Didn’t know a 3 point loss with some VERY questionable calls was getting “spanked.”
They got spanked in the same way a child gets spanked by their father. They didn't get beat down, they were put in their place by the same team that's repeatedly done it to them.

During the season, the offensive line, and Cook. The simple solution is give away a 1st and 2nd, and next years 1st for Garrett. Then, the other 2nd goes for the space eating DT we need. GROOT gets single coverage, and and Oliver gets the opportunity to penetrate. The recast for the draft of the 7 picks goes towards a speedy WR, CB, and Safety. A kicker and backup QB with our 6ths as we have two. That’s it.You can’t evaluate how bad any team wants it. This is anger and frustration, and I understand it. I’m frustrated too. I am. We have answers in front of us, but a matter of Beane doing what it takes to win. Extend Josh amd backload it and we have all the space we need. There a couple other restructures out there. The cap went up last year by around $35 mil. And another $25 mil this years. It might be as high as $27 mil.
You're right about the oline and Cook.. Honestly if they go out and get Garrett then I think they're doing everything they can. It's the only move that moves the needle significantly enough for it to be worth it. One of my favorite things about him is he has that nasty streak that no one on the Bills have. He's a thug on the field not off of it and a perfect fit for the defense. Hopefully he bashes Mahomes with his helmet when he plays for us

Now I'm understanding why so many disagree with going all in and giving away the future. While a Super Bowl would be nice, having a chance to win each season is better.
The thing is. These same people will argue that as long as the team has Allen the window is open. So who cares if a season or two down the road is marginally more difficult when you have a supremely talented QB at the helm. Didn't he just prove the window doesn't close?

Cry me a river. I've been a Bills fan for likely longer than you've been alive unless you're eligible for Social Security, and the team has only had 3 periods of excellence in all that time: 1964-1966, 1988-1999, and 2019-2024.
Do you know what "zero for the seventies" means? Between 1970 and 1979, the Bills didn't win a single game against the Miami Dolphins. Not one. None. Zilch. When Chuck Knox's 1980 squad beat the Fish in September, 1980, the fans tore down the goal posts. It was the biggest win since the Bills won the 1965 AFC Championship.
I was a season ticket holder during the Drought Era, 17 seasons with the playoffs mostly being pipe dreams. The Bills had 2 9-win and 3 8-win seasons during stretch. Most of the rest of the time, the season was over before the end of October ...
So, buttercup, suck it up and deal with the reality that no team is guaranteed anything, especially winning a Super Bowl.
You're right. In my 12 years of life I'm so entitled that I demand the Bills not only win, they dominate the Superbowl! So dominate, in fact, that the NFC immediately concedes any future superbowls played against them.
Sure, I want the Bills to win a Superbowl. It doesn't consume me. Watching the Bills a fun an exhilarating activity I've enjoyed and will continue to enjoy with my family. We'd watch every game even if they went 2-14 or lost every game to the Pats, I mean Dolphins.
I'm expressing frustration and what I believe is the issue with the Bills current status as a hopeful SB champion. I certainly do appreciate what the Bills have accomplished over the past few seasons. It's great, it's wonderful and I've enjoyed it, yet they still haven't reached the pinnacle of excellence that, at the end of the day is the only reason they play these games.
If Allen doesn't win at least 1 Superbowl, all of his stats and accomplishments will equate to a hugely disappointing career. Mahomes could die tomorrow and end up as a first ballot HOFer simply because he's won multiple superbowls. Can you say the same for Allen, Burrow, or Jackson?
I get it, the Bills have sucked for the majority of their existence.. that's not my problem and it's not yours either. Here in the present, the team has left meat on the bone because they haven't been tough enough. Physically or mentally

Also Cook is on a rookie contract. You don't think he outplayed his contract?
I think Lamar Jackson had a better season ending drive than our very own Josh Allen

Very true. But that only works long term if people take accountability for their own mistakes. Realizing that they’ve made mistakes is step one. Owning them is step 2.
Isn't that what part of McDermott's process is though. Providing a 'safe' space for these men to make these mistakes and then learn and grow from them. Adding to the fact that the team predominantly drafts high character players and leaders, it doesn't seem like it would be an issue. Yet it somehow is.
-I might be talking myself off of McDermott here if I'm being honest

