    Oh boy.

     

    What will the "hook" be, the struggling WRs room?  Will James Cook be resigned?

     

    Well at least it will be entertaining.

    The hook will be Josh freakin Allen

    Hot Take: Does Bobby Babich Lose His Job?

    First off... If I were to bet, I would bet saying no he doesn't get fired because it was his 1st year

     

    BUT... I think it is at least a discussion worth having, and that he will be on thin ice next season.

     

    Some stats that are pretty alarming:

     

    29th on 3rd downs

    Let up the 4th most first downs in the league. 

    23rd in passing yards allowed and 8th most passing TDS allowed. (Insane compared to years in the past)

     

    And in the biggest game of the year against KC with two starters out in the secondary, I believe Joe Marino stated they played man around 44 percent of the time...

     

    I am trying not to make this a Sean Mcdermott discussion, as we get it as it is his scheme.

     

    But inarguably, the Bills defence outside of turnovers? Was pretty much a disaster this season and Bobby B didn't have many answers.

     

    What do you think about Babich going forward?

    Just fire the whole staff and start fresh. Mcd and company had 8 cracks at it and didn’t get it done. Time for something new

    Yes, the Bills had the ball for a potentially game winning drive at the end.  Yes, Josh maybe could have handled it better.  Yes, Mahomes may be the better QB, especially in end of game moments.   I just want to see another Bills player step up in the moment.  Make a play for your QB.  Even if he isn't quite on Mahomes' level, make a play to get the team over the hump.  Does anyone think that, in the same scenario, Kelce would drop that ball? 

     

    For all the hand wringing about Josh Allen being "unclutch", there were plenty of times that Mahomes, Brady, Manning failed.  No QB is perfect. I know that Tom Brady had a hell of a lot of help on those teams, that's for damn sure.   We have seen Josh Allen be as clutch as anyone in other games.  His play against the Chiefs in the 13 second game was as good or better than any Montana game or Brady game.   Everything is black and white in these discussions.  In reality, a lot of factors go into winning or losing at the end.  If Mahomes' receivers drop balls at the end of games, would that be an indictment on him? What if Butker misses the field goal in the 13 second game?  Does that mean Mahomes wasn't clutch?  If he doesn't have Chris Jones on his team, would his defense be stopping these teams in the 4th quarter drives?   Was Lamar Jackson "clutch" when he almost single-handedly lost his team the game in the first half? So, his one drive at the end with the Bills basically  in a prevent defense completely redeems him?  Did Josh Allen not will his team to a touchdown with a ridiculous fourth down pass to Samuel in the 4th quarter?  

     

    In the end, I don't care if Mahomes is better than Allen.  At some point, somebody has to make a damn, memorable play for the Bills other than Allen.   Make a tough catch, a crazy run, something.  Far lesser quarterbacks than Josh Allen have won Super Bowls.  I'd love him to be perfect all playoffs.  If he isn't, I'd love for someone to bail him out, which never happens.  Allen and Mahomes have basically played on even terms in their matchups, for the most part.  This isn't like a Jared Goff throwing picks all over the field or Thurman Thomas fumbling the ball all over the place.

    Unfortunately these situations define quarterbacks. He absolutely deserved the 13 second game. I’ll give him that one. However, the last 2 years have been where he needed to step up and be Superman on the final drive. He has done it many times in the past but when the season and Super Bowl was on the line he didn’t come through. Will that be his legacy ? I hope not but I know Brady or Brees or Mahommes would have scored in those situations. He still has a lot of great years ahead of him but he has to finish in those situations. No excuses.

    As I read complaints about Allen's performance, I understand he did not play his best and everyone, of course has their right to opinions. "He choked", "he missed this, he missed that", etc. I understand and empathize with the frustration. 
    i have been a Bills fan since their inception and he is the most athletically gifted quarterback I have ever seen in the NFL.

    I appreciate him as an athlete and as a person. My only point... complain and criticize him if you will, but once in a while take a breath and be thankful for the talent and heart we are witnessing from this generational person. He has brought so much joy and excitement to the organization and community. Critique all you want but appreciate what we have... where would this team be without him?

