Who is doing that? I think the board has been pretty fair about the upcoming game.

After the Denver loss I was off the McD train. After 13 seconds I couldn’t contemplate having 12 men on the field that cost us the game. After the last 6 games I’m firmly back on (I never thought he would be fired even at 6-6)
McD should be up for coach of the year. He took a team that was floundering mid season at 6-6 and took a tremendous PR shot from the Dunn hit piece then completely turned the team around mid season. He’s showed tremendous growth which he always preaches. More aggressive defense, better game management especially on 4th down, and better challenge success. After the loss of Tre/Milano/Jones the D took a while to find its footing yet finished STRONG with backups to the backups making plays. The offense was struggling and he fired the OC mid season which couldn’t have been easy and installed a guy who turned it around. Yeah, you can say he deserves some of the blame for Dorsey but give me a break. Last year guys on here were worried he’d be poached for a HC gig.
This team is tough, gritty, battle hardened, and peaking at the right time ( as opposed to last year where they peaked early and limped into the playoffs)
I don’t think the result of this coming game diminishes in any way what McD has accomplished this season. Yeah, we need to get the monkey off our back but there are so many variables that go into one game, that doesn’t discount the previous 6 that saved the season and won us the division. Sure if we get blown out or there’s another 13 second coaching blunder that’s going to be an issue, but to lose to KC in a tight game will suck but not be an indictment on the coach.
I get that point of view and lots of what you say is valid.
I'm not a huge fan of McD but it's hard not to rally behind him at this point.
I still have my doubts he can lead the team to a Lombardi. That's just me though. A loss on Sunday certainly wouldn't give me any reinforcement that McD is the guy
I think what's slightly being lost here is why was the team 6-6 and in that position? Should they ever have been in that position? Blame has to be placed on the head coach.
Bottom line is McD dug himself out of the hole he dug. It's certainly a gave and take he.
This team has been in this very position for years now. It's not to minimize the accomplishments. Accolades are in order. However, this team led by Allen has to progress further. No excuses no satisfaction, no no no.
A loss on Sunday changes a lot. Questions about McD will and should be asked and addressed. Think Tomlin or McCarthy.

If Lamar sucks again this week, you gonna run and hide again?
Completely untrue. I've been wrong many times sir.
Just because your logic is irrational don't get upset at me.

Agree but if you look at Mahomes through the years, particularly in the playoffs he's killed teams with his legs as much as JA17 has.
He had 2 carries for 40 yards against the Dolphins and with the prospect of the Bills starting a bunch of backups in the back seven you better believe Reid and Mahomes will attack that, not necessarily with designed runs, but Mahomes taking off for smaller runs of 5-7 yards to get tough yards and 1st downs when needed.
Absolutely agree here. Mahomes' legs are a weapon and he will not be holding back. Bills D has to contain the edges but yet put pressure on him. Tough task to stop Patty. It helps that Kelce looks slightly off and his WR core is unreliable. I think they try to pound Pacheco to open up the passing game. Similar to what Buffalo might try with Cook.
This game looks like a classic. I bet it comes down to the wire. Bass kind of scares me.

I don’t think Mahomes running is part of KC’s gameplan the way Allen’s designed runs are for Buffalo. Mahomes runs when opportunities present themselves.
ThanksMahomes in the past has really hurt the Bills with his legs. Gotta contain him, not let him get big scramble runs, and extend plays. Easier said then done.

The Chiefs offense hasn't been that great this year. It looks like Kelce is showing his age. I am not saying this won't be a tough game because it will be. But the Bills are favorites for a reason. Only one home loss this year and that was because they gifted the Broncos a second shot at a FG otherwise the Bills would have been undefeated in OP this season.
The Chiefs defense is also much better in Arrowhead than on the road. I still expect the Chiefs D to be tough just based on the teams know each other well. Spags is a good D coordinator. Their secondary is solid as well.
The Bills offense has to play well, execute, be diverse, mix the run and pass, and make a few big plays. They are more than capable doing so.

