Bills won't stop helping Kansas City. Already got them a couple SB's with the Mahomes gift. Now, they have provided them a T. Hill replacement. One team I would never trade with-- the Chiefs. Just mind-numbing.
And they leave the 1st round with no receivers-- in a round where 7 were taken. There are a lot of receivers in the draft, but I don't think anyone left is a potential #1 (maybe Mitchell-- but he doesn't seem ready to take on that role immediately).
Really looking forward to the 5-7 round landfall the Bills have put together.
You mean landfill right? Cuz apparently most of the end of this draft is filled with garbage. But at least we gots tons of picks!!

Yes I think so. Diggs, Shakir and Kincaid are better than many think. You will see a vet probably but at the right price.
I think it’s fair to assume Kincaid will ascend. With Shakir, who knows? He came on late, but Robert Foster (or was it Forster, the guy from Jackie Brown) was exciting for a minute as well and he ended up being an absolute nobody.
Diggs, I think people are just being too hopeful. Dude fell the f uck off at the end of ‘22 and ‘23. Claims to be “him” yet when he had the chance to show us in the post season it slipped thru his hands. Maybe at one point he was THE difference maker, but I don’t see any more Minneapolis Miracles coming from him anytime soon.

He made significant impact on special teams and because he was traded mid-season he did not have time to be integrated into offense.
Yep. He didn’t have time to be integrated into the offense.Err….uh….

We love to the underdog player so much that we hate change because the 1 of 20 guys we held on to ends up making himself a pro bowl career.
embrace change and a new player, not everyone is meant to be here 4+ years.
This is almost exactly what I was thinking during the Gabe Davis discussion l. -

I was just curious and looked it up.
We had the 28th Best Special Teams last season.
Well done.
Yeah but what would we do without Tyler Matakevich and Siran Neal and whoever the f uck? How can we win without them?-

Ha...not the reason I come to this board, but no one is more stuck on a QB's nuts than Bills fans and Allen. Now imagine if he had 3 rings and two MVPs in six seasons.
So now you’re here to play “I know you are but what am I?”And no, at least in my case I am not obsessed with a twentysomething I’ve never met who plays football. I feel no need to defend how great he is, nor do I post Twitter posts about how great he is every hour.
I love football but I have to admit that the way people have based their identities on these guys is creepy. When I see things like this guy who goes to another teams board to do whatever it is this “Saul” guy who doesn’t use his real name does, or I see people on Twitter posting 50 times a day about Tua/Josh/Pat/whoever it’s just pathetic. It confirms to me that this stuff is their life. It’s sad.

Also, imagine being so stuck on the nuts of a twenty something man that you go message boards to defend his “honor.”
And by the way, the lack of respect you show for father of the year Andy Reid is horrifying. It’s not all Patrick and I for one am disgusted that you give all the credit to him.

I did see some posters voicing concern about the injury to Bernard and such in various threads, but if you pull up the pregame predictions thread, you'll see that almost everyone predicted the Bills to win. Most by multiple scores.
WAIT!Wait, wait, wait!
You saw that fanatical fans of a football team were super hopeful that their team was gonna kick ass before a big game, hoping against hope that this was gonna be the time it FINALLY happened? Yeah, definitely disrespecting Drunk Pat Sr.’s son. See, now that is disrespect.

I've seen posters here talk about the disparity in coaching between the 2 teams, and how that's a big factor in the accomplishments so far between Allen & Mahomes.
That's just factual. It's not "not crediting" Mahomes and/or not thinking he's still a great QB.
Unless you think Mahomes deserves 100% credit for everything?
Saul thinks Reid is overrated! He doesn’t think he deserves any credit. How disrespectful to the greatest coach of all time. Disgusting.-

There are a lot of people here that pull the "no respect" card, but I'm not one of them. Sure, some people are too salty to give credit to Mahomes, but he gets plenty of credit from experts and talking heads.
Name names. Who are these posters on this board who think Travis Kelce and Andy Reid and their defense are dragging Mahomes lifeless corpse past the finish line? I’d love to know. At this point I know I’m wasting my time arguing with somebody who is trolling me, but o well. -

I'm not rubbing anything in anybody's face and I've had plenty of encouraging things to say about the Bills and Allen (I.E. that he and Mahomes are in a tier of their own, he'll get at least one ring, the Bills roster and coaching staff are better than many think, etc).
But I get it. You hate the big, bad Chiefs and all their fans, so it doesn't really matter what we say.
No I just think you’re making things up and doing a lot of bullshitting. There are a handful of Chiefs fans on here who don’t make things up, who don’t want to relitigate refs decisions in old Super Bowls, and who don’t want to pull the old Dangerfield “no respect” routine. And I think most of the board enjoys the conversation that they bring. -

