB Champions !!! That is not tied with the injuries. They can go over the huddle only with better coaches/schemes/execution. The Bills could have gone to the AFCC if they had executed better in the last drive. The Bills could have gone to the AFCC if their defense did not give up TDs on 3 straight possessions after half-time. There is a reason why the Chiefs went on the road and won in Buffalo and Baltimore. They were coached better and executed better. Plus they are NOT afraid to play their young players....and finally they are about 60M under the cap.... The Bills need to cut bait with high prized players as the margin of improvement with them is very small.

> Patrick Mahomes- Is the best QB in the league. Comes through 95% of the time with the game on the line and very rarely fails come playoff time. Josh Allen is a very close 2nd but doesn't have the supporting cast that he does. Josh has not been clutch when we needed (at the level of Mahomes). He could have won the game against the Chiefs...But just like Purdy did not get the TD to win the game. > Chris Jones- Maybe not huge on the stat line tonight but affected the pass and run game all night for the Chiefs. Makes the QB get off their mark. Cost the Bills at go ahead TD in the divisional game, harrassed Jackson and Purdy in both of the other games. We don't have a game changer like Chris Jones, He made so many plays to keep their defense in the game while the offense was struggling in the first half. We should have paid him instead of Miller. McDuffee, Butker, Sneed are draft picks that have panned out...The bills drafts have not been that good...we have got good players but not the ones that are best at their position. Reid and Spagnola - FOr them to go on the road and knock the #2 and #1 seeds in the AFCD and AFCC tells everything about this coaching staff. They are not afraid at anything including bringing in a yought movement. MCDermott needs to learn to trust his young players and let them play and make mistakes. When you depend on the guy sitting in the couch in the playoffs you are doomed. This is the downfall of McDermott. > To me for the Bills, to get to the Chiefs level, they need to acquire more high end talent The Bills need to draft well and then play them... This is on Beane and McDermott. I see 2024 as the last year for both of them if they don't win the big dance., For that they have a lot of hard park to put.

Who do you replace him with? I am not saying McDermott can win, but who will come to take this job especially with the salary cap. Look at the Chiefs...They have no superstars (except Jones) on their Defense and they have kept the much vaunted 49ers offense off the end zone.

The Bills lost a game that they had every chance of winning in the final quarter. There last three drives resulted in zero points. The blame for this lies on everyone including Allen. Josh to win the big thing needs to play the smart game. In that final drive they needed to get closer to a makeable FG first before going for the TD. The defense has been pretty bad through Josh's tenure and that needs to change. We are making big bucks to guys that are not making ENOUGH plays. Hyde, Poyer, Miller, Jones, White are top 5 players in a defense that have not delivered (either through injury or poor play). The Bills need to get that defense younger and let them play.

Let the draft come to you. Always pick the best player available. You don't need to keep reaching in the draft for need.

The other QB in the Super Bowl would agree to disagree. Mahomes and Josh are the two best QBs in the NFL

That number gets skewed when Josh Allen (and his 15 TDs) is your QB

get him a defense

Fangio is overrated. His defense in Denver were horrible. The NFL continues to recycle these old-boys-network coaches.

Tua and Purdy had great seasons and should be at the minimum in Tier-2 if not Tier-1. I think Mahomes is in his own world until otherwise proven.

Agreed. We need one more draft to build some starters and backup depth. Right now our only blue chip players are Allen and Milano and Oliver border line (though he disappeared in the playoff game).

We have..they have not performed..That is on players and coaches... Diggs, Knox, Oliver, Rosseau and even Dawkins haven't gone on being blue chip players.

I agree. they made many blunders on that last drive. They lost their focus and did not play smart.

I have the same feeling. Washington got a pass a lot of times for poor performance. He seemed to be right hand man for McDermott

I think this will happen no matter what du to the salary cap. there will be a purge.

Gibbs involved in every yard of the 75 yard drive. Amazing !!!

I think there was an article that showed the INT split between when he was coached by Ken and when Brady was calling the plays. The numbers were much lesser in the 2nd half. Go Bills !!!

They beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead

We need to come firing with our athletic TEs like we did last week. The Chiefs will play quite close and hit hard. Can they hold on to the football. Go Bills !!!
