Injury prone, not really that good, probably would have been cut... nice trade here by Beane. The underlying issue here was drafting him in the first place. Don't get me wrong, Beane has done a great job drafting and not every pick can be a winner, but I think our front office struggles to find offensive linemen both in the draft and in free agency.

Not trying to pick fights -- can someone explain to me why this isn't a bad deal? I don't really understand contracts/the salary cap in the NFL. From an outside perspective this seems like a huge commitment to a declining (but still good) vet.

Tampa's defense was far better than that of the Bills. Especially the pass rush. Anyone who really believed the Bills had the league's #1 defense was crazy.

Jesus Christ. I need a Xanax after that. Notes: Allen is a warrior. Though the Bills had the best statistical defense in the league this year, I always took that ranking with a grain of salt. The strength of schedule this year was weak, and it contributed to this ranking. Coming into tonight I wasn't expecting the Bills to hold the Chiefs under ~27, but what I saw out there was not acceptable. They fell apart. You cannot allow Kelce to make that catch and have KC tie it up at the end. That just cannot happen. They rushed too many and Kelce was wide open anyways. Numerous plays Mahomes found receivers wide open -- far too many blown coverages. I understand Hill and Kelce are great, but there should at least be someone *near* them. Daboll's playcalling through the first three quarters of the game was about a 4/10. There was no creativity or savvyness behind it. It looked very much like the AFC championship last game -- as if they were playing scared. It shouldn't take 3 quarters to realize that Singletary running up the middle on first and second down for 2 yards is a waste of a down. Especially when Tyrann Mathieu is injured. Too many drives came down to Allen running for it on third or fourth down. That is not a sustainable way to win football games. This isn't Daboll's fault but the offensive line looked pretty weak again. Not as bad as last year vs. the Chiefs but not where they should have been. I won't beat a dead horse with the squib kick, frankly I think that could go either way -- Pringle is a hell of a return man. I probably would have done the squib, but had they played better in other parts of the game this wouldn't be so much of a debate. Where were Diggs, Knox, and Sanders? I swear KC's secondary isn't all that great... The third time will be the charm. The Bills will beat the Chiefs in the playoffs next year.