It's the same every year or close to it. Bills fans have this innate thing where they get attached to players, esp. mediocre ones. (and I am betting someone is going to reply to this post with stats or something trying to validate that Gabe isn't mediocre). Gabe posting those stats means he knows, and more importantly, so does his agent, that he isn't a #1 and not even a damn good #2. If you are that good, you don't have to post that, you just say "look at the film". The film on Davis shows great inconsistency and a limited route tree. BUT...someone will pay him big bucks and I don't blame him for taking the money at all.
But we MUST find a #2 who can take over as #1 at some point who has a damn good route tree, and can be reliable consistently.
Exactly. Ja’Maar Chase doesn’t have to post that video. Justin Jefferson doesn’t. Stef Diggs doesn’t.Obviously this is a case of “thou Gabe doth protest too much.” He wouldn’t have to post all these stats if he truly were a high level receiver. It’s kinda like all these Dolphin fans I see on Twitter everyday posting comparisons of Tua and other QBs showing how “elite” Tua is. If he was truly elite, they wouldn’t have to be posting this stuff all the time.

I couldn’t care less what Bengals fans are doing.
Yet you care a heck of a lot what Bills fans think, kickin’ it here with us less than 2 weeks after your team won the Super Bowl. So yeah I assume you do care a lot about what Bengals fans think.
By the way, when my favorite baseball team, the Yankees were winning World Series, I gotta admit my first thought wasn’t, “I wonder what the fans on the Red Sox and Orioles forums think.” And that is probably because, once again, I enjoyed the victory and didn’t have any need to rub it in the faces of the conquered teams, nor did I have a Rodney Dangerfield type obsession with the “respect” my team got. But hey, you do you Odenkirk.

He had made a nice leap in 2021. If not a massive yard gainer, he racked up 9 TD in the regular season and 2 more vs the Patriots in the playoffs which put him in a logjam of T-9th in touchdowns that year (would have been solo 8th this year).
If he'd continued the trend, the money he was signed to would have been a bargain, and it would have been a successful case of retaining drafted talent.
However, between his brother's deaths and injuries it hasn't worked out. He still might bounce back and have his contract worth renegotiating next year. So, not Von bad.
No, it’s bad. And him making more money than Travis Kelce is just inexplicable in any scenario. He’s now a backup tight end. It’s a horrendous contract. And what is a “bounce back” season from a backup tight end? Five TD and 400 yards? For 14 million bucks? Get the ***** outta here. This was a historically bad contract, and even though I’m not a huge fan, Schopp called it from day one.Seriously, out of our tight ends last year, he and Quentin Morris had the same amount of game changing plays. One. One for Morris against the Giants (a game we might’ve lost thanks to Dawson dropping what would’ve been a game clincher). And yes he had a bad wrist. Well guess what? If you’re so beat up that you literally can’t do what you’re paid to do, then don’t play,
Our number one tight end play demonstrably better without Knox in the lineup. It sucks cuz Dawson truly does seem like an awesome guy, but he’s truly a JAG as a football player, and we’ve tied up superstar money in him.

Well said. The Knox contract is right up there. You can get his play style/stats from an average backup. Pays to be Josh Allen’s buddy.
Seriously of all the bad contracts, the Knox one is just astoundingly bad. We all talk ***** about the Von Miller deal (I sure am) but there wasn’t many of us complaining until the ACL injury. We just had the classic Buffalo Bills luck with that one. But with Dawson it’s just inexcusable. Seriously what did Beane or anybody see that made them think a 14 million plus salary in 2024 made sense?-

How miserable do you have to be to get this upset over a few tame posts?
I'm not miserable in the slightest about perceived slights. I was just pointing out the irony of someone calling me insecure, when this entire board has been dripping with insecurity for weeks. What does a KC fan have to be insecure about right now? Mahomes and Reid are now being mentioned in the GOAT conversation (Kelce too), they went back to back in what were supposed to be rebuilding years, and with the right moves, could have their best team ever next year. That's not bragging or rubbing it in....I'm just laughing at the notion that I or KC fans in general are insecure. I'm not sure the fanbase has ever been more secure.
Yes, the board is probably insecure. Probably having to do with the fact that our team is never gonna win a Super Bowl despite having one of the best QBs around.But anyways, hey Saul, here’s the deal…
If we need you, we’ll call you. Or Walt and Jesse can go and kidnap you. Otherwise, we’re cool! Thanks for your time. -

