There isn't a world in which Allen doesn't play another down and isn't a lock for the HOF either. That is how good Allen has been even without the hardware. Truly amazing. 

That's definitely not true. He doesn't have the stats to back it up. If he retired today, he'd be in the same boat as Andrew Luck.

[Are Dynasties no longer rare?]

It's pretty simple. You have the best two football coaches of all time with the best two quarterbacks of all-time. That will create dynasties. People slept on Andy Reid not being an all-time elite coach despite 4 straight conference championship appearances and a SB appearance just because he didn't win the big one, and he did it all with Donovan McNabb who drew serious questions about how good he actually was, by being straight awful as soon as he left Philly.

You'd be trading a known entity in your specific situation, at the most important position in sports, for a fairly comparable player who would now be in a new environment without arguably the greatest play-caller and TE of all time at his disposal.

 

I would pass on that deal, believe it or not.

You'd be trading for a known quantity that has 3 super bowl rings, 3 SB MVPs, 6 straight AFC championship appearances, 6 pro bowl nods, 2 all pros, 2 MVPs and an offensive player of the year in exchange for a guy that has 1 AFC championship game appearance and 2 pro bowls. Seriously that is the extent of Josh's accomplishments.

Look, Allen is an elite QB, but Patrick Mahomes is already AT WORST, the 2nd best QB to ever play the game and a lock for the HOF. Bills fans are incredibly silly.

[Sans Allen, who are the untouchable players moving forward?]

Everything is for sale at the right price, including Josh Allen. If KC wanted to trade Mahomes and a 1st for him, you absolutely take that deal.

Realistically, will anybody give you the right price? No, but that's a different matter. There isn't another true super star on the entire roster that I wouldn't trade for a much more realistic return. I'd think you could have your pick of 52 other players for a decent 1st round pick.

[Harrison Butker to IR]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. If he never played again, that would be just fine.

I get the fans frustration. We go out and spend a 3rd round pick on a one year rental player, a shiny new toy for JA17 and in the first month we've gotten a game and a half out of him and if he sits this one out it'll turn into 1 1/2 games in a month and a half. Will he be recovered after the bye or will this be an ongoing problem for the rest of his tenure here ?

 

The team only has four options ... 1. Play him even if doing so makes it worse ... 2. Sit him until he's healthy ... 3. Amputation ... 4. Spleen transplant.

Options 3&4 might be a bit drastic for now but if Coleman is back before him ...

Who cares how many games he plays? The only reason he's here is to help win a Super Bowl. Padding regular season wins isn't going to do that. Rest him until the playoffs.

Chiefs haven't scored more than 30 points so far in regulation all season.  Ravens have done it six times.  It's easy to see a path to losing this game but Ravens game part 2 doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It's a perfect "get right" game for KC that sends them off on a run from here to the end of the season. This kind of thing is our specialty.

I won't be shocked if we beat KC. After all, we play them decently in the regular season. However, much like KC, we've been cruisin' for a bruisin' the way we've been playing football games this year. We have yet to play well against a good team, and we've looked heavily flawed against some pretty bad teams.

I could absolutely see a scenario where KC lights us up on the ground, where we've been especially vulnerable, and Travis Kelce just walks into open spaces in the field all day, and Mahomes hits a couple of big deep plays. You combine that with some Buffalo turnovers, and it could easily get away from us.

I hope we drop 40 on 'em instead, but not optimistic about that without Cooper, kincaid, and Coleman unless some players who have been invisible for much of the season finally show up in a big way.

Allen, McDermott and the crew just keep on rolling. Still a long way to go but McDermott should be in the running for Coach of the year. With the all injuries we’ve had to overcome, and all the new guys we had to play, we haven’t missed a beat. 8-2?? Best start since 1993? Just an incredible job by McDermott and his staff. Still have a long way to go but I’ve been very impressed. 
 

Big Kudos to Joe Brady as well. We finally have the balanced attack that I think most Bills fans have been calling for for years!! On to Kansas City 

Why do you think it's not a rebuilding year?

Yes, he does.

 

I saw that hilarious tweet too.

Tackling someone 40 yards downfield after you took your 12th bad angle of the game doesn’t impress me.

