Mahomes has been paid $136M in 7 years. That is only $23M more than Allen at this point and one year longer. After year 7 Allen will be close to $150M and pass the cash Mahomes has received through 7 years.

That is a restructure, not a new deal. Allen did a restructure last year as well and will be doing it again this year.

Mahomes had his rookie deal and his new deal. Just like Josh.

Hopefully a 3 year extension pushing money out a few years. Anything longer and I don’t like paying 33 year old corners $10+ million.

Sadly cannot go back in time. But Imagine we had no Miller contract right now and were ready to spend that money on J Allen, D Hunter, B Burns, C Jones, etc

We need help at WR and DL. All depends what happens in FA and how the draft falls. If all equal I think you go WR. Winning without enough targets is harder than winning with holes on D.

Josh will get hurt week 5 with the Bills 4-0 and miss the year. Despite drafting defense heavy and spending $ on D in free agency the Bills will still score 28 points per game with Tyrod Taylor at QB but give up over 30 and go 4-13. McD keeps his job and fires Smiley because special teams cost them .8 yards in field position per game.

The Chiefs consistently do what the Bills dont. They dont fold under pressure. The moment is never too big. On multiple occasions now we have seen the Bills lose in big games when they should win (13 seconds and this year) along with many late game collapses this year in regular season games.

Football powerhouse. Most people talk about William & Mary like they do Alabama, Georgia, Michigan...

Reid doesn’t waste time outs or do many stupid things. He adjusts and confuses other teams. The Bills win because Allen goes superhero alien mode and makes up for a lot of dumb coaching decisions.

Special teams played a big role tonight. Who is our new special teams coach? Oh yeah, the obvious never happened.

Purdy got the weak horse collar. Nice if Allen gets those. Mahomes on the grounding. We never got that call vs them.

Kc looked like bills early on. Tons of balls behind the line etc. now starting to open it up.

Wondering the same. The guy blocked the defender going for the ball.

Niners playbook is how you scheme guys open. Look at the spacing they create. Crossing routes, different levels, rarely multiple guys in same space. Maybe we can borrow a few things.

May possibly include the passing game coordinator title.

Kamara yards per rec were on the low end of RB's. Most guys with similar targets are in the 8 yards per range while Kamara was 6 yards per. Cook had the same yardage on 30 less receptions. Sounds like we are going to even more behind the LOS and really short passes...

Interesting stat. There were 17 changes in Off/Def Coordinators not due to a change in head coach. Of the 17 only 5 were internal hires. Buffalo was 2 of those 5. So excluding the Bills only 3 of 15 were internal. Internal Hires: BUFx2, CIN, LAR, BAL External Hires: PHIx2, CHIx2, PIT, TB, GB, MIA, NO, CLE, NYG, JAC

Well luckily my latest mock on profootballnetwork addressed these needs. 28. Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU 60. Bralen Trice EDGE Washington 99. Braden Fiske DT Florida State 128. Tanor Bortolini OC Wisconsin 158. Luke McCaffrey WR Rice 161. Demani Richardson S Texas A&M 197. Josh Proctor S Ohio State 201. Marist Liufau LB Notre Dame 205. Jha'Quan Jackson WR Tulane 245. Jase McClellan RB Alabama

Along with a lot of the coaching discussion. We see a lot of these issues yet no forced changed to coaching staffs. A lot of these issues in my opinion are lack of repetition and preparedness. That at least partially falls on our coaches. Our RB coach has been here since 2017 and I wonder have our RB's grown under his watch? Singletary. Moss, and now Cook I would argue have not shown a town of growth in most parts of their game. Cook and his fumbles and drops are up compared to college. Cook still is not fully trusted to run block or many times be the receiving back. Just one example.

That is the thing. There is always some excuse to explain it away. Like the Bills are the only team dealing with something. Every team has injuries and has to adjust. Some of the Bills ST play this year was just inexcusable. No idea why that guy has a job...hopefully they are planning on a change just waiting for the dust to settle. I hear you. I guess I get annoyed by excuses and inconsistent messages. We are promoting Babich because look how great his players have performed. But we are not firing Smiley because he is a good coach but his players did not perform. Meanwhile many of the ST players were ones also coached by Babich. I dont need some massive blow up. But many teams around the league get better by adding talent to the coaching staff yet we already have the best staff top to bottom so dont need any help.

We consistently hear about execution being the reason for the Bills losses and primary theme to playoff exits. The close games are discussed as a supporting narrative to McD success. A lot of these games had time out blunders, penalties, dropped passes, poor play-calling, etc. At what point is responsibility taken for mistakes in most of the close losses and playoff failures? That does not mean McD needs to be fired but at some point some new blood should be brought on the coaching staff. They blame lack of execution but then promote position coaches who coached those players that resulted in lack of execution. Coaches get credit for players that play well. But when that is not the case its all on the player. Cook fumbles and he is benched for a half. There is a consistent trend of blame that seems to occur all too often. Then whether it be from the Bills themselves or the folks that work for the Bills via WGR talking the story always changes. Is it too much to ask to bring in someone from the outside that has an eye for detail which is lacking on this staff. It just feels like settling for getting close which leads to complacency and the inability to get over the hump. Special Teams - Matt Smiley still has a job because the issue was not coaching buy execution. So the players fault not the coaches. Dorsey Fired - Early on, not Dorsey's fault. No matter how much people complained the narrative was "you want to fire the guy that has one of the top offenses in the league? Are you crazy?" The plays are clearly there it is the players are not executing (penalties, dropped passes, turnovers, etc). Then he is fired and it was an issue with the job he was doing all along. Brady is clearly better. Babich Hired - The main justification I have seen is how well safeties and linebackers performed when he was the position coach. So the coach gets the credit in this case for good performance. But players not doing well in other cases is all execution and not the coaches fault. Josh and the "low positive" thing - Initially sold as a positive. Josh needs to settle down. That is why we are giving him easy throws early on etc. Now the narrative post Dorsey is we need to let Josh be Josh and that is what Brady does. Ok so which is it, let Josh go superman or we need to settle him down.

13 seconds is embarrassing. Nothing like that may ever happen again in football. Complete failure and incompetence in a playoff game.

Positive vibes only. The players have said reading these boards and all the negativity has caused them to lose confidence come playoff time hence the early exits.
