So about the refs tonight UPDATE: Rams game discussion on page 14
SCBills replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Refs will miss things, but that’s inexcusable. Everyone saw it. The announcers saw it. Von pointed it out (which then rendered him useless on the play). And most importantly, the ref obviously saw it. -
Not just that, but we’re seeing Cooper, Shakir and Hollins really develop with Allen into their roles as a truly legit 3-wide — especially when you factor in how multiple they can be with the run game / screen game, given Hollins blocking ability. I do think they need to be smart about how they re-deploy Kincaid and Coleman, because Allen looks to have serious synergy with these 3 + Knox and the usage of a 6OL. Coleman, I think is a bit easier to integrate, given he can be used as a big body contested catch guy and was showing WR2 ability before he got hurt. Kincaid and Allen have been off all season, so hopefully they can get on track, because if they can.. good luck to any defense.

I see people say this, but most weeks he’s one of our highest rated defensive line guys. Not a high barrier given our DT’s have been giving us nothing and Epenesa shows up every 2-3 games, but still..
-
Tough schedule & outside of Hendrickson, their defense is terrible and while Burrow is elite and Chase is a monster, Higgins missed some time and their OL allows Burrow to get beat up week in/week out… …which, of course, means if they sneak into the playoffs and we have to play them, our DL will somehow not lay a finger on him. This is also their “all in” year, because their owner struggles with cash liquidity and moving forward exactly zero of their big time players (outside Burrow) would ever take any type of even minor discount to stay there.
-
Broncos could definitely slip out of the 7 seed given their remaining schedule comparative to CIN, especially since one of their remaining games is against the Bengals.
-
At least Dallas put that way to lose on film before Kansas City’s next opponent can do it.

My favorite part of today.. if any of these guys have any self respect, they heard the media (correctly) blaming them and McDermott for holding Allen back. It’s as if a national media dam broke today and everyone, all at once, realized how all time great he is, resulting in the display of utter disdain for our big game defense and coaching.
-
I doubt they play it the same way, up 2 at their 30, us with 3 TO’s … they would’ve tried to end it with Stafford. Regardless, we’ll never know. And to the other comments in this thread, if you watch the replay Josh clearly makes an annoyed remark about a timeout walking towards the huddle.
-
Hence the biggest non-coaching difference between the Bills and Chiefs being Chris Jones. We don’t have that one guy that can just end a drive. And sometimes that’s all you need in these games… See, Dawkins getting walked into Allen as Shakir broke open in the end zone, pass incomplete, missed FG, game.

12/8/24 Game 14 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Rams post game Thread
SCBills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great post. It was shocking to see how bad our healthy defense was yesterday. We almost got to a point where I had pushed the idea of this happening out of my head as long as we stayed healthy. Even if we snuck out with a win, I’d be happy and glad we’re still in striking distance for the 1 seed, but I can’t unsee what I saw. In some ways, getting the Lions immediately is a blessing as it gives us a chance to put this game behind us, prove we can slow down a great offense and keep the pressure on KC to win at least 2 of 3 against playoff teams. If we can’t slow them down, well at least we know what we’re dealing with in the playoffs and the offensive gameplanning should be done accordingly. I don’t think there is an offense remotely close to Rams/Lions in the AFC (aside from the Bengals), but every QB we face is going to be someone who has shown he can go off any given game this season. -
12/8/24 Game 14 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Rams post game Thread
SCBills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Pretty universal frustration at what surrounds (and has surrounded Allen) for the past few years today. From Orlovsky to Brandt to McAfee to Eisen, the entire football world seems completely fed up with games like this happening in Buffalo. "IF" if happens again in the Playoffs, it's going to be ugly. -
@ Browns Texans @ Steelers @ Broncos I still see a path where KC goes 2-2 in this stretch I very much see a path where they lose 1 of the next 3, which would come down to a potential L to the Broncos giving us the 1 seed if we win out Would I bet on it, no way.. but that's not an easy schedule, especially if the Broncos are playing for their playoff lives final week of the season in Denver.

