Where's the irony? In 6 years one team has 3 Super Bowl wins and 6 consecutive AFCCG appearances. One team has 1 AFCCG appearance. I don't have to stretch to criticize the Bills roster and coaching staff just because I'm so hyper sensitive about my QB. The results speak for themselves.

Slightly 🤣 My favorite part of the Chiefs fans on here is you have to demean every other part of your organization because any hint that Mahomes is not 100% responsible for their success is sacrilege. Any hint that Allen with the Chiefs could have had similar success is sacrilege. So it comes down to coming up with bizarre (and wrong) opinions about your own coach and surrounding talent.

Saying he was the "2nd overall pick" is the definition of bad faith argument. By that logic the Jets have done a better job investing in the QB position than the Bills or Chiefs over the past decade. It's a completely meaningless fact that you only threw out because you had nothing susbtantive to say. Like I said, every Chiefs fan on here seemingly started watching football in 2018. I get it. Dynasties bring a lot of bandwagon fans on board. Comparing Andy Reid's run in Philly with McDermott's run in Buffalo and expecting people to take you seriously. 🤣

My honest reaction to this news is just that I'm glad Araiza is getting his deserved 2nd chance.

At least this won't have any effect on our playoff matchups.

Lol thanks. What does this have to do with what I said? McNabb was not at Allen's level. Period. Why is it that literally every Chiefs fan on here does nothing but troll the board with bad-faith arguments? Three Super Bowl wins isn't enough for you guys? It's never occurred to me to go to the Dolphins board and come up with all-time dumb arguments.

So the answer is no you didn't watch football before 2018. Allow me to educate you. Andy Reid led a worse QB than Josh Allen to 5 conference Championships and 1 Super Bowl. The proper modern comparison for his run in Philly is Kyle Shanahan. Always getting to the finish line but never crossing. McDermott is the modern Marvin Lewis but with an elite QB instead of Andy Dalton.

Did you watch football before the year 2018?

That's the point. The Chiefs made a concerted effort to prioritize the defense the past two offseasons and immediately got an elite defense that elevated its level of play in the playoffs. The Bills have prioritized defense over offense every year that Allen has been here and not once have they gotten elite defensive play that lasted through the playoffs.

We faced the most man coverage out of every offense in the league. I don't have the tweet handy but Cover 1 posted it a couple weeks back. It was like 35% of the time or something like that. Against man-heavy teams like the Chiefs it was a real problem.

Oh sorry, were we making cogent points? I thought we were coming up with bad-faith statistical comparisons. My bad.

Tyreek Hill with Tua throwing him the ball (per season): 119 receptions, 1,754 yards, 10 TDs Tyreek Hill with Mahomes throwing him the ball (per season): 86 receptions, 1,213 yards, 11 TDs

He already is.

Unfortunately my lasting memory of Davis is all of the missed opportunities in big moments. That divisional game was one for the ages though. I'll certainly never forget that.

Any 1v1 matchup late in the game is the most favorable matchup for Chris Jones. Outside of a few truly elite offensive linemen, which Dawkins is not. And yeah I believe coaching put him in that position. Our coaching had AJ Klein trying to stop Travis Kelce for 3 quarters.

You say that, but on the most critical play of the most critical drive of our playoff game they got Chris Jones lined up 1v1 against Dawkins. Great coaches put great players in position to make great plays. I guess I just don't inherently believe that Veach is THAT much better at scouting draft talent than Beane. Jones, Sneed, McDuffie, Karlaftis, Bolton. All of these picks turned into hits that elevated their play in the playoffs. None of them were seen as elite prospects.

Both are true. The defense has let the team down in the playoffs primarily because of poor scheme, play calling, and personnel decisions. Many people on here will disagree with this, but the evidence is right there on the film. So adding more defensive players early in the draft isn't going to solve the more fundamental problem. The offense on the other hand, when it (rarely) falters in the playoffs it is primarily personnel issues.

