Appreciate your perspective. I appreciate you engaging with my point.
I'm too young to remember the early 90s.
But there seems to be a real hesitance to my generalized "every NFL team should play every NFL team" each season idea.
This is not a crazy idea, in my opinion. It's almost heretical, judged by some of these responses.
I could see a day where they eliminate divisions (I doubt most fans would like that).
There's little chance they'd expand the schedule beyond 18 games (it's probably coming in a new CBA down the road).
The NFL is such a machine, but out of respect to the other major sports, they wouldn't want to overlap more than they already do, and when the teams get the injury bug, the product suffers. Realistically, out of the 14 playoff teams this season, maybe 4 or 5 were "healthy."

But why is change so bad? I'm genuinely asking.
Until all the teams play each other we will never really achieve competitive balance in the schedule.
The NFL scheduling formula is presently brilliant. It was even better when it was just 16 games.
Yes, there are quirks, like some divisions can have "down year(s)," but it's great for the fans, especially the opposing conference match ups by division. Before 1978, AFC/NFC games didn't rotate like they do now. We also have rotating AFC vs AFC, NFC vs NFC by divisions.
You may not be old enough to know, but there was a period where the NFC won 13 SBs is a row, late 80s into the 90s.
A lot of this stuff is by chance/luck. I wouldn't ruin a good thing.

Correct. The Chiefs are dominant because they presently have the best coach & the best QB. The scary thing is their defense has truly improved.

The 49ers are soft. They pulled out wins vs inexperienced Green Bay & Detroit, got pushed around vs the AFC North this season.
Prepare for another KC win.

Who is the best of the no Superbowl bunch? I'd say right now Marino and then Moon. Could Josh be up there with them some day?
He sure could be, but holding out hope Allen could win one.

Could Josh go down as the best playoff QB to never win a Superbowl? Who is his competition? Marino and Rivers come to mind.
Usually if you are a great QB then you win a Superbowl.
Fran Tarkenton
Dan Fouts
Brian Sipe
Warren Moon

Well Cleveland did win an NBA championship not too awfully long ago
Yes.
Cleveland's curse is truly Art Modell. Buys the team in 1963, fires arguably the greatest coach of all time (Paul Brown), goes bankrupt in a football crazed city, moves the team & fires Bellichick (who had the Browns on the right path).
Can we throw the Minnesota Vikings into this curse too? Another tortured fan base...Lake Superior is cold lol.

The mvp award is ridiculous for this reason lol. Mccaffrey and tyreek def deserve it more than Lamar
its more the ‘what qb had a good enough season on the best team’ than who was the most valuable player
Lamar @$52 million a year & being a minority has much to do with all this MVP talk. Yeah, I said it (wrote it lol).
Lamar is good. Compared to the top-tier QBs, he's maybe 5th or 6th. But he's not an MVP.

There's an obsession with giving it to a QB. I don't think any QB has been good enough to be in the MVP conversation this year. Even the top two - Mahomes and Josh - have had their struggles. Even now, can't see beyond McCaffrey but highly doubt he gets it.
It's an obsession with offense in general. Outstanding defensive players who get double-teamed constantly but still impact the game get ignored (Garrett, Watt) unless they play in NYC ("Revis Island", LT).

McDermott’s defenses have been pretty good against him too.
You simply take away a dimension. When the QB is one-dimensional to begin with, guess what that leads to?
A loss?🤣🤣🤣🤣

1 minute ago, BRH said:
Talking heads on both stations are studiously ignoring the egg Lamar laid.
It’s all about the “great Kansas City defense.”
All KC had to do is run the tapes on how Pitt, Cle, & Cincy handle Lamar. It's difficult, because he always finds a way to make plays, but in general bullrush pressure on him is the way to go

Harbaugh should be fired. Honestly WTF was that? They imploded.
That's been their "mantra" since Ray Lewis. They employ thugs.
Zay Flowers pretty much handed the game to KC. Taunting on a reception ( taunting is a cultural Ratbirds trait), the ever-boneheaded reach for the goal line fumble.
But Lamar is the MVP lol. Wow, he didn't do a whole lot out there.

I will say, I watched the Bengals beat the Chefs in the AFC Championship after 13 seconds, and that was quite satisfying.....however, in this case, seeing Baltimore win would not be enjoyable either
Correct. That team has always been annoying, starting with how they got there (Modell), Ray Lewis at a murder scene, & the ugliest uniforms ever.

Ok, so Poyer made one game-saving play.
Jones made one game preserving play.
Butker hit his FG’s. Bass missed the game tying one.
MVS made a contested catch downfield over our All-Pro corner.
Sherfield came up with 0/2 50/50 balls thrown downfield to him.
Kelce got open all night.
Doggs, 3 for 21 with a fumble and a 65 yard drop middle of the 4th quarter.
Mahomes missed an open TD, twice early in the game, if we’re going to put the loss on Allen for Dawkins getting beat.
Cook dropped a TD, and Allen picked him up and still got the TD.
We can do this all day, because your argument starts and ends with Poyer making one play.
This
How it continues to happen, wow.
PS- Herbert might become a top 10 QB, but he's not now. I cannot figure out why he's so hyped. Is it because he's in LA? 30 wins 32 losses.

i just couldn't do it. he doesn't fit the team.
Dick LeBeau, Marty Schottenheimer, The Ryans, Jim Schwartz, Spags... were never HC material.
I don't see the defensive coordinator mindset being ideal for HC. never really have unless they were a tremendously aggressive defensive head coach
You can't be serious. 200-126-1 in his career.
Two things stand out to me on Marty....1) he just had problems vs Elway obviously, and 2) he was 100% spot on about Drew Brees. Remember, they fired him because he didn't want Philip Rivers as his starting QB, he wanted Brees.

