I am only liking this post so that I can hopefully be clowned when I’m proven wrong lol

I’m not sure how wild it would be. Felt like this was his last chance

I would not add more Josh designed runs until January. I would like to get Cook the ball in the flat more. I would like to see him in the backfield and motioned out wide too. imo, that’s the secret to get the spy off Josh that has clipped his wings in the scrambling game. Cook with a single guy to beat in the flat or on a wheel route is an easy win for the Bills over the long haul imo.

There’s a harder ceiling on great defensive plays when the athleticism wanes a bit. Cole nearly had a pick six on Worthy because he was flying in there like a missile. He has not been perfect this year, but if he does recognize a play to be made, he has the wheels to get there. Hyde’s iconic pick against Mac Jones is a TD if he is half a step slower. That’s just how thin the margins can get in coverage. @Simon had the great point that this staff needs to be comfortable taking some lumps with the yoots now so they can progress through the year.

Yeah it’s how much they need the “perfect” to be great. A missed block for a 2 yard loss on first down? We are less than great. A procedural penalty for a 2nd and 15? We are less than great. 3rd and 10 in an obvious passing situation? We are less than great. We are stylistically so different from the Niners with Jimmy G, but that’s what this offense reminds me of. When we are rolling and running the ball well and staying on schedule, we are a wagon offensively. If you can bottle us up a bit and get us behind the sticks, it pays off for the defense.

115 rating when targeted is nasty work.

So this is something I picked up on the broadcast. the first few series, Joey Bosa was annihilating the Chiefs RT. Later, to my eye, Joey was exclusively rushing on the opposite side. Which, I think, he has predominantly been rushing this year. My question is, what is the rhyme or reason for which side our ends line up? Does Groot prefer the left side? Do the coaches prefer AJE on the right? after what Bosa was doing to Taylor, I would have maybe considered leaving him on that side but I’m sure that’s not the whole story.

You have never heard that.

Are you under the impression that the Colts Steelers game was some kind of shootout? Josh was basically perfect last night, and yet, when we get stuffed or a penalty on first down and get into 2nd and 10 or 3rd and long, our offense is basically dead in the water. And that comes from not having a threat on the boundary.

His cap hit for a team trading for him in 2025 would be like $8-9M.

Remember when the NFL tried to make landing on QBs with your body weight a personal foul after Rodgers broke his collar bone for a few seasons and then just kinda forgot they did that and stopped calling it?

Pacheco not being a game-changer but Rapp and Daquon being game-changers is certainly a take. they have missed plenty of players over the years. They aren’t talked about as much because they win.

Listen, I get annoyed too, but recognize you are naming 5 games over the course of like 5 seasons.

I think he didn’t want to spend the game in the locker room when he knows that an extra hr of rest ain’t gonna make a difference.

Can’t wait to challenge some holding calls next wtf

My theory is that the PED boys came back and gave Bishop some help.

Year 9 of a system and not ready on 4th down after declining a penalty lol

We should’ve traded Josh for Brock Purdy and 3 1sts 4 years ago lol

I legit feel like we are gonna lose by 100. I will hopefully be very wrong.

I’m gonna give you the saddest comp ever. Justin Hunter. Pick 34 in 2013.

KC had a great defense those last two years and an average offense. I think the 15th ranked offense with the best or second best QB in the game is kind of a failure tbh. I think if we had the 15th ranked offense, I would be pretty concerned we would miss the playoffs. FWIW, we have faced a ton more man this year, especially in our losses. Teams don’t fear us to beat them with Josh’s arm and our pass catchers. That’s a problem.

Can we also add that basically no team has succeeded in building a great WR room with their strategy of FA WRs. The Jags were famous FA WR over spenders. They handed out ridiculous contracts for Kirk and Zay and other dudes. Fast forward a few years and they are spending back to back first rounders at WR because those guys weren’t good enough. It is not “the way” as much as Beane wants to bargain bin shop.

I fail to see how this is much different than us relying on Coleman, Samuel and Moore to step up? 15th/16th in points/yards is like bang on average. If that’s “functional” with one of the best QBs in football, I’m not sure what your definition of dysfunctional is.

That’s not what happened with Mahomes FWIW. after his stellar 2022 with a less than stellar supporting cast, their offense just took a step back relatively speaking. For 2 years in a row. And that was with Andy Reid calling the plays

The media was being silly, like they always are. You don't have to tell me about what the 2022 Chiefs did and how it was similar to the 2024 Bills. What you are missing is the 2022 Chiefs had Travis Kelce put up one of the greatest TE seasons in history with 110 catches, 1300 yards and 12 TDs. And Mahomes was throwing for 300 YPG and had 5500 yards total and 45 TDs.