All I can base someone on is how they have played in previous situations that are similar to the ones they are currently playing in regarding the time of year. When he proves he can play at a high level in the playoffs, then I will accept it. Until then, he is the same Lamar as he always has been in the playoffs. One that shines during the regular season and plays at a below replacement level quality player in the playoffs.
Do you really want to go there?
Then talk about coach McD. Does your premise still apply?
Allen hasn't even sniffed a SB despite his play. Does your premise still apply?
Like I stated before, you can't ignore changes that have been made. The Ravens have improved their offense and are more diversifed. The chances of Lamar being successful have greatly improved.
Stop digging your hole.

Man, I'm just so happy we're here. There was a 4-week stretch where we lost to the Bengals, had the 12-man fiasco w/ the Broncos, and saw Philly's kicker make a 60-yarder in the rain. We were at 6-6, with something like a 14% chance to make the playoffs. The division seemed out of reach. That article came out about McDermott that seemed like it could send things spiraling. We were starting to talk coaching changes & the draft on here, and I was getting a ton of laughing emojis for still hoping beyond hope that we could go on a run.
Now here we are w/ the 2 seed, in the divisional round, and favorites against a VISITING Chiefs team, which we haven't seen in the Mahomes era.
McDermott deserves credit, imo. It was a lot of close games and nail-biting, but he put together a fantastic run to close the season and bring us our 4th division title in a row.
I agree in the short term. It was an unlikely outcome of success.
However, the Bills should have never been in that predictiment.
So it cuts both ways here. McD deserves blame and credit. I think a lot depends on what happens this Sunday.
A loss will likely cause many Bills fans to be disappointed with McD. Similar to what Dallas and Pitt fans are saying and feeling about McCarthy and Tomlin.
A win vs KC and an AFC championship game is likely seen as a successful season win or lose.

I don't care whose offense it was with, he put up much better numbers all those years during the regular season. That might be valid if he sucked during the regular season too but he didn't. I mean, the best playoff performance he has had was his first one his rookie year with a 78.5 QB Rating. That's not gonna get it done.
No but one is an individual performance and one is a team performance. Josh Allen has performed exceptionally well in the playoffs. He takes his game to the next level. Lamar takes his game from the penthouse to the basement. It's embarrassing to say the least for a soon to be 2 Time MVP during the regular season to perform like that when the stakes are highest.
Disagree here.
There are many factors in play with Lamar. You can't negate or ignore the changes the Ravens have made. Their offense is not even remotely close to the offense of past years. Their offensive system is much more diverse, has legit WRs with speed, and a "lively" TE.
Also, Lamar is more experienced and a better passer. He's not a great passer but he's improved, dangerous, and dynamic.The offense not one dimensional. That's the major difference. They do have a legit passing game.
The Ravens are the AFC favorites for a reason and Lamar factors into that. To imply he's going to play poorly in the upcoming playoff game(s) is based on opinion not fact. An opinion that I disagree with.

My own feeling is that if we get past this one, this is the year. We might face better teams after the Chiefs, but none that have the psychological 'hurdle' that KC represents.
It will feel a little more downhill if we're still playing after Sunday.
I don't know. I'm just focusing on beating the Chiefs. All that other stuff can be addressed later.
I don't see how it's going to be downhill going to Baltimore. Does anyone else think the Texans could win?

Cook has been underwhelming in the past few games until the Steelers game.
He ran the ball very well against Pittsburgh.
He has a ton of talent, and if he stops dropping passes, I do believe he has a lot of Alvin Kamara in him.
I don't see the Kamara comparison. Kamara is an excellent ball catcher and seems to have a bit more explosion. He's seemed to drop off quite a bit this year.

Their offense is worse this season, notably. They're a lot more reliant upon Pacheco and the running game than they've been in the past. Their WRs are second-rate except for the developing rookie Rasheed.
Their D is better, but only in pass D.
Our fans are going to be over-the-top up for this game, it reminds me of the home playoff games of the '90s where we went expecting to win, not hoping to win.
I see this as a repeat of the '91 season game where Kelly couldn't hear squat at Arrowhead, asked the officials to calm the noise, they refused. At our home playoff game vs. the Chiefs it was so quiet when we were on offense that you could hear Kelly's calls clearly. When the Chiefs had the ball, ... LOL, you couldn't hear yourself.
Just hoping that Houston wins as I think they can. Gotta love Stroud, and that would be a good home playoff game too, but better than @ the Ravens.
So you are calling for a Bills win? I have it as a toss up.
You better be right!!!

