You're welcome. Although my own paraphrase may not be exact either. If you want to hear it for yourself you can goto my thread. Part two video right about 15 minutes in. Honestly the entire thing is worth the watch but it will take you an hour. For that specific play though 15 minutes in roughly on part two.

Well I would say that of course Kurt Warner would have taken the guy over the middle. Have to be careful with that being gospel though. Warner is not Josh Allen. They are two different style QBs that are hall of fame talent but for different reasons. Allen has the arm talent to get the ball there. He targeted his number one guy. The guy he most relies on because Diggs last year would have caught that ball. For whatever reason Diggs is having a down year. As he also said, he isnt in the room. He doesnt know what order reads are and he doesn't know what Josh is told to do. Maybe Josh should have thrown over the middle. The thing is that reads are a split second decision. Josh seen Diggs one on one. He saw him get open. There is a timing to that. If Josh comes off him to check someone else, there is no going back. If Shakir isn't open there then what? Diggs was open. There has to be chunk plays. It can't be all dink and dunk take what the defense gives you. They give you that for a reason. Because mistakes are bound to be made eventually. When that mistake is made it kills a drive just as fast. At some point a chunk needs to be made. Probably 2-3 of them. Mahomes and his receivers got their chunk plays. Allen and his receivers did not. I think people nitpick too much. Its easy to play armchair QB when you can pause. Its easy to play armchair when there is no pressure on you and you can just look at each receiver over and over and paused and what have you. Its not the same as looking from behind the pocket with bodies flying around and you have 3 seconds or less to find you guy and deliver the ball. Allen has a special talent. That talent is not the same talent as Tom Brady or Kurt Warner.

This might be your best one yet. I am not quite old enough to have started watching when you did but I am pretty close. I think I am at the same stage as you but I do like to still look at plays and form an opinion on them. Not so much as to nitpick plays but for knowledge and fun. The Bills are going to be great as long as Josh Allen is here. He is one of the best in the league and always will be. I enjoy each and every game. I was disappointed in the loss because I felt like it was there to take and I am tired of not getting over the Chiefs hump. I am not mad though. I am basically just sad the season is over and its such a long wait to get back into it.

He didn't say that at all. He said it was an incredible throw and yes it should have been caught but its tough to track it 65 yards down field. He says he gets it Diggs was open but for him the percentages he would have went with the guy over the middle (I believe that was Shakir.) He also says he doesn't know what Josh is told and he could be told if you get your best player one on one with the safety to take the shot. He never said anything about it being dumb. You are injecting that from your own opinion.

Of course Beane runs the draft. He gets input from McD about what positions he needs and the type of players he is looking for. They align themselves on building the team. Beane drafts the players he thinks are a fit from what McD wants. Sometimes it's probably what Beane feels is BPA. They are aligned though. McD is not dictating the specific player. Beane isn't dictating the positions.

I didn't read the article and I am not going to pay to read it. I think it's pretty safe to say McD is not getting fired this year. If he was going to get fired then he probably wouldn't have handled the end of season press conference. This team needs a good OC. Whether or not Brady is that guy, I don't know. We haven't actually seen his offense. I did think he did a good job taking over mid season. I also felt he called some pretty good games and fixed SOME of the problems on offense. The team also needs to start investing valuable assets into skill positions on offense. I know our defense needs a rebuild but frankly, I just don't care. This D had tons of money and draft picks invested in it only for it to fail miserably. We have a 200 man D line rotation that sat on the bench for long spurts of time and they got almost no pressure at all on Mahomes. Thats pathetic. I know other guys were injured and people playing were not 100% but the D line should still be able to get pressure. It was time two seasons ago to embrace Josh and get another outside receiver that could stretch the field and make contested catches. One that can make catches that are routine. One that can make catches when they aren't perfect too. Its time to embrace Josh and realize that we need the skill players to out gun Mahomes. That aint happening with the Sherfield, Harty's, Isabella's, Gabe Davis of the world. Need a star. A freaking star. Not some role player. I'm tired of seeing Mahomes able to play pitch and catch all over the field and his guys run for 20 extra yards while our guys are tripping over each other in the same area making coverage easy. Im tired of seeing our guys drop balls. Im tired of seeing just the checkdown get open only for him to be collapsed on. Im tired of hearing about how Josh lost the game because he missed one damn pass all game long. Im tired of people thinking that the way to play offense is to throw the ball behind the los. Thats all BS. Every damn team in the league gets guys open and they catch the damn ball. We don't. The checkdown don't count. Josh should not have to play perfect. No other QB on the planet is expected to have to play perfect. Why? Because its damn near impossible to play perfect. We got spoiled because Josh had a perfect game or two in the playoffs. That doesn't happen. It should not be expected to happen. Not even Mahomes plays perfect. We had ***** defense and he didn't play perfect.

