Why would he want to work with the laziest QB the NFL has even known? It just doesn't make sense. Unless he likes Trubisky, of course...
(Sorry if someone has already posted this line of sarcasm in the preceding three pages)

He also said he would like to see teams not practice at all. Josh seems to believe in less is more. Makes you wonder how much he watches film and prepares mentally for games.
These are his words. Imagine if we’re seeing only a fraction of what he’s capable of? Imagine playoff Josh all the time? Maybe we get the #1 seed.And for me, it's ridiculous to think the way to get to the number one seed is to try and get even more out of Josh.

I wouldn’t say always. They’ve had a lot of bad games and won.
The Chiefs D more often than not turns up when required. They're the reason the Chiefs won the SB last month.

You seem to be implying that JA never makes a bad throw, or never makes a bad decision on where to go with his throws, which is nonsense. He certainly has *some room* for improvements.
He's human. He'd make errors even if he didn't take a break during the off season. Even St Patrick does.

Not sure if you’re referring to my original post but Josh is the one that says he doesn’t do much in the offseason the last couple years. And that he uses camp to get in shape. But he feels that helps him prevent soft tissue injuries. He also said his strength coach with the Bills will hate that he said that.
He also doesn’t throw much in the offseason anymore and doesn’t work with Palmer much anymore. Just kind of chills.
And I'd say Josh looked the best QB in this year's play offs. I'm not saying he's the number one QB, or better than Mahomes but perhaps the rest during the close season helped him peak when the Bills needed to. Shame barely anyone else followed suit.
Despite the dissection of the issues the Bills have I find it surreal that the key solution appears to be ask even more from Josh.

I don't know. But I really hope he works hard this offseason. I feel like Josh being dialled in is the difference between this team being in a lot of one score games and us winning more comfortably.
I agree to an extent though hope he listens to the Bills medical team too. I think his shoulder bothered him for a lot of the season, so if they prefer him to miss physical training then so be it. Saying that, it doesn't stop him watching film and I would like to hear that he is working with Palmer.

Couldn't disagree more. If Josh was at the pinnacle of the sport and the Bills were winning by 2 TD's then the defense couldn't let them down. Tom Brady is divorced because he was obsessed with football and neglected his family to be the best. Josh is a nice guy. He will never be great because he, like all of you, thinks he's good enough. What a joke
He on his own is more than good enough. Worse QBs than Josh have won the Super Bowl.

They probably just saw the 'B' and automatically thought it related to the Bills. Now they've realised their mistake, up the Bengals go.

No worries friends Christian Wilkins will be taking his defensive line techniques to the Raiders making Pat Mahomes job much harder I’m sure.
Or just make Mahomes harder, depending how he grabs.

I'm in London right now crushing it in the gym 4 hours ahead of Buffalo.
Knowing what we know now, on Day 2, what would your plan be if you were GM?
Me, I think I sit tight at this point and let things settle.
Beane plugged some holes.
If I'm him, I see what happens at safety and edge over the coming weeks.
My guess is there will be some value at safety.
If I had to make a move, I would make a run at Chase Young ( see what I did there?) and see if he is willing to go mercenary and sign a 2 year deal (that really is a one year prove it) like Floyd did last year.
BTW, saw Chelsea vs Northampton last night. Must say it was fun but not really thrilling like so many soccer fans suggest. Atmosphere was more polite than raucous. The Northampton fans were in one section and shouted the entire match(did I get that right?). The Chelsea folks mostly sat and watched. It was a Monday night. No beer in the stands and their main beer was Singha which is their sponsor.
It wasn't a great game, despite (spoilers) finishing 3-2. Shame you couldn't make it to Liverpool v Manchester City the day before!

Every time I log out for a bit something Bills related happens. Dawkins, Davis, Floyd, AJE, Josh… maybe I ought to sign off again.

Oh good, another thread of Mahomes is God and Josh is rubbish. Just what we need.

That’s basically how it goes. Accused names should always be sealed in any rape investigation. I’m not sure why they aren’t.
In the UK it's because it's very hard to prosecute accusations of rape so the hope is, by making the name public, it may encourage others who have been attacked by the accused but haven't come forward to do so. I assume it's the same in America.

Yet again the Chiefs show where they're better than the Bills. Great move by then, and no idea why the Bills didn't go back in for him. Haven't really read the thread in full so not sure if Araiza rejected them over his treatment through the allegations. Of all the teams... but good move by the Chiefs and, unless he turned them down, the Bills caught short again.

Of course he isn’t perfect. No one is. But since ‘fortune going his way’ has led to 3 championships he’s going to get the benefit of the doubt like you said. Allen’s mistakes will be scrutinized more because they have prevented him and the Bills from winning it all. Allen can change all that by winning it all. Hopefully sooner than later.
He threw it where only Kelce could catch it. Very similar to the Kelce TD in the Championship game against Baltimore. Low risk high reward throw. The fg was in the bag no need to jeopardize that by throwing it over the middle.So the answer to what the Bills need to do is put even more on Josh? Don't try and improve the receivers? Don't try and tighten up the defense? Just pile more on the QB. Even though the most recent KC win shows victory goes deeper than one person.

