Just here to say it’s a long season…one loss to the saints or patriots will put that in perspective. Yes we all want the one seed but even that does not accomplish what we all really want, it just makes it easier. The ravens and chiefs could both lose 7 games and you may still have to beat them both in the playoffs even with the one seed.

I feel like I saw this thread already…maybe while asleep?

Correlation vs causation. Change correlation to cause and see what the answer is.

The second and last time the patriots beat the colts in the playoffs was like 2004. I think you are misremembering

To the bolded: Did you see where I wrote "Understood it was not the best offensive performance but it’s not like they were just shut down"? Peak offence is now, not 2021, it is clear we wont see this the same. The reason they want to change is it gives you a better chance to actually win, again repeating myself, it might not be as fun or sexy but it is more effective. Did you know Josh Allen by a wide margin has some of the best playoff stats for passing in terms of TD:INT ratio. You said you care about playoffs over regular season....in the elimination games they offense has not been the problem except the Bengals game. In every one of them the defense has been a problem.

The game when they ran for 147 yards and three tds while scoring 27 points on a very good defense? Understood it was not the best offensive performance but it’s not like they were just shut down. No turnovers while scoring 27 points is a good formula to win playoff games even though that has not worked vs the chiefs. Playoff wins can be messy. I would ask for examples of great offenses you can list and then go look at playoff logs over years. I contend your assertion the ceiling is just higher with a pass happy approach is not necessarily true. Each game is unique and you need to gameplan vs what they are trying to do against you. It might not be as fun or sexy but it can be an overall better approach to control the game with their approaxh. It’s not like they don’t use Josh Allen, it’s not just power run all the time.

You found a counter example of when one of the best offenses struggled for half a game. Congrats. That must be where the improvement is needed

Their problem in the playoffs was not on offense. Not saying the offense was perfect but every team could get stop vs the chiefs except the bills.

It is clear people don’t what to accept what the bills want to be. They want to be low risk, methodical and capable of dominating in different ways. And why that might be ok and actually a good thing even with Josh Allen. They are ramping up 13 personnel…that means one wr on the field. Real NFL is not Madden or fantasy

I think you have your jump to conclusions mat out, look around at the other options if jumped a little left or right, there might be some other options.

There is a chance Bass stays on IR all year

The decision to make this thread is equivalent to taking a knee on the last play of the game when you are down by one.

Division games can be battles. I see a lot of negative Nancy’s. Win and monitor injuries. It’s all good. They get the next two they will have a stranglehold on the division. I

The ravens are not a good team? You are drunk. Sleep it off

They let them hang for too long but not mistakes and eventually they got the tuaover!!

Nice inflammatory title "From Rapp"....this was not the typical Rapp friendly fire

He doesn’t even get nominated as the bills rep

Letting these clowns hang is not cool

Yeah and they had plenty of time to see it…both the nfl and the bills.

Hill didn’t catch that third down

If you point out the lack of chiefs wrs people say yeah but kelce. Interesting how we now ignore the first round investment in a receiving te. I have never seen a deep dive analysis on drafting. Instead it’s the list of misses and that is why beane sucks. There is not one GM who does it miss with high picks. If there is show us who that is.

Allen is a big part of it. But this is a team stat. It is as much a McDermott stat as it is an Allen stat. You don’t accomplish this if it is not being driven home from the staff. It is exceptionally hard to do.

He used to do one yarders for his last few years with the chiefs.

Straight up ass kicker!

We don’t know if his BPA are any of those guys over Elam.
