    I don’t agree with this take at all. Every Bills fan I know personally and myself felt uncomfortable with being the pick to win it all. 
     

    I’m actually happy the media has turned on us. I think the team likes being the underdog (it’s certainly where I feel comfortable), you can tell the way Allen wouldn’t give anything to anyone about one game being bigger than another, and boosted up every team we played. They prefer being the hunter. 
     

    This along with trying to prove the league and pundits wrong that Mcdermott can win it all, I hope will give them a renewed spirit. A little anger to go with that skill. Some guys just play better that way. Jordan and Brady certainly did. 

    I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing to. If you’re disputing the number of the mafia falling for last year’s hype train it might just be your group of friends. Most definitely were on board with the hype last season.

    This is obviously the key… the Bills have invested heavily in defense and need Miller, Hyde, Poyer and White healthy and performing for a playoff run…. If not, I suspect it will be more of the same…. Which is why many here want more of a “load up on offense at the expense of defense” approach.

    I think the difference this year(at least on paper) is you have at least a few teams in the conference who can beat anyone. Between the Bengals, Chiefs, Bills, Jags, Ravens, and even Dolphins(if Tua healthy), Jets, and Browns. 
     

    Last year there were 3 top teams in the AFC entering the season and entering the playoffs.(Bills, Chiefs, Bengals)

     

    I’d be shocked if Bills end up with #1 seed. Much tougher schedule with a tougher division. 

    Despite upgrades to other AFC teams I still think Chiefs Bengals Bills are the cream of the crop. 1 if not 2 will end up in the AFCCG. Chiefs Bills AFCCG let’s go!

    I agree to a certain extent. I agree that winning two is much more practical. Hard to see three wins when one of either the Chiefs or Bengals most likely have the bye week. If by some miracle if one of the Jaguars, Ravens, Chargers, or even the Dolphins/Jets grab the # 1 spot I can see a world where the Bills win three in a row. Beating both the Chiefs and Bengals in a row seems like a tall task. 

     

    Remember the team who beat the Bills the past two seasons has gone on to lose the following week. None of the Chiefs, Bengals, or Bills have managed to win over the other two in a single playoff run.

    This is what makes the #1 seed so critical. You’d likely see one of these teams as the #1 seed not both. During the 13 sec season Chiefs had the #2 seed. Even as good as the Chiefs were that year they couldn’t survived back to back Bills-Bengals combo. Then it happened again this year. Only it was the Bengals turn. Bills haven’t even beaten 1 team much less 2. #1 seed would set up to avoid a lot of these problems.

    So I ask you to please explain what makes Dorsey a bad OC? I didn’t like all the deep shots but it was later said that Allen’s elbow felt less discomfort throwing deep. 

    When team goals aren’t met it’s easier for fans to blame the OC than the all-world qb.

    No kidding. Do Bills fans want credit for admitting this? Allen’s peers are Hurts and Herbert. Now that’s actually an interesting trio to debate and rank.

    Disagree. Clearly Mahomes is on top. Allen and Burrow a tier below. I think Allen is better but would understand if someone thinks Burrow is better. Herbert? C’mon. Hurts needs to show more imo.

    I like this.  And to add on to it, even thought it's a McDermott thread, is that I've always thought that although Josh won't ever be Peyton, I think it's quite likely to be, and maybe outperform,  Elway.  They are just so similar in style, athleticism, arm, onfield attitude, everything.  I think Josh is better, physically and pure arm strength, but he's in the same period that Elway was in his career.  He's now being forced to learn, really learn, how to run a game.  It took Elway to the end of his career to put it all together.  If Josh can there in the next couple of years, he'll be fantastic for years.  

    By year 7 in Elway’s career he had taken the Broncos to 3 superbowls. Granted he didn’t win any of those but 3 chances in the big game is a long ways from where Bills are at presently with Allen.

    I love the folks around here who come to a public forum, which is a marketplace for the exchange of differing ideas, and then project their own idea as the only worth adopting...and further...poop all over any idea that differs with their own.

