He did a good job in the 2nd half. The first they struggled again. They seem to do a lot this season. The defense is no better. It's like the coaching staff waits til they are down multiple scores to realize what they planned on doing for the game isn't working.

I get it. You think he's wrong cause the Bills won. He didn't say the Bills are a bad team carried by the best QB in the league. The Bills are good team that lack playnakers. They have Cook and Allen. The rest are average to good players. They don't have an elite pass rusher, elite WR or an elite secondary like most top teams do. What he said isn't wrong.

The difference is also their QB has improved a lot since last season.

I'm talking about playnakers on both sides of the ball BUD. The Bills don't have it on defense.

The best roster doesn't always win. The ones with the most elite playnakers do for the most part. A team with a top QB an elite RB and an average defense rarely wins

It's not a bad roster by no means. It does lack elite playnakers that most Super Bowl champions have. Look at the majority of Super Bowl winners. They have a few playnakers on both sides of the ball. The Bills roster build with a lot of depth works in the regular season. In the playoffs were most teams are close talent wise, the elite playnakers make the difference in winning and losing.

A playoff run maybe but not a Super Bowl. That's the goal. IMO with no AFC team that stands out, the Super Bowl will be a similar result to last season where the NFC team blows out the AFC team. Winning the turnover battle requires luck. Look at last season compared to this season.

I disagree. If that move gets to a Super Bowl championship, than it's all worth it. I don't care if in 2-3 years the team sucks and back to the drought era. Look at the Eagles, in 3 seasons from now they are going to be a bad football team due to all the big void contracts in 2028 and beyond. They won a Super Bowl so it was worth it.

I would add, also making talent the focus rather than culture or scheme fit.

For the defense it heavily relies on turnovers. Yesterday was one of the few times this season they got timely ones.

Sure that have fallen but they have won 3 Super Bowls in that era while the Bills have won 0. I would trade places any day for that.

My biggest takeaway from the game is the snow is supposed to be an advantage for the Bills. For most of the game it looked the Bengals did better in the snow than the Bills did.

Even if the Chiefs miss the playoffs, I would trade their 3 Super Bowl wins over what the Bills have done in the same time.

IMO they didn't really adjust that much. The Bengals were still moving the ball on the defense in the 2nd half. The difference was 2 INTs, which was a lot like last season went. The Bills defense has always been built on bend don't break and hope to get some turnovers.

Even during those drives, if Allen doesn't scramble to find an open receiver they don't get those opportunities. Look how easy the Bengals moved the ball on offense due to having elite weapons.
