We have no rushing game, great thread. Completely agree. Is it Daboll or just the backs? Maybe it's the backs because if they were better then Daboll would trust them more? Who knows, but you can't be this unbalanced. Chiefs beat us with the run when needed both games this year. We beat nobody with the run, all games this year. Am I reading correctly that Kenyan Drake will be a free agent? Give me him over anybody if that's the case

I agree with the past comment but speed could be an easy thing to fix in one offseason. Tyreek Hill was an obvious talent but a risky one that still went in the 5th round primarily as a return specialist. If you focus on speed and hit on the draft just like KC did with Hill, then you're right there.

I think this should be edited to *on defense, personally. I hope we add running back but our offense is solid. Our defense, despite a lot of recent high draft picks, just did not produce a defensive tone setter all year. Our D just seems very passive and reactive at times. Frank Clark, Chris Jones, Sneed, were forces that impacted the game multiple times today. We clearly don't have that right now. So I agree fully with Clowney or any other big time defender that we could add to the mix.

I honestly don't think we have a very good defense, and a few of the consistent players are only getting older. It was an issue earlier in the year as well, but then good coaching, Milano getting healthy, and AJ Klein making everybody eat crow for a little bit started to change opinions. We're simply short on very good players. We keep drafting them and hoping, but all of them with the exception of Tre White, have gone on to be completely average, and Tre doesn't rush the QB. Oliver-Harry Phillips-Epenesa-Edmunds were all disappointing. I'm kind of hoping for a bit of defensive overhaul the more I think about it. But keep Jerry Hughes. Always keep Jerry Hughes. He played better than anybody on the defensive line this year and it was great to see.

Allen, 100%. I expected Diggs to be good, but I did not expect the prime Antonio Brown like 127-1535-8 statline and impact. That's incredible. 166 targets??! I'm already excited for the Allen/Diggs connection next year. I thought our backs would be better. I thought Tremaine Edmunds would be better. I expected more sacks with Addison, Oliver maturing, Epenesa. Feels like both the Oliver and Epenesa picks are still up in the air. I don't believe Epenesa was picked as a long-term project so it would have been nice if either could have made more of a statement this season.

Saying this from a Denver-based perspective - Bills Mafia would love Phillip Lindsay after about the first 5 minutes of his first camp practice. Ran a 4.39 40 and I imagine just about any Bronco is available right now. Has the speed that this team needs and is a total hardworking McBeane process guy. Been in Singletary's corner all year, but it's just not working out. He has his moments but he's never going to get 20 carries and this team clearly needs some more speed at RB. Singletary kind of feels like a giant incomplete rather than a failure to me, but I think it's clear that you need to do something next year, he can't be anything more than a depth back.

I don't think you necessarily need to drop big coin, since there really isn't even a big coin market for RBs that aren't Derrick Henry anyway. I don't think we need a top-3 back, but I think we may need to admit that the Singletary/Moss combo can be improved and at least make it a priority in the 2nd-3rd round, or get a vet that's worth that type of return (and I really have no idea who that would be at the moment. Definitely not Melvin Gordon) Ohh actually that reminded me - go get Phillip Lindsay. I want a guy like that to add to the stable. A good step or two faster than anybody we have now.

Remember Brian Brohm? How about heading into games with Alex Van Pelt starting? All things considered, this is a great time to be a Bills fan. Don't let any of the immediate, emotional chatter get to you - Josh Allen is a franchise QB, and that's about the best advantage to have in any sport. We'll be back next year.

I actually think RB was the most obvious issue on this otherwise amazing offense. So Moss comes back. That's it? We're all cool with Zack Moss being the lead back? I don't know if I saw nearly enough of him this year to think he'll be anything more than a nice depth guy.

Running game is a serious issue. Are we sure that it's the personnel and not Daboll, though? I'm definitely open to the idea that neither Moss or Singletary are all that good, or rather may just be complementary backs, but are we sure that if we got a Nick Chubb that Daboll would actually treat him like Nick Chubb? Either way we need another back, it can't just be these three.

Diggs and Allen kind of looked like that at times against other teams this year. There were multiple games where Diggs was practically mocking the opposing secondary. But I get your point, it’s the best offensive trifecta in the league. I still don’t totally trust Hill though. In addition to beating all members of his family apparently, he just has that mean nervous energy about him. He flipped out on a coach last week but it was apparently all good or whatever, and he just kind of looks like he has a screw loose after some plays, including today. Not rooting for the guy to be the next AB but I don’t know if I trust him to be a contributor for years to come.

No killer instinct...despite first playoff appearance in years, now first AFC championship in years... Yeah maybe we should just cut our losses, and I don’t know, give Josh McDaniels or somebody a ring. Board is going to be madness this week.

To be fair he doesn’t have anything like Kelce, or a RB on this team that’s nearly as good as KC’s top 3 backs. Funny, I’ve heard that running backs are a “dime a dozen” for years now. Apparently we didn’t have an extra dime?

Lol no I will not ever root for Brady under any condition. These Chiefs could each take running Lou Kang style jump kicks at Josh these last two minutes and I’d still root for them over Brady regardless of how dirty they get, c’mon now.

Yeah, I totally remember all of those seasons that Bert Jones put up 4,000+ and 50 total TDS... A truly awful, awful comparison. Get the horrible takes out now I guess, Bills fans.

"Doing a little Lamar Jackson imitation there" I didn't catch that the first time and almost just tossed my computer out the window on playback. When will they learn?

Decade old random Bills sweatshirt and probably some nacho cheese business on my chest by kickoff. LFG

It's not the end, our QB is just better. Ravens got some great things going, they just need more options at WR. Brown is kind of a bust and Willie Snead is, well pesky and pretty awesome considering his situation but he's still just Willie Snead. They've got a great D-line, decent O-line, great backfield, A+ TE in 25 year old Mark Andrews. They need a Diggs and Beasley now, basically. Bills beat a good team tonight. The Ravens should be bugging us for years to come.

His head absolutely pops off the ground. Surprised people are even arguing this. Hope Lamar's alright, those quick, unprotected knocks to the noggin are the scary ones. A hero like Josh needs heels like Lamar and Baker, let's hope they all stay healthy.

I honestly did a double-take when I saw Murphy out there it had been so long. He deserves a ton of credit. Great game, Trent.

Watching replays and he just bullrushed and abused two different lineman before tossing Lamar down pretty aggressively in front of their face on one of the sacks. So quick. Hughes is a beast.

It was only ten minutes ago but this is already an underrated post.

Legend! Hughes probably played the best game of any Bill tonight. This dude played with Kyle Williams and Fred Jackson, you got to love it. Jerry truly deserves it more than anybody

They bring in an independent concussion specialist per protocol I believe, so unless Jackson was melting down like a scared child I think he's legitimately banged up. I thought he actually did kind of a weird wobble thing running into the locker room in the footage they showed. Kind of angry, erratic "nah man let me play" thing that you see a lot with concussions.