    Go Bills!

    I can appreciate what you are saying. We are blessed to get to watch 17 play and lead our team every Sunday. The fact remains he had a chance this year and last year to beat Mahommes on the final drive by scoring a TD and putting away his nemesis.  He failed both times and didn’t even get the 3 points that would of tied the game. The great quarterbacks in the past get it done in those situations he did not. To me he choked

    Josh choked tonight

    He’s great. He’s been great in the playoffs. He wasn’t tonight.
     

    Started shaky as hell. Couldn’t run all night. Couldn’t sneak. Couldn’t get it downfield (except Hollins a few times…good on Hollins). Ran right into that blitz he didn’t see to end the game and left Shakir open for what may have been a winner.

     

     Love Josh. But let’s just call it what it was—choke job tonight. If he was great we go to the superbowl. He was far from great.

    Same scenario last year. Final minutes down by 3 all he had to do was get a td and he beats Mahommes. He choked then and he choked this year. He is a great QB but definitely not clutch like Mahommes

    Trust The 1980s - 1990's Denver Broncos Coaching Process with Quarterback John Elway

    There is no way in hell I'm trusting this coach to make good coaching decisions in the final minutes of any Super Bowl (if he ever gets us there). The amount of pressure he would be under in a close game with Buffalo's first championship on the line, he botches it 9 times outta 10. Nobody can convince me otherwise. Josh would need to have to win in blowout fashion in order for us to win a Super Bowl under McDopey.

    Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes: The changing of the guard?

    I need your help.   I’m getting a petition together to remove Dan Marino and Jim Kelly from the hall of fame in order to replace them with Trent Dilfer and Jim Plunkett.   I’m going to need cash to take our arguement viral.  DM me for my venmo.

    You can chose to look at it with satirical humor but in reality if you really believe that Allen is better Mahommes you don't watch enough Chiefs games. Allen will be in  the HOF without a doubt. This is Allen's first season without the bonehead throws and turnovers. The season is only 3 weeks old and you want to anoint Allen the best QB in the league is laughable. I am a diehard Bills fan and I love that we have Allen but he is not ahead of Mahommes at this point in both their careers.

    The chatter around the Worthy trade isn't rational

    I don't see it as a nightmare.  To me, it's just another test for this organization and fanbase - another challenge.  It's a higher wall we probably have to climb.

     

    But that will make the payoff even better.  We'd all love to be fat & happy and have a couple of Lombardi's in the trophy case right now, but there is something that's still fun about the chase, at least for me.

     

    I’m about to turn 54 in a couple months I would love for it to happen sooner than later while I still have my senility.

    It's actually insane - here & nationally.  

     

    He had 2 big plays yesterday.  The 1st TD was some of the best blocking I've seen in awhile, and reflective of how good Reid is.  Most fast receivers get that TD.  The 2nd TD was a completely blown coverage, and pretty much ANY WR would have gotten a TD on.

     

    He's incredibly fast - but we knew that before the draft.  The internet went crazy last night blaming the Bills and Beane - as though we didn't expect the guy to make some plays in one of the best offenses, with one of the best QB's and best offensive minds in the game?

     

    But that's beside the point.  In all likelihood, KC would have gotten Worthy by standing pat in that draft.  Instead, we traded - and not only got Coleman, but Bishop as well.  People keep saying that if Worthy outperforms Coleman, it will look terrible for the Bills....but what if Bishop turns into a top safety?

     

    It's almost like it's in the national psyche that KC always bests the Bills.  That will probably turn out to be a good trade for both teams, but the hot take reaction was so over the top anti-Bills.  

    No matter how you want to slice it the Chiefs are a better run organization than our Bills. I’m happy we are competitive every year, which gives me hope for a Super Bowl, but the fact it was our ineptitude that gave them

    Mahommes is gonna haunt this fan base forever. Worthy looks like he is going to be a threat to score every time he gets the ball. I said it before and I’ll say again we are living in a nightmare.
