No it’s not … but Campbell wet/crapped the bed stillThere's wetting the bed which is understandable as that was Campbell's first Championship Game and then there's having uncontrollable diahera in bed which is what McD did in the 13 seconds game.

That was Campbell’s 13 second game.
Not even close. I didn't like the decision to not kick the FG's but those were 50/50 calls at the time he made them. Thirteen seconds represented a complete collapse of the Bills special teams & defensive coaching. What Campbell did today isn't in the same ball park of coaching screw ups as McD and 13 seconds.

It would be a farce if Jackson were to win MVP after today's performance. If they want to save the reputation of this award I hope they give it to CMC. In addition to his spectacular regular season with well over 2000 yards in 16 games he has had a very good postseason. Rushing = 37 carry's for 188 yards and 4 TD's and 11 catches for 72 yards. That's a total of 260 yards from scrimmage and 4 TD's in two playoff games.

Spags figured out how to stymie this year's Lamar. Rush 5 or 6 and make Lamar play fast. When he has forever, those recievers eventually get open long. Not nearly as much today.
It was a great defensive design. The Chiefs were very disciplined n their pass rush and didn't get out of their lanes. And notice that Jackson struggled to hit the open receiver even when he had all day to throw. And don't forget that the Chiefs #32 dropped an easy INT that hit him right in his hands and Jackson made a spectacular play on the batted ball that should also have been intercepted.

Jackson is gonna take a ton of heat for this one. Deservedly so. However the strength of the ravens is running and the weakness of the chiefs is run defense. The gameplan did not help lamar at all today.
He'll take local heat because local fans actually know more about their teams then the national talking heads. But so far Jackson seems to be taking less heat from the national guys then Allen was taking immediately after last weeks loss. Maybe that will change tomorrow but I bet it doesn't.

Yea the josh turnover narrative has always intrigued me because he just doesn’t do it in the playoffs…I think he has one of the lowest interception % rates in playoff history. Two of those 4 picks were 100% on the wide receivers and three of those six turnovers were in the same game that he won where the dolphins had to just send everybody all game
romo gets mocked for calling him Mr January but he really isn’t wrong lol
Most of the national talking head "experts" on Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS & ESPN are football morons. It's amazing how dumb they are. At least Cowherd brings a lot of very knowledgeable football guys (like Cosell) on his show that provide excellent insight into players and games.
But what really gets me is how the majority of the big time talking heads go after Allen and push a false narrative about his play. They just don't like Allen and I think a lot of it stems from their bad takes on him coming out of college and during his rookie season. It's like they blame Allen for not having he decency to suck so that their horrible takes would have been true.

How many rings with that Eagles run again? My memory is fuzzy in my old age. How many AFCCG did he led KC to before Mahomes? Nevermind any Superbowl appearances.Reid is an excellent coach. But the main reason for KC’s recent success is Mahomes. His talent maximizes Reid’s plays.
Reid and Mahomes are complimentary to one another. That is probably the biggest difference between them and Allen/McD.

He has a defense that can hold the playoff chiefs to 17 though. Josh would probably be undefeated against the chiefs if the bills defense could do that consistently.
I've been checking in on some of those big time NFL talking heads and they seem awfully quiet about how poorly Jackson played today. Did you know the Ravens lost because of penalties & a fumble into the end zone. I can only imagine these same talking heads reactions if Allen played a game like the one Jackson did today. Wait, I don't need an imagination here. After last weeks game where Allen had 3 TD's and no TO's and played pretty damn well all I heard these people say is how Allen can't win the big games or beat Mahomes. It's amazing the difference in tone from these "experts" between this week and last.
Here's the bottom line Allen is 5 - 5 with a defense that isn't even close to being as good as the Ravens has been. Allen has 27 total TD's and only 6 TO's and has played great in half his playoff games. Jackson is 2 - 4 with 9 total TD's and 9 TO's.
Allen's worst playoff game is better then Jackson's play in 5 of his 6 playoff games.

