That's not accurate at all. He struggled at setting the edge as a full time DE. He regularly kicks out from DT to DE on passing downs and dominates. Having pocket awareness isn't QBing in fear. It's what the great ones do. He let his LT get pushed into his lap when there was a perfect pocket available. I don't understand why people are questioning which open receiver he chose instead of asking why he didn't step into the pocket.

There isn't a tackle in the league who can consistently stone Chris Jones without help. And Dawkins, while good, is certainly not elite while Jones is first team all Pro.

No it wouldn't have. He didn't have to wait until an all Pro pass rusher has pushed the LT into his lap to slide into the pocket. It was poor pocket management. Throwing it to Shakir was the correct play. Throwing it to Diggs would have also been a perfectly reasonable decision. Standing still while an elite pass rusher wrecks the play was the issue.

This discussion completely misses the point. The decision was 100% correct. It was Josh's execution that was poor. Had he simply slid into the massive pocket to his right, that's a TD. As talented as he is, Josh still has room for improvement when it comes to the subtleties of QB play. There's no way Brady or Manning stands still and lets himself get bumped by his LT when there's a perfect pocket to be had.

He’s 6 months younger than Kincaid.

The last 2 times these teams have met in the playoffs, Buffalo is 6/7 on 4th down…so of course everyone complains about the one time it didn’t work even though the Chiefs didn’t score on the following drive. Meanwhile the Chiefs are 1/1 during that span. The Bills have had to pull out all the stops. They’ve done so, and it’s worked every time but once and even that time didn’t cost them yet people want to blame the losses on coaching.

This reads like satire. The last time they met in the playoffs, Josh scored with 0:13 left. Is he supposed to literally hit a buzzer beater TD? If you have an open receiver for a 30 yard TD and a 4 point lead, you take it. He made the right decision, but he failed to move even slightly into a wide open pocket. Mahomes still may have scored, but that’s not on Josh.

Josh had a massive pocket he should have stepped into on that play. He chose to stand still like his feet were nailed to the ground.

This year should be a “rip the Bandaid” one, but I don’t know that McBeane have the job security to do it. They could eat all the bad contracts, suck for a season, and emerge with a high draft pick plus cap space. They won’t, but they should.

The amount of disrespect Davis gets around here is staggering. He and Kincaid are both 24 years old. Davis is already 9th on the Bills all time list for TD receptions with 27. Kincaid has 2. Gabe has never had fewer than 6 in a season. The fact that he has done all of that while earning less than $6 million in his career is incredible value. When their careers are over, Davis will almost certainly have better numbers than DK. For some reason, everyone here thinks that Kincaid is the second coming and Gabe is a bum, though.

You’re 100% correct, and you’re proving my point. Mahomes doesn’t deserve the MVP this year even though he’s a better player than Lamar. Lamar had the better regular season, and it’s a regular season award. Mahomes is much more willing to run in the postseason, and he’s an extremely effective runner. Lamar runs in the regular season. He deserves the award.

I think it’ll be a weird score due to something wild happening in the game, but I also think Kansas City throws their weight around. Something like 32-19 Chiefs.

Buffalo lost multiple games this season because Josh gave them away. The same can’t be said of Mahomes. Lamar is going to win the MVP this season, and he’s going to deserve it. That doesn’t mean he’s the best QB in the league. If it were a “best player in the league” award, it would go to Mahomes or Allen every year.

Every remaining playoff team has played one postseason game. If we’re ranking teams by the (completely stupid) metric of who has looked the best so far, its Tampa, Kansas City, Baltimore, Buffalo, San Francisco/Detroit.

You think Herbert is better than Lamar? 🤣

It wasn’t the horrible INT he threw to a wide open RB (also late and a cross his body) when he could have just as easily slowly walked for a first down? Cuz that one was bad as well.

So him going 9/11 passing with a TD and running for a TD in the second half didn’t happen? I don’t understand what Lamar has to do to impress some people. He’s going to rightfully win his second MVP this season, and he’s got his team hosting the AFCCG despite his best receiving threat being out for the second half of the season.

Lamar was great. Not sure what game you were watching.

How did you walk away from the Ravens game thinking Lamar was anything less than great? He was nearly flawless. He didn’t put up gaudy passing numbers, but if he goes 16/22 for 2 TDs plus 100 yards and 2 more TDs rushing without turning the ball over the rest of the way, they’re winning the Super Bowl.

The Ravens, Bills, and Chiefs are the three best teams left in no particular order. There’s not a QB left in the NFC I trust.

We need a Chiefs @ Bills game trash talk thread.

He’s becoming too commercialized.

Kansas City is about to luck into their sixth straight AFCCG.

So your theory is that the defending Super Bowl MVP is causing dysfunction? He doesn’t understand how to win?

I’ll be here dancing on your grave. 😎
