    I’m sure he puts more pressure on himself than anyone else. Why don’t fans respect him?

     

     

     

    Speaking for myself, I lost respect for him when he failed to take any ownership of the 13 second meltdown.

    Not a comment directed at the Bills but the NFL in general, this why the Chiefs remain competitive. 

     

    HC/QB are in place and they have a budget for every position, regardless of how good they are if they exceed the budget they just trade them.

     

    IDK I think the Chiefs messed this one up. Trading a good CB1 for a 3rd round pick is not good value. They could've let him walk and get a 3rd round comp pick.

    His new/current contract is now right in line with his TE ranking. This re-working basically ensured he'll finish his contract with us. Absolutely no need to cut him or move on. Folks are just stuck in that mindset because they havent gotten over the old deal yet (which really only affected us for 1 season).

     

    What ranking are you using? Based on his receptions and yards from last season he's still really overpaid. We're paying Knox to be a good to great TE1 and he's performing like a low end TE2. When you look at his active and dead cap hit for 2025 and 2026 he's one of the worst TE contracts in the league.

     

    It never made sense to give Knox a big contract and then trade up to draft Kincaid in the 1st. Beane is now doubling down on his mistake by increasing the dead cap from Knox when we inevitably release him after 2025 or 2026.

    You seem to think there's nothing more that Allen could have done in that game, but Buffalo punted on about half their possessions (4 of 9). KC punted on 2 of 11. It's Mahomes that had to be nearly flawless, because his defense was blowing coverages constantly and leaving receivers open by a mile. Plus his kicker missed two easy kicks. 

     

     

    It's not like Butker missed a couple of 30 yard FGs. He missed a PAT and a 50 yard FG at the end of the 1st half (hardly an 'easy' kick).

    Josh is missing two things Mahomes has its patience and accuracy. Mahomes would've no doubt taken that underneath pass to Diggs on 2nd and 9. Mahomes started looking like Brady in these playoffs as he took everything the defense was giving him and that's scary thing to see. 

     

    Coming out of college Mahomes was the best QB I ever scouted and there's no doubt in my mind he would be the same superstar whether he played for the Bills or basically any other team. 

     

    It's not like Mahomes is perfect. He had an open TD to Rice at the end of regulation in the SB but he tunnel visioned on Kelce instead. He had a pretty bad SB until the 4th Q, including an awful INT. 

     

    The big difference is that Mahomes kicker did his job and KC's def did their job to give Mahomes more chances to win the game.

  6. All the cuts were pretty easy to see coming. Can't disagree with any of them.

     

    Don't know if trading Bates for a 5th makes sense after releasing Morse. 

     

    I'm luke warm on Dawkins extension. He's an overall good player, but doesn't seem to take his craft seriously. He's an overweight smack talker that comes up small in big moments. I would've let the contract play out this season and make a decision next year. 

     

    Lewis/Rapp are MEH. If they turn out to be capable starters those are great deals, but at this point in their career why would we think they could be capable starters? They are good depth guy and nothing else. Weird to splurge on depth guys when you are tight against the cap.

    I thought this **** was calculated, and based on a formula or something, where it was a fact we were getting a third round pick. Does anyone ACTUALLY know how this works?

     

    What a dumb system.

     

    It's a formula that the NFL has kept secret, but there's been enough comp picks awarded that people have figured the formula out. 

     

    It's shocking to see a pick not awarded as expected. I can't remember the last time (ever?) this happened

  8. Ok now that the entire incentive package is out I'm good with the deal.

     

    I'll be rooting for him to hit the max since that means a whole lot of sacks and a SB appearance. 

     

    The other option is for him to hit 0 and earn none of them. 

     

    Worst case scenario is he makes it to 8 sacks with all of them coming in garbage time against bad teams.

    I don’t get this at all.  I’d rather draft a guy and take my chances.  Guy had one or two good games, then fell off a cliff. 

     

    There's plenty of cheap UFA's available that are better as well. Puzzling decision to say the least

  10. Feels like Beane kinda bungled this going back to 2022. Should've given a higher rd tender to Bates, but didn't. Then when the Bears offer sheeted him we matched it. We paid a lot for 2 seasons from a backup O-line and now we're eating 4mm deadcap for a depth guy. At least we got a 5th rd pick I guess.

  11. In a hypothetical world, yes, someone could make an offer that would make me want to trade Milano. I think a 1st + is a decent starting point. 

     

    In the real world, who the heck would be willing to trade a 1st + for Milano when he's coming off a major injury ?

     

    He has a 14.8mm active cap hit this coming season and will trigger 25mm in dead cap if we trade him. We would need a huge trade return to make up for the cap hit, not to mention losing a great player.

    What happened to him against KC though? Would’ve been nice to have one of our impact players on defense to step up. 

     

    I know it's lame to complain about the refs, but if that game had been officiated to the standard we saw in the regular season Ed would've drawn at least 3 holding penalties. There was an egregious no call on Floyd too

    A breakup is a breakup maybe they parted ways amicably because things just faded maybe one of them did something wrong, it doesn't matter when a relationship like that ends even if neither side did anything wrong it isn't unusual for one side or the other to feel a certain kind of way about it some times. So it didn't seem that far fetched with how much she probably knows about his private information to get an NDA.

     

    Sure, you normally have 1 if not 2 bitter people after a breakup.

     

    Barring a scandal by Josh (like cheating), what type of private information do you think she has that Josh would be willing to pay millions of dollars to keep quiet ?

    I have no words: 

     

     

     

     

    I love Josh, but this isn't that outlandish. The #1 pick in a draft with a (supposedly) generational QB talent is incredibly valuable. 

     

    Add in their 2025 1st and a roster player of our choice and I'd seriously consider it.

