    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.

    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?

  6. 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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good points between DHop and Cooper. But why is Coleman catching unnecessary strays?

    I wouldn't say it's unnecessary. If you have one WR that has catching issues, maybe you can work around that, now our top two outside guys both do, and that's a problem.

  11. To everyone that has ever met me, I'm the biggest Bills fan they've ever met, yet I come on here and have to play the role of the guy that hates the Bills, because this place is constantly filled with the most outlandish nonsense. At no point in his entire life was Amari Cooper close to the player DeAndre Hopkins is. Yea, he's faster, and he's younger - he's still not better. Maybe some people saw that this evening.

    Cooper was cheap, so that's a bonus, but his lousy hands have already made an appearance for us, and he's leading the league in drops. If there's one non-negotiable I have for a WR, it's catching the football. That said, Cooper is still the best WR on our roster, and I'm happy to have him, but between him and Coleman, we have two starting outside receivers that can't catch. That's not a recipe for success.

    We beat them when they had a winning record. And the Cardinals could lose next week. It doesn't really matter until all the games have been played, and even then, who cares?

    Well, you should if you're going to pretend like we're fielding a high-end football team. our wins have come against opponents with a combined 20-41 record, with 9 of those wins coming from seattle and arizona. We've played against historically bad football teams this year and we haven't always looked good doing it.

    Josh has been playing very well this year, maybe the best of his career, but we still have issues on offense (two bad drops by Coleman yesterday, and one by Cook), and our defense is nowhere near the level it needs to be to shut down good teams in the playoffs. We're absolutely in store for another scenario where we can't count on them to stop anything and Mahomes just bleeds us out at the end of a playoff game unless something massive changes. Given that all the defensive talent we have has already bloomed, it's unlikely we can count on too many guys getting hot by the end of the year that make a sizeable difference. Bishop maybe?

    If your goal is to win meaningless games before Christmas, well good news. We should get to 10-12 wins easy because our division is a dumpster fire and we have 3 more gifts on the way. If you're actually trying to win a championship, I don't think this is a team you can seriously consider at this point. We're nowhere near the top 4, and maybe aren't in the top 6.

    I get a bit tired of hearing Andy is the BEST NFL Coach. He's coached 26 years as a Head Coach with a career record of 264-144-1.  A winning record of .647%

     

    He failed at every Super Bowl opportunity BEFORE drafting Patrick Mahomes in 2018.  In 2019, with Mahomes really running the show., Andy got his 1st Super Bowl win.  The rest is history.

     

    Sean McDermott is 78-43 in Buffalo.  That's a 645% winning record.  Josh Allen isn't as good as Mahomes.  I wish he was !  Mahomes just plays the game at a different level.

     

    The day will come when the Bills win a Super Bow with Sean!!

    It's the best winning percentage in the salary cap era. Not sure how much better you can be.
