Shakir is pretty damn good and will set the Bills' record for slot yards in a season (and don't say it's because it's a 17-game season as he already missed a game. Also... "The Bills’ slot receiver ranks No. 2 in the NFL in yards after the catch with 462, behind only Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase, who has 489, according to Pro Football Focus."

Such great words from Fitz. Choked me up a bit...

I'm pretty sure we're better off with this years WRs (Cooper, Shakir, Coleman, Samuel) than last year's WRs (Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Sherfield). I'm pretty sure the Bills don't need and I don't miss Diggs' thinly veiled petulance and constant drama. I'm pretty sure Cooper and Samuel and the current guys are far more team oriented than Steph was or will ever be. I'm pretty sure Josh has grown into the bona fide leader now that Steph is gone and he doesn't have to worry about feeding an aging diva who doesn't produce in the playoffs.

I'd like O-line depth/future starter, a speed outside WR as depth/future starter/possible starter if we don't resign Cooper, and another RB as I don't want to pay Cook what the market will command. On D, CB, edge rusher, 1 tech. Maybe safety. Whatever's best value where we are.

These three guys are a priority of a Cook — a good player and has developed as more than a quick outside runner — but backs are far easier to replace.

Did NOT wear my Bruce Smith jersey which I've worn in the past for Bills games with friends. I think it has bad juju and is tainted by the 4 SB losses. This is a new team not the great but flawed 90s team that couldn't win it all. I don't think I'll wear it on game day until we win the big one.

Rex Ryan: "44% of the time he runs as a ball carrier he's run for first downs. There's no player in the history of the National Football League that can say that. Only Josh Allen." Did not know that. Yet another incredible stat. Gives more context to Rex's comments about "best football player."

Apologies if already stated here (I've read a fair bit but not all of this thread) but Von is choked up in the post-game conference. Perhaps compounded not only by the win but by passing his idol Derrick Thomas in the career sack list. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/von-miller-proud-of-my-team

Good to see he was very humble and team oriented in the post-game presser, saying "watch out when everyone comes back..." Not every WR (cough, Steph, cough) would have that attitude of team first when the season hasn't gone their way after so many games. Hopefully Brady can use him a lot more and we've got some WR depth going forward.

I told myself this game didn't mean anything, even if we won, but I was wrong. Eric Wood said, and I agree, it gives the Bills a little more confidence when we meet them in the playoffs. Yes, we've won the past three years in the regular season but don't tell me that losing in the regular season to the Chiefs is the answer to beating them in the playoffs. I'm so happy I'm gonna get drunk on a Sunday night and celebrate with the good ladies of Xhamster!

With Kincaid and Coleman out and Cooper playing hurt, I really didn't expect any offense. Was surprised and delighted by Samuel's contribution today — we don't win it without him.

I'd love the Bills to win, but not feeling good with some weapons missing. 27 - 20 KC. I'd love to be wrong.

I think he's embraced — and seized — being the leader after the departure of Steph. I think Steph acted like the alpha when he was here and Josh wasn't, at the time, comfortable asserting himself as the absolute leader. Maybe it's a coincidence but if Steph leaving aided Josh in becoming a more mature leader that was worth the cost of the dead cap.

I don't think anyone's untouchable — for the right price. But guys to build around include Rousseau, Taron, Shakir, Bernard, Benford, hopefully Kincaid and Coleman (if they progress and become who they hope they will be). But there's not a single "untouchable" guy on this team outside of Allen.

I know I'm supposed to never feel good about an injury but this pleases me. (As long as an injury isn't to the head or career-ending, I can appreciate them to the competition; the Bills have had a ton so I prefer a more level playing field.)

He asks his release from a team with playoff and maybe even Super Bowl aspirations. Gets signed by another team that might struggle to get 4 or 5 wins and is cut. Something smells off. I would bet his attitude is an issue. Maybe feels entitled and doesn't want to work or play backup.

Jerry, Jenny, John Paul, Jimmy...

Scheme-wise, I could see Reid not showing the Bills much of what he'll do in the playoffs. But I think they try to win every game and those evil ba$tards have their sights set on a perfect season and Championship. That would make me puke.

Really like Marino but why doesn't LOB have game clips? It would massively upgrade an already great podcast. Is it a money thing, where Joe can't afford the rights or something? Or conversely, is it that he saves those game clips for his paid members? At first I was like, I can't listen to 35 minutes of talk with no game footage but I grew to appreciate Joe's insights.

He's a backup WR. Good to see him produce when injuries give him more of a starting role. I'm not expecting him to give us starter production, though.

Would love to see the Chiefs lose but with Coleman out, Cooper and Kincaid hurt, I'm not feeling good about this. Hopefully Cooper plays, at the very least.

Good for James. Never ever would have guessed he'd ever win this in the past; he's running with more power and authority this year. Impressive for a light guy.

Maybe he's injured but older players don't bounce back from injury the same. I could be wrong but I don't expect to see Hill get too many more 100-yard games going forward.

Good thing, as a I said a couple weeks back, is Tyreek Hill's reign of terror appears over. Still a decent player but not what he used to be. I was told Hill's lower stats I cited for the year were because of Tua's absence. Well, in the games Tua has player since his return, here are Hill's stats... 72 yards receiving vs Cards 80 yards vs Bills 16 yards vs Rams and first TD since week 1 Decent but nothing great. Perhaps he needs to rebuild his chemistry with Tua. But I'd say it's more likely age has caught the fastest man in the league.

Interesting but I don't see McD taking out a safety and playing 3 LBs. And you need Johnson on the field, I think.
