    All year the book on the Chiefs was score more than 20 points and you win the game. The Ravens game ends up being the same script.

     

    The Bills end the season being the ONLY team all year to score more than 20 on the Chiefs and lose the game. Another frustrating end to the season caused solely by our defense. And I see no path to fixing it next year. We're stuck in neutral. ****

     


    Come on now Happy it wasn’t solely in the defense.. special teams helped out a little bit as well. 😅

  2. Brady seems competent, and probably did more than enough to earn an offseason to design the playbook and get a full year to truly own the offense and see what he can do. 
     

    But there’s definitely a part of me that was hoping we’d bring in some fresh blood. Someone with more experience who can further develop Allen as a passer. This feels like more of the same is almost inevitable, but hopefully that ends up not being the case.

    This is the result I wanted!

     

    Now the media can't single in on Josh losing to Mahomes. He put up a better fight with a worse defense than the supposed MVP did with a much healthier supporting cast.


    Sorry Dingus but nothing about this game will stop the media from painting whatever narrative they want to about Josh being inferior to Mahomes. Nothing. 
     

    Until he beats Mahomes in the playoffs and wins a ring, there’s no consolation prize and no one in the mainstream media would care to hand it out to him even if there was.

    Chris jones has been even more important than mahomes this season imo…people don’t seem to care about defense though 😂


    Chris Jones has been the Chiefs MVP the last two years. Legitimately takes over games. 
     

    Mahomes is the face of the wins, but he could barely complete a pass in the 2nd half and it didn’t matter because the combo of Jones and Spags’ scheme is simply overwhelming for a pedestrian QB like Lamar Jackson. Mahomes just has to dink and dunk and wait for the game to end.

    Just like the Patriots in their prime….the Chiefs simply do not make mistakes to beat themselves. THAT is the difference….period! 


    Like fumbling the ball into the end zone for a touchback? 
     

    Fact is the NFL is pretty weak right now. Most teams don’t have even a serviceable QB, let alone a great one. 
     

    Chiefs have the trifecta of top QB, top pass rusher and top coaching. Everybody else is playing catch up to get to that level.

    Not at all unreasonable to rather watch Allen than Purdy/Goff. Especially being Bills fans. But there’s also two other guys still playing that are very electrifying. Mahomes is the best qb in the league and Lamar is considered the most exciting qb by a lot of people. With 2 MVPs and most likely a Superbowl appearance after this weekend many with put him above Allen going into next year. Our boy has got to step up next season. 


    From what I hear, neither QB was all that electrifying and Lamar was downright “pedestrian” or worse. 
     

    I stand by my original statement. Allen spoils us, all other QB’s just aren’t as much fun to watch.

    Watching teams that advanced further than the Bills is ‘settling’ and ‘pedestrian’? That’s a bizarre viewpoint. 


    I’m a very bizarre person. 
     

    But yea, none of those teams have the most electrifying QB in the business. Is it that unreasonable that I’d rather watch Josh Allen than Brock Purdy and Jared Goff 🤷‍♂️

    Outside of 1 (mayyybe 2) WR, I expect this draft to be completely Defense.

     

    We'll need 2 Safeties, 2 DEs, and 2DTs, at least 1 CB, and we've certainly shown we can never have too much LB depth.

     

    There's no other open spots on Offense anyways, even at depth positions.

     

     

     

    For all the crap I give McD, he definitely showed he has evolved in this already. As evidenced by all the action Kincaid saw, and well, this:

     

     

     

    I don't know that this is evidence of a change in mindset, McDermott has always been willing to start a rookie... if they've penciled in to do so from the start.

     

    See: Tre White, Edmunds, Ed Oliver, etc. An anomaly might be Christian Benford, who wasn't drafted to start but did so after beating out a rookie who was: Kaiir Elam.

     

    What McDermott has traditionally resisted is moving a rookie up into a primary playing position after the season starts, unless forced into action by injury. For example not giving Shorter a chance this year, despite the struggles of receivers in front of him on the depth chart who were ineffective all year. And I'm not saying whether that's the right or wrong mindset for a coach to have late in the season, just making the observation that I think he's been consistent with that approach from day one.

    Yes!  All we need is for someone else to give them losses so we can finally get them in the playoffs at our....um, nevermind.

     

     

    Hey just cuz the Bills are too inept to capitalize doesn't mean I don't still want to see that franchise circle the toilet as much as possible.

     

    Whatever hardships they endure, I'll enjoy. 🍻

    Well, I think Diggs himself understands that he can no longer get separation, and adding to that, his once uncanny hand talent is also slipping. 
    Major drop against KC that at one time was simply a given to catch.
     

     

    Yeah, Stef has always seemed to me to be sharper than the average player and if he's at all objective about his own performance he's not blind to his own struggles.

     

    In years past when we were bounced from the playoffs, he had the look of a guy who knew he was the best player on the field but the rest of the team wasn't up to the challenge. This year he's been more subdued, and you have to wonder if he realizes now it's him that's partly holding us back. Got to be tough to swallow.

    that’s absolutely valid and becomes more concerning when you’ve plowed an insane amount of resources into building a DLine that can rotate and still be productive… until it isn’t… in the playoffs..

     

    That might be my biggest and only gripe with McD outside the idiotic and catastrophically rough game management. 
     

    He’s built a good team and can definitely coach a unit to play above their skill sets/capabilities in terms of the secondary. 

     

    Yup. The resources we've put into the defense to be let down in excruciating fashion is honestly just too much to stomach.

     

    Makes me think we need new/difference criteria when evaluating who's a fit. Maybe less process/character types and more emphasis on talent? This defense could use a monster or two...

    Barely beating Skylar Thompson and the Fish.

     

    Beating an injured Steeler team on their 3rd string QB…

     

    The absolute most concerning thing about McDermott is how often we keep teams playing terrible QB's in the game, playoffs or not.

     

    Easton Stick, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, Skylar Thompson, Rudolph, Tyrod, etc. etc.

     

    An elite defensive mind does not repeatedly lose and/or win one score games to these types of players. They dismantle them. They embarrass them.

  14. Something that's been on my mind for a while now is that while Beane has done a fairly good job of cutting losses and getting something for a guy we don't need/want anymore, he hasn't ever really "sold high" on an upper shelf type of player -- the sole exception being the fire sale we had year 1 / 2017 when McD and Beane decided to dump anyone who wasn't buying into their culture immediately. That's fine.

     

    But consider that we might have identified TreMaine Edmunds as someone we weren't going to make the top paid linebacker in the NFL before the '22 season started -- might we have traded him and gotten something back? Instead we spent all off-season monitoring whether we spent ourselves out of a comp pick for the guy.

     

    Consider that Gabe Davis never turned it on last year and moving him prior to this past season for a day 2 pick and signing Hopkins in his place would have had a huge effect on this season -- how many interceptions wouldn't have been thrown? How many big plays might D Hop have made for us? AND we could have possibly had a future pick to help restock moving forward. (maybe I'm overvaluing him going into this season, but I think his big games and big play potential could easily have gotten a rd3 out of someone)

     

    Unfortunately most of our "top shelf" type of talent right now is buried into their contracts with dead money. Diggs and Miller are unmovable, even if a team wanted them. Honestly coming into this off season we might not even have anyone of intrinsically high value -- those "pro bowl snubs" outside of Allen don't look like they were snubbed very much at this point. Might be we just don't have that level of talent some of us thought we did.

     

    But going forward McBeane might benefit from identifying they aren't going to keep a guy and making a move for top value while they can -- it certainly hasn't hurt KC after they did so with Tyreek.
