    He’s played fewer than 50% of snaps in every game this season.  Who are you taking snaps from to give them to Von?

    Seemed like a bit of load management going on with the Buffalo defense this year makin sure guys stayed healthy for the playoffs. Looked like Epenesa lost snaps to Von last week and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that again.  Von was right at 50% last week but he probably got pulled when the game got out of hand so i wouldn’t be too surprised to see him at 55-60ish

    I'm going to be taking some activated charcoal today. My nerves will have me on the crapper all game long if I don't. Go Bills

    Already happening to me hahaha I’m sitting in the parking lot plotting a course to the nearest bathroom 😂

    Wait a minute, Detriot was the #1 rated team yesterday morning.

    Guess the talking heads are hiding today.

    I retired from sports betting at the wrong time lol. Betting the money lines against Darnold and Goff in their first playoff games this year seemed like really good value

    Don’t like our chances after that chiefs game

     

    hafe to say it but I think the script wants Lamar and Mahomes 

    I feel like the magical script that doesn’t actually exist could just as easily want Josh vs mahomes especially given we all got a pretty meh ravens chiefs afc championship last year

    Their D has been decimated by injuries.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ok but how does that improve Jared Goff lol this was the commanders…yea maybe you find a way past them with a healthier defense but it was just the first step.  They’d still have to get through the eagles and whoever is in the Super Bowl.  Do you have full confidence in Goff to get that done?  I l think it’s pretty fair to have doubts especially when you couple it with getting pantsed by belichick in the superbowl with the rams and one of the best offensive minds in the nfl giving up on him 

     

    not to mention Ben Johnson is leavin so that could have a negative impact too 

     

    idk why we’re so hellbent on choosing one thing to get all the blame in a game lol. The defense was bad of course, but Goff wasn’t good either

    that is silly.  Their defense let them down...so many 4th down conversions allowed...zero pass rush

    I’d probably be drafting some mid-late round qbs if I was Detroit out of mild concern…yea the defense was bad but that’s pretty independent of how Goff played.  It’s not the first time Goff has had a down game at the worst possible time in a great offensive system.  And the wizard behind that previous offensive system felt he had to take a huge swing at qb cuz Goff just wasn’t quite good enough

    Can't help but wonder if the Lions make a move at qb this off-season 

    I’m sure they got a pretty good glimpse at what McVay saw in LA but I just don’t know what they can do to instantly upgrade the position.  Any other guy they could realistically bring in is pretty much Jared Goff at best on a good day

    If Quinn can get a second chance at HC, then Spagnola should too gosh darn it 

    Spags is pushing 70 and Quinn is like 10 years younger.  I think that’s pretty much the only thing stopping him from getting another shot 

  9. 2 hours ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said:

    Serious questions. Is anyone interviewing Spags? And if not, why? Just another thing the Chiefs got lucky with. A great D coordinator who appears to be happy just being a D coordinator for the same team for 10+ years. 

    Too old most likely.  He has said he’d like to come back as a head coach a few times but I think that’s the hangup for teams.  Even if he’s good I think it’s assumed he’s not gonna coach well into his 70s so you probably are only getting 5-6 years of him then starting over 

     

    with the ‘he’s a failed head coach’ risk on the back of peoples minds I think the age thing is just one too many points against him

    All I know is that if Josh takes over this game, the MVP voters have to feel stupid. Giving a QB 3 MVPs and all pros when the dude hasnt made the superbowl and has only made 1 AFCCG. They made that by default for getting the 1 seed.

    They lost in the divisional as a 1 seed once though too 😂

    This game is definitely not bigger than the AFC title round imo. 

     

    If we lose to KC, nobody will care about beating Baltimore. If Baltimore loses to KC, nobody there will care about beating Buffalo. 

     

    This game is critical because it's the next step to the next round. 

     

    In the end, no SB win=a failed season. With Allen, that's just the way it is.

     

     

    Super Bowl appearances seem to be worth a little something but I largely agree.  This game is getting hyped up to be THE game of the playoffs but whoever wins will quickly get the ‘yea but they can’t beat mahomes’ treatment

    Bills fans make a living playing the victim.

    What credit should they get if they lose 3 straight divisional playoff games at home?

    What? Lol. I’m saying the bills beating the ravens suddenly won’t mean anything to anyone despite them being hyped up as the best team in the league and absolutely unstoppable all week if/when it happens .  

    im not saying they should get credit for losing to the ravens 😂

    The only way the bs talk ends is to win.   I hate to say it, Josh has to score 4 TD's and we have to beat them by 20 for everyone to STHU.

    Sad thing is the bills probably have to go back to back wins against Baltimore and KC to get any amount of credit at all lol the divisional will mean nothing once it doesn’t go all these analysts’ way

    How'd that work out for them?

