Thank jeebus.
He obviously wants to work with Josh Allen. That's our 2025 coach right there after mcdoormat blows another playoff game next season.
🤞
I very much doubt anyone is waiting for the bills hc job specifically to open up to get a promotion lol. I mean it might work out that way for him but I’m sure he’s not counting on it
he’s probably gambling that at least one guy on a pretty long list of good teams will fire their coach

Between Milano, Tre, and Von you had a lot of money tied up on the defense in players who were out or invisible. And we lost by 3.
I honestly thought von looked pretty good in that game ironically enough lol hard to fault beane for Milano, that’s a comfortable win if you replace Klein for Milano even if you allow the chiefs to bring back an injured player to match.
tre/douglas is a positive point for beane id say…he went out and found a guy every bit as good as tre that gave us a chance down the stretch

This teams problem isn't talent or coaching, it's Mahomes being slightly better than Allen with 0 margin for error.
I can get behind that…it sucks that this is now the 3rd playoff loss to them which you’d think would signal domination but the last two games have been extremely close and could’ve gone either way. The chiefs haven’t turned in a dominant performance against the bills in years

I’m still a little disappointed in the KC loss to have coherent Bills related thoughts, but the passing aspect worries. Brady actually did a good job, but we don’t know if he can scheme a reliable passing game. We scored points, and played good ball, but I don’t know if that’s a sustainable style long term.
That chiefs game was a gem by Brady imo. Our players just couldn’t hit on one big play with a multitude of opportunities. Felt like he had spags number in that game to me and the chiefs dodged a ton of bullets

What does “he wants everything under his control” even mean?People hate McDermott so much that they literally want our head coach to hire someone that will start a power struggle? Haha that’s legitimately insane

Just pointing out that the Bills have won the last 3 regular season games at Arrowhead. Yet come when it comes to facing them in playoffs, they fall short. Just very frustrating.
Oh yea I get where you’re coming from…I think it’s part coincidence though that we happened to lose two very close ones in the playoffs but I guess we shall see lol. The last two playoff matchups and the regular season game this year easily could’ve gone either way.

He needs to upgrade his scouts. His DL and WR picks have been abysmal overall. He MUST find legit WR's this draft and I'll go so far as to say a guy that can push Diggs. We still don't have Alphas on the DL. And I don't want to hear about Oliver. He showed up when chasing his 500k bonus. He completely disappeared against KC when it counted.
I feel like dlines disappearing in the playoffs needs to be taken with a grain of salt with how this entire playoffs was officiated. Every oline was holding like crazy and getting away with it

Just now, Gregg said:
Watch the Bills not only beat the Chiefs but blow them out next season when KC comes to Buffalo. Of course, the Bills will win because it's a regular season game.
I really don’t get this regular season being extremely different argument in a game that’s absolutely massive for playoff seeding. Those type of games are def treated like playoff games.

It is so frustrating we can beat the Chiefs the last three years in a row in the regular season and we’ve lost this many times to them in the playoffs. I know the Bills defense was really banged up, but we really shouldn’t make excuses.I really don’t think there’s a monumental gap between a huge regular season matchup and the playoffs honestly. I think the playoff sample size when the rosters were actually comparable is too small to make inferences based on (2020 the chiefs were a tier above the bills imo)
games between these two teams are a tossup now
-
Chiefs are just so clutch…it takes more than just a qb playing well you need defensive players to step up and role players coming up with huge plays.
I really wasn’t impressed with Andy Reid this playoff run honestly lol I think he got carried a bit. Don’t think he really added a ton of value. Doesn’t mean that’s true for the past though. They ran into two defenses absolutely ravaged by injuries and the ravens locked them up from midway through the second quarter on but the ravens offense bungled the game

Throw harbaugh in this sounds like ravens fans are done with him too lol

McCaffrey deserves it, but he won’t get it. Statistically, Allen is the most deserving of all the QBs.
The mvp award is ridiculous for this reason lol. Mccaffrey and tyreek def deserve it more than Lamar
its more the ‘what qb had a good enough season on the best team’ than who was the most valuable player

