You will not convince me otherwise....... If we're healthy, we beat this Chiefs team by 2 scores in the Divisional round. We're a better team and it absolutely sucks that we have to now watch this ball washing that is going to take place because we got key players injured at the worst possible time.....
That's football. I'm done with the crying. Chiefs have won 3 in 5 years and we haven't even sniffed the Superbowl. It is what it is. To the victor goes the spoils. Props to the Chiefs.

Taking the ball 1st in overtime is a terrible move.
They also got all joe brady near the goalline
It's so stupid to take the ball. Makes zero sense with the new rules. Shanny is an idiot.

Screwed up the clock management there

The Bills won, but he was pretty bad for almost all of that stretch outside of the PIT game. We had to win ugly against some really weak teams in the Chargers and Patriots. He was awful in the air vs Dallas, but that was easily forgiven because we completely steamrolled them on the ground. Despite us getting the win against KC, he didn't shine there either despite KC giving us every opportunity to run away with that game.
He was mediocre against NE and LA. He was fine in the Dallas game. He wasn't asked to do much and I recall their being some drops that effected his passing percentage. Despite a couple of turnovers, he was GREAT against Miami and at KC. Watch the KC game again. Their D line abused us and Josh was running for his life on about 75% of his dropbacks. BUT...Lamar did have two great marquee games down the stretch against SF and Miami that solidified his candidacy. So I don't really have too much of a problem with Lamar winning, but I do think Allen is consistently undervalued by the national press.

Dude, Josh collects records like Pokémon cards. Shall we book a weekend in the conference room to go over the list? He also already has more gear being displayed in the HoF than most people already in the HoF.
Josh is sort of the NFL version of Russell Westbrook. Puts up ridiculous stats, but never quite gets their due (granted, Westbrook eventually got an MVP) because they commit lots of turnovers, have a style of play that isn't completely orthodox, and never (or not yet) win the big one.

I disagree. His yards after contact were the same as Derrick Henry's this year. He is absolutely fine between the tackles.
You seem to be getting a lot of pushback on this, but I agree with you. His tackle breaking and YAC in 2023 were probably his biggest areas of improvement over his rookie year. I just watched all of his plays from three different games (yes, one was the fantastic Dallas game) and he broke plenty of tackles and racked up a bunch of yards after contact. He's never going to be a battering ram given his slim build, but he did a much better job this season of going downhill and at least falling forward in piles which can often lead to extra 1.5 yards on those plays.

What about resigning Damien Harris on the cheap or was his injury potentially career ending? I still think he'd provide a nice complement to Cook, assuming he's healthy.

Hopefully he CALMS DOWN! He was way too high strung for my liking. 😉
I often like to imagine Leslie and Dick Jauron on the same staff, combining for the world's first million yard stare.

Using illegal drugs has always had some element of danger in it. What's it cut with? Does something in it that we're not aware of interact with alcohol? Who knows?
But this is now a new and incredibly dangerous thing, lacing all kinds of drugs - pills, powders, whatever - with fentanyl. Ahh, the good old days when the worst that could happen is that you'd buy some inert crap....
That's why people should always use a test kit before partaking in recreational substances. Also, doesn't hurt to have some narcan around.

My condolences to you and your family, Scott.

Will he though? Let's say they go QB and take Maye. Quinn BETTER nail the OC pick. If he doesn't and the offense sputters and the first few years of Maye's career are spent with little development...Quinn's done. And if he does nail the OC pick and they do well....that OC is likely poached as a HC somewhere and they're left with hoping Quinn can nail 2 OC selections in a row. Tough spot.
You're right. It's not a slam dunk. It never is. Just that more often than not, success (playoffs) is determined by the QB and not the head coach.
Also, what's the deal with Bienemy? Is he still under contract with Washington? I'd think it might be wise for Quinn to retain him.
-
I'm not concerned at all with the DC or OC signings. We've already seen the improvement to the offense made by Brady despite being saddled with Dorsey's playbook and concepts, so I expect good things from him. And Babich has been considered a hot, up-and-coming positional coach for awhile. Best case scenario? He has some fresh original ideas and playcalling that takes our defense to new heights, while allowing McD added space to focus on overall in game management. Worst case scenario? He struggles and McDermott takes over playcalling and we roll out a top-10 defense as we always do during the McD era.