LOL. I'm well aware that there are some Bills fans here that give credit to KC, but whatever you say. The "insecure" comment is funny. Every other thread on here is downplaying the Chiefs' success to prop up your team, whining about alleged media opinions of Allen and the Bills, convincing yourselves that KC only beats the Bills due to luck and/or injuries, freaking out over Nick Wright's latest comment, etc.
Do you really get to mock the topics on the board when...uhhh....you're on here contributing to the topics. On, as I mentioned before, a board dedicated to a team you don't like. A week and change after your team won the Super Bowl. I usually don't do this online, cuz it's all just play for the most part, but seriously how miserable can your life be if you need to come to a Buffalo Bills football forum to complain about lack of love on said board for a 28 year old bazillionaire who plays for your team? Like, WHO GIVES A SH!T? Go enjoy your teams success and stop concerning yourself with perceived slights. I know if my team won the Super Bowl, I wouldn't be going to other teams forums doing this. Actually if my team were 0-17 I wouldn't do it either, because once again, WHO THE SH!T cares?!

You are just making things up. Nobody is tearing down KC or anything. At the very best, maybe there are some who think the Bills may have had better luck if they had less injuries, but literally nobody thinks KC got "lucky" against the Bills. They've beaten them 3 times in the postseason.
This whole "fuel yourself by claiming disrespect*" is an odd product of the 2020s. It's odd. The Chiefs have a dynasty. I don't recall Jordan and the Bulls and their fans claiming disrespect in the '90s, nor do I remember Jeter and the Yankees whining about how nobody gave them the respect the deserved. But then again, we are in an era where both sides of the political divide constantly do their very best to show you how put-upon they are and why you should feel sorry for them. It's this oddly American theme of look how hard the odds were stacked up against me, and how the media hated me, and my mom threw me out on the street, but look at me now. I'm on top.
(NOTE: This isn't really a controversial political opinion since it blatantly exclaims how both sides are so guilty of it!)

First of all, mediocre is relative. And I added "stretches"...not necessarily entire seasons of mediocre play. Sometimes they would stumble out of the gate for a month or so. In 2014, NE started 2-2 with two double digit losses, including a 41-14 loss in Arrowhead in which Alex Smith's Chiefs made them look like the worst team in the league. They went on to win the SB. In 2018, they lost to several mediocre teams, including three blowouts. Went on to win the SB.
What? Mahomes' defense allowed 36 points in that game. I'll agree that there was nothing special about the throws at the end of regulation, except for the fact that there was a hell of a lot of pressure not to screw up with 13 seconds left in your season. And the fact that Mahomes is a perfect 7 of 7 in those situations in the playoffs. I'd say that's kinda special.
Let's talk about some of Allen's throws. Was there anything special about throwing to a WIDE open Gabe Davis multiple times as DBs were falling down or blowing coverages? There's a pretty blatant double standard here. When Allen throws to a guy with no DB within a mile, he's Superman. When Mahomes does it, it's nothing.
Mahomes had to be almost perfect in that game to get the win. Completed 75% of his passes, 447 total yds, 4 TDs, averaged 10 yards per run, punted once against the #1 rated defense. The Bills punted 4 times vs a mediocre defense, and people act like Allen was perfect while Mahomes had a huge margin for error.
You guys say that Mahomes' defense always steps up in the playoffs while Allen's does the opposite, and yet....36 points to the Bills, 35 points to the Eagles, 37 to NE, 31 to Tampa, 31 to Houston, 27 to Cincy, and others in the mid 20s. If Mahomes' defense actually did consistently step up in the postseason, he may have never lost a postseason game. And imagine KC's regular season records if the defenses didn't stink it up so often throughout the year.
Oh shut the f uck up. Your team just won the Super Bowl and every in the media licks Mahomes nuts. Lay off with the whole "nobody respect my team" thing.