    That sounds gross, but at the same time it is a breakup and she does know a lot of very personal details of his life so I guess it does make sense for it to be a standard practice for NFL players.

     

    Eh, it might make some sense for superstar players with $100+million contracts that did something wrong that caused the breakup. Paying an ex a few million might be better than losing out on potential endorsements.  

     

    There's absolutely no way it's standard practice for NFL players though. 

     

    Wasn't Travis Henry up to 11 kids with 10 women? Imagine if he tried paying for 10 NDA's lol 

  16. For an article that's patting McD on the back for being great at self-evaluation.... there's a stunning lack of self-evaluation actually going on. 

     

    He insisted he trusts his system because he has won more often than any coach in Bills history.

     

    All those wins might have more to do with Josh Allen than it does your system coach...

     

    “Had I not faked that punt, with what I knew going into that situation, it would have been a failure had I not tried,” McDermott said. “I would have gone home that night saying, ‘What would have happened had I faked that punt?’

     

    Why aren't you saying "Maybe I should've left my franchise QB out there to go for it instead of a fake punt to a guy with 0 career touches" ?

     

    McDermott simply doesn’t see any competitive value in being chatty. And he’s still not going to disclose what happened in those 13 Seconds. He iterated he knows what happened, and it was addressed internally.

     

    McD knows what went wrong and 'fixed' it. He refuses to share with the class though...

    Not that I enjoy him going to the competition, but I’m happy for him.  He went through a lot.  Now that he’s been cleared of everything, I’m hopeful he can have a long and fruitful career in the NFL.

     

    I agree with the sentiment. Anywhere BUT the Chiefs though.

     

    Maybe we should go after Tommy Townsend. Revenge of the punters

    He's inconsistent. His deep ball is good and obviously the rushing ability. He struggles with short and middle throwing. I think you get him to a QB guru and he's easily a top 15 QB

     

    The problem is what are you going to do with a top 15 QB that's going to get paid nearly as much a a top 5 guy ? His comparables are guys like Daniel Jones and Derek Carr. Maybe you can make the wildcard while paying a QB like that but you'll never go far

    But you're preaching to the choir, man. KC's defenses have been worse than Buffalo's every year before this one. In both the regular season and postseason. They've allowed 30+ in 5 playoff games and played poorly in several others. As beebe has pointed out, Buffalo's defense has played fine against just about everyone but KC. Allen has the same problem as every other QB in the league. His defense can't shut down KC. Sure, you can talk about the SB in Tampa or the second half vs Cincy a few years ago, but those are outliers.

     

    I see people mention Buffalo's loss to Cincinnati a lot. Do you think Cincinnati's 27 points were the problem, or the 10 pts that the Bills scored? Who are you going to beat in the playoffs with 10 pts? 27 was a pretty average number for that Bengals team. You can't expect to shut down offenses of that caliber, especially in the postseason. 

     

    Let me ask you this...prior to this year, how do you think KC's defenses would have fared against their offenses in the playoffs? If there were a way to prove it, I'd bet you any amount you wanted that they'd fare worse than Buffalo has. 

     

     

    I'd say the Bills/Bengals game was a lot like the Chiefs/Bucs game. Bills and Chiefs both came out flat and got dominated at the LOS. The QB did what they could, but the rest of the team was atrocious (offense and defense). 

     

    Chiefs allowed 31 points to the Texans in a playoff win. However, 7 of those points came on a blocked punt and another 7 came on a 6 yard drive after a muffed punt. You guys forced 4 turnover on downs, 1 fumble, and 3 punts. Despite the 31 points this was a significantly better DEF performance than the 27 points allowed by the Bills vs Bengals (or the most recent Chiefs game). 

     

    Even the Chiefs D performance against the Eagles is better than any Bills loss. 2 forced punts and a turnover that the DEF returned for a TD.

    Hey, you said it, not me. I think Allen will get at least one along the way. S'all good, man!

     

     

    Well, let's see, as a KC fan....Allen was really inaccurate his first couple years....plus, I've learned on this board that he needs an elite defense across the board and elite offensive talent at every position to get it done, so by the board's logic that number would have to be closer to 0?

     

    Well now you just sound like a bitter Bills fan masquerading as a Chiefs fan lol. 

     

    I don't think any Bills fan with 2 brain cells to rub together (admittedly a high bar) thinks we need an elite defense across the board. We just need one that doesn't get torched in the playoffs. 

     

    Imagine if Mahomes had to deal with his defense playing like KC did against the Patriots in the AFCCG every single season. KC DEF forced 2 turnovers, a turnover on downs, and 2 punts against the Pats. That's arguably a BETTER defensive performance than any of the last 4 playoff losses by the Bills.

    The Bucs season we're talking about was in 2020. From Wiki:

     

    The Buccaneers defense, somewhat maligned over the previous several seasons, improved in several categories. In total yards allowed, they improved from 15th in the league the previous season to 6th. In 2017 they had ranked last. In passing yards allowed, they improved from 30th in 2019 to 21st. In total points allowed, they improved from 29th in 2019 to 8th. They also flipped the turnover margin from –13 in 2019 to +8 in 2020.[10]

    Several franchise records were set during the regular season. Tom Brady threw a Buccaneers record 40 touchdown passes, while Mike Evans had a record 13 receiving touchdowns. Evans became the first wide receiver in NFL history with 1,000+ yards receiving in each of his first seven seasons. Brady posted the best season passer rating (102.2) in team history, and also tallied the most games with four or more touchdown passes (4). The team set a new high for most points scored (492) and most total touchdowns (59).

     

    Their success was mostly due to Brady and the offense. Without Brady being an absolute clutch QB, they don’t win that Lombardi trophy.

     

    Did you even watch the Bucs in the playoffs for their superbowl run?

     

    Brady was mediocre and did not have to be clutch in any of the games.