Before the first Chiefs game this year I actually rewatched 13 seconds for the first time since it happened. It may be the worst choke job in NFL history.
The defensive play calls in that situation were so painfully and obviously terrible that the only explanation I can think of is Sean had a literal panic attack and had no idea what was going on or where he was.
The way he had the entire defense play 20 yards off the LOS and left the whole middle of the field open, as if the chiefs had no timeouts. And did it TWICE.
We may never see anything like that again.
I'll still never understand why McD and Frazier gave KC the entire middle of the field to work with when they had timeouts remaining. The entire sequence from the kickoff to the field goal was monumentally head-scratching.
-
Eh, he's a fine coach. Like everything in the NFL, if the Commanders hit on their QB selection (Maye or Daniels?), Quinn will succeed and survive the length of his contract.

Nothing will ever be worse than 13 seconds in the history of my watching up the Buffalo Bills. Not even Norwood wide right was worse than that for me. 13 seconds Team was the best to ever take the field and they would’ve rolled to a Super Bowl victory. I will never not believe that the day I die.
They're about equal for me. Makes sense since those ('90 and '21) were the two greatest Bills teams in franchise history and they were both absolutely on fire and peaking when their seasons were ended.
-
I'm over it. KC was the better team that Sunday, and much of it was due to our defensive injuries which were out of our hands and no ones fault. I found this one much easier to digest than other losses. And I have some optimism for the future given what we saw from the likes of Bernard, Benford, Kincaid, Cook, Shakir, Spencer Brown, Torrance and even Spector and Rapp. Going into this season, I thought things would look bleak for the Bills roster wise in 2024-2025, but I don't feel that way at all now. If we hit on a few of our draft picks and can make a smart defensive signing or two, we should be ready to roll into this fall as a Super Bowl favorite.
-
I'd say Special Teams generally - either our unforced errors or the opposing team doing something extraordinary or at least statistically unlikely (like Elliott hitting a 60 yarder in the rain to send the Eagles game to OT). Besides those playoff games, some others that come to mind are the MNF loss to Dallas in the mid-00s, OT losses to the Jets due to returns in 2001 and 2023, and the season opening loss to the Pats in '09 when McKelvin fumbled away the game late in the 4th.

It was probably 80% unhappiness. Just look through that old thread. So if 80% isn’t universal, you may be technically correct. Even through you’re not.
What's interesting to me is that some posters literally decided to die on that hill. Looking through that thread there was a guy named "T-Bomb", apparently a Tyrod fan, who was apoplectic after the Allen selection, made a ton of histrionic posts in the 24 hours following the selection, and then never made another post on the board again. This was a guy with over 1000 posts over the years. I wonder what happened to these fans.

LOL. I was one of those people. I didn't really love Rosen, but I preferred him over Allen due to his pedigree. I'm a UCLA guy and knew that Rosen, despite his unlikability factor and occasionally suspect decisionmaking, could really spin the football. I saw a little of Allen in the Mountain West and wasn't particularly impressed with him as a QB. How wrong I was.

Tier 1A:
Mahomes
Burrow
Allen
Tier 1B:
Herbert
Jackson
Tier 2A:
Purdy
Hurts
Stroud (maybe too high, but he looks ascendant)
Tier 2B:
Goff
Stafford
Cousins
Prescott
Tua
Lawrence
Tier 3:
Mayfield
Love
Kyler Murray
Tier 4:
Wilson
Carr
Fields
I've left off Rodgers since I have no clue what he really is at this point. I see him as more of a Tier 2B guy going forward.

I Wanna hate them sooo bad because the have rings and The Bills/Josh Allen don't. But damn they make it soo hard. MaHOMMES or TyReek Hill ON THE other hand.
Travis is an especially cool, cocky dude. I hate him as a rival, but I'd love him to death if he was in a Bills' uniform.

The song is not a classic and has no bearing to anything Buffalo, so why continue playing it every home game?
It's no paragon of musical virtuosity, but it is undeniably a classic of the rock and roll canon. It's the late Gen-x/early Millennial "Back in Black." And I'd take it any day over the jock rock staples of Gary Glitter or Start Me Up that I had to endure on game days for years as a kid.

I am so sorry to hear this news, Scott. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Do we make a play for Chris Jones?
