Garbage time via the Chiefs will help that average.

1 vs 0. 1 vs 0. The only difference is the defense actually pulled out the game they carried the offense. The offense “carried” the defense to a loss. 😂😂

That’s all I said. Feel free to disagree.

Unfortunately, they all count. If the Bills lost that game 13-10, it would’ve just been more proof the defense was letting down Josh Allen! The offense put up 10, that should’ve been enough!

It would be nice of the offense to show up more than once against the Chiefs in the postseason. Do you disagree with this? Do you disagree that there have been postseason games that the defense has showed up and the offense hasn’t?

Man if only that kid they took third didn’t bust. What a shame.

Why are you taking the averages of those two games? Is it because Josh Allen is riding two games total as evidence of his “elite” play in the postseason? Sure, the defense played bad against the Chiefs twice. Josh Allen has had plenty of bad playoff games. I can list them for ya. Correct. If anyone wants to tell me the defense let Josh and O down in 2021, I wholeheartedly agree. If anyone wants to say the reason we haven’t won 4 Super Bowls in 4 playoff appearances is solely on the defense and not Josh Allen, they are wrong.

Josh had a passer rating of 80, and completed 58% of his passes in that game. The offense scored 9 points at the 6 minute mark in the 1st Q and had 15 points by 4 min left in the 4th Q. 5/14 on third down. That kind of offensive production got Kenny boy fired lol. Not gonna beat Mahomes in the playoffs with 15 points in the playoffs through 56 minutes in Arrowhead. Josh Allen in 2020 and 2022 saw his passer rating drop 13 points and 16 points in postseason compared to the regular season.

He was right when the Bills were drafting DB’s instead of QB’s to be fair

The Bills defense craps the bed in the playoffs except for all the games they didn’t that we just don’t talk about, right? Didn’t they hold Mac Jones and NE to 3 points and force two TOs until the game was basically out of reach? Didn’t they nearly shut out Lamar and the Ravens and outscore them by themselves, when the offense could barely muster points? Didn't they make a massive stop to end the Colts game? Man, talk about crapping the bed. Josh Allen was carried to his only AFCCG. He played well vs the Colts and horrible vs the Ravens and horrible in that game against the Chiefs.

If “good but with some fatal flaws” was an option, I would have picked it

McD was the second and last AFCE coach to make the playoffs in two separate seasons with Brady in the division since 2004.

The Chiefs traded up for a CB in the first as well, and he has been a large part of the reason they were successful last year and this year.

It’s crazy how the Niners knew it.

Lots of times with bad coaches who never got head coaching jobs again unless they got their own HC fired. Except Mularkey

The Bills went 9-7 exactly twice during the drought. Doug Marrone maybe. That’s it. I’m not sure any of the drought coaches find Poyer, Hyde, Milano and Tre and make them All-Pros.

Teams that are up 15 should go for it on 4th down. Teams that are down 15 should settle for field goals. What coaching tree did this philosophy come out of?

You’re a hilarious contradiction.

A LARGE element of luck. Joe Flacco and Anquan Boldin turned into Montana and Rice. That wasn’t just good coaching lol

Harbaugh and Tomlin don’t have the success to back up that claim. McD has more playoff wins than the both of them COMBINED since 2014. And they both have great GM’s and FO’s. I don’t want any part of that innovation. To my eye, they are both just pretty good coaches who usually do a good job and because they got lucky enough to win an SB in living memory, they are safe.

Most coaches don’t talk smack about current coaches. Tomlin also caped for Canada. Then fired him. Lol

Josh has normal trust issues imo. He didn’t trust the OL to start 2023. He was bailing out of the pocket in like 1 second predicting them to fall apart. He has settled in a little bit more as the season as gone on. I think he doesn’t trust Davis on the contested catches anymore. He’s starting to trust Shakir and Kincaid. He trusts Diggs over everybody. And when Diggs is beating coverages consistently, Josh is consistent. When Diggs ain’t, Josh ain’t. Money-wise, I think it’s impossible but trading for a Diontae Johnson-type guy next year to pair with Diggs would completely unlock Josh, imo. Diggs, Johnson, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, rookie WR would probably best one of the best pass catcher groups in the AFC.

Win or lose, this season is probably the last go-round for guys like Poyer, Hyde, maybe Tre, Von etc. For Poyer and Hyde, guys who deserve massive credit for becoming stars in Buffalo, helping break the drought, etc, I would like to send them out with a bang. Beat the Eagles and we are hopping the train. I don’t want those dudes last season in Buffalo to be spent on IR at 8-9.

See I think the one thing that coaches like Tomlin or Harbaugh have proven, and the reason why I think they haven’t been fired yet, is because they have weathered storms and come out the other side. Tomlin almost always pulls .500 seasons out. Both rosters and teams have seen rises and falls, and they haven’t lost the lockerooms or failed to bring the team back. McD hasn’t done that, yet. He has taken a team with no business making the playoffs to the WC spot (probably his best coach job). He has overseen a good team get to the second or third round, which is disappointing but not wildly below expectations. He hasn’t taken a team that was on life support from a playoff perspective, rallied them, and went on to win a playoff game or two. To me, this is the last hurdle for McD. I think if he pulls off a 6-1 record down the stretch here, he’s safe. And I’m okay with that tbh. And if we get killed in a couple of these games and the season spirals, I’m okay with firing him.

Funny fact, Drew Brees threw 19, 17, 11 and 15 INTs when they missed the postseason those four years. He never threw double digit picks again and never missed the postseason again. I would, and I am on record that I would rather have the Bills suck for 10 years and win once than make the playoffs 10 years straight and never win. But, to me, a guy like Haurbaugh is just as good of a coach as McD. Maybe a little better or worse but in the same tier of coaching. Yes, he won 1 Super Bowl a decade ago when his QB had the most insane heroic postseason performance of all time. But, imo, McD has been just as good if not better since he’s been a coach in this league. Put another way, if we fired McD and hired Harbaugh or Tomlin, to me that’s a complete lateral move. Despite their Super Bowl “DNA,” they didn’t win one with us and Harbaugh especially has never even come close repeating. Also, Dan Campbell will win COTY.
