I mean if we’re nitpicking to that level I think we gotta talk about how improbable that James Harrison 100 yard INT return was before halftime in tomlin’s superbowl win haha Pretty sure the cardinals got hosed by the refs in that one also although admittedly I don’t remember it too well

2024 rapp actually was a big loss haha he didn’t play against the chiefs in the playoffs. Gets overshadowed by benford going down crazy early

Was just gonna say that haha…Tomlin who wasn’t even involved in the selection of roethlisberger at all has been what everyone is afraid mcd will be post Josh for almost a decade now and he’s still there 😂

Tomlin took over a roster that recently won a Superbowl because the previous coach retired. Not really trying to discredit everything he’s done but it’s not like he righted the ship of a failing franchise. Mcd and Tomlin comparisons are apples and oranges…once the roster from the cowher days was mostly turned over Tomlin won nothing.. Tomlin wasn’t even around for the selection of his franchise qb so he kinda deserves even less credit than mcd in that regard lol

I think Stefanski is a better fit not sure if hes gonna survive this offseason or not though

Jags would never take that even if they were actively open to trading him which I still don’t believe. I think it’s more ‘someone called on BTJs availability and Jax said sure if you give us an arm and a leg he’s available’

As much as I think Brady is meh he’s kinda one of the biggest HC prospects by default haha. The guys available seem really underwhelming. He’s underwhelming too but probably could argue he’s the least underwhelming lol

Has a gm ever been fired midseason without firing the coach? This feels weird to me but it might not be lol

Felt like they bottomed out for awhile and then had a ton of resources for a full rebuild mcdaniel’s first season. He was bad obviously but I can kinda see how he hung around. Probably got the ‘tua injury excuse’ for a year or two and then when tua was healthy and they were still regressing badly Grier got the axe

Tyreek definitely made tua and probably would’ve made any decent qb they started…feels like tua would get injured which would force in a terrible qb that played bad and they’d say ‘see? We need to keep tua’ 😂 feels like Miami went the ‘fit a decent qb on a modest contract into a stacked offense’ route but forgot the modest contract part lol

I’ve always said that haha I saw a lot of bills fans on social media talking up the ravens offense last night but if that exact performance was us, bills fans would be saying 4 three and outs in the first half against a bad team we’re doomed! Lol

Ravens with Lamar and all their other starters week 1 is gonna shake out to being a great win id imagine.. I think Miami is still pretty bad but a much better flavor of bad with tyreek playing as well 😂. So looking at our opponents current records midseason isn’t always a perfect system.. obviously it’s fine to do with like the jets and saints this is a weird year so far…colts might coast to the 1 seed so if the bills end up a wildcard team because NE capitalized on a much easier schedule it won’t sting as bad as it could’ve. Then next year NE will get stuck with those harder ‘matching division placement’ games (idk if there’s a good name for those haha). If we’re assuming the bills fell off a bit, NE has the easiest schedule I think I’ve ever seen. Giants instead of eagles and raiders instead of chiefs is wild 😂. 2 of their games went from two of the best teams in the league for us to two of the worst for them based on last years results In the cursed scenario where NE wins the division and we’re a wildcard, it might even be us playing them in the first round so there will likely be an immediate ‘revenge’ chance where no one even cares who won the division

Commanders covered up the designed plays pretty well but I don’t think they had enough experience against kc to know how they like to adjust their routes in the scramble drill type situations though it was a really interesting game last week…as bad as the result ended up being I don’t think they were too far off from having a good defensive game if that makes any sense 😂 Yea they would…doesn’t really mean much of anything when the teams have a rematch against eachother and different amounts of games played anyway

It’s giving me pretty strong dolphins vibes…I think the pats floor is pretty good though while the dolphins got figured out and just couldn’t adapt. Someone is gonna pick up on some tendencies with their offense and they’re gonna hit a rough patch I think

Yea I gotta think Hawes is far surpassing even what their expectations were.. if they knew they’d get Hawes the next year and he’d look this good this quick maybe they would’ve handled the Keon pick differently idk

To me it seems like this whole heavy set/pound the run stuff was done primarily with the chiefs in mind. the chiefs grabby secondary/blitz heavy approach doesn’t really have much trouble at all with stopping any combination of WRs I’ve seen and comes up with so many big plays in big moments…they’re probably the best pass defense in the league. Feels like every time a team crosses midfield on them they get a huge turnover or sack so they give up some yards but very little points we’ll see how this weekend goes but playoffs last year the bills ran up and down the field on them for a lot of the game and that was before adding a good blocking TE. It wasn’t like there were WRs they had to respect last year either lol

