Reading this thread makes me think a lot of fans are posting through red and blue glasses. We needed to run clock, especially given the way the night was going. The defense couldn’t stop a nose bleed. Mahomes with a 1 min + - on the clock and TO beats or ties…. Almost guaranteed. Running was getting tough but I think we could’ve thrown it short with a few higher % quick dink and dunks.

Yup now age 24 vs 30 & eating cap $$$. I hate signing players when you know they’ll be old and washed on the back end of their contract. Paid too much for VM and SD imo.

He gets beat in KC and sneaks by with a 3 pt W in OP because the defense was decimated.

We have plenty of those already on the roster

KC isnt beating Baltimore.

Washed, and we’ve been taken to the cleaners!

KC Cincy SD Houston Miami Baltimore …. Etc. AFC has a crap-ton of potential obstacles. We’re doing yet another wash rinse repeat with McD🥴

Ya’ can’t fix stupid!

Might take that long to get rid of McD or Mahomes to walk away.😉

I’m torn between Stafford & Elway I split my vote. In all honesty I can make an argument for either scenario.

With wit like yours it’s no wonder a simple post went that far over your melon.

Not that hard to follow, but I’ll spell it out for you anyways; KC isn’t the only team in our path, KC’s DC is the least of our problems.

There are plenty of other teams in the afc that’ll be competitive . Cincy Baltimore KC Houston Miami SD (if they make the right hire). JA’s game is physical, unless he drastically changes his style as he gets older, realistically how many seasons is our window of opportunity at a legit SB shot? McD has seemed to reach a ceiling, how long do you stay the course? He’s had his opportunity.

Want less injuries get younger in the DBF and get bigger LBs it’s not conditioning

For me the biggest issue was lack of creativity and trotting AJ out to deal with Travis. Seriously that was McD’s plan ? AJ is washed. It was such a ridiculous decision. Mahomes and Maauto looked like two kids playing ball in the backyard.

Spot on …. I’ve been in and out of a few theads here and there are a number of posters who can’t seem to grasp this ….

Move Shakir to WR2 and i would absolutely love to find a Welker / Edelman / Beasley type tough slot receiver. I think JA would benefit greatly. Jury is out on Diggs, Davis can go.

If Diggs wasn’t hurt, he’s looking like he’s taken a major step back. I’ll take a wait and see until we find out..

All the posters saying no to Brady are ridiculous. 7-2 using your the old OC’s playbook, while being thrown to the wolves after a crap first half of the season while facing the most difficult part of the schedule. Nah he doesn’t deserve a shot…. Smh! Work on upgrading the WR’s (JA deserves legit weapons) and get younger in the defensive back 7 & bigger @ the LB spots. A lot to be done with the crap $50M cap as well.

What your not grasping is that the offense couldn’t afford to get in a horse race given the Defense. This isn’t even a 3 pt game if we play JA hero ball. I guarantee we would have lost that game by double digits.

You basically reiterated what I stated. KC changed up D, we had 2 unproductive drives and a failed kick. With a D that repeatedly shown they couldn’t stop KC all game you needed a perfect game, we didn’t get it. KC adjusted to stopping the run and was still defending deep. Hero ball Josh wasn’t going to work. Best case he goes underneath but I think they were kill the clock mode. Unfortunately at that point the run had been shut down. But again you had a D that couldn’t stop KC and we weren’t going to be competing in a horse raise especially with the deep ball taken away.

Adjusted … threw it some, batted ball, a drop, a misread, special team (Bass) let down. Three pt game - couple missed plays is the difference in a game where your D COULDN’T stop a nose bleed. Not sure what you were watching or want. KC changed to slow up the run and was still playing not to get beat deep. JA chucking and going all hero ball wasn’t the answer….. Bills O pretty much dominated offensively stat wise, KC dominated in efficiency vs a Mash Unit D. THIS ISNT and WASNT an offensive issue. Last necessitated a perfectly executed game, we didn’t get it. Im not sure what you think was the proper scheme here offensively. This team is too old in the back 7, too small at the LB spots (both contribute to injuries) & needs an upgrade at the WR spot. Unfortunately looking down the barrel of a $50M cap isn’t great.

Don’t know if you noticed but KC made an adjustment defensively.

Couple of drops, couple of miss reads / decisions , Bass is washed, one legged punter, MASH unit D. It was amazing that it was 3 pt tight game. Unfortunately a couple things go wrong or you fail to execute you’re basically F’ed in a game like this, we had very little margin for error given the defense.

Just MHO and trying to be realistic but a $50M cap, the number of aging players, the number of young talented QBs in this league… it’s going to make it very tough for the Bills to appear in or win a SB. We’ll be competitive, but elite enough? That door is closing quickly.
