Reid learned about winning in the playoffs from all his experience...much of which was losing. I think McD is learning. It would have been interesting to see how things would have played out had the injury bug not hurt the Bills so much. I agree. The roster needs to get a lot younger and fresher.

I would have been surprised if KC had gone for two if they scored a TD. It was Jones who spoke about it so he may have meant getting the second possession if SF scored a TD. The point is KC players were aware and prepared in contrast to SF.

I hope someone in the NFC offers him big bucks.

The 49er players weren't even aware of the OT rules. They talked about it in their pressers. By contrast, KC's plan was if they scored a TD they would go for two. KC was prepared for all situations.

Bills have 58 players under contract. The Chiefs 43...not including Jones and Snead. Yes...the Bills are in worse shape but the Chiefs don't have a boatload of cash.

Reid.

That's what I'm asking. What moves would you make along those lines? Likely they'll restructure Josh. Who else would you restructure? Who would you cut? I'm trying to garner thoughts so we can move on from the Book of Lamentations.

Copilot is Microsoft's AI tool for searching the internet etc.

They won. It's over. 31 teams and fan bases are unhappy. 49er fans are calling for Shanahan to be fired. (One referred to him as their version of Marv Levy. Ouch!) I won't be watching any replays. I won't tune into the NFL network until it's time for the Combine. It's time to stop lamenting and move on to next season.

Okay. The SB is over. The Chiefs won...again. It's ground hog day. I suggest we stop torturing ourselves with what could have been in 2023. So let's discuss where the Bills team goes moving forward. We know the GM we know the coaching staff. We know many of the players. We know we'll have 10 draft picks. So...realistically...what players do we restructure? What players do we re-sign? What players do we extend? What players do we cut ties with? What free agents would you like to see the Bills sign knowing we won't be able to afford top line FAs? Deal with the knowns. This is not a thread for wishful thinking (regarding coaches etc). We are moving forward.

That's because Kelce was so wide open the ball was gone before any D line could get to him.

Shanahan was the reason I had little faith in SF.

Spags is the one making the real difference. At least he did this year.

No he doesn't. But Brady might.

I'm sick of Mahomes talking about adversity! Penalties and dropped passes aren't adversity! Losing starting and backup players is adversity. Having a player die on the field is adversity.

He's not cursed. He's stupid!

Shanahan...run the ball! Haven't you learned?

Yes all teams battle the injury bug but not to the same extent. It's one thing to play backups here and there but when you are down to 3rd and 4th string players playing multiple positions on one side of the ball that tilts the scales to the team not having to do that. Beane thought he had good depth. That depth was exhausted this year.

That wasn't McD's decision. Allen saw the opportunity for a TD and took it. The play was there if Dawkins doesn't get pushed into Allen as he threw. That D was a sieve because we were missing key starters. So...likely KC would have moved the football with too much time left on the clock. They would have needed a TD though, and anything could happen. Look at Poyer's play at the goal line.

I have no faith in Shanahan. He has blown two Superbowls by getting away with what got them leads in the 4th quarter. I'm afraid he's going to do it again.

According to the Buffalo News, Butler was let go as part of the defensive coaching shake up. Kamren Kinchens, S?

I don't agree with this in full. I do agree that a QBs success...no matter the talent...is dependent on adjutant circumstances like surrounding cast and coach. They may be successful at winning games due to their talent, but consistently getting to the playoffs and winning needs that coach and supporting cast as well. Tom Brady won a SB with TB but it was largely the TB defense that carried the day and Tom benefited from the offensive mind of Bruce Arians.

I saw a proposal in Bleacher Report with the Giants. Giants get Diggs and a 2024 6th and Bills get DT Dexter Lawrence and a 2024 2nd and 2024 5th. As much as I love Diggs, I'd do that deal in a heartbeat!

Good for them!

I also believe a QBs success is dependent on his coach. If Mahomes isn't with Reid, he'll still play like Mahomes, but would he have had such early playoff success? Look at Stafford. He languishes in Detroit, but wins a SB under McVay.