 

 

Hamlin certainly has room to improve, but why use that play, when he's on the far side of the field, to make your point? It would have been a highlight reel play had he gotten involved in that play.

Bad Neck is all.  He is not old by safety standards and I don't think is slow either

He's been slow most of his career. He played like an old man when he was 29. Dude's beyond washed.

[Best End of Season Scenario for Bills]

Best case?

Win the Division, beat C tier playoff teams like The Broncos/Colts/Chargers/Steelers and get handled by Baltimore or KC in the AFCCG.

[Does Hyde return this year to the Bills?]

He's been washed for a long time. I'm not sure he's an upgrade over what we have now.

This probably isn't the popular opinion but I think the Giants offense has overperformed given the level of talent they're working with. I don't know if I put all the Giants woes on Daboll. 

 

Joe Schoen has been a disaster for them, I don't think that's arguable. 

Nabers is already a stud, Tracy has been a major hit, and Slayton and Singletary are no scrubs. Hell, I even see Jones throw really nice looking balls from time to time. There are definitely worse offensive talent pools in the league.

If Daboll was so bad, why was he a hot commodity for a HC job back then and everyone here was talking about how we're going to lose him at year end?  The Bills also improved when Daboll was here.  And BTW getting better each year, this is only year 3 for Johnson so hold the brakes a bit on that.  If after 5 years straight they improve, then yes can agree not a flash in the pan. 3 years is pushing it!.   The Lions also were also real bad for a number of years prior, so helped them get many high draft picks, won 10 games in 3 years total prior.

If Daboll was such a hot commodity, why did he take the worst HC opening in the league?

[Bills set to release Mike Edwards (S) barring trade prior to 4PM ET *UPDATE* RELEASED BY TITANS]

Mike Edwards has always sucked. I hated the signing when we made it, and the fact that he was a disruption in the locker room is just icing on the cake. He's been complaining for weeks, so this had to be done. If you aren't good enough to beat out Hamlin or Rapp, you better be a rookie or the ultimate process guy. Edwards was none of those, so good riddance.

Hopefully they can upgrade via trade, but if not, Cine can't be any worse.

The pro personnel dept has never been on the same exact page as the coaching staff under Beane.  Rasul Douglas worked out, Daquan for awhile until he hit his wall this year, the rest of the FA/trades have been total busts.  Hopefully Cooper changes that narrative a bit but man, does Beane piss away money.

I wonder if the Browns would part with Nyheim Hines?

[ZaDarius Smith Traded to Lions for CHEAP]

Just now, SoonerBillsFan said:

We somewhat agree, we need TWO DL. A DT and DE.  I will stand on my argument we had two top level safetys and didn't make a super bowl. Shore up the line, and the Secondary gets better.

They weren't top-level for the last couple years, and we had other problems before that. They weren't the reason we failed.

An elite DT who can disrupt the run and collapse the pocket would also be a much bigger asset than a DE. You need to impact every play, not just have vanity sacks. The Bucs sacked Mahomes 4 times yesterday but they still lost, because they let him go for 77% anyway and let Hunt grind them down.

You're looking for a higher ceiling out of our defense when I think our floor is way too low.

[Nick Veronica - Joe Brady is a betting favorite to become next Saints HC]

I'm totally ok with that. Brady is a product of our roster.

A safety means nothing if your pass rush can't get home.  We had two all pros and no Super bowls. PASS RUSH, is key good sir.

A safety helps take away the deep ball and helps against the run. If we don't shore up the run game, it also leaves us vulnerable to play action. Most of the top teams in the league right now have strong rushing attacks, and that will matter if you want to win a SB this year. On a good day, an elite DE will get you 2-3 sacks, and maybe none of those are game changing. A safety can be a contributor on every play.

[ZaDarius Smith Traded to Lions for CHEAP]

Garrett wouldn't be worth what he would cost in a trade. I'd rather have Crosby if he becomes available, but I think adding an elite safety would benefit us more than anything. Give me Matthieu or Byard and I think our defense takes a noticeable step up.

Coleman is still young and finding his way.

Absolutely fair. I don't expect a rookie WR to come in polished - it's extremely rare, if not unheard of. I only consider it an issue for us in the immediate term because we need to rely on him so much this year.

Hopefully working on technique will be a big focus for him in the offseason, and he's a monster next year.
