Agree. Ditch the nickel base defense and load the box.

You do know that KC won their division and is in the playoffs? The guy has two rings and won one of them on one leg. I have to laugh at people who have Allen rated ahead of Mahomes.

I agree 100% but that's a far cry from the out of gas excuse people want to peddle. Thanks! I thought I would get a lot of negative feedback. Just wondering how good do you think this team is now? This team scares me because it's so inconsistent. They can be really good or really bad. Even during this winning streak they haven't really been too impressive.

I'm not buying that for one minute John. I know many here want to buy into that narrative. Prior to the game there was never any indication that the team was empty, had nothing left, couldn't focus, drained, life less, psychology spent, etc... Not once did I hear, read, or see anything remotely close that indicated they had nothing left. In fact, the narrative in many instances was a complete 180. Many were saying this was a team of destiny. Signs galore win one for Damar. Damar was at the stadium! What a boost it would give the team and fans. Frenzied home crowd advantage. Bengals oline a shell of itself. The Bills would crush Burrow. Where was this nothing left in the tank theory? Didn't even hear any scuttlebutt about this. Even after the Miami game, what was the resounding theme. Gutted out a win even though they played poorly. Resilient team. Gotta play better. Nada about being flat or running out of football fuel. Not a peep. Did you hear anything? I heard was how McD was out coached. That was crystal clear. Prior to the game please go back on this message board and find me a poster who felt like the Bills would be flat, out of gas, unable to compete, etc ... I'll save you some time. It doesn't exist because the narrative was created after the fact. After they shi! the bed A narrative created after the fact that saw a Bengals team buzz saw through the termite infested Bills team. A coaching staff that had no game plan after getting waxed in a dress rehearsal weeks before. To this day, I have no idea what they were thinking. McD had to create this thesis to save face. His team was clearly unprepared, outclassed, and taken to the wood shed. Dorsey was as lost as ever. Frazier was as lost as ever. McD was as lost as ever. It was utter incompetence staying us in the face. Hard to swallow after the previous year's 13 second disaster. Trust your eyes not a false narrative. Go Bills!!!

I'll give you that Mahomes is better than Allen. I think Allen is a top 3 QB and match that with BB and I think that's a winning combination. I never implied Allen is as good as Brady. I do believe Allen is good enough to lead a Bills team to a SB with the right coaching. I think you are really selling BB short here. The guy is unquestionably a very smart football guy. What worked for him and Brady doesn't necessarily equate to him and Allen. I believe BB has the ability to adapt, get Allen weapons, protection, etc ...The guy is a proven winner with 10 freaking SB appearances and winning 6 of them. Of course, the argument will be it's all Brady but that's just not the case. It was a great marriage sort of speak. I firmly believe BB with his experience and a QB like Allen can lead the Bills to the SB within 3 years. I cannot say the same about McD. I wouldn't mind taking a shot with the soon to be winningest coach in the NFL who owns 6 rings. Feel free to disagree.

Was hoping you would provide some evidence. I guess not.

The players said all of that after they lost to Cinci. There was no such talk of that prior to the game. If so, go ahead and give me evidence of such. In fact, one could argue the opposite narrative. The Bills were a team of destiny due to Damar making a miraculous recovery. Win it all for Damar was a common theme. It's destiny and fate wasn't uncommon to hear. Bills playing at home!!! Huge home field advantage. Bengals oline depleted. Bills gonna smash Burrow. There was no fuc!!!!! talking of limping prior to the game. There was no talk of being gassed even after the Miami playoff win. Listen to Allen and the rest of the Bills afterwards. They talked about being resilient, winning is all that counts, and playing better. Not one Bills fan I know said the team looked gassed. They don't have anything in the tank. The season is basically over they are on fumes. Instead, it was a resounding theme of how the Bills were gonna smash the Bengals. A few dissenters caught hell for their differing view. Low and behold is that a common theme. Let's talk reality rather than an alternate reality that fits your views. The limping in shiiiiit is non sense. They just get beat by a better prepared team that is a bad match up for Buffalo. Not to mention the McD game plan was horrific. Who knows what happens in Sunday. I hope to the high heaven the Bills blowout the Steelers. If not, I'll take a win ugly. Just win!!!

That's really yet to be determined. Your opinion is duely noted but it's just that.

It's the opposite side of the ball that hurts. The wind can negatively effect the Bills passing game. That's where they have a clear advantage over Pitt. Do you really want the game to come down to a running game vs Pitt? I don't. They have been on a tear running the ball and it's not like the Bills have been consistent stopping it. D Jones will help though. IMHO, a clear weather game with minimal wind would be ideal. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen. They didn't limp in. They went on a winning straight similar to this year.

We will see. That was the same theme as last year until they lost. Then the flip of excuses suddenly appeared. Just saying...

That really hurts the Bills chances. Especially, the Douglas injury. Damn is right

They had one last year vs the Bengals.

You can get paid in BTC too.

Well said. I feel the same way. It's like ying and yang in my mind. Lol. Good one.

My point went right over your head. With Allen BB will likely bring the Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo. BB + Allen = Lombardi Trophy McD + Allen = 44% playoff record

Also, the Bills often come out of the gates slowly. They can't afford to do this on Sunday. The more I analyze this game the more this game scares me.

Can you see Allen fumbling? I think the Steelers will have a solid plan to contain Allen. I doubt they let him beat them with his legs. Of course, Allen is great at making plays.

There's always a chance of a letdown. Maybe the the team will be gassed from making the run into the playoffs. They have played 5 straight games of basically playoff football. At some point, that might take it's toll. What happened last year vs the Bengals. The team was gassed, emotionally spent, and had nothing. Of course, that was the theme after the fact. Lets get ahead of the narrative here.

Coaching is the most glaring reason why the Bills haven't reaching the SB under McD. No need to go back game by game to illustrate and support this claim. It's there for all of us to see. The only question is do you want see it, ignore it, or excuse it? I suspect Tomlin and the Steelers will out plan, out coach, out adjust the Bills. Hopefully, the Bills talent prevails over the inferior Steelers.

Got out of here. This is ridiculous!

Really? Put your feelings aside here. BB knows how to win! He's the GOAT! He'd bring immediate credibility to being a winner would instantly be felt in the locker one. Six Lombardi's and 10 SB appearances doesn't grow on trees. BB still has it. All he needs is a QB. BB+Allen=Lombardi Trophy. Can you say the same about McD? No no no no no and no. Six or seven years and counting with jack shi! This is a no brainier in my eyes. Only question is an offensive coordinator. Maybe McDaniels?

Interesting. Wondering if BB is interested in coaching the Bills? His defense would be just as good or better than McD's and we know what he did with an elite QB. That winning record and recipe is good food for Bills fans. The only way it happens is if the Bills lose this Sunday. Could be the silver lining. I'm still wanting a Bills win regardless.

The offense vs Miami was very good with the exception of turnovers and finishing in the red zone. Basically, the Bills stopped themselves more than Miami stopping us. The Bills had several plus 20 yard plays. Allen was 30-38 for 360125 yards. That's really good. The Bill rushed for over 125 yards. That's really good. I feel like in the right environment weather wise the Bills offense would be successful against Pitt. I have less confidence in a very windy, cold, and snowy atmosphere.

I think you just found the "out" if the Bills lose. It won't be McD's fault, the roster, player execution , etc... Rather it will be the weather. So hope this doesn't happen. Pitt has been pounding the rock well lately. Harris and Warren have looked very good down the stretch.

That's the scary part for me. That's right in Pittsburgh's wheelhouse.