He's in the bucket of players that are decent but never once make a game changing play in critical games, especially in the playoffs. That bucket unfortunately describes our entire core other than Allen. I'm pretty sick of everyone on the team other than Allen collectively sitting out important moments where we need someone to make a play. Rousseau is an elite run defender, arguably the best edge run defender in the league. But value-wise that's almost equivalent to a good nose tackle. Personally I wouldn't give a player like that a 2nd contract. Maybe he'll finally put it all together this year. As a pass rusher he just hasn't given us enough juice.

KC also badly needs a LT. I wouldn't assume they will draft a WR as obvious as it may seem.

My source told me there have been no substantive contract discussions with DQ since his injury. The team is going to let the DT market play out, as they should. Perhaps Beane has finally learned, out of necessity, that you can't waste money on loyalty to players. He's wasted money on pay cuts to players like Butler, Hines, and Settle, instead of just letting them go and realizing the most possible savings. It's time for him to get ruthless and let players discover on their own that they don't have a market. For a similar reason I want them to cut Tre, not offer him a pay cut. It's a ruthless move but the right one for the future.

It didn't work with Diggs because at the end there he couldn't separate and he couldn't make contested catches. Coleman is an alpha at the catch point. More nuance in his route running than people give him credit for too IMO. He has traits that in theory would make him dominant against man at the next level. Obviously it remains to be seen if those traits actually translate and develop.

I don't agree with this. Allen likes picking a matchup against man and throwing the ball there. If Coleman has a good matchup and Allen trusts him to win at the catch point he will get the ball. This year Diggs was always the matchup Allen chose in those situations and unfortunately Diggs fell off big time down the stretch. We need someone that can take over that role.

So you have completely misinterpreted what happened. I'm going to assume you're making a good-faith effort to do so and respond accordingly. It doesn't matter that 10 white people were killed at the offset. Some white men of the city were attempting to hunt down and lynch a black man off of nothing more than an accusation. Some black men armed themselves and defended the man that was accused, and yes they used guns to do so. That's the point of the 2nd amendment. They used their rights to protect themselves from unjust violence. If you remove race from the scenario you'd probably wholeheartedly agree with their actions, yes? A man is accused of a crime but not put on trial or any investigation whatsoever. An angry mob gathers together to kill that man. Another group gathers together and uses their 2nd amendment rights to defend that man from the angry mob. At what point in this scenario are you finding fault with the actions of the defenders? Because I suspect you will have to abandon some other aspect of your political leanings to find any fault there. Anyways it doesn't matter how it started. What matters is that a violent rampage ensued which led to the death of many innocent people, mostly black residents, and the destruction of many homes and businesses. Your statement is akin to saying "9/11 happened because of American military actions in the Middle East" which may be true but also removes exactly zero fault from the perpetrators. You should also know that your comments about the Tulsa massacre are throwing into question everything you're saying about modern problems and solutions. But like I said I am going to assume you're making a good-faith effort to understand these issues so I wanted to start by addressing misconceptions you have about century-old history first.

I like Coleman because he fits what the Bills need. We need a WR that can win against man coverage outside. Defenses ran man against us more than any other team because they knew they could get away with it against our WRs. As a result we were forced to throw passes to our TEs and RBs against man almost half the time, which is not a recipe for explosive offense. Insert Keon Coleman... He has traits to physically dominate man coverage. I get that he isn't a great separator, but being able to physically box out his man and win at the catch point can be equally valuable. Also he could be an elite red zone target. Positional value, physical upside, adds traits that we don't already have. That's what I'm looking for. For me it is Franklin and Coleman as the only two realistically available players that check all those boxes.

You're continuing to make a strong case that you don't know how play designs and progressions work. If you want to say Brady/McDermott should have called a series that focused more on winding the clock down and scoring at the last possible second, instead of scoring a TD right there, fine. I don't agree with that take but it is at least defensible and based in something factual. What you're arguing is something else entirely. You, like many people, seem to think QBs are playing Madden and scanning the entire field all at once to find the "most open" receiver. Again I'd like to inform you that this isn't correct. I don't really know what else to tell you.
