IMO it will help. They still miss those playmakers like Jones on KC. As group the Bills defense is really good but lack that stuff defensive lineman and those corners like KC has.

They are close, the difference between the Bills and the Chiefs is one team plays to win and the other plays not to lose. The 49ers played not to lose last night and it's why they lost.

When I game was on the line and they needed a TD to win, he did was great QBs do. Drove them down the field to win.

I would bet the Chiefs offense will be much better next season too. The difference between the Bills and the Chiefs play to win and take chances. Like I said in the Superbowl thread. The difference in the game was KC played to win, where as San Fran played not to lose.

My take away from these playoffs and Super Bowl is that KC plays to win for the most part. The 49ers played not to lose when they had the lead, on offense and defense. That KC defense knew when to dial it up when they needed a stop. KCs offense played for the TD in OT. Watching them you knew they weren't playing for the tie.

McMichael is a two sport athlete and member of the 4 horsemen

Where is the love for McMichael? A two sport athlete.

What's more impressive is a former WCW and 4 horseman got inducted.

To me the biggest difference is the Bills outside of Allen don't have that next level of play that the playoff teams have. Coaching is big part of it too. The way the Bills defense and offense plays works well in the regular season due to playing against mostly average teams. When they play the best teams, they don't do well.

I will add I do often wonder if Buffalo being a smaller market plays into this.

The Ravens aren't hyped up going into each season. They weren't in the Super Bowl contender discussion at the beginning of the season

The world where the media doesn't view the Bills as the loveable losers anymore. The Media loves winners. While the Bills are great in the regular season they never get there at the end. IMO the national media is tired of hyping the Bills when they can't finish the job.

I was talking about Bills games continuing to be free on TV

I do. I see them heading over to streaming eventually. They did generate huge revenue from advertisers. ABC was down in advertising revenue this past quarter.

This is really than when cable started to get big. All that's happening is home entertainment is changing

What I meant was dinner n a few years you won't be able to watch Bills games for free over the air. Meaning those who don't want to pay for it will lose out.

The Fox game of the week at 4 on Sunday is probably a good one.

I am cause I'm excited for it. Access to the majority of sports in one for one cost. The price doesn't bother me as I don't pay for any other subscriptions. We just use the free ones.

https://www.wsj.com/business/media/espn-fox-warner-bros-sports-streaming-service-f2bf96c9?mod=RSSMSN Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall projected, based on various assumptions, that the service could break even if around six million subscribers paid $40 a month. Other media insiders and analysts said the cost would likely have to be in the $50 range or higher. I can't see it being any cheaper than that unless they add in an ad tier.

In a few years you won't be able to watch Bills games.

This new on will start at $40 to $50 a month.

an analysis of this new sports platform this morning had two key tidbits: Without cbs and nbc…they don’t have a dominant position They will have to changed MINIMUM $45-$50 a month to start to break even Either you will have to pay $45-$50 a month or there will be an ad level that's half of the price. In the beginning of streaming, it was much cheaper than cable and you could watch what you want when you want.

You had to know this was going to happen. They have to replace that cable revenue from somewhere. I for one love they heading towards a more streaming based world. I haven't had cable or satellite in years. Streaming is much more convenient.

I can see starting the next NFL season some 4pm games that are fox only available on the streaming app. As well as some Monday Night football games. Got get people buying this to watch sports.
