I hear you bro… they need to get creative somehow … my thoughts are that other than moving up in the first a few spots for a WR if there is one they are in love with .. I’d be happy for them to take some shots with those Day 3 picks … they are losing 20 free agents this year so these guys can make the team this season …obviously they will be backups but cheap at least ….You prolly right that we can’t get into top 10 for WR. If I was GM I’d find a way, including next years first, but that’s why I’m not a GM. 😂

If a team traded for Knox … we would have to be the ones throwing in a pick to get them to bite on that contract…Dane Jackson is not under contract in any event … but has very limited trade value …
Moving beyond say Pick 23-24 is a bit of a pipe dream .. and even doing that would cost their third round pick …
There must be some combo to get into top 10 to get WR. A CB, Ty, and a 3rd. Any suggestions?? The only untouchables are Milano and JA17. I think Beane will make it happen.

Pretty much this. I think 1-3 of those guys will be gone by the time we pick. Most likely Thomas and Franklin are gone imo. Leggettes combine/pro day could push him up too. Is it worth trading up for one of them? Or sit and take Mitchell? Is he ok trading up like we did last season for one of them. Those 3 are legit speedsters, while Mitchell is not.
We should package Knox and Jackson along with our first to move into top 10 to nab a difference maker WR.

WR in RD 1 please. They do need to address the defense as well. But they need another weapon for Allen to throw to. If Diggs really is starting to decline, then the WR pick becomes more important.
Also need pass rushing DE. Strachan from Univ of SCarolina could be had in round 4.

That's fair. I do think the offensive game plan was solid. I'm not in agreement with the criticism I've heard with regards to Brady. Overall, the game plan was solid. The oline was great in the first half pushing around their Dline.
Adjustments were made by Spags. He added another guy on the box and did some run blitzing. It definitely hurt the Bills run game.
The Bills offense didn't punish the Chiefs enough for committing to stop the run. The Bills receivers couldn't separate enough on their talented secondary. Brady took some deep shots and the Bills WRs missed very catchable balls. Probably, the difference in the game.
Didn't finish out the final drive. I hated the first down run. I thought they should have rolled out Allen and used him as a duel threat. Either run it or pass it. I think Josh would have been unstoppable.
Wondering if the Bills thought they were in 4 down territory? Because the playing calling didn't seem to bare that out. I would have tried to at least get to a 4th and 2 or 3. Didn't seem like they were in 4 down mode. Maybe I'm wrong. Ideally, another first down was needed. Take the clock down to less than 13 seconds (just kidding). Burn it as much as possible and get that TD. A first down would have done that I believe. I know easier said then done.
The offensive game plan was fine. The combo of the Bills lack of WRs talent and the elite secondary of the Chiefs proved detrimental.
On defense, I'm not sure what McD was doing? They had a difficult time stopping the Chiefs. They didn't punt for an awful long time. To their credit they made a huge stop to get the Bills the ball.
All in all, the Bills coaching wasn't bad at all. However, it just felt like the Bills players and coaching were a dollar short sort of speak. Like it was unlikely the Bills could pull it out. Perhaps, it's me and my mindset. Just feels like this regime always falls short. Really sucks.
I think about the Kelly days in the 90s. I know different team, different era, and different players. But I remember when Kelly had that ball for the final drive it was money. Same with Brady, Burrow, and Mahomes. With Allen, I'm less confident. More hopeful than I should be. I ask myself why? It's not because of the lack of talent from Allen. It's because of the lack of talent around him with includes coaching. The belief isn't there for me. I think that's where McD falls woefully short. I'm not so sure he believes. His presser sure gives indications of doubt. He has fallen far too short too many times come playoff time. Absolutely, why I'm advocating change. Others, like yourself haven't seen enough I suppose.
Good thoughts. We’re all frustrated but I’m proud we got the AFCE after being 6-6. Sure they never should’ve been 6-6 but they played for the coach so his message must still be relevant. If we would’ve finish 8-9 or 9-8 I would be right with you, even with an injury riddled season. Focusing on that last drive, I do wonder if JA17 has too much autonomy. He wouldn’t do that to the GOAT coach. Brady wouldn’t have done that. He had more situational awareness. A TD with 1:30 left is not good strategy. It seems that JA17 has rope to free lance. It works 60% of the time, but that throw at that time is inexcusable.

I think Diggs is getting the crap beaten out of him because by the middle of the season it's clear that the Bills offense is primarily Diggs and Josh Allen.
Yea, he gets slammed like a rag doll which is intentional. I think he’s got bruised ribs, ankles and feelings.