Keon seems like a really good run blocker to me so he’ll probably get a pretty long leash. Obviously you can’t keep a guy like that around too long if he gives you nothing in the passing game though but I’d expect him to keep getting snaps this regular season at least. Funny enough I feel like Gabe was kinda the same deal haha Gabe would honestly probably still be here on his first stint if there wasn’t a team that would overpay him I don’t think fans take wr run blocking seriously but the bills definitely seem to…I don’t think it’s by chance they’ve had Gabe, Mack hollins and Keon the last few years

The ebb and flow of nfl roster construction is pretty interesting…I think we’re at a point where most defenses just don’t have the personnel to stop a team that can run it well out of heavier sets because everyone went all in on rushing the passer / taking the passing game away. I really think the bills are kinda doing what puts the most pressure possible on the opposing defenses and fans just aren’t entertained by it. Of course we should definitely add a wr…not disagreeing with that, but all this general hate for a good running game is pretty wild to me. If the chiefs had this in their bag of tricks I don’t think they’d ever lose

There’s definitely truth to both sides…bills need a receiver and most people underestimate what a good running game can do/take it for granted.. it’s definitely hyperbole to phrase it as ‘bills don’t have a receiver problem’ though lol like I get they value heavier sets/receivers that can block well but you need to be getting at least some juice out of these guys in the passing game

The commanders game was interesting they took away a ton of the designed plays and the chiefs offense was just very well executed improv when the initial play was taken away. thats why pressure is so important against those guys

I still think he’s just smarter about taking hits in the regular season tbh. If he’s got a lane to get a decent chunk of yardage and slide he’ll take it. Or if the game is going poorly and we’re in danger of losing. Our two losses he had 6 carries for 42 yds and 9 carries for 53 yds.. average of those two is 47.5 rushing yards per game and a whole season of that is over 800 rushing yards. Even with this new philosophy of minimizing injury risk he’s still on pace for his average season rushing yardage total

They haven’t had a bye yet which is probably effecting things if you’re lookin at total yardage…a big chunk of teams ahead of them in rushing yards allowed have only played 7 games. Ignoring the bills game, panthers are averaging 92.57 rushing yards allowed per game which would be 7th right now. With the bills game included their 16th with 111.6 yards allowed per game

Hunter and BTJ are big names but two of the worst receivers I’ve watched in the league this year tbh. Granted hunter is playing two positions and brand new to the league. Really not sure what’s going on down there lol they are definitely buffalo bills-coded right now 😂 hearing people describe guys like meyers as mediocre then saying we should trade the farm for BTJ are giving me heart palpitations. legette is horrendous. honestly BTJ, legette and hunter have gotta be in the bottom 5 of PFF if I had to guess haha I gotta go fact check myself

I think people read a little too much into that personally. Every game vs the chiefs comes down to 1-2 super high impact plays and in the regular season we’ve been making those plays and playoffs we haven’t. Both teams will do things a little differently in the playoffs regardless of whether they win or lose this game last year we couldn’t run the ball with rbs at all in the regular season and come playoff time we were running pretty much at will for a lot of the game. Never really saw anyone run on the chiefs defense like that. Regular season they were down a corner and we just picked on the replacement too can’t remember exactly who it was. Then in the playoff game we were down the corner and they picked on our replacement lol the running game between the two games was like night and day different it’s actually pretty interesting…regular season the non josh runners had 19 carries for 49 yds 2.6ypc. Playoff game they had 21 carries for 108 yds 5.1 ypc. There’s this weird idea that if a team has a good game running the football that the defense just wasn’t trying to stop it. Bills ran the ball much better in the playoff game compared to the regular season last year bad receivers and all lol I sincerely doubt the playoff chiefs defense just didn’t care about stopping the run for a lot of that one the running game feels so underappreciated I’m always surprised by it 😂 teams make adjustments to their rushing offense week to week but it feels like most fans treat it as they just do the same thing over and over again and the defense just lets them

Not trying to say he’s a world beater by any means but meyers would be as good as any outside wr we’ve had in Josh’s tenure outside of prime Diggs…even late Buffalo Diggs had more of a slot skillset I’d say im glad the fans don’t run the team haha turning down meyers is kinda crazy. Like yea sure having aj brown would be better than meyers obviously but a lot of these hypothetical trades for great players don’t make financial sense for either team and are wildly unrealistic