I think mcdermott showed the last 2 months he’s capable of evolving. But let’s see what he does this off-season. The Epenesa’s and light in the ass Defensive Ends are useless come playoff football. Hyde’s replacement needs to be a physical safety. I’d like to see a 1 tech upgrade to a guy like Reader. I like Douglas, Benford, Taron, and Poyer. Bernard and Milano are playmakers but undersized. Oliver is good but undersized too. All the defensive additions the off-season need to be stout, violent dudes. The defense needs to get bigger and more physical.
We’ve really gotta lean into the playoff officiating more…db holds and OL holds just aren’t really called and kc really pushes the envelope on trying to use it to their advantage. Small DEs are just gonna get held…receivers that aren’t very physical are gonna get held

Jackson has 1,600 yards more rushing in his career than Allen does. What difference does “decisive”, whatever exactly that even means, have to do with anything? Seems to me Lamar is pretty top notch when taking off with the football.
I’ve never heard anyone say that Lamar could be unbelievable if he only ran the ball better than he does now. I guess there is a first for everything,
You don’t know what decisiveness means when running the football? Lol ball carriers dancing around east/west instead of running downhill is a very common criticism. Lamar did it quite a few times yesterday in huge moments that really hurt his team.
I really don’t understand this board sometimes 😂. When we talk about Josh it’s ’yea he has gaudy stats but he can do things better’…cool I agree. But the Lamar take here was ‘look at his rushing stats could he really get any better?’ The answer is yes. He’s an absolute freak athleticism wise but he waits too long to take off and doesn’t recognize when he needs to just get downfield to bring up a 2nd/3rd and short rather than attempt to hit a huge running play. A lot of teams lose contain or are undisciplined and overrun their gaps while he’s dancing around which is what he counts on. Good defenses in the playoffs do not
Lamar was missing easy 5-7 yard scrambles all afternoon -
Just now, BuffaloRebound said:
We need a more violent downhill defense. Those are the defenses that perform in the playoffs. Players are banged up and the film is out there after 18 or 19 games. Undersized defenses that rely on confusing guys like Mahomes or even Burrow don’t hold up.
I think you’ve gotta play man and hold in the playoffs because it’s likely not getting called
chiefs got away with a lot of questionable grabs on big plays as they often do lol

I find it hard to judge the 2024 games simply because i think we all knew missing these guys was a lot to overcome.
Milano
Bernard
SpectorWhite
Benford
Phillips
With banged up players also playing
Dodson
Douglas
T. Johnson
DQ Jones
Starting a 3rd string LB, and a backup LB in a sling - neither of which can handle a player like Kelce on their best day. A CB with a knee injury, another coming off a concussion. Not to mention... the regular dings players pick up over the course of a long season. Just too much, KC caught us at the right time and their offensive line was able to pretty much dominate the LOS.
As much as we need a WR, we need a lot of help on the defensive line - and likely a pair of safeties. Von was a swing and a miss - and they can't really swing again til he's gone after next year most likely. 3T was oliver and no one. 1T was DQ and Joseph (both free agents).
Were beaten down by losing to kc in the playoffs so many times which is understandable but it’s honestly kind of crazy that game was close given the LB situation lol and not only was it close, we probably win if we make one more play. Klein got absolutely victimized all night
von was ironically really the only noticeable defensive player for me in that game 😂. Maybe there’s a shot he bounces back next season

Riiiight!That’s the thing about ‘if’s’.
They’ve never happened in reality.
Oh yea that was more a comment on how important one individual play can be. Diggs made a ridiculous catch earlier in the game but were only talkin about the drop lol

The trade was equal the first few years. You make it sound like the trade was bad. It worked out the way it was supposed to for both teams
People don’t really even think about the trade the right way imo…they didn’t get Jefferson straight up. They got an attempt to maybe draft Jefferson…Philly easily could’ve taken him and they would’ve been left with reagor

Worse part about the Chiefs going back to the Super Bowl is thinking they will have 28 mllion in cap space to get even better next season and we again missed our shot. Not only are we getting outcoached but KC front office has been crushing the draft and just filling that team with so many great young players meanwhile Beanne has us in Cap Jail locked into crazy deals for guys getting older and are no longer playing at a high level . White & Miller because of injuries and Diggs just getting old
28 million in cap space but a massive decision looming on Jones. There’s a good chance that team regresses big time if they can’t lock him up he’s every bit as impactful as mahomes.
I really don’t think we got outcoached in this recent game honestly. Bills were a drop away from beating the chiefs with freakin aj klein at linebacker 😂. Probably one of the biggest liabilities that was forced into action for any team this year. Pretty much a masterclass game by Brady they just couldn’t execute one big play out of a long list of attempts once kc had to creep up to stuff the running lanes
Reid absolutely pooped his pants with those timeouts before halftime gifting us 7 points…really wasn’t impressed with him at all in that one -