How can you say that after 13 seconds? The Cinci thrashing where the team wasn't prepared, terrible game plan, and out coached? There are probably at least 10 significant reasons why would could reasonable conclude McD isn't the guy. I'm talking about post season and an eventually SB.
Besides optimism I don't know what McD supporters could point to for evidence to support their thinking?
I'm having trouble understanding your perspective.
Does it take more than 4 to rush the passer? Mahomes didn't even get a scratch on

Cmon Newcam you gotta agree that we had good game plan. Btw, Chiefs didn’t sack our guy either, and we had good run game too. Throw the coach a bone!

I failed to mention that the Bills D line was as healthy as it's been all year. They failed to take advantage of the weaker KC tackles. They produced zero sacks on Mahomes and very limited pressure.
In the second half, the Chiefs oline did a very good job with their run blocking schemes. Pacheco was quite successful running the ball vsca healthy Bills front.
In essence, the Chiefs Oline was mostly successful vs the Bills healthy Dline.
Everyone wants to talk about injuries which is true. However, the Bills Dline also failed to step up. This really hasn't been discussed much.
Who is in charge of the defense?
That's obvious but make your case for McD staying. I mean there is one to be made even if I disagree.
Only one way that happens.
I agree that our DL didn’t step up, but stopping run requires more than 4 guys. KC loaded the box to stop our run in 2nd half. Those 7 for KC, and the other 4, were healthy. You can call it an excuse but the D we put out there on game day would’ve lost us the games with Fish and Stillers.

You fail to mention a few things. The Bills were favorites to win the game. The Bills were playing at home. The Chiefs offense looked as beatable and less explosive as they ever have. The Bills came into the game red hot. The Bills players and fans had been waiting for this exact opportunity for years.
This was probably the best chance the Bills had to beat KC. They squandered another opportunity under McD.
No we didn't know Mahomes would score at least 30. They didn't score that the week prior vs a poor Miami D in their house.
The Bills offense was completely healthy and they have one of the best QBs in the league. Yes the KC D is very good. However, the Bills offense has to rise to the occasion. It didn't which seems to be a common occurrence in divisional round playoff games.
You can point to all the excuses you want. There will always be excuses available. "It's tough to win it all" is another you can use. At some point, the excuses just don't hold it's value. I believe after 3 straight playoff one and outs the excuse narrative gets old, diluted, and stale.
A coaching change at one Bills Drive is as clear as day for many Bills fans. Unfortunately, that's not happening and the likelihood for progress with this regime seems suspect at best.
All good points. Our D on game day was worse than those Fish. Considering the circumstances, our game plan was perfect. The coaches got it right. Even the GOAT coach would’ve done the same. Remember what he did in our first SB?
-
Go down the list of those great QB teams and you’ll find flaws — either OL, DL, WRs, secondary, RBs, etc. Our biggest flaws that are holding us back are DE and WR. Get these addressed and we have a chance. Oh, and get lucky with injuries.

-WC Loss to the Houston Texans. We weren't ready. Second half collapse, but Year 2 Josh Allen. Not the end of the world.
-AFC Championship Game vs KC. Defense was handed an early lead and proceeded to lay an egg. But hey, we're making strides and weren't ready for that moment. But we're on the right track.
-AFC Divisional Game vs KC. 13 seconds. Abject failure that falls directly on the coaching. We'll apparently never know where the disconnect was in those final moments, but ok.
-AFC Divisional Game at home vs CIN. No show all around. Damar Hamlin, mental exhaustion... ok. Fine.
-AFC Divisional Game at home vs KC. Defense is an absolute dumpster fire. McDermott leading that Defense. But we have injuries, so... Spags had injuries too, and managed to make life difficult in that second half, but ok...
Playoff wins over Miami with a backup QB, Pittsburgh with a backup QB, Baltimore, New England and Indianapolis.
Every year, aside from 13 seconds, he's had a valid excuse. First two years, building, making strides...
But then 13 seconds happened, and our Defense has been an absolute liability against the Bengals and Chiefs.
He gets next year, I'm sure, but there can't be anymore excuses. Valid or not.. he's used all of them up. We talk about needing luck yet NE ran the AFC for a decade + and now KC is doing the same. It's not luck, as much as we want to pretend it is. And when we watch Allen play Mahomes.. it's not the QB. So what is it? Rhetorical question, because we all know.. and he's out of excuses. Valid or not. You can't have one every year.
The difference is the defense comparison. Let’s see, KCs defense has Jones, a premier secondary, and no injuries. Ours was hobbled. We knew Mahomey would score at least 30, and we limited them to 27. The game plan almost worked. I doubt that a track meet would’ve been better because we would’ve had to score 50 against that D. Unlikely.

