One thing that they haven't mentioned while talking about the 470 yards and 4 TD's is that Flacco also threw 2 INT's and he lost a fumble. Burrow is likely to have had less TO's to go along with his high end production.

I agree and with both Palmer & Davis likely to be in the mix soon only a guy like Waddle would have moved the WR bar.

Jones just had a FIVE TURNOVER game, 5! They're taking a huge gamble here because if Jones is not the guy the loss of those two 1st round picks will prove devastating. As it is even if Jones is the guy that was a very steep price to pay for a corner that hasn't looked that good over the last 2 seasons.

Doing nothing is better then doing bad deal.

To be fair Deebo knows how to make those gadget plays work. It's clear that Brady wants to run them but Knox & Moore were not getting it done.

It's almost as if they're load managing Kincaid. Why have him block and get worn down when they have Knox, the Rookie and Gillum?

It's going to be tough for the Chargers as they may have lost both starting tackles. Alt had another high ankle sprain and I heard that it might need surgery. We complain about Bill's injury's but there are a lot of teams that have had it worse then us.

And hitting 10 different receivers with a pass is pretty rare. The return of Palmer will also open up things downfield.

Bishop has been on an upward trend since week 1 so I don't think it's a blip. He may not put up stats like this every week as some of that was a function of how KC plays offense but I think the guy has arrived. That critical INT against NO opened my eyes as to what he could do mentally & physically against the pass.

I was going off of what the so called experts were saying. Hell, Cowherd had the Chiefs as #1 on his Herd Hierarchy. I also thought KC looked very good the last few weeks and going 5 - 1 after losing to the Chargers & Eagles, two very good teams when healthy, convinced me that KC was playing great.

As today showed the Pats have a loss or two coming against teams they "should" beat ahead of them.

Or got hosed by some guy named Laevinic!

Flacco might get it in the loss to the Bears. My bet is Jackson who had 5 TD's Thursday.

The guard was so late getting to Bosa that he was unblocked and he figured the Chiefs were setting something up behind him. It sucked because had Bosa gone straight after Mahomes they don't convert that 4th down. On the other hand it was a real heads up play by Bose to recognize that something wasn't right.

I would say that the more aggressive and successful throws downfield seemed to open things up even more.

What's kind of amazing considering how bleak things looked a few weeks ago in the secondary is that the raw material is there for a very good, maybe even an elite secondary.

I didn't notice this before but watch how Bishop hangs back ready to either grab a pop up or tackle a Chief who catches a pop up. Real heads up play.

BTW, Allen hit TEN different receivers with today! But yes, the WR problem was on full display today. Palmer can't get back soon enough and Bean really does have to pull the trigger on a WR.

Poyer enables Bishop to play lose and it shows. Bishop has been playing very well the last few games. If Hancock can elevate his play the Bills are set at safety for years. Agree. But the Chiefs were one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Beating them by a TD was an accomplishment.

And there you have it all the good and bad of a McD coached team . * A magnificent win by the Bills with the MVP QB playing like an MVP. And hats off to McD for getting the team ready. * Multiple bad decisions and a criminal waste of 2nd half TO's in a close game. An O coordinator who clearly is being reigned in by the coach who did not put the ball in Allen's hand to get that first down and win the game. No, McD thought a 52 yard FG was a better option. If we win a Super Bowl you saw tonight why we will win one. But if we never win a SB you also saw tonight why we didn't. It's an unsolvable dilemma.

On the surface this is 100% correct. But let me make an argument as to why they just might. * If Miami is going into a major rebuild, and all signs are that they are, then they won't have to worry about being burned by Waddle & the Bills for at least the next 2 seasons. By the time Miami will be in a position to challenge Buffalo/NE for the East Waddle would be at least 30. * If the Bills gave up a 1st or 2nd round pick there is a chance that this will weaken the Bills and strengthen Miami in a future where the Dolphins get their rebuild right. * Waddle's CAP hit will also limit who the Bills can sign in other areas. Again with an eye towards the time when Miami is actually competing with Buffalo after the rebuild. Bottom line is that trading Waddle to the Bills would not be a zero sum situation. In fact the argument that it helps the Bills a lot over the next 2 years and helps Miami a lot beyond that is sound.

I can't speak for what others post only what I post and I have always acknowledged that Kincaid is an important and effective part of the passing game. But IMO it is disingenuous to claim that a TE, no matter how good they are in the passing game, is the same as a WR. They have very different skill sets and responsibilities in a passing attack. And there is no "agenda" in claiming that the Bills have a very poor WR room. It's a statement of fact bolstered by the performance on the field. That doesn't mean I don't believe that once we are fully healthy and if young players like Coleman progress the Bills won't have a decent WR group. But RIGHT NOW and RIGHT HERE they do not. If you're looking for posters with agendas, I would suggest you look at those that argue we don't have a critical WR issue.

Kincaid is not a WR, not even close. He is a very good pass catching TE. There is a huge difference between the two.

Then a healthy Milano - no. Against NE in the first half the D looked very stout with Milano in there. The Pats only got 2 FG's one of which was a gift from Coleman. When Milano went out NE's offense came to life a bit scoring 17 points. Milano may not be as good as Shaq against the run but he's much better against the pass.

This is why the game Sunday is so interesting. I tend to agree with you that from a player and playbook standpoint the Bills have been load managing the team. Giving guys that extra week off to get fully healthy and not going to deep into the playbook. But for a variety of reasons this is the game to go full bore and forget about any load management. We'll know more Sunday night.