This was not the Chiefs “worst version of themselves.”
They have an elite oline.
An elite defense.
A legit RB.
Things they did not have in the other SB appearances.
We were just duped by their bad WR play - but they figured out Toney is a disaster, Rice just needed to figure it out, and just don’t feel like you have to score 30 every game bc you don’t. At all. Their D never allowed it.
It isn’t the best Chiefs team, but it’s close. The 2020 team that beat the 49ers probably their best team.
100% agree…people only care about offense for some reason though. They are as good as they have been in the past just winning a bit differently. Keepin my fingers crossed Chris jones takes a massive contract somewhere else
I don’t think purdy really stands a chance in this one

They didn’t stop him from getting to the Super Bowl. 4/5 years. We are unfortunately “also rans” to what may be the greatest dynasty ever.
I don’t think they’ll catch the pats…if Chris jones leaves the party’s over imo. he’s the glue holding that defense together…the division could tighten up for them if jones walks
4 minutes ago, HappyDays said:The Ravens defense stopped him 6 times yesterday. We have stopped him 4 times in 3 playoff games.
Go on. Pretend you meant something different.
We must be holding them to more fgs than other teams with only 4 total stops cuz we are not far off the chiefs average playoff ppg.

At this point it is on the Bills and Allen to make some deeper runs or they will be more Phillip Rivers, Marty Shottenheimer talk which is probably deserved. I feel bad for Allen because he has performed well enough to have won a couple more games, he is not the problem.
I’m hoping Chris jones gets greedy and walks I think that would shake things up a pretty great deal. All the talk is always about mahomes but that’s not really the full story
i think chiefs would be very beatable without him and Kelce is gonna call it quits while josh is still near his prime id think

I don't think Josh was any better, or 'misbehaved' less, under Daboll compared to Brady? He actually had some really poor games - the run in 2021 where he threw seven interceptions in four games, which included the 9-6 loss to the Jags and the Colts blow out, for example. Then, near the end of that season, he threw three interceptions against the Falcons. Luckily his legs saved him, and the Bills, then.
Everyone forgets how up and down 2021 was for Josh because of how it ended, but it was not great all the time by a long stretch.
The Daboll love completely confounds me lol I think they were even less consistent back then but people only remember that kc playoff game where much like the chiefs just picked on Klein all game with some starters out, we picked on Sorensen with some chiefs starters out. It wasn’t exactly rocket science on the part of the OC lol the dude is one of the worst safeties in nfl history

The OP has had it out for Oliver for years, it's become a crusade because his opinion won't change even after an All Pro-level season. Facts don't matter.
Turning to the actual topic - they definitely need a talent infusion but it was an either/or situation this year. Better coaching and better discipline and they still could've gotten past KC and perhaps Baltimore. Both Josh and Sean showed immaturity/fantasy-based decision-making at key junctures in the Divisional Round:
1) The fake punt - had no issue with the call itself, but I am like 85% sure that McD had visions of the articles that would be written about him if he successfully called Hamlin's number on a critical game-changing play.
2) The post-two minute warning offense - Allen had the game in hand by playing within structure and taking what the defense was offering, then came back from the two minute warning determined to win the game by himself. No doubt he had visions of a walk-off TD pass. Instead, it was season over.
Both Allen and McD need to grow from that last game. And they need more talent, there's no question about it. It's both.
2 is a little ridiculous imo…they had to claw for every single inch on that last drive. It wasn’t the smooth sailing your claiming it to be at all. Kc defense was very stout all second half. If you’ve got a wide open td I don’t think you can pass that up honestly. That underneath throw to diggs almost assuredly brings up a 4th down attempt
if he threw some kind of 50/50 jump ball on that second down play then I’d agree with that take a little more but he absolutely made the right read there imo
if Dawkins holds up like 0.2 seconds more we probably win that game

This is def all true but I’d argue we’re better on paper than them nowadays so this doesn’t really disprove op either
I do think if we had one starting caliber lb we win pretty easily in the playoffs this year although I do understand the no excuses mentality…the offense was very impressive vs kc, kc just pulled off some quick scores picking on Klein all the way down the field
