Getting fired after going 7-10 is a far cry from getting fired after winning the division for 3 straight years and losing in the divisional round. If you fire a coach who just went 13-3 and won a playoff game, the job would be looked at as a career killer.

Totally agree. If they were picking CB no matter what, they should have traded up for McDuffie. Basham over Humphrey made no sense, and I really liked Boogie. It was a weird pick.

What top coaching candidate is going to take the job if McDermott were to get fired after the amount of success he’s had?

Maybe. Or maybe they’d take the second best guy on their board if he’s at a position of need. If that guy turns out to be a good player and fills a hole, that’s a much better pick than grabbing the best backup C in the league. You’ve got to get your players on the field while they’re cheap when you’ve got a top of the pay scale QB. If McBeane doesn’t figure this out with a quickness, they’re about a year away from tearing it down around Josh and starting over.

Bad plays happen to every QB. It’s a matter of frequency. Mahomes threw 100 passes and rushed 12 times in three postseason games. He didn’t throw any interceptions, and that was his only fumble. Josh threw 81 passes and rushed 12 times in two postseason games. He threw 3 interceptions and fumbled 3 times. That’s a massive difference.

Probably not, but that doesn’t mean they need to draft the solution two years in advance. By the time he gets on the field, you’d be having this same conversation about drafting his replacement.

There is literally zero chance that the Chiefs would consider a C on day 2. None.

When the best player on the board is also at a team’s biggest need, they should trade up for that player. Best player available is critical, but players are only cheap for 4 seasons. In today’s NFL, you can’t afford to sit players and waste their cost controlled years backing up established starters. It doesn’t have to be a decision of BPA versus need. It should be both, and GMs need to be savvy enough to move up and down the draft board to find that fit. It’s what I think Kansas City did in moving up for McDuffie when they needed a CB and Trent was easily the highest player at any position left on their draft board. I don’t think that Elam was the highest player on Buffalo’s board, but he was the highest CB so they went and got him.

Are you guys serious? He’s averaged 4.3 YPC for the past 2 seasons while taking an absolute beating. This board is clamoring for OBJ, Bobby Wagner, and Derrick Henry to join Von Miller. Did I go back in time to 2017? If so, here’s a tip. When Andy Reid calls two months from now, don’t answer the phone.

Josh Allen AYA in 2023: 7.7 Joe Burrow AYA in 2023: 7.6 Josh Allen AYA in the divisional round: 5.21 Joe Burrow AYA in the divisional round: 7.83 So what you're saying is that you just make up whatever narrative fits your agenda, gotcha.

Bills fans massively overstate the offensive line issues. The bigger issue is that Josh tends to be a slow decision maker. The difference between how quickly Burrow got rid of the ball compared to Allen when they played was striking. Singletary, Cook, and Moss all averaged over 4.5 YPC, so they can clearly run block. They may not be great in pass protection, but they are much better than they're made out to be on here. Anyone who thinks swapping out a few linemen is suddenly going to make a huge difference is delusional.

Nobody gets everything they ask for in a negotiation. Do you think he’ll get more than the $133m guaranteed he turned down? If he does, it means he was smart.

So go on record. You think he’s getting less guaranteed money than the $133m he reportedly turned down? I’ll say he gets substantially more than that.

Here’s a different way to look at it. Vegas sees only 5 legit Super Bowl contenders. There’s a huge drop off after the Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers, Bengals, and Bills. Whatever of those teams get the 1 seeds will have to play, at most 2 of those teams to win the Super Bowl.

I always find it incredible that people on message boards always think they know better than the actual players when it comes to those players’ finances.

At some point, Beane has to be judged on something beyond having drafted Josh 5 years ago. Here's what has happened since then: Year one: Missed playoffs Year two: Lost in wild card round (overtime) Year three: Lost in AFCCG (blowout) Year four: Lost in div. round (overtime) Year five: Lost in div. round (blowout) So there you are. Five seasons, four playoff games won, and a pretty well defined arc of postseason results. The question then becomes whether or not these results are acceptable five years after making that pick. The follow up would be what direction the team is currently headed.

Lamar would be a perfect fit for the 49ers.

Bills should have traded for Tyreek.

Bills fans are about to learn an uncomfortable truth about the salary cap. It’s not a documentary, but it’s based on a true story.

So any time people ask why I, as a Chiefs fan, decided to post up here, now you know.

Literally might be my all time least favorite Chiefs player. https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=339455

He hasn't really had a great season since he was 24 years old. He'll turn 31 next season. Here are his yards per target by season. 2014: 10.0 2015: 9.2 2016: 8.1 2017: 7.4 2018: 8.5 2019: 7.8 2020: 7.4 2021: 6.5 2022: DNP Why would anyone want him at any price?

You're probably right about the 4 players, but if you are it's a huge problem. Two coverage linebackers and two aging safeties being the core of a defense is poor roster construction. Ultimately, it all comes down to whether Von and Tre are back to their old (young) selves next year. If that seems unlikely, it's probably time for a fire sale on that side of the ball. Getting younger and faster on defense can be done quickly. It's just a matter of ripping off the band-aid.

He’s a 32 year old Safety with a bad knee. Nobody is going to give up picks for the right to pay him $14m for one season.

But they used the same defensive scheme literally several plays in a row. Don't you know that most teams switch schemes after every play? They should've started in a 4-3, switched to a 3-4, then the Buddy Ryan 4-6, then moved to a nickel package followed by a dime package. They could have then used the extended halftime to hire a new defensive coordinator and brought in a few free agents for the second half. It can't possibly be that the Chiefs are actually talented and well coached offensively. After all, Josh Allen is literally the only good football player in history.