Stop before you end up in FIlthyBeast territory. What he does isn't critical of the Bills its outright dog**** trolling. He has been doing it since way back when the Bills official forums were still alive. He would constantly get banned there and make new accounts it was so bad. The dude isn't critical of the Bills. Just an outright hater. If you can't see the difference then you need to wake up. This guys is not worth defending and it's not the ledge you want to stand on.
I'll take your word for it. To be honest, I'm not familiar with him. I kind of stay clear of the whole situation.

Well, they didn't shut down us, the Packers, Eagles or Raiders in recent weeks before that and lost all four games.
Hence the data.
Also, they haven't beaten a playoff team all season other than for Miami.
Talk about playing with house money.
I can't argue with the data. Somehow, I feel like the data is or should be diluted with the Chiefs. Come playoff time Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid just win. Last year was a great example of that. To this day, I don't think they were that good.

Balanced Offense
The Chiefs are 3-5 when their opponents run for 118+.
1-3 at 123+.
The Chiefs rushing D is not good. Cook & Co. with a few Allen runs sprinkled in for good measure should be enough regardless of the D.
They certainly stuffed the Dolphins run game. I think the Chiefs can slow down the run game if they commit to it. Its a tough ask because Allen is so good. They also will have a spy on Allen.
The key is their secondary winning the one on one battles. That secondary looks to be one of the best in the NFL. If the Bills pass catches aren't effective the Chiefs might load up the box. McDuffie is a good run stuffer

I agree with those saying the defensive injuries may be too much to overcome.
Mahomes is obviously a super confident guy unfazed by anything. He'll strut into the stadium and it won't bother him at all. I fear it could be death by a thousand paper cuts with him just extending drives with short passes and a few scrambles.
For me the key is to try and get a takeaway early and build a lead. Force Mahomes to stay in the pocket a second longer looking for something deep, or take a risk on a throw trying to make a big play. Our defensive line is very good at batting passes, so I hope they can bat one in the air that gets picked off.
What's really not being talked about much is the Chiefs defensive game plan. We all know Spags is pretty aggressive and will bring some timely pressure. This can be a game where Allen is running for his life.
I feel like their secondary matches up very well with the Bills WRs. Diggs is largely a non factor vs KC. Shakir doesn't get enough volume and who knows about Gabe. Either way Gabe isn't reliable.
The x factors are Kincaid and Cook. Both could have some big games.

1. Maybe Taylor Rapp (if healthy himself)? In some sort of dime / hybrid linebacker / big nickel role?
2. Yep, and again our athleticism at the second level if our starters end up being Klein, Dodson and Lewis concerns me there too. Might have to really ask the ends to be disciplined and that takes away from your pass rush. What would you rather have? Pick your poison.
3. Agee. I think we are going to need another exceptional performance from Josh and his supporting cast, which - other than the Knox drop right after half time - showed out pretty well for him vs Pitt.
Number 2 really concerns me. This is the exact type of game that Milano would thrive in.

Aside from Allen I would say Cook is the key to this game. They have to run the ball and if Cook has a big day, then that will help our defense. With the injuries on that side of the ball it is definitely in the Bills best interest to keep Mahomes and company on the sideline.
Agree the Bills really need Cook. In the past KC would be less concerned with stopping the Bills running game.
I think a lot has changed recently. The Chiefs secondary is much better as well as the Bills run attack is. Interesting to see how successful the Bills can run it and how much KC tries to attack it.

I hear you, but I do have faith in McD not to let that happen. The strength of this defense is the DL and they are healthy. If we stop the run and dedicate coverage to Kelce I think we’ll be fine. They can move the ball between the 20s…we will stop them from scoring TDs.
I also think Allen is going to have an easier time against the KC defense than many think. Their defense is very good but Allen is on another level and we actually have multiple weapons (Diggs/Cook/Kincaid/Knox/Shakir)…I’m not even including or counting on Gabe.
Anyway, we’ll see on Sunday night.
I like this optimism. Hope you are right by a million.

You think they put Rasul on Kelce? Interesting. WR Rice looks dangerous. Someone has to account for him and his speed.