12/8/24 Game 14 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Rams post game Thread
SCBills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Seems like Defense and Coaching failures like to intertwine... Defense was DEFINITELY the issue yesterday, above coaching failure. And that's saying something with how McDermott handled the end of game situations. We forget, but we were about to put Baltimore on the ropes and cut it to a one score game in the 3rd Quarter until Brady called up the dumbest trick play imaginable which ended the game and almost got Allen killed. -
Where was the defensive adjustment on Puka Nakua?
SCBills replied to 26TrapDraw's topic in The Stadium Wall
Silver Lining is nobody in the AFC has the equivalent of Stafford/Kupp/Nacua and a strong running game. Maybe the Bengals, but they likely aren't making the Playoffs. Only tactical decision I might make moving forward is making Elam gameday active.. At the very least we could give him a shot in press man coverage if this situation arises again. -
Elam better be active moving forward, regardless of Rasul's health. We need that man cover bullet in the chamber, if needed.

12/8/24 Game 14 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Rams post game Thread
SCBills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Basically said that this is the type of game that really gets Bills fans on edge.. A game where we come away saying "We have 17, how do we not win every game" and "What more can Josh Allen do?" Prefaced by saying this doesn't mean the Bills won't win the Super Bowl, we very well might, but God forbid, we don't want to look back at this era and say that Josh Allen was unbelievable, but they just could never get it together around him. -
Because we started loading the box and sending run blitzes to stop their run game. And against teams without a great passing game, that can be enough.. but when we face teams that can run and pass at a high level, this is often the result. Luckily, there's not a lot of teams that can do that... Unfortunately, the teams that can, typically make the Playoffs.

I'll see if I can find it to link later, but Kyle Brandt was phenomenal on GMFB about what happened yesterday, and what continues to happen in big games/big moments with JA/Bills Defense/McDermott. -
McD will be the scapegoat to hide the real issue this week
SCBills replied to Cray51's topic in The Stadium Wall
After sleeping on it, I realized that the past few seasons when our defense looks like a wet napkin in the playoffs, we always had a built in excuse… injuries. And it’s been valid. We’ve had horrible injury luck going into and in the playoffs, especially in that side of the ball. Theres no excuse yesterday. We were as healthy as we’ve been all year. I guess we can say that maybe Smoot comes back and Milano/Carter shake off rust and get better down the stretch? That’s it, that’s all I’ve got. One of the worst defensive performances in years and we don’t even have a valid excuse this time. -
How was it meaningless? Do you mean to tell me that we have a defensive HC and a healthy defense, and with 3 timeouts and a minute left, down 2… we had zero chance to get the ball back?

Depends.. the norm relative to the season, no.. outlier. The norm relative to teams with good QB play that have strong coaching and a balanced offense? Yes. -
Calling it now: You're all about to witness the arrival of Shakir
SCBills replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
Pretty close to just saying priority 1 this offseason is extend Cooper and Shakir, while bringing back Hollins and Ty. With the OL and other existing contracts on the books, that’s basically our entire starting offense plus depth. (I say this thinking Cooper would take a 2 yrs/30M from us) -
Even Benford though.. Chiefs didn’t pay Snead. Does Benford take away his side of the field? He didn’t today. That’s the only way I’m paying huge money to a corner. Bernard is small and gets injured often. Rousseau is above average at everything, with more potential, but doesn’t wreck a game. IF this defense folds in the playoffs, I think Rousseau and Bernard are guys we should take back at our price point.. and if they walk eventually, fine. Benford, I honestly don’t know.. just keep drafting corners and coach them up. At some point McDermott being a defensive guy who has a stellar track record with secondary players has to come into play given all we sacrifice to not have an offensive guy.

We’d have two AFC/two NFC losses. If they lose to an AFC team as their sole loss, they’d be 3 AFC/1 NFC.