There were 10 secs left. If you look at the replay the safety was looking at Rice before Mahomes threw the ball to Kelce. He didn’t want to risk a throw to the middle where Rice might get strip like Flowers did in the Championship game or Hardman in against the Bills. That was a prudent play to protect the fg and play on. That kind of awareness is what I hope Allen would be better at.Prudent play? He threw the ball to Kelce who was covered even more than Rice. Earlier, he threw a stupid ball which should have been intercepted and it was only fortune going his way it wasn't. The only TD he managed in regulation time was when the offense started in (or practically in) the red zone due to a lucky heel clip.
He's human. He's never going to be perfect. But he seems to be given carte blanche even on here for mistakes which Josh isn't. Perhaps that's what rings do for QBs.

Tell me - what happened to his final throw in regulation time yesterday?
Mahomes threw a quick fade to the corner of the end zone. On 2nd down he had 6 seconds left and they decided to kick vs risk another throw. He took KC the length of the field and set up a chip shot under 30 yards.
Tell me - what was so superb about him yesterday that mean the only TD he managed in regulation time was assisted by a punted ball hitting a Niners heel?
He had the game tying and game winning back to back drives in the Super Bowl.
He ran out of time on the final drive. Settled for a FG inside 30 yard line. Then followed it up with a TD in OT for the win. The Bills stalled out on 4th down with plenty of time remaining and set up a 44 yard FG. How is this same?
How many game winners does Allen have in the playoffs? Before you get tempted to reference 13 seconds, make sure you check out the 2018 AFC championship game Mahomes played in. Nobody ever talks about that game because it's not his defining moment. It's become secondary to his 3 Super Bowls all won after being down 10 points (again something we have never done).
Josh is Manning. Mahomes is Brady. Nobody ever said Manning was bad and most agreed he was way more talented than Brady ever was, still, nobody besides Colts fans ever said he was as good as Brady. Our fan base can keep talking about, imagine if Mahomes was on Buffalo, imagine if Josh had Reid, imagine if we had an offensive line. Nobody cares. People care about what actually happens. If it was a game about imagining Dan Marino would be the greatest QB of all time.
Mahomes missed a free man who could have run it in and scored a touchdown with no time for the Niners to respond in regulation yesterday. Exactly what Josh has been hauled over the coals about over the past three weeks, and in the OP's comment as well. It resulted in a FG attempt, just like three weeks ago. If Butker had missed or had the kick blocked the Niners would have won.
And then he had to rely on his defense keeping the Niners offense away from scoring a touchdown. If they had succeeded, then he would have had to score a touchdown just to tie it up, and then the Niners (I think, not 100% sure of the current rules) would have only needed a FG to win.
Mahomes is a great QB. The number one. I do get defensive because sometimes I feel people even on here seem inclined to run down Josh to build Mahomes up even more. Chiefs fans doing that, I completely understand but Bills fans? So maybe I get slightly defensive. For all his greatness, he did very little to win the SB for the Chiefs yesterday. But the plaudits will continue because, as you say, that's how it works.

I strongly disagree with the bold words above. Physically, JA certainly is equal to, or maybe even a bit above, Mahomes. But mentally (the mental part of the game such as reading defenses and making the correct decisions with ball placement….some people call these skills the intangibles), he is definitely NOT as talented as Mahomes. JA’s play on the field this past year absolutely proves the latter. Some would say that he has actually regressed in the last couple years. If he was just as talented as Mahomes, 3 weeks ago in the KC game, he would have led the team to a game leading TD on that final drive….but he didn’t. Mahomes pretty much always gets the game winning points, at the end. His playoff record speaks for itself.

I do agree with you in that I think Mahomes is slightly ahead of Josh when it comes to the mental side of the game. But Mahomes has proven his drives can end up in exactly the same way as the Bills final offensive drive did three weeks ago and, as I said yesterday, it happened just yesterday.

niners @ bills to open the season Sunday Night football.
Could be - or they could repeat the NFC Championship game with Lions at Niners.
Reckon the Bills will have a divisional game if so.

No other team has benefited from such fortuitous circumstances like the Chiefs. Remember last year when they were getting dominated by Philly and then Hurts fumbles for 6? Or when the refs called a ticky tack hold on the Eagles defender to seal the game for KC? Or the game before that where the Bengal defender shoved Mahomes late out of bounds to put them in FG range? I can’t really explain how the bounces always seem to go their way. The one time it didn’t - last night where the 49ers were gifted a fresh set of downs after a defensive hold - they still come through with the TD to steal it in the end. They’ve got a knack for winning even when they should lose. Gotta give it to them.
The only reason the Chiefs scored a TD in regulation last night is because the ball clipped a Niner's heel from a punt.

Replay Review Approved for Game Clock Expiration before Snap
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I imagine it will be treated like the offside rules in the top football (ok, ok... soccer) leagues. Play will continue until it's conclusion, then revisited if need be.