Last week Green Bay dropped two Purdy INT's including a potential pick 6. Today Purdy is looking awful with a really bad INT. After Jackson's earlier playoff meltdown (his 5th in 6 playoff games) and what we're seeing out of Purdy so far I think some folks are going to to have to redo their top 10 QB lists.

So, does this game improve Allen’s chances for MVP?
It won't but it should. Image giving the award to Jackson after that performance on that stage. They would look like fools.

Hopefully we’ve heard the last of the idiotic ESPN talking heads comparing Lamar to Josh Allen.
I just watched the CBS talking heads and the Fox talking heads and no one talked about Jackson's very bad game and very bad playoff record. I can't believe if Allen had a 2 - 4 playoff record and had 1 TD and 2 TO's in a home championship game they wouldn't be all over the guy.

FFS how many times is Lamar going to get lucky on bad throws?!
That's two INTs he should have thrown.

This game is not over. It wouldn't shock me if Jackson and the Ravens came back big time.

has anybody looked at how much time allen had from the snap to when he let go of the ball? i don't know enough to say whether he should have felt that pressure quickly enough to step away from it.
Here's my issue with those claiming Allen could have just stepped up into the pocket on that play. If Dawkins was pushing Jones to the outside it would have been a simple matter of moving up into the pocket. But Jones was driving Dawkins STRAIGHT back into the QB. If Allen had stepped up into the pocket Jones disengages from Dawkins and tackles him as he steps up. I guess Dawkins could have held him and hoped the Ref doesn't see it but there is no way that an all pro like Jones isn't fully aware of Allen's threat to step up and throw or run the ball.

Of course, to make this statement, you have to ignore that Allen had a lifetime to see Jones coming as he stood there motionless in the pocket instead of taking a half step forward or to the right. If you want to claim that he only missed because he was interfered with, then he should have done the bare minimum to not be interfered with. We all know he's capable of it. We shouldn't accept it as a legitimate excuse.
A lifetime to make that throw? Me thinks you exaggerate a bit here.
It's actually insane the way Bills fans are analyzing this one play. It's obvious what happened: Allen choose to go for the TD hitting an open Shakir and missed the throw because the pass rusher pushed the tackle into him. An for this we've had a ten page thread. Nitpicking Allen seems to be a favorite activity for some Bills fans.

So using a 1st round pick on Kincaid, drafting Torrence, getting McGovern, that was minor stuff? Some of you act like if superstar WRs are just on some shelves, waiting to be signed. And as if the salary cap was just a nuisance. ALL teams have weak links. Diggs was a top receiver, one of the very best. He's had a subpar end of the year, and we don't know why, but let's not pretend Beane could have predicted this.
It was the start of doing the right thing - THE START.
From 2019 - through the 2022 draft (4 drafts) how many high draft picks were spent on the offense? By high I mean 1st or 2nd round picks. A 1st to land Diggs and a 2nd for Cody Ford. Am I forgetting any?
And for the record I liked the McGovern signing. It was a great VALUE signing that worked out a lot better then the previous years signing of Saffold. But again, from 2019 through the 2023 draft (5 drafts) the Bills spent two #2 picks and NO #1 picks on the O line. And the only high profile FA signing over that 5 year period was Morse. So yea when it comes to prioritizing the Offense and surrounding Allen with the best possible players the Bills have not put in much of an effort focusing instead on later draft pick projects and value FA signings.

There is absolutely no way the bills would keep up with KC. One team had to throw behind the line most of the game the other team ripped 20+ yards with ease. Mcd's gameplan was actually pretty great up until the last 2-3 plays
McD's game plan depended on PERFECT performances by Allen & Brady. He almost got them to but depending on perfection in football is never going to work.
3 hours ago, BullBuchanan said:I don't speak for the folks saying that, but do you think it might have something more to do with drilling the ball in the dirt rather than picking the wrong WR?
Of course to make this statement you have to ignore that Jones pushed Dawkins into Allen impacting the throw. It was a great play by one of the best D linemen in the NFL.