I should have said another QB not the. that really wasn't the point
Ok, I interpreted as if Allen was with another team, he'd have a SB win by now.
2 minutes ago, HomeskillitMoorman said:It's not something to shoot for though. Clearly this isn't working with McD here. There are a lot of examples of great players in every sport who needed a new coach to get over the hump.
And there's quite a few of those guys I would not put on Allen's level.
The worst part is, Allen has played fantastic in 2 out of those 3 losses to the Chiefs and we've come up empty because of our coach. It's not like he's had 4 pick games in those moments.
Right, Allen definitely has the skills to lead to a SB win, but there's obviously so many other factors. That's why I put together that list. Sometimes it's just as simple as playing a superior team in an era, like KC.

I dont know how many seasons we have to see a variation on the theme of the Bills being unprepared for a playoff game. That's not gonna change.
Allen will be the QB who if he was on another team would already have won the super bowl. I dont even know who to blame at this point but I bet we see another mcduh draft this year, 3 DL, a corner, i guess a punter and kicker? oh and maybe a WR in round 6
C'mon now, that's kind of crazy. There's a long list of great QBs that never won a title. Off the top of my head:
- Marino
- Moon
- Tarkenton
- Fouts
- Kosar
- Esiason
- Cunningham
- McNabb
- Ken Anderson
- Rivers
There's a sad reality Allen never wins one. Elway didn't win one until his 15th season. Sucks to write that, but it's perspective.

Why? Will that make your life better in some way? How does that improve your daily life. Maybe you need some more hobbies or something? There is a huge difference between need and want.
I want a Super Bowl very badly, but I don’t need one, because I have a family and a life outside of the Bills. Some might argue I take it too seriously, but it doesn’t define my life. I had a ton of fun watching the Bills this season, and none of that fun has been magically removed from my life.

Yeah, it sucks coming up short when the team is so close.

-AFC Divisional Game at home vs CIN. No show all around. Damar Hamlin, mental exhaustion... ok. Fine.
He gets next year, I'm sure, but there can't be anymore excuses. Valid or not.. he's used all of them up. We talk about needing luck yet NE ran the AFC for a decade + and now KC is doing the same. It's not luck, as much as we want to pretend it is. And when we watch Allen play Mahomes.. it's not the QB. So what is it? Rhetorical question, because we all know.. and he's out of excuses. Valid or not. You can't have one every year.
Nope. The Bills were a vastly superior team to Cincy & blew it plain and simple.

The NFL, particularly the AFC is littered with these kinds of stories over the years (decades).
- Raiders in the 70s were fantastic, but Miami & Pittsburgh
- Cleveland in the 80s, but Denver, Cincy
- Colts, Steelers in the 2000s/2010s, but New England
- Bills presently, but Chiefs
Going forward, who knows. The AFC is really tough, and typically a few playoff teams don't even make the playoffs the following season. Lots of "what-ifs" ahead for many teams.

Bills offense 7.2 yards per pass 4.7 yards per rush
Chiefs offense 12.6 yards per pass 7.2 yards per rush.
Bills did a good job playing "keep away," had the ball for 37 minutes. Sounds like a real good formula, turns out wrong again.
Hate to say it, KC simply is better & more clutch.

It’s laughable that the fans are scared to score a TD to early because they are more worried about the D not making a stop. Says all you need to know about this team and this staff.
KC scored 27 points on 43 offensive plays. Yep, the fear was real lol.
Of course, we will never know. Maybe Mahomes fumbles or throws an INT at the end.
The torture continues. I won't watch the AFC title game next week. The fake MVP (Lamar) vs the real MVP. Yikes.

So then for you guys today must be Christmas because you get to go in these threads and say “I told you so!” You guys like to watch the Bills with a pessimistic point of view-don’t know how that’s enjoyable but that’s cool for you. Works out perfectly for you though-if the Bills win you get to pretend you’re still a fan and now that they’ve lost you get some sort of weird smug satisfaction out of that too. Cool.
This is a problem throughout the entire 32 team fan base.
I think it gets magnified even more with the poster-child suffering fan bases, like Buffalo, Cleveland, Minnesota for instance.

McDermott put all the chips on a game "tying" FG with a struggling kicker. You can't make this up.
Neutered Allen and played small ball which favored the Chiefs...get used to an empty trophy case.
No way. Josh was slinging it that last drive. Missed a TD on 2nd down, couldn't find anybody open on 3rd down.

Had a TD to Shakir that ended up short due to being hit as he threw by Chris Jones...I can't really complain about it...just a good play by the DT who was mosgtly silent all night long.
I dunno, I thinking he was hit after the throw there. Just a poor throw.

The massive incentive for the NFL to keep the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Lol, correct.
On the flip side, if SF wins, then it pisses off Steeler fans, they'd have 6 SBs also. Win-win!!