I mean... Josh did get a TD with 13 seconds left on the clock that should have been a game winner. The D crapped the bed. I doubt that ever happens again unless some kind of fluke kick return.

He might because of the result but IMO a TD was there if he had a half second longer. I take the TD every time. TDs are a premium in the redzone and the closer you get, the harder it is. Especially against the Chiefs who were playing our guys tight all game long. Also part of the routes/spacing issue could be WR coach, not OC. Lets not forget we lost a good WR coach in Chad Hall.

The difference is Mahomes didn't have to play perfect. His scheme had open people and his receivers made catches and plays with the ball. And his kicker made the FG You can't really install an offense in the middle of the season. All he can do is make tweaks and narrow play selection. I dunno if Brady is the guy or not, just saying. Honestly, he doesnt even have a lot of talent to work with. IMO he at least got guys involved that Dorsey didn't. He got a run game working that Dorsey didn't. So he has that going for him.

Your statement about the route runners is true. The Bills need better receivers and maybe better coaching on the routes. However, I think it's worth the watch for people to understand how bad it really is and how much harder Josh Allen's job is compared to other QBs.

Next year is going to suck. I will never forget this safety duo. Best in the business. Two of my favorite players. It's not going to be the same without them.

It's in two parts about a half hour each but well worth the watch.

Nothing is guaranteed. 7 yards to go with 2 defenders over top is not "first down all day." Diggs avg YAC is 4.

Diggs likely doesn't get that first down anyways. He was 7 yards away and two defenders over the top of him. KC wasn't missing many tackles. People just love to blame Josh for everything. Now if we don't throw behind the line of scrimmage its hero ball.

I probably would, but it isn't going to happen. I appreciate that he rallied to get to the 2 seed but this guy I don't think ever gets us over the hump. The right thing to do is embrace Josh Allen and pump high end talent into the offense. What is likely to happen is most of our resources yet again going to the defense because a lot of these guys we have now are gone. Get ready for another season of all the best resources going to the defense.

Diggs getting a first down on that play wasn't even guaranteed. Two guys could have easily collapsed on him and KC was doing a great job of tackling and not allowing extra yards in the pass game as they tightened up throughout the game. The time for Allen to throw that pass if he were to would have been right over the middle, 2 yards past the LoS. Diggs would have had 7 yards to go with 2 chiefs in his way to stop it. The throw to Shakir was the right read.

Oh, 100% its not everyone and every fan base has bad apples and fairweather fans. You and I are never going to agree. I will at this point just agree to disagree with you instead of arguing in circles. 100% this. Full text so you don't have to click Travis Kelce didn’t have a single game in the 18 before last night’s with more than 1 touchdown. Shows up to Highmark and catches 5 passes on 6 targets for 75 yards and 2 TDs! Stefon Diggs’ last 100-yard game was in Week 6. He caught 3 passes on 8 targets for 21 yards and 0 TDs last night. Neither Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen have a great collection of weapons. You needed the stars to shine last night. KC’s did and Buffalo’s no. 1 option didn’t. He had his chances. It’s hard to win in the playoffs when your best players don’t produce. Same goes for Ed Oliver.

When a TD is there you take it. There is never a sure TD. You may never get a wide open receiver in the endzone like that again.

Bills mafia is weak. Their claim to fame is "we went to the good weather games during the drought years" and jump through tables, and drink shots from a bowling ball. Harassing a player is disgusting. They were equally soft in the stadium. All week I heard about how KC would have a tough time in our stadium because it would be so loud. They were all drunk and on their phones by half time. Tight game all game and this soft crowd wasn't even loud enough to make Mahomes use a silent count. Perhaps they should harass themselves.

He also would have easily been sacked by Jones shedding the block he had leverage on and being next to Allen with no one around.

When its likely your last possession, the game is absolutely about getting the TD first.

Need to build the team and have the right coaching plan that can then. Aint going to do it with players that don't show up and a roster with Sherfield and Harty and Diggs dropping must have footballs. Aint going to do it with a highly paid broken Von Miller, a bunch of scrubs on the back end, and a highly rested front 4 that cant do ***** when it matters.

If Josh climbed the pocket, Jones would have had an easy sack.

Need to make that catch Diggs. I dunno what it was but you had problems for half the year. This was your moment to shine. Don't worry, Allen will shoulder the blame of this game for all the players that played like this.

I hope someone offers him a truckload and it isn't us. Good riddance. You were part of the problem here.