How did we not make a Super Bowl:

honestly, I have absolutely loved this ride. To have an amazing qb where playoffs are a given every year is such an amazing feeling. But man, a team with that resume should have made more than one championship game. 😢
just wanted to bum everyone out on a Saturday morning.It's simple the Bills did not try to surround Allen with the best available offensive players to fully exploit his skills. A secondary reason was that the head coach was not up to the task in later round playoff games against better competition.

I'm convinced that if Allen goes for Diggs, and then something happens to derail the drive - maybe a holding penalty, maybe a turnover - the armchair QB's would have spent the week talking about Allen looking at a wide open Shakir in the endzone and passing it up.
Agree 100% here. And with 15 plays and over 6 minutes invested into that drive the odds of a sack or holding penalty or TO go way up. IMO the concept McD worked out with Brady to protect his defense was bound to fail. The only reason it came so close to working was Allen's otherworldly performance.
A better plan would have been to wage a shootout with KC. We had the advantage of being at home and having as good if not better group of skill players then the Chiefs. I could have seen us winning such a game 38 - 34.

I'm more selfish than that. I want Mahomes to win.
If the Ravens KO the Chiefs & advance to the Super Bowl, that'll just make the narrative against Josh even stronger. "Every other elite QB in the AFC accomplished more & made a Super Bowl!"
Burrow & Lamar both made more AFCCGs, both beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, both made a SB, and one even has an MVP (possibly 2). If Mahomes KO's Lamar, that drops his record to 2-4 in the postseason, and it'll still give Josh some breathing room.
I think it strengthens the narrative that McD is not good enough to get the Bills to the SB. KC & Cincy have both put their offenses ahead of their defenses and both are coached by offensive minded guys. The Ravens made a decision to tear down and rebuild their offense to better compliment Jackson. They added a new OC and made a couple of splash draft/FA signings of offensive skill players. So after failing to make the playoffs in 2021 and a 1st round ext in 2022 (both years Jackson was hurt) the Ravens made major changes and they're now on the cusp of a SB.

As an aside, Mahomes in the postseason, when his defense allows 20+ points.
10-3
Josh Allen in the postseason when his defense allows more than 20 points.
2-5.
It’s joever.
There's a pretty simple explanation for this. Reid attacks when his defense is bad because he has an elite QB that he puts his trust in. McD on the other hand retreats and demands that Allen & the OC button up the hatches and hunker down. Run clock and protect the defense. Reid embraces the shootout in these situations and McD embraces a bunker down mentality. Both the Houston and 2020 KC championship game were examples of this. Remember those 2 FG's instead of attempted TD's (4th & goal from the 2 and 4th & 3 from the 8 yrd line) against the Chiefs in the Championship game?
In the one playoff game they unleashed Allen and embraced the shootout in the 4th quarter of the 2021 playoff game Allen led the Bills to a 3 point lead with 13 seconds left. Only the extreme incompetence of McD and the defense allowed KC to win that shootout.

How do you think Reid would utilize Allen? What would he do with Allen that the Bills aren't doing now?
First off Allen would have walked into a situation with two first ballot HOF skill players to throw the ball to.
Second, Reid would not put a governor on Allen in situations where he was trying to protect an ailing defense. Reid's response would have been to turn Allen lose and win a shootout.
Third, Reid would have provided better play calling and play design throughout Allen's tenure.
Fourth, Reid would have fielded a better O line throughout the last 6years. Imagine Allen with a fraction of a second longer on his passes.
Fifth, Reid would have found ways to best utilize Allen's running ability and cannon of an arm.
Bills need a hardnosed, blunt QB coach

You are aware that Brady had Allen routinely checking down on his throws once he took over? Something that some folks on 2BD claimed Allen would NEVER do. The Bills seem to be moving in a different direction on offense and it's intriguing. We saw glimpses of it during the winning streak and tough loses to the Eagles & Chiefs. I think we all may be pleasantly surprised at this time next year.