on WGR this morning they read this incredible stat: in the 4 most recent playoff losses (KC,KC,CIN,KC) McDermott's defenses forced a TOTAL of 6 punts in 4 games, with 1 total turnover forced (the goal line fumble this weekend) and zero sacks or INT.
That's a pattern, not "well, injuries..."
How will it be different next time around? That's the real question. What evidence is there?
To even get to, let alone win, a Super Bowl you are going to have to beat the top QBs and coaches. This isn't Brady's AFC where he had 2 games to win against the Titans and Jaguars to get there.
Does any team get sacks and picks against KC in playoffs? Their schemes and skills mean they don’t beat themselves. Can’t say the same for our team.

I’ve seen this posted over and over again in the last few days, and yes, it seemed *likely* that the Chiefs would have marched down the fold and gotten a game winning FG, BUT….there are no guarantees. It certainly wasn’t an absolute, and anything could have happened (INT, strip sack, fumble, defense holds and they punt & Bills get ball and get GW FG).
Agree. If Shakir gets the TD, we lose too. We gotta be up by 9 with 1:30 to go and they play 4 downs. Go 🦬

Taking down the Ravens was a possibility; however, realistically, playing 3rd stringers on D we went as far as we could expect. Also, I believe #14 has been hampered.

The usual crowd. I am gutted, so disappointed. This, like 2021, felt like THE year. But this was a super close game, almost equal everywhere. Reid and co did a great job, so did the McD and his staff. This is not like the Bengals outclassing them last year, nor the awful 13 second idiocy. This just... sucks, but it's a coin toss almost.
Better to lose now. With our hurt defense, we got as far as we could go. It started with Milano, and then the D dominoes started falling.

Yeah there's no way Taylor Swift would be able to sit in general seating and just blend in with the rest of the fans. She is on a completely different Celebrity tier than Hailee. I get that it's super annoying the way the NFL coverage crams TS down our throats nobody wants that. But some of the personal hate and expectations towards Swift are unfair in my opinion.
She is a hard worker which the Mafia should respect. I respect her talent and hard work. She seems to be a good role model for girls. I think her being in Buffalo adds some pazzazz to our party. Maybe she’ll jump through a table. Glad she’ll be here.

If you want my honest opinion the entire wind confusion thing sounds like utter nonsense. I guess it could be that the exterior skin could be used to break up wind a little bit, but that surface would neither increase or decrease snow.
I would hope it would reduce the winds from blowing in snow. We may be pleasantly surprised, but, like you, I am skeptical 🤨

What about the wind confusion screens? I imagine the snow would stick to them, but maybe they’ll be heated. Asking for a friend 😂

Looking at that photo/rendering, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that new stadium's seats and aisles would be covered in snow just as bad as Highmark was the other day (after a similar high wind/Lake effect snow event).

Thats why it will have a partial roof. Reduce shoveling needed by about 70%. Plus all the hallways will be heated and large and wide. Somehow, boston, new jersey, cleveland, pittsburg and philadelphia can have their open air stadiums, and not be called morons.

Elam has a target on his back because he's not subtle about his grabbiness. He's not running step for step and sliding a little arm around the guy's waist out of the ref's vision or committing a jersey grab that's hidden between his body and the receivers.
He's getting beaten by two steps because good NFL WR are successfully juking him, then he tries to make up for it by reaching out and using their jersey as a leash.
It IS difficult to take officiating seriously, but the stuff Elam is doing is slam-dunk.
The thing that bothers me most about Elam is that he seems to shirk physical contact. He got run over pretty good yesterday afternoon. 5'9" 180 Cam Lewis and 5'11" Dane Jackson out-thump him regularly and so can Damar Hamlin who's like the same size.
Pacheco runs like a junkyard dog that hasn't been fed in a week and the DB is a steak dinner. We can't have a CB who plays like Wiley Coyote when too many Chiefs players can say "Beep! Beep!"
Beck: love those thumperisms, gotta be able to thump. I agree that is an issue for Elam. I never saw Tre as a thumper. Sauce definitely isn’t a thumper. It’s the technique of going low and taking the legs out. Against that TE last night, none of our CBs could’ve done much better. I think Elam’s athletic ability will shine next year. We can only hope.

Agreed, prime year to get it done. Allen can forget personal accolades until he changes the perception by winning a SB, right or wrong.
If JA17 plays like tonight we win. Yea you can say Mahomes isn’t Rudolph, but Allen could’ve scored 40 tonight, if needed.
