Man with No Name

how much autonomy does frazier have on those d calls? do the players really love and respond to him? if not, he needs to be fired just to send a message that they are doing something to try to fix what happened. if the players really do rally around him, there is nothing you can do. but hard to believe there are no ramifications to a screw up as bad as we had last night. somebodies head should roll, but I kind of feel like it won't happen. our corners covered well down the field for most of the game. the end of the game came down to scheming. and not sure what the issue is that caused the chiefs to get so many yards after catch on the short throws throughout the game. that feels more like scheme than players also.

if the bills don't win in the next 5 years, very good chance allen walks away. McDermott might just be one of those guys who is great for rebuilding something that is broken, but just doesn't have that thing it takes to finish the job. hope he learns from this. I do think he has shown the ability to change his stripes before. a huge part of this is on mcD. but a huge part of this is having the terrible luck to be peaking at the same time that a generational, league changing team is in the same conference as them.

i am not surprised by it. just don't understand it. i almost lost it on a good friend after the music city miracle. you don't even have to be empathetic. just use common sense and stay away. it used to be something that only happened in sports. of course, now it comes with politics as well.

so classless. guys like that really do deserve a punch to the face. i will never understand what makes people think that is anywhere near appropriate. coming at people when they are in a highly emotional state just shows a complete lack of awareness and humanness.

if fans weren't passionate, these guys wouldn't make anywhere near the money they do. they can either grow thick skin or learn to ignore it.

speed is good. we have a little bit of it. but there is only one Tyreek Hill. I did comment multiple times though how the chiefs have this ability to scheme short passes that gain huge yards after catch. is it andy reid, or do they have multiple guys who are just faster than everybody else? the bills seem to get 1 or 2 yards every time they go to those short passes to flats.

i haven't always been like this. probably been a few years now though. i used to love watching manning. the last couple years though, ive just come to figure out that the other games don't really matter. everything up until december almost literally doesn't matter. it's a game of momentum. just feels like a waste of time to keep up with other teams until very close to the end. and now the bills are gone, and i don't need to stick around to root against brady or the pats. feels kind of good.

am i the only person who only cares about the bills? i watched 18 minutes of the bucs rams today, and it is the most football outside of bills games that ive watched this season. combined. i might watch the sb if there is a fun party to go to. that's it.

what else is their to talk about. people need to get it off their chests. what happened is extreme. so posters are acting in extreme ways. the frustration is real and it is called for

yup. those calls with josh and the other wasted plays because we decided to get cute when we were in 4 down territory were my biggest gripe until the end of the game made me pretty much forgive those errors. daboll is okay enough. that's it. just okay. i won't be sad or worried when/if he goes.

if they want to fair catch the ball on the 20 or 15, I'll take it!!

this is too funny. i just googled to see if any teams have game management assistants. i thought i had read something like this in the past. turns out that as of 2020 the bills are one of two teams that do have one! now there's a guy that is overpaid!!!

i agree with this. im just commenting on how to improve personnel wise moving forward.

our offense seems good enough right now. they are not the reason we lost. defense has the issue where we can shut teams down but give up a lot of really big plays. im not sure what the biggest culprit is there. hard to be mad at them for what the chiefs did. they have done it to everybody for 4 years. but they are not the only ones to do it to us.

the hardest part is not our needs. it is that KC is not going anywhere. we matched every move they had tonight, but they got the ball last. hopefully hill ages out of being the most dangerous non-quarterback player on the field very soon. he is the biggest difference maker, imo

good call on marino. i know it helps to be optimistic, but there is a very real chance that we blew the best shot we will ever have at the SB this year. this one hurts really, really bad

josh allen is a once in a lifetime qb, but winning a SB is guaranteed to nobody. BUT, if they are ever to replace McDermott, they better have a really darn good plan. look to matt stafford to see how easily a really good qb's career can be almost completely wasted.

we do know that both Brady and Manning have a TON of 4th qtr comebacks (top 2 of all-time according to pro-football-reference) and game winning drives, which would typically be 1 score wins. i guess that jives with "overperforming"

I can't find much, but here's an interesting article showing how teams with several "lucky" wins regress the next season, and teams with several "unlucky" losses end up winning big the next year. The two exceptions, Manning's colts in 06 and 08 had SEVERAL "lucky" wins, but then outperformed those years the next season anyway. Manning's teams were the only exception to this rule from 06-17. that is going both ways. http://www.optimumscouting.com/news/nfl-s-close-game-analytics-how-lucky-wins-or-losse

yeah. would love to see qb w-l records in 1 score games

I'd do it if I had tomorrow off. They'll get people who will do it because it is for the Bills.

Read this in Madden's voice and it brought a smile to my face.

Can't be in two places at once.

According to this, they are going to make a change. The NBA already did, I believe. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-and-nflpa-to-adjust-covid-19-protocols-reportedly-lessen-the-maximum-isolation-period/

McKenzie played a game like this against miami last year, and looked so good I had a brief thought in my head that we wouldn't be able to afford to bring him back. I get that he might be a guy that is easy to game plan against if you use him all the time, but there has to be a bigger role for the guy.
