I understand they mean something different (playoffs vs regular season). But in terms of play on the field and coming down to the last minute/ play here play there they are in The same zip code not worlds apart.
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.

What did Mahomes do that made him the best? He played ok tonight. Threw a pick and had 1 touchdown gifted on a special teams blunder by the 49ers, and another easy pass on a wide open 3yrd play. He took sacks, made terrible throw aways, had 2 intentional grounding ( only 1 called). His defense and special teams carried his team tonight.
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.

The Bills had the Chiefs on the ropes when we had an absolutely shredded defense from injuries.
The Bills defense, barring catastrophic injuries, will be much better next season.
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.

Hester belongs nowhere near the HOF unless he buys a ticket.
I also couldn't believe McMichael made it. I'm in the Chicago area & saw his whole career. I loved the guy as a player, but I never would've said he's a HOFer. I'd argue that Kyle Williams was a better DT, & he won't get a sniff from the voters.
This is like when Harold Baines made the baseball HOF, it opens the door for a bunch of "pretty good" HOFers in the coming years.
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.

Lamar and Dak are just going to continue to garner praise from these MVP panel voters based on the fact that they truely do not understand what MVP means.
Lamar did not carry his team this year. End of story their Defense did. Lamar is the most over rated QB of all time. He will never win his team a SB.
Dak was a shell of himself when he was on the road. When he was at home they were putting up crazy offense stats all year.
His team was over rated and played like crap against .500 or higher win percentage teams.
Of all the players that were over looked, Josh and McCaffrey should have been the two finalist.
But until Josh stops laying eggs against teams they need and should beat. He will never win a MVP. His losses this year were not all on him but the Jets, Broncos & Patriots games were damn ugly for sure.
I will add I do often wonder if Buffalo being a smaller market plays into this.

The same could be said of the Ravens.
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

What I find interesting is that 24 out of the 50 voters left Josh entirely off their ballot. In what world does he not deserve at least a top 5 vote for this 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

II disagree with that also. The long established networks like CBS, ABC, and NBC and Fox generate HUGE amounts of revenue from advertisers. Also, they use viewership from football games to promote their own primetime shows, which in turn generate more advertising revenue. I don’t see that ever going away.
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.

Completely disagree. As long as there’s a market for the product, there will be an outlet for it Demand will determine pricing and the provider will always charge the maximum amount that will yield the maximum profit.
With all due respect, I have no idea what you just said
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.

so which game will be exclusive to this new service next season?
We got off easy with Peacock, which cost next to nothing for 1 game. Not so much this time around.
The Fox game of the week at 4 on Sunday is probably a good one.

you are very passionate about this.
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.

No pricing or specifics have been released and most of you are bitching about it, planning boycotts, or burning your TVs. Gotta love TBD's brand of aggressive stupidity.

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.

Innovation = "We want more of your money."
They didn't say how much the service will be, but I know exactly how much it'll be to me. $0.
In a few years you won't be able to watch Bills games.

I've said this is the past.
Everyone was so proud to 'cut the cord', thinking they were sticking it to the man. I predicted that it will only be a matter of time until the streaming services have everyone in their grasp at which time they'll have the leverage to stick it right back to the customer. They're not there quite yet, but getting closer all the time.
Oh, it's so nice to pay $4.99 monthly for Hulu, or Peacock or Paramount. Sure....How long before the monthly fee mirrors the Netflix model, which started out at around 7.99? Now that they have everyone hooked, it's doubled for the same service.
Those monthly smart TV app services will shoot up to $9.99/month, UNLESS, for the bargain price you want to purchase it for a full year for the low low price of only $79.99. Of course, you'll need about 4 different services to get all the content you want. Suddenly, you realize you're paying more than you ever did with cable.
You'll be longing for the good old days of Directv, cable, and the NFL Sunday Ticket on Directv.
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.

This is how these broadcast networks are ditching the middle man, the cable companies. But the consumers price won’t go down.
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.

By subscribing to this focused, all-in-one premier sports service, fans would have access to the linear sports networks including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV, as well as ESPN+.
Looks it's just the beginning of sports heading to streaming only. This is being launched in fall 2024, in time for the new NFL season

Bills chasm between Regular Season Success and Playoff Failure-Are there Football Strategy Problems?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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.
