Good! You aren't good if you aren't hated. Let teams hate the Bills and what they do to them. It means something is going right.

Maye is good. He was stumped by a McD defense that had adjusted in the second half. Seems like a gamer, but I worry about his durability. He doesn't protect himself on slides and runs like Mahomes and Allen do. I think he is a legit starter right now, but not in the top 2 tiers of QBs. Plenty of time for him to grow and develop into a high end NFL starter. The MVP talk was just overreaction, similar to Jaden Daniels last year.

The NFL (and other leagues) trying to allow potential overhead influence on every play has now created even more feeling of bias. just throw that crap out and let’s play ball

It’s a break for sure. Reminds me of te Worthy catch last year in the playoffs where bishop looked to have intercepted the pass but the tie went to Worthy. even so, the egregious miss on the first drive where replay assist didn’t… assist, was crazy. Took them from a punt situation to the redzone

1) No way they draft two WR in the first 3 rounds. Beane has never done that, I dont think that will change this year. I agree Davis will stay most likely Davis Palmer Shakir Shavers draft WR low end FA Traded - Coleman That's my guess. I think they are done with Keon. Unless he comes into camp ready and running hard, I could see them cutting him outright when they get down to 53. Such a shame.

I would not bank on Davis being gone. He likes Buffalo, made some money with the Jags, and may not get offers in FA. I could see a 1 or 2 year deal similar to what they did with Ty Johnson as a guy they picked up from another team and fit a role nicely.

I understand your thinking, but this is different that looking at a team like the Dolphins who are 6-7 and being scared of them, vs. a team with incredible proven playoff success in the Chiefs who are 6-7. They may be older, they may be slower, but this coaching group has shown time and time again they are unable to stop the Chiefs in the playoffs when the rubber hits the road. The Chiefs were collapsing at 2-4 a few years ago as well, and then they won the Super Bowl. My philosophy is to play the worst QBs possible in the playoffs. The Bills can likely handle a CJ Stroud/Bo Nix/Phillip Rivers (LOL) than a Mahomes or Burrow. Keep the great QBs away from these winner take all games.

What's the Chiefs playoff record in the AFC conference over the last half decade? They are 13-1 since 2019. I dont want Mahomes/Reid/Spags in the playoffs at all. They know how to win games once they are there.

The bills have lost to two teams in the playoffs over the past 5 years. the chiefs and the bengals. i don’t care what seed we get, if i can go into the playoffs without either of those teams involved, im happy. if the charges lost today, they have to go into arrowhead next week and dont own the tiebreaker against KC if they lose.

I know the receivers are an issue, however the last two games have been challenging to measure them as a unit. 1) Wind last week was a major issue, neither team threw the ball downfield much at all 2) Cooks is slowly being worked in, last week he only played a few snaps 3) Run heavy schemes bring in Shavers/Davis/TEs, which will adjust how the passing game is driven I will say, Cooks is getting open. There were several times where he was putting his hand up with some sort of separation, but he was downfield and that's a challenging throw given the weather.

Not much to say this week - Bills know this is an important game. Win and you rattle the Pats as we get into the home stretch. Lose, and you are again fighting for a playoff spot with the rest of the group. No talking needed - go get the win.

WR is absolutely a need. for sure. However, Slot CB is a big issue, especially as teams have learned that slot WR is usually the best attacking option in the passing game. It doesn't have to be a top 50 pick. A late 2nd - 4th round guy if scouted well could come in and bolster the SLB spot.

No. No way. He has been an abysmal pro, we do not need that added to our team.

I'd say if a player is in concussion protocol in the week leading up to the game, and then is flagged by the spotter for a test due to head contact, he should sit out for at least a quarter and go through intensive testing. If they go back out and get pulled off again, shut them down for the game. No exeptions.

They need a slot corner. It is their #1 need on defense given the lack of depth there. Taron Johnson is not fast enough to handle even an athletic TE now, and while he is a strong and willing tackler, he can't be such a liability on the field. A young and fast slot CB along with Benford/Hairston/Bishop/Hancock is our core moving forward. Adding a top 3 round slot CB would go a long way. Then you can focus on DE/WR/LB after.

Benford we knew was injury. My personal concern was the accumulation of head injuries, was he just going to be reacting slower due to a series of them. Fortunately, Benford has been incredibly good the past 3-4 weeks. If Hairston continues to develop, it really forces teams to attack us between the hashmarks. Let's us dial up more blitzes and use safety help in the middle of the field. Really hoping Benford can stay healthy on this playoff run.

I think that cut is a must if they want to really move the roster around and improve. $8M can get you a solid safety or slot corner, both of which are needs.

I think the question is - who are the good teams in the AFC? Indy was a powerhouse, now they may not even make the show. The Chiefs are floundering. The Ravens too. Denver is winning every one score game they can. The Patriots were terrible last year, are they really that improved? Do we trust Herbert or Lawrence in the playoffs? We just dismantled the Steelers in their building. No one in the AFC is a powerhouse. All it takes is the right run of the cards, and the Bills could have a Steelers, Jags, at home against the Texans path to the Super Bowl...

I’ve said it before. He has been given a crown for his defense led Super Bowl appearances and his injuries due to his o line. he has two of the best 20 wide receivers in the nfl. A ton of his yards and tds are when he is down and needs to air it out to come back. he has a very accurate arm and looks calm and measured. With that said, he isn’t durable, lacks pocket awareness, and doesn’t have that killer gene Mahomes does. great QB, but overrated

Beane isn't as petty as I am...

Can we just hold him and not put him on waiver, activate him each week, and fine him for not reporting? He is pulling the Gronk trade to Detroit move!

Agree on all counts. If you are looking to fire McD at the end of the year, the options are: 1) Promote Brady 2) Bring a coach back from retirement (Gruden, Arians, etc.). I find this VERY unlikely, but potential. You also could risk someone like Rivera being hired by Pegula 3) Promote another team's OC/DC. Unfortunately, not many options here. Do you try to grab ANOTHER DC like Sean to come over? Flores? IDK. Seems like a waste as Sean is already the defensive minded HC. Maybe you grab an OC, but there isn't much out there. If you go the Shanahan tree, it may provide options, but how long is that well going to be good for? My opinion, you either keep Sean for another year, or promote Brady. I dont see any other reasonable risk free options in the market.

Buddy, she was a 6 at best. You asked what McD would have done without Allen, I gave you the only evidence we can go off of. But feel free to move the goal posts

What does he look like? Maybe making breaking the longest playoff drought in franchise history? But IDK there isn't any sample to go off of. Oh wait.

Which Super Bowl winning teams in the past 10 years have come from quick adjustments and retools as opposed to full on rebuilds? Chiefs - no Eagles - maybe the only case - Reich brought in a new wave offense that led them to their win. Sirianni was a potential fire candidate before last year Patriots - no Rams - no, they bottomed out for a #1 OVR pick Bucs - no, Brady was a once in a decade get Broncos - No, Manning was a once in a decade get Very rarely do teams who win the Super Bowl get it done quickly after a coaching change or adjustment, without MAJOR additions coming their way (Brady, Manning)
