I would love for you to quote where I said this. If you want to talk about 13 seconds, and the defense getting smashed by KC last year and Cinci the year before in the playoffs, I am here for that discussion.....that does not align with your narrative on my point of view though.

Continue with the names....it just reflects on you. Did you actually look at the links I provided, how do you reconcile the Bills have this terrible slow stat problem, yet they have the second most wins, most points scored and least points against since 2020? If they always have slow starts wouldnt you expect point differential to be closer or have more losses If you are being truly honest would you say maybe the slow start talk is possible overblown? Curious if you are actually open to discussing this logically vs just throwing out names. Since you dont want McDermott, who would you replace him with?

I think bass is to blame for the blocks. He has weird mechanics and a low trajectory.

They will unravel if that happens. It is not quite 3.5 since the dolphins have a game in hand.

I go by facts, you go by uncheck emotions.

going to 4 of 5 SB's and willing 3 of them give him that grace......I dont disagree with this thread but winning SB's is what it is about. Not to mention he has been bad this year yet they are 7-0....his defense is a big reason why.

The team has the second best record in the NFL since 2020....."years" How significant of a problem is this really? They have like the most points scored and least points against in that timeframe. I cannot image what their output would be if they did not always start soooooo slow. So you say they have slow starts, do you have data that backs that up or is it a "feeling"? How do you reconcile the slow starts and the facts from the links below? How does such a poorly coached team have the most points scored and least points against since 2020...YEARS? https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-wins-since-2020-nfl https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-points-scored-since-2020-nfl-team https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-team-defense-fewest-points-allowed-per-game-since-2020

he played the whole year last year as well. He missed three games in 22 and 4 in his rookie season. Not really that bad...he has had a lot going on in off seasons too with surgeries and whatnot. I love his tenacity!

Frankly, You are the one with the narrative....there is an insatiable desire for every play to be the perfect play call and if the play does not go well its the coaches fault. As if the guys on the other side even if lesser than opponents are not highly skilled athletes and coaches in their own right who every resource to make a gameplan for themselves. At the end of the day, the score was 34-10. I do understand the slow starts and that gameplans can have an impact that but you completely ignore that the players have some culpability here. Take the first drive, 3-1, Allen puts the ball right on the receiver for an easy first down and the coaching staff just dropped the ball? Not saying the coaches cannot improve here and there at all, just that your expectations are impossible to meet. All teams have quarters/halfs/games when they are anemic. But when its the Bills its just the tired narrative that its all the coaches doing.

By Realistic you mean super highly unlikely right?....everything goes perfect that could happen....saying that is realistic is ridonkulous

Who are you firing today?

You have to complete the catch, he did not. It was pretty obvious, even the commentators worked out the reasoning.

He is so good

Not happening. He and McDermott don’t want to work together, they don’t like each other. People don’t remember all the challenges the offense had when Dabol was here. They just remember how it ended.

Mahomes with yet another int.

Another mahomes int!!!

Get your homework done!

It’s more fun when he plays.

I am so happy there is a Troy Franklin update thread to read everyday.

Brady sounds like a rookie…let’s give him the A team slot….

There is only one way to end it….. also, it’s good to understand that those “narratives” pay salaries, people make more for saying things that get reactions. Because if social media and people’s reactions it snowballs.

Bernard could miss time with an ankle…we will seee

It’s partly narrative, partly ignorance and partly that the chiefs are undefeated. Which btw is the same argument we use with Allen, the turnovers don’t happen at critical times for either of them.

That was the correct call, we were all disappointed but there was nothing bs about it.

Mahomes has more ints than Allen since the start of last year. And I think they are equal now going back three years. The turnover thing was always overblown but at the same time something he needed to improve on.