Some real accountability would be a good step. “It starts with me.” doesn’t cut it.
Exactly. You have to ruffle the feathers sometimes and make people uncomfortable and upset. It may happen behind closed doors, but at the end of the day as a coach you can't be afraid to say 'if this guy played better we would've won'

Again, this simply isn't true. If you want to argue that it is true, you'd have to say that it's equally true of the Chiefs.
The defense has been terrific in the playoffs ... except against the Chiefs.
That's the way it goes sometimes when you're up against sensational offenses.
Proof? Against one particular offense that they've played four times in the playoffs the Chiefs D has been pretty crappy. Allowed more than 30 points a game against that one offense they saw four times ... the Allen-led Bills, of course.
I guess that means the Chiefs D has only had one side of the ball play at or above expectations in their worst games in the playoffs too.
Damn, this is what I should have said.
Hahahah this is great!
The Bills would have won a superbowl if they were a 'nastier' team.
They haven't had the collective balls to win the big game. If you look at all the teams in the playoffs and the superbowl the majority of those teams have players that go out and attack the opposition.
At the point of contact are those teams giving or receiving the hits? When I watch the Bills they are receiving those on a fairly consistent basis. It's why Hamlin died one the field. Instead of attacking Higgins, he stood there and let Higgins 'Tee' off on him.
The Bills have and have had the talent to win it all, but their mentality is lacking. When push comes to shoves how many Bills players are out physicalicating their counter parts? Not many. It's so demoralizing for any player out there to give it your all and beat your man only to have one of your teammates let you down and get their ass beat.
They need to go out there with bad intention and make the other team go into the locker room and think 'oh crap we have a whole another half of that.' It's something the entire team needs because one player isn't enough when push comes to shove

I agree with you we need the team to collectively stand up and not take no for an answer.
It seems more then anything that Mcd defense is the major problem here KC got shut down by the Texans 212 total yds in that game and we all seen what Philly did to KC offense but the Bills give up 32 to a team that hasn't scored 30 all year long? Mcd defense is the worst I ever seen in the playoffs and I've been watching football for nearly 40 yrs. I'm pretty sure that it's historically bad in our losses maybe even worst of all time bad.
Andy Reid and Mahomes know our defense more then anyone and find ways to exploit our schemes and weaknesses. There's no way we will beat them on this stage until Mcd is gone or he gives up full control of the defense.
Once the Bills get eliminated next season again in the KC inventational will Pegs finally realize this front office and coaching staff got to go? I hope he does and I hope he makes the move we need to get to the next level and that's hiring Ole Bill Belichek. Bill can match wits with Andy on any given Sunday he's one of few that can do it. Until then I'll see here next yr after KC hands us a 5th loss in the playoffs.
I don't know if it's coaching or what. But I wouldn't mind if the Bills players were borderline dirty during these games. The refs tend to 'just let them play' in the playoffs so do everything you can to push the boundaries.
It's like every other team has an edge or gritty-ness to them in these big moments and the Bills are playing 'soft' for whatever reason. Look at how other teams try to freaking light guys up out there and take them out of the game. The Bills only seem do that to there own guys.
Even on offense you have players out there looking to dish some real punishment. The Bills just haven't been tough enough when it comes down to it

Ohh gotcha. Sorry I don't live on this thing. He's your answer from me at least. It's not my job to evaluate players based on their pay scale and performance. I don't set those bars and if you ask me most of these dudes get paid way too much. And the original point was not pay and performance it was "who wanted it more". I'm not going to apologies for thinking our Bills want it just as much. Perhaps it's just a raw talent issue and not heart. Perhaps Bean and McD can't evaluate talent as well as other teams idk. But to your point.
Allen plays his heart out in the playoffs. Cook played his part. Shakir played great. We really don't have a ton of elite guys. Beane bargain shops. Coaches coach them up pretty well I might say. They made it to the afc championship game after all. So maybe a good half the team played above their contracts. Idk none of this is probably what you want to read. I'm going to guess, my response is going to be met with more arguing tone and "I'm waiting" bravado so really does it matter what I think?This is exactly what I want to hear, a well thought out response defending your position.
The crux of the matter is that the Bills have in essence only had one side of the ball play at or above expectations over the course of the last 5 post season runs. They've been close enough to sniff the big game but there's very few players making a true impact in the biggest moments.
The reason Brady has so many rings is that he would stop at nothing to go out and win games.
It's not just guys not giving it there all out there. It's guys getting punched in the face and just taking it. It's about guys clawing and fighting every single play on the other side even if it borders on dirty play.Nobody is going to care how you get there only that you do.
I think it stems from McDermott overarching philosophy of being the upstanding team in most instances. He doesn't preach by any means necessary, which is exactly what it takes on any given play and every Sunday.
The Bills need everyone in the building to be a killer. Someone who's going to go out and win their rep no matter what. Someone who's going to put it all on the line when the chips are down, as it stands there's only a small handful of those guys playing for the Bills.
Sure the Eagles have a great roster and tons of talent, but at the end of the day that talent stepped up and played even better than they had before. The had guys who were rookies or overlooked by other teams come in and make plays. They made it easy for Hurts to be MVP, he didn't have to be superman.
The Bills need to dig deep and find that dog in them or they'll forever be know as the team who couldn't close the deal.