You’re talking about a regular season game. He lost a regular season game…..so that means that he hasn’t improved?
by the looks of it, you should find a different past time. This might be too much for you to handle.
Yes, he lost a regular season game because he couldn't count. A regular season game that very well could've kept us out of a playoff spot.
Also, where has he improved? Clock management? Did a hell of a job with that against KC in the divisional round, that's for sure. Whatever he's learned about getting the most out of his defense in the playoffs hasn't amounted to *****-all. Every time a McDermott defense encounters a QB better than Skyler Thompson or Mason Rudolph in the playoffs, they get absolutely lit the ***** up. On aggressiveness, sure, I'll give you that, he's seemed to get a bit ballsier, at least against Miami. He gave the ball to his best player and had him win it for us. Against KC, apparently he thought we were in a Disney movie and that Damar was gonna score a touchdown on the fake and that the team was gonna carry him off the field on their shoulders as people wept in the stands.
Seriously, McDermott thought our best course of action was to have Damar Hamlin run a fake punt. Don't put the ball in Josh Allen's hands, or even a player with some special talent. No, let's put it in career backup Damar Hamlin's hands cuz it woulda been such a beautiful moment.
By the looks of it, Sean should have to find a new job. It's definitely shown it is too much for him to handle.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to see where he's at before cutting him. He was an vital piece of our defense pretty much since he's been drafted and has been nothing short of a great leader back there, I think he deserves better than "let's cut his ass now". The hot takes are running wild on here!!!
Does the team have the money to sit back and see what they have with him now? I don't think they do. We can't just leave things as they are and hope things are better in August. That's how you end up with more Trent Sherfield's and Deonte Harty's at skill positions. The team needs to explore every option to bring in better talent, and since we have two starting outside cornerbacks, I can't see how it'd be smart to bring back a player who was so noticeably skittish about coming back from his ACL injury, and then performed like a joke when he finally came back later that season. We can just hold onto Tre in the hope that after a tough 2024, he's gonna come out of the other end as the old version of himself in 2025. And even if that's the best case scenario, that's not close to good enough. That would basically mean we were paying this man top dollar for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 to either sit on the bench or play like *****. Let's let him go and thank him for being a great guy. He can go be a great guy for the NY Giants as he's getting smoked by AJ Brown. We don't need him in his current state for the amount of money he costs. Or really at any cost considering the guy hardly plays, and has played like absolute ass most of the games he's been in since his injury.
34 minutes ago, uticaclub said:He may not receive a high salary on the free market, so he might accept a pay cut to stay with Buffalo and remain in the familiar system while he continues to recover.
Sure and if he accepts a highly reduced rate that allows us to make other moves fine. But if he doesn't want to, they better be able to make that so called "tough decision" pretty easily.

Wow, didn’t think you would double down after that first obnoxious post. Interesting strategy.
Seriously who gives a *****? Tre White surely don't. He's been paid handsomely to play football. And unfortunately he isn't able to play football when we need him most. Therefore, there's the door Tre. Let's use the money they'd otherwise pay him to find somebody who will be helpful next January. I don't see what him being "an outstanding representative of the team" brings to a team when opposing offenses are gaining almost 10 yards a play on them in the playoffs.

This post is almost incomprehensible to me.
It's a pre-2004 Red Sox fan post.
"Buffalo will never win a major sports title. Take that to the bank." What the heck is that? If you want to speak something into existence, have at it. I choose to believe will end up w/ a winning record in Super Bowls at 5-4.
Why? I see no reason to believe the Bills will ever win anything. We don't get the breaks that the Patriots and the Chiefs of the world get. We have the QB we've always been waiting for, and we get a coach that doesn't know that you squib kick it with 13 seconds left. We have a coach and his former defensive coordinator who didn't think after that squib kick, despite calling a timeout, that maybe it's useless to guard the sidelines when the team on offense has time outs. Maybe it's a curse, maybe our team can't hire the best cuz the team is located in sad sack Buffalo, New York. I don't know what it is. We draft James Cook in the second round, and he will drop 4 out of 5 sure TD passes. KC draft Pacheco in the seventh, he looks like he runs through a brick wall every time he gets the ball. They have Travis Kelce who can have the most pedestrian regular season, and will catch anything thrown his way in the playoffs. We have drama queen Stefon Diggs who demands the ball, but who is nowhere to be seen when crunch time comes. It's just the way it is. it isn't going to change. It is what it is. I'll be excited when we're 5 and 2 next year, then I'll be disappointed when we're 7 and 5, and then excited again when we end up with the number 3 seed, only lose to Houston in the divisional round. And I'll do it all over again, because I can't help myself.
The Bills, the Lions, the Browns, etc....these teams will never win. You can feel it in your bones. We all knew at 24 to 7 in the NFC Championship game that another shoe was gonna drop and that the Lions would blow it.
For all those who are so comfortable in saying Allen will get one, stop lying to yourselves. It is NEVER EVER going to happen. Things like that don't happen in Western New York. Apparently we don't deserve it. But some pricks in Missouri do.
