Semi regularly haha thats the mark of an elite coach right there. Its honestly pretty amazing what McDermott has been able to do with the team and cap situation he inherited. The dude completely turned the roster over. Even Andy Reid who had much more head coaching experience didn't make it past the divisional round of the playoffs until his 5th season in KC I think the part of the op people are arguing is 'he won't ever be an elite coach' the jury is still very much out on that one but he is trending in that direction. He got a few coach of the year votes last season so obviously he's getting some national attention. This season results wise could surpass last year against a much more difficult schedule

Were no Kansas city chiefs though so our team isn't good haha thats all this is. If we were winning games like our game against the rams every week where we gave up a big lead then needed a miraculous game winning drive to win the game id be more inclined to agree with these people but alot of these games have been comfortable victories that made people nervous because of painful flashbacks of past bills teams blowing games 🤣 we wouldve had two wins like that if we had pulled out the cardinals game which seems pretty average and would not be enough to classify most of our wins as magical unsustainable wins lol the dolphins game we went down late in the 3rd quarter and immediately took the lead back if im remembering correctly. Not to mention that ridiculous rams comeback was aided by one of the worst calls in nfl history lol. Were not any luckier than any other team...fumbled bounced our way in the pats game...we got a tricky tack pi call in the rams game...but also on the flipside we got beat by an absurd hail mary in the cardinals game. The chargers hail mary was not even remotely close to the cardinals one...it didn't reach the end zone and they had to race down the field to either spike the ball or run a play.

Jets took the patriots aka 'the team thats apparently going to go on a magical run and knock us out of the playoffs' down to the wire haha

Honestly what even is prove it mode...like do you think our team should be scoring meaningless touchdowns against someone like the Seahawks rather than running out the clock so fans feel better about the team lol chargers had to covert on 4th down like 6 times and recover back to back fumble just to keep that game within striking distance...they hung on by a thread? The game was never even tied 🤣

Pats going 3-0 in that rams-dolphins-bills stretch is extremely doubtful...its just as likely the jets get their one win of the season against the pats lol how does your positive version have us losing a game were favored to win and Miami beating the raiders haha I wouldnt be surprised if the pats magical run at winning out ends against the chargers next week 🤣

Yea it really doesn't sound like something any coach would say to begin with lol that post was more 'if he said that he's stupid' 🤣 im sure he's going to play the guy that gives them the best chance to win and a hobbled Jimmy G may not be the guy

I came here to say this and you already said it! 😄 nfc isn't anywhere near as strong as the afc this year...bucs could sneak into the Super Bowl and get thrashed by KC again thats really not the craziest prediction to make lol I dont think Tampa was a good choice for Brady as far as him fitting into the offense goes...they are still probably his best chance to win a Super Bowl though.

Not sure he can say we can win with anyone at qb when they can't really win consistently with mullens at qb 🤣 theyre a one dimensional team that i would expect the bills to be favored against. Shanahan is in no position to hold out players that could help him win against us imo.

This might be a hot-ish take but I think the traveling is more of what makes away games tough than the crowd noise

Good teams win when everything is going wrong thats why they are good teams 🤣 bad teams fold when things stop breaking their way. We were that bad team for years and I dont think people know how to handle us not being that team anymore and are just waiting for that team to return lol

Lol seriously...how do we know the bills couldve developed mahomes the same way Andy Reid did. Even if the bills drafted him we couldve gotten a very different mahomes and rushed him into a starting role

The saints are hardly winning pretty...they got taken to OT by this same chargers team that we are supposedly failures for not beating by more lol. They beat the panthers by 3 and then the bears by 3 in the following weeks

This is exactly what I've been saying 🤣 these great teams we are saying we're not as good as win these ugly games all the time. We're comparing ourselves to the chiefs and saying we are not playoff caliber but who is when thats the measuring stick lol

You need a generational type talent at rb to overcome poor offensive line play

I mean they got manhandled by Joey bosa and fumbled twice in a row and the refs seemingly had a large sum wagered on the chargers winning and we still moved the ball and won pretty comfortably. The chargers are no slouch I think the game today was more encouraging than some others think.

If they played right now you may be right but the season doesn't end right now lol if the bills defense keeps improving they will be scary in the playoffs. Today's effort was encouraging the chargers have been rolling on offense

Thats certainly understandable but how do previous bills teams have anything to do with what this current team can do going forward this season... I keep seeing 'same old bills' posts every time an opposing team scores in the game day threads but we end up holding leads and finishing games unlike those bills of the entire last decade 🤣 clearly things are changing. Were assuming we are getting lucky and will start losing close games simply because bills teams of old did? It makes zero sense. This team is more likely to improve going forward than start losing close games ...the defense has been playing far below its potential. Likely because we had quite a few new pieces that couldn't get acclimated as easily due to the covid debacle.

Can someone explain to me why we should beat a team that historically never loses by multiple scores by multiple scores lol I keep seeing this in every thread and I just dont get it...we played the chargers tougher than anyone has all season. It took two back to back fumbles to keep this from a blowout. Is it simply because they're 3-7?

Honestly how were we flat? Do fans have an amount of points in mind that we have to meet? Joey Bosa obliterated us. I think this is unrealistic expectations on our part to be honest...quite a few of these games where we 'squander' leads we actually lead wire to wire and win lol no one is in the same league as the chiefs they are pretty close to '07 patriots good I respect that...I mean some people will view those back to back fumbles as poor execution that the team might continue and some will see it as a fluke. Were trying to project future outcomes based on the game today and the huge question mark for us being competitive has been the defense and they did their job.

Bills have been weak defensively all season and they finally stepped up against a good offensive team. They're not going to fumble on back to back drives every game. They made mistakes and still won quite comfortably. That is exactly what good teams that are perennial playoff contenders do.

That 3-7 team has not lost a game by more than one score all year...they lost two games by more than one score all season last year. And we were expecting a blowout?

Honestly the chargers are as competitive as all those teams excluding the steelers...I dont think they've lost a two score game all season until today.

Aren't we the best 4th quarter team in the NFL though 🤣

That pass didn't look like it was caught up high to me it looked like the receiver plucked it out of the pile of defenders somehow but I'd have to see it again

Defense played great which was the big flaw heading into this game...2 fumbles were pretty flukey and they still won by two scores
