Clearly, the Bills defense inability to come up with enough stops in the playoffs was the only thing holding this team back.
The strategy can only be to improve the defense and reduce the number of points this team gives up.
Balance is not the right word, but there is no one on the Bill defense that consistently comes up big like Allen does on offense. The recent draft was an effort to get more impact players on the defensive side of the ball. More defensive players have to step up.
After that, it still takes some amount of luck. Just about every SB winner can point to a few key plays that went their way.

There will still be very good DTs when the Bills pick.
Miami passed up a few higher rated DT prospects, they must love Grant.
-
This move will also help UPL and Devon Levi.
-
1. Don't trade with KC
2. Take BPA on defense - DT, DE, or CB
-
Jim Monos had basically no NFL career after the Bills. So there is that.

I would and convert him to safety.
He would make the team.
I read that Hamlin is not coming back
Nope. Safeties have to tackle and play the run.
Get a younger guy that helps on St and that can push the starters.

Anyone remember the 70’s and early 80’s. A string of 1st round busts. A few of these guys never even tried to help the team.
Tom Rudd, Tom Cousineau, Phil Dokes, Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle - all terrible players.

RIP Coach.
He was a good man and he had a roster that no one could do much with.

that would make too much sense...better to have your best RB on the bench for important plays
I am baffled by this.
Final drive to win the game and Cook is not on the field.
He had two monster TD and looked possessed.

Does anyone know why Cook was not on the field for the last offensive series?
He was the guy I wanted to see get the ball.

We are knocking on the door and can win the AFC Championship today. What a long ride. I know I’m nervous and anxious.
Just wanna say good luck to the Bills Team and Bills nation (mafia). I hope the Bills pull out all the stops to get past this barrier.
Let’s keep the faith and bring home a win.

I will be 67 this year. I’ve loved this team as far back as I can remember, which goes back to the AFL championship teams.
This game in KC gets us to the Super Bowl. For the first time I’m really feeling it. I think this team could be special.

Three turnovers? You don’t win in the playoffs with three turnovers.

I think Josh would welcome the chance to have the ball and win on the last drive.

Imagine being a Rams fan and having your playoff game start at 5 PM. Guess you'll just have to take a half day because the evergreen greed of the NFL mandated that we needed Monday night playoff games.
You lost me at Rams fan

I haven't watched the Pats/Rams Superbowl game since it aired. The Pats may have known what plays were being run due to cheating, but if I remember correctly, NE went into a Dime & flooded the zones. The Rams could have run the ball more & forced them to adjust, but Martz was too arrogant to change & thought his passing system could thrive vs anything. They had Marshall Faulk, so it probably would've worked. I saw an interview with Martz years back & he basically said the same thing.
Sounds like Bills Giants in SB25

That's why I don't love this. This game means nothing - I'd love to see all of the top guys have a week off.
But they'll all have to play as long as Allen does. Hopefully just a few handoffs to get the start.
You must have missed the Kelly era where this situation was common.
First of all they typically dress 8 offensive lineman so not all of them can rest. They might dress 9 for this game. A few starters will on the OL will get a lot of plays.
Marv gave the offensive starters one series - often it was 3 plays but sometimes enough plays to drive for a score. After that Kelly, Thurman, Reed and anyone nursing an injury was out. Having Reich made it easier to play with backups because he was always well prepared and was very capable.
I suspect McD will do the same.
We will see mostly backups right away.

you also don’t want him starting behind the 2nd and 3rd string. This is even where he is just handing off.
All of Allen’s plays will be with the first team OL and receivers. Anything else is crazy.

The two massive coaching blunders this year cost us the 1 seed. Going for 3 straight passes and leaving enough time for Houston to get the ball back and kick a game winning field goal and choosing to accept the penalty on Los Angeles instead of 4th and 7 which would have no doubt resulted in a field goal. Just terrible. The gauntlet of how the playoffs look like they are going to play out is tragic. If we see the ravens, which is more than likely, I unfortunately see us getting bounced in the divisional round. Hopefully chargers or Pittsburgh can beat them in the wildcard…

It's old, but it never gets old.
This season was my introduction to Bills football too. It as far back as I can remember watching them. I still have some AFL football cards packed away somewhere. And a few Buffalo Bills Coca Cola bottle caps with the players picture under the cork lining.

Me too. I loved the Bills and the baseball Bisons and the hockey Bisons.

I think he was the first "soccer style" kicker. He was one of the original players to jump ship into the other league. Starting an impending free agent war that owners in both leagues wanted to avoid.

By the way, Jackie Kemp was the Chargers QB before we stole him from waivers.By the way, so was Paul McQuire..BTW
Kemp and McGuire were both important figures in the community for many years to come.
By the late 60's the AFL was the better league. We will never see anything like that again, and the Buffalo Bills were a big part of it. Thanks Ralph for giving Buffalo a shot, and sticking with us.

McD should get more involved with the D during the practice week, but not fully take over. McD still needs to concentrate on game manangement.
McD should get more involved with the Special Teams and verify each week that they have practiced for all contingencies. The Special Teams seem to get surprised way too often. Even things like counting players on the field has been a problem.

When the Bills are good and the Pats* are down, they are still a pain in the ass to beat at times.
Note to Bills: Never, EVER wear those Uni’s again. Same color /style as the 1960’s, 70’s, most of 80’s Patsies. Terrible.
We won and I hate the Pats*. I always have since the days of Gino Capaletti, Babe Parelli, and Jim Nance.
