Yup. If the Niners could have taken advantage of that INT, he threw at the start of the 2nd half then the conversations we are having about him are probably different.

They have earned it. They have a dynasty thing going now. I am hoping Harbaugh can now give them some serious competition within the division. Force KC to go the WC route and play on the road in the playoffs. Even though they won at Buffalo and Baltimore, teams would still have a better chance upsetting them in the playoffs if they can avoid Arrowhead.

I agree with you if they have another winning season where they win the division and get back to the divisional round again. But missing the playoffs. I don't know about that. Terry is getting ready to ask Bills fans to dig deeper into their wallets for season and individual tickets as well as PSL fees as 2026 isn't that far off. He doesn't want a bad team going into the new place. The stadium will buy Terry a year. Bills fans will be curious to check the place out and see everything the new stadium offers. Once the "new-ness" of the place fades then good luck to Terry selling tickets with a bad team.

Bill's defense also played a part in those Super Bowls. Like the 13-3 win over the Rams. Was it the whopping 13 points they put up or Bill's D shutting the door and holding them to 3 points. Or even the 20-17 win against the Rams in the Pats first Super Bowl win. How about the INT at the end the Super Bowl against the Seahawks that preserved the win. How about making in game adjustments against the Falcons when they fell behind 28-3 only to shut them out the rest of the way so the Pats could come back and win in OT 34-28. Brady was a huge part of the dynasty but so was Bill.

2018 AFC championship game at Arrowhead. Pats 37 Chiefs 31. Just saying if you are looking for a coach to beat Reid in a big spot.

I don't think Beane was the GM at the time. Doug Whaley was.

The B's and Celtics are both having nice seasons, so they have that going for them.

If Bill wants to continue coaching, then I could see the Cowboys going after him. Jones is letting McCarthy coach on the final year of his deal. If they don't reach Super Bowl next year, then I could see him getting fired. Jones wasn't happy at all with the playoff loss to GB as they weren't even competitive. Bill at 72 or 73 probably isn't interested in a rebuild. Dallas has a lot of talent. Bill could win there very quickly.

I don't know if you saw this, as I posted it in the share some music thread. Santana is on stage with them here.

The Bengals will have their hands full with the division. The entire North beats the crap out of one another as there are strong rivalries with all 4 teams.

I can't believe Phil will be 84. Given all the hard partying they did it's amazing that any of the core of 4 are still around.

To their credit they did go to Baltimore and beat the Ravens who were the best team in the regular season this year. I don't know if the Bills would have done that.

I don't really hate the Chiefs despite the fact we can't get past them in the playoffs. For me it's the Jets (I live in NJ, so I have to deal with the fanbase) then the Dolphins and Pats.

It may take some time. I didn't say next year but Harbaugh can coach. Took the Niners to the Super Bowl and won a national championship with Michigan. Harbaugh will get them turned around and Herbert is still young. I could see LAC becoming a force in the AFC down the road.

I could definitely see that. The NFL wanting to highlight Harbaugh's return to the NFL. Plus, you have a good QB matchup with Mahomes and Herbert. But I could see a few teams the league could pick. The Ravens as AFCCG rematch. The Bengals with Mahomes and Burrow as a good matchup. Even the Texans with Stroud.

It's going to be interesting to watch the Chiefs and Chargers play now that LAC has Harbaugh. He can build a winner and the Chargers have talent. At the very least KC won't be an automatic division winner anymore.

I wouldn't be shocked if it was. Maybe now we get the Allen- Rodgers game that will last more than 4 plays. I could definitely see another week 1 primetime game again.

Do we even have the cap space to sign him. I think the Bills will try and sign some of their own FA. Otherwise, I don't expect any major moves in FA this year.

I think it's an NFL law that the Bills play the Jets week 1. We open up against them a lot and that includes a lot more than we do against the Dolphins and Patriots.

They did have the fumble after Mahomes hit on the bomb that got them down to around the 10. The INT Mahomes threw at the start of the 2nd half could have been a killer if the Niners offense takes advantage. Credit the Chiefs defense for coming up big in that spot.

The league has some very good options for the 1st game which we know will be played at Arrowhead. The Chiefs 2024 home schedule. Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Saints, Bucs.

The playoff loses have gotten old. I give him credit for changing the culture of the Bills from a losing one to a winning one. There has been a lot of regular season winning as the 4 straight division titles prove that. But the playoff losses are what people remember most. Sean McDermott is this generations, Marty Schottenheimer. Good regular season coach but can't get it done when it matters most.

Alot will depend on how well Beane does in the draft. If some of his picks can play a significant role for the 2024 season. Like Will Anderson Jr did for the Texans or Puka Nacua with the Rams. Even in our division how JD got Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall in the same draft. I doubt the Bills will be major players in FA with their cap situation, so they better have a really good draft.