    Lol truth.  Granted Detroit has well documented injury issues of their own I fully acknowledge that but if the bills weren’t way down the depth chart at a few defensive positions by the third quarter I think we blow Detroit out in that one and I don’t know how far behind Baltimore they are offensively if at all

    On the fence...

    Access to ticket for under $100

    Drive fuel $250

    Hotel (if not staying with family) $160

     

    Time: 19 hours driving

    I did that for the bills chiefs afc championship time wise (tickets were way more expensive),bills lost and I still had a great time if that counts for anything haha

    Exactly!  As though Henry is just this unmovable giant.   Yeah Milano will be there ..meet him in the hole.. and Henry will just run right over him because he’s just so big and strong no one on our team can even tackle him.  


     

    maybe that was Pittsburgh’s plan last week.  Don’t even try guys… you’ll just embarrass yourself.   ?  I mean that seems like it would be best, everyone just lay down. Don’t get hurt and let them score.  It’s the only thing you can do.  

    Pit legitimately seemed like they were trying to take the wrong guy on the read option as often as they could haha idk if they got overhyped trying to bottle up Henry or Lamar or what but something went very very wrong in the gameplan phase

    There is just so much at stake from a legacy standpoint. And if we win, Allen will have the exact same dynamic against KC. If he leads them to the SB, it pretty much cements him as a first-ballot HOF. He'll probably be one anyway eventually.

    It’s crazy how much is riding on each game in football…a Harbaugh loss in the divisional might put him in the hot seat much like a mcd loss might.  Huge stakes for players and coaches alike despite it being a single 60 minutes of football

    I heard Mike Golic on the radio today and he believes the Ravens lining up with 6- 300lb O-Lineman making room for Henry is something the Bills will not be able to stop (for what it is worth). 

    Scheming can only go so far when it comes to brute force. 

    I hope he is wrong.  

    When you start flooding the field with olinemen/fbs you make your intentions pretty clear.  Henry doesn’t really have crazy burst off the line either, if you start shooting those gaps in the run game you can definitely trip him up before he gets going it’s not impossible.  Bills really haven’t been bad in obvious running situations to my eye in fact we’ve made a bunch of short yardage stops this year it feels like.

    But you see why our situation is quite different. Andy Reid finally went out and got the best DC on the planet to get over the hump because his side of the ball wasn’t the problem.

     

    What do we do?

    Best DC on the planet is pretty strong recency bias.  Pretty sure the chiefs averaged 25+ ppg allowed in every playoff run up to last season.  That ain’t far off mcd numbers.  Really the only year he’s earned potential ‘best DC on the planet’ label is last year.  
     

    They haven’t had a playoff run where they didn’t have a game allowing over 30 until 2023. I really think 13 seconds is warping peoples memory a bit and like I get it that was horrible but godda*n you’re facing potentially  3 other teams with hof level qbs in the afc playoffs there’s gonna be games you need to drop 30+ no matter who your coach is and your offense is gonna need to make a play late to seal it.  Idk how bringing in another coach is gonna do much to change that fact.  I’m all for Josh Allen is the best player in the world type talk but mahomes, burrow, and Lamar are right behind even for believers of that 


    Difference is when the chiefs offense has needed a dagger to seal a game late in the playoffs they pretty much always come up with it.  Heck even Chad freakin henne came in and led a td drive in the playoffs to pick up an injured mahomes one year 😂

     

    Like yea the chiefs replaced DCs after losing to NE in the playoffs a few times (Reid’s offense also blew one and lost to pit 16-18), but Brady also left the conference haha I think that’s pretty significant to mention

    Our goal should be #1 in the NFL.  Better than the Chiefs.  Not proudly amongst the other franchises who took them down to the wire.

     


    To make the change, you absolutely need to acknowledge that things could get worse.  But staying the same, they also may never get better.  That is the dilemma.  Some fans are so afraid of going back to the drought days, they would be ok if we never got over the hump.

    Think about the Steelers.  Mike Tomlin has mastered the art of finishing above .500, making the playoffs and going no farther.  At what point do you demand more?

    Oh yea that’s the situation…as it stands I think the odds things get worse greatly exceed the odds things get better.  Pretty much anything can happen bringing in a first time head coach.  
     

    if we start losing not very close playoff games consistently or choke in the wildcard round, blow the division title etc the decision gets a lot easier/low risk but we’re not there yet imo.  If we lose a two score game to the ravens that’s certainly ammo for the fire side.

     

     

    I do think the regular season success vs kc is getting downplayed a bit personally which factors in.  They are mostly the same kind of games as the playoff ones with us making the 1-2 more plays that can swing a close game instead of them. Only difference is the sample size.  If these teams played eachother 20 times playoffs or not I think you’d end up with a pretty even split in wins.  People repeat ‘the chiefs don’t try in the regular season’ thing but the last two times we saw them they were fighting for an undefeated season and trying to deliver the killshot to knock us out of the playoffs.
