Lamar wasn't allowed to bring his MVP trophy to the table?

That's true. That's why every halftime show sucks.

I agree, which is why I said they shouldn't have called it. But some fans are claiming the hold didn't happen and when they see it did, they claim it didn't affect anything (even though it clearly did). The level of outrage is ridiculous. You know what really lost the Eagles the game? Hurts fumbling and spotting the Chiefs 7 free points. Or how about getting zero pressure on Mahomes the entire game, with a historic sack defense?

It was a ticky tack call. It did affect the route, though. The initial hold does impede the receiver somewhat. I'm not sure why you and others don't want to admit that. It's obvious when you watch the play. I think they shouldn't have called it, but there were technically still grounds to call it, including an obvious jersey tug.

It clearly stopped his momentum.

That flag was not as bad as many others you see from officials. He WAS held. I don't think it was a bad hold. It was a ticky tack call, for sure, and in that moment you should probably let them play. I don't think the outrage is warranted, personally.

I agree. Josh has his own issues to clean up. He should not be immune from criticism. Yes, the oline needs to be a lot better, and yes, the defense needs to play better in key situations, but Josh made a lot of bad mistakes of his own last year. When your oline is not good, you need to get the ball out quicker, for one thing.

She was clearly lip syncing most of the time. I think they had her live voice once or twice for a few seconds, but that's all. There were so many times where she left the mic or lowered it too soon, but it didn't impact the vocals at all. That's what i don't like about it. Don't be a wuss. Sing it live.

The Eagles have a good defense, though. They led the league in sacks and got zero in the superbowl. I think the Bills will win more in the playoffs if they can dial in their offense more, even if the defense is worse.

Can't fit everyone.

That Eagles defense did nothing. Led the league in sacks and left Mahomes infinity time to throw in the 2nd half. It doesn't matter how good your defense is in the NFL today. You need a consistently dominant offense.

Don't project your own insecurities onto him.

I wouldn't mind drafting a pair of olinemen high in the draft. I'm also hoping for a WR. I'd take a WR first and then maybe oline in rounds 2 and 3. Also, regardless of past failures on the defensive line, it is still a problem. You don't stop addressing a problem because you failed before. The dline needs to be fixed as well. Von coming back will help, and Rousseau is good. But we need a better 3rd edge rusher to come off the bench. Settle turned out to be a non-factor, and Phillips is always hurt, so we need a better interior dlineman off the bench as well. Draft or free agency, but these positions need to be addressed too. And if we don't sign Edmunds, MLB is the #1 position to address on the team.

That's just good life advice for everyone. Avoid Twitter at all costs, regardless of what happens to your sports team.

I don't care if people want to complain and be sad about the loss. I find it childish when fans come on and demand change and make declarations that this coaching staff and this team will NEVER succeed. That's just a bunch of BS. If people want to talk objectively about what changes the team needs to make, and some do, I am totally happy with that. You can even say you want to move on from McDermott or other coaches and state your reasons, but to get all emotional and attack them ceaselessly is just childish. And the statements of finality are silly. This was not the last chance the team is going to have to make the superbowl. And there are a lot of FALSE statements being made, like McDermott never changes, or he's a bad coach, or he is unwilling to change the coaching staff. All of that is hysterics and objectively false. Go look at the history of this team under this regime. If you point that out, you get labeled a homer.

Locked On Bills, Cover 1, and One Bills Live are what I listen to. Locked On I listen to every day. One Bills Live I don't listen to everyday. Maybe once or twice a week. Funny, because the stats and rankings are the main reason I like the show. My least favorite episodes by far are the herd mentality episodes. But I'm a data and stats guy myself. That's what I do for work.

Not even slightly. I'm happy for both of them. The Giants have a big hill to climb still. They need a lot more talent (and a QB) before they will truly compete. Good luck to them.

Pretty sure voting happens before the playoffs.

It was a downright bad roster. He definitely deserved it in 2017. 2020 he was a good candidate as well. Voting happens well before the superbowl. Superbowls have nothing to do with the award.

He was well liked, but our receivers haven't exactly been developing well. They are all the same or worse than they were when they got here, outside of maybe Diggs. But Diggs flourished with the increased opportunity and his connection with Josh Allen, not because he got great coaching from Hall. Why do you think McDermott won't change? He fired his offensive coordinator after one year and then brought in Daboll. He has made numerous coaching changed over the years, including multiple positional coaches, like the oline coach, dline coach, etc. He makes changes like every year to the coaching staff.

The Bills have plenty of flexibility in the cap. People don't seem to understand how the cap works. Beane can restructure to create a lot of cap space. He built these contracts to provide that flexibility. It has gotten tighter, but there are plenty of things Beane can do. People were saying last season that Beane wouldn't be able to do anything, and he ended up bringing in Von Miller, re-signing every worthwhile Bills free agent, and completely revamping the interior dline. I think fans just need to settle down and see how the off-season goes. And, you know, see if it is actually true that the Bills can't get better from here.

Many fans are convinced we morphed into a bottom 5 NFL team. Why? Well, I'm not quite sure. But they are convinced.

I actually think this is a much more deserving class than we have seen in awhile. It's a good group.

There's a reason if they don't pick up the option. I'd stay away.

You are what your record says you are. Until they prove it, they are a 7 win team in the midst of a 12 year playoff drought. Thr Dolphins are better than them, and the Dolphins are not as good as the Bills. But they are a lot closer.