I believe you are a Bills fan. You are just a really emotional one (call it PTSD if you like) who lets your emotional response dictate your assessment of the team sometimes. That isn't meant as a criticism, because you can have an honest and decent conversation about it.
Filthy Beast is a Dolphins fan and is here and on twitter trolling. This is at least his 3rd incarnation on this site. He is not a Bills fan.
I am concerned while our defense is this beaten up. Because my logic is the Chiefs defense is gonna be tough to play. It has been all year. I think they have let up 30 or more once in 2 seasons. They are legit on defense. But that wouldn't worry me if we had all our defensive pieces (and I'm not even meaning Tre and Matt here) because I think we'd be capable of holding them.
You need to give me one of Bernard (not happening) or Taron (feels 50/50 at best) for Sunday. If we have one of those guys up I just favour the Bills. If they are both down I worry Kelce will destroy us in the middle of the field and it won't matter that Mahomes has no good receivers because they will give Kelce 15 or 16 targets and move the ball.
Gunner, what would be the plan B to try to limit Kelce's success?
I am really afraid of Mahomes legs in this game. He can really make huge plays by extending plays and taking off.
I really respect the KC D. Josh can almost be unstoppable at times and the Bills will need his best version vs that D.
I will mention that the Bills O did pretty well vs a pretty tough Pitt D. Granted no Watt tremendously helped. I think that's the most or pretty close to the most their D has given up all season.
Do you think this could be a Gabe game if he plays?
Lastly, I'd like to discuss McD. Against Pitt, his number one priority was stopping the run. The pass threat was minimal. Thus, the Steelers were a pretty easy game plan for McD.
However, the KC offense is a totally different animal for obvious reasons. Despite their offensive struggles they remain a dangerous team especially in the playoffs. Last year, they won it all while many of us thought they weren't that good. Wondering what kind of game plan McD has to stop Pacheco who didn't play last game, Kelce, Rice, and Mahomes?

We need McDermott to coach his *** off on Sunday, especially if we don’t get some of these guys back.
I know Josh Allen has to go up against a healthy, elite level defense in KC.
I don’t know what Mahomes will have to face in Buffalo.
I want to win, of course, but I’ll be sick if Mahomes comes in here.. in his first road playoff game.. and gets to play a beat up defense.
Well the fact is the Bills defense is not healthy. Mahomes certainly won't get the best defense the Bills could have on display. Sucks, unfortunate, and sucks some more. Injuries always play a part in football.
McD knows the Chiefs offense. He's been somewhat successful with his game plans. Unfortunately, not as much come playoff time. Hopefully, things change will the home field advantage.
The next man up mentality has really been true with this Bills defense. Klein off his RV played remarkable well. Elam with a huge INT and Dorian Williams flashing. This is very encouraging. It will take a total team effort to win.
The Chiefs team isn't as dominant as previous years. Yet, they are very scary with Mahomes and Jones anchoring their perspective sides. Not to mention their secondary is lights out. Reid will likely have a few tricks up his sleeve.
On the other side, McD has done a superb job with his depleted D. Hopefully, it can continue. During the winning stretch his defense has been able to close the games. Gotta see it in this game; a huge playoff game. We all know this hasn't been the case. It's his nemesis if you will. Get the monkey off your back.
I believe McD is going to be pretty aggressive on offense. I can see him going for it on 4th downs.
On defense, Mahomes is a blitz killer. The front four has to get pressure. Likely they can attack their tackles where they appear to be weaker. I wish I could say it's Von Miller time. How great that would be. Just can't see it happening.
Lastly, the Bills need McD not to blow it. I don't say this in a sarcastic manner. 13 seconds has to be on everyone's mind. It's inevitable. McD was fortunate that the end of the half debacle didn't cost the team. That absolutely gave Pitt life as they were on life support. Making coaching mistakes are going to happen. I get that. However, coaching blunders just can't happen when the teams are so evenly matched.

I will concede that Reid > McD but I'm hoping the game doesn't come down to coaching. Players play and execute. I do believe both teams will be ready to play. Their game plans should be solid based on their knowledge of one another. I really think you see an aggressive and assertive McD coach on Sunday.
