Depth for both lines, impact FA edge guy (raid a team like the Saints who need cap help and likely won’t compete this year) and honestly, draft impact help at LB…someone more in the Keuchly mold to develop than Edmunds after his 5th yr is done…can we make some RB’s finally pay against us, given the old school trends shown by some of our AFC competition this year?

Fellow Pirates fans here. Someday we need to see the 30 for 30 on the ineptitude of that franchise in an otherwise championship committed city…with a drought pre-McCutchen years that beats the Bills, which is saying something.

Am totally ok with this. Next time roll out the red carpet Pro Bowl! No alternate nonsense for us.

I’d also be curious about comparing the relative coaching turnover between them then? Any coordinator changes over that stretch which helped or hurt in getting over the NE hump or were they fairly consistent?

It was a fair article overall imho. Good on you Jerry.

The arrogance of his arm needs to be protected at all costs!

No doubt Allen would’ve sacked Mahomie on the last drive in OT if he’d been allowed to play D. I’m only partially kidding. 🤔

True story. In point of fact, Marino NEVER beat a Kelly-led Bills team in the playoffs, even in Miami, so there’s that… Same is true for Elway, fwiw!

IIRC, Brady did the same thing to Mahomes when the Pats scored on the first OT possession in 2018…glad he’s passing it forward to Allen at least.

I hear you. But take Ed Oliver as an example of a guy needing into his 3rd year before really starting to find his groove and materially impact a game—AJ may be no different. That said, I definitely agree we should be pursuing a marquee FA to boost the unit while the young guys develop…

If Mike McCarthy can win a super bowl with his own playoff coaching “skillset,” then we are not lost.

At least your columns never disappoint OP! Strike the perfect notes per usual…thank you!

C’mon, is that really necessary when all of us are processing/working through this most historic of all losses in our own ways? Just be kind to fellow Bills brethren today of all days.

Peter King has similar sentiments about Josh playing out of his mind, and the need for OT changes… https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/24/nfl-divisional-playoffs-weekend-fmia-peter-king/ “5. I think I would just say this to anyone who is fine with the NFL overtime rule: No matter how good your defense is, if you win the toss at the start of overtime, are you going to choose to kick off? No. Only in exceedingly rare cases—like, if your quarterback is Spergon Wynn and your defense is the ’85 Bears—would you ever choose to kick off to start OT. That is the definition of the coin flip having too much bearing on the outcome of games. 6. I think the best player of the playoff weekend, and this is no slight to Patrick Mahomes, was Josh Allen. Amazing football player. Tremendous thrower, obviously, and a runner who chooses when to be physical and when to run out of bounds.“

We have a new nephew in law in my family who’s as big a Chefs fan as I’m a Bills fan (strike that—not possible), anyway, he tactfully has refrained from texting me during or after this game, and for that I am most appreciative. Maybe he’s a keeper after all? 🤔

PFT is on board, nice essay laying out the fundamental inequity of this current version: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/23/overtime-rule-undermines-nfls-best-weekend-ever/

Same thought here—I was one of the pump the brakes guys on Allen in terms of JK still being the best we ever had—but tonight sealed the deal for me. I watched Jim play some lights out ball, but Allen is on another level—by the time he’s done, I have little doubt he’ll have left most QB’s of all time in his wake.

Kook Aid regular reporting for duty.

Same—but this one was just too much for me to grapple with /process alone…really need the TBD community after something this heart wrenching.

It is eerie how the timelines mirror each other a bit—that would be pretty cool if we dominate for the next umpteen years, but it will require slaying the chiefs dragon at home in the playoffs—no more sleepwalking halfway through the regular season!

I’ll buy that. But we need to snag home field throughout playoffs from hereon out.

Back to the drawing board on D (& DC). Our O? Superb.

You’re not wrong. After these playoffs, I’ll second that. Our D was shameful.

Josh deserved the W.