Exactly. It's not just one player or one specific incident. It's literally everyone just stepping up a half ***** measure and the Bills are on the cusp of greatness. If one or more player played marginally better over the course of multiple games the Bills could be the dynasty instead of the Chiefs.
You're not wrong about Cook. That's on coaching for not playing him more. As for Shakir he's a great piece but Gabe Davis had more of an impact against KC than he did without question. And I'm not suggesting they should've paid Gabe.
The Bills just need more people in the organization to step up regardless of their position. Everyone collectively in the organization needs to stop sucking. Including Josh, at the end of the day

Tell me who one the Bills has performed at or above their given contract during the playoffs.

Year after year, fans of this team are subjected to, the consistent rhetoric, that this year's iteration was 'good enough' save for a few calls here or there.
Too bad, so sad; they weren't!
The Eagles absolutely throttled the team that spanked the Bills in the AFCCG. No one here, can tell me, that the Bills had an honest to god chance against the Eagles. That team was primed for a run to the superbowl regardless of anything that stood before them..
It wasn't just Barkley, or Hurts, or Brown, or Sweat, or Braun or anyone else. It was all of these guys punching above their weight. Collectively that team wanted it more than anyone else. That'd what makes the difference. Every single player giving the absolute max they can, to get the job done.
What do the Bills have?
The Bills have Allen and that's about it. He's been great, but when hes the only one thats not enough to seal the deal. Whether it's the players around him, the coaches calling the plays, or mistakes he's made himself. There have been multiple opportunities to lead the team to greatness and they've all failed at that. Its the only thing holding this team back, it's not just Allen, or the weapons, or the defense, or the coaches, it's all of them.
But at the end of the day..
It doesn't matter who does what.
What matters is team success (i.e. winning a superbowl). And that means players being selfless and giving everything they've got. It means coaches pulling plays out of their asses to stop a crucial 4th down. IT MEANS BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE.
How many times have we all seen the Bills get 'close enough' only to fall flat on their face? The fact of the matter is.... that it's too many...
I, for one, am ready for the Bills to step up and win one for themselves and for the fans. It's time to stop being a team of wussies and being a team of men who get ***** done.
Let's go Buffalo!

Pretend scenario: Allen scores with 00:00’s on the clock in the 4th quarter, to make it Chiefs 27, Bills 26.
Option A: Kick the extra point to send the game to Overtime
Option B: Go for 2
My opinion? Go for it. And also go for any 4th down and 5 or less past mid-field.
Make a poll you coward!

Who's struggling? There was never a point in the game last week or so far today anyone would think we'd lose
The issue is that the Bills haven't scored a TD on every drive AND forced a punt/turnover on the D side of things. If they don't do that, they're obviously going to lose just like the.... checks notes.... Chiefs!

Thoughts on the difference in Bills play in the 1st and 2nd half of games? It is shockingly different.
In a way it reminds me of the Patriots teams when they'd start the season slow and gear up for the playoffs. The Bills do the same thing except in individual games.
Use the first quarter to feel the other team out, start to press in the second quarter, and then turn it on down the stretch in the third and close it out in the fourth.

That's what I'm thinking, Kingcaid will have just about 110 on his own and Knox's contribution is gravy. @Special K, you should think about about bumping those numbers up to at least 130. if Kingcaid can build off last season and be a better/more consistent target and Knox is healthier and bounces back a little bit the sky is the limit.