     

    If you live that much in your own head, OP, why would you come here in the first place?

     

    Just sit at home happy in your knowledge that we have the greatest HC of all time, and enjoy the ride.

     

    Why do you want to force your views down the throats of others?

     

     

    For attention. Offseason can be extremely boring for some.

    And Andy Reid.  And Spags.  
     

    last I saw, Mahomes didn’t hold the Philly offense to 11 points in the 2nd half.  Sure, his great play helped, but he was also throwing to wide open targets schemed open by the coaches. 
     
    if Mahomes had Mcdermott and Frazier on his sideline instead of Reid and Spags for that game he’d have one less Super Bowl ring.  Along with 1 less Super Bowl appearance.  


    agree to disagree.  

    And if Mahomes hadn’t shown up in KC Reid would still be known as a good coach that can’t win the big one and probably retired by now.

    Josh Allen appears very serious in all the events and press conference during this off season.  Compared to it, he was goofing around and loose in previous off seasons. 

     

    I usually find him playing well when he is loose and comfortable.   Anyone else notice this marked difference ?

    It’s because he’s super duper focused going forward.

    Maybe the only reason the Chiefs are winning Super Bowls and the Bills aren't is that Mahomes is simply better than Allen.   I suppose that thought will cause some people to say, "Well, then that's reason enough to put McDermott on the hot seat, because he's the one who decided he didn't want Mahomes."  Those people will flame away.   They're the people who, when the Bills win the Super Bowl, will complain that they didn't beat the spread.  

    How dare you, sir! If Reid is Allen’s coach he’d win 5 superbowls by now! Just kidding. I completely agree with you on this point. But I also believe Allen will get one eventually. Maybe next season.

    That is your view. It isn't mine. The Bills sucked that day. I don't know the reason. They just had a stinker. It can happen. It does happen. No excuses. But it's life. You ever fluffed a job interview? Ever blown a first date? Humans screw up sometimes even in big moments.

     

    That game is not a referendum on the state of the Bills. This wasn't "finding a way to lose a playoff game" it was not turning up to one.

    You’re right! That game was not a referendum on the state of the Bills. The annual failure in the playoffs is.

    Yeah, that would be nice, but how does it change your life? What happens when you can’t successfully defend the title? Is it back to complete despair? 

     

    I’m not worried about bragging rights with anyone. I do this because I enjoy the Bills. It’s really pretty simple for me, but I have evolved over time. 

    It wouldn’t change my life one iota in any tangible way. However, it would provide immense happiness as a fan. And that’s priceless.

    For someone who signed a 10 year $450M contract (Mahomes) not too long ago, I am surprised he’s grumbling about a new contract already. When you have that much money coming your way, is more going to move the needle in your life? Your kids and their kids and their kids are already set for life if used wisely. 

    There hasn’t been any grumbling from Mahomes.  Quite the opposite actually. The only folks who seem to have a problem with his contract is sports media. Specifically Florio. Who seem to think Mahomes should take every last cent from KC for some reason.

    I promise, if you do NOT make the playoffs, you will NOT win the Super Bowl. I’ll give you your money back if I’m wrong. 

     

    I do hope you are the best in your industry every day of the year, and your child is always valedictorian. 

     

    I’d love a Super Bowl. I don’t NEED a Super Bowl. We have a good and full life, and I enjoy watching our Bills on most weekends during the season.  The deeper they run in the playoffs, the more I enjoy it. But even if you DO win it all, you get ready for a new season. It’s not just about the moment of winning. For me I can enjoy going thru the seasons without having to be an obsessive malcontent. I do this for FUN. 

    This is such a great perspective about sports! Unfortunately, this is most likely a minority viewpoint among fans. Bragging rights as fans of an organization is probably top on the list. And it’s tough to have bragging rights without a title. Each year it doesn’t happen it’ll be more difficult to claim they’re even an elite team. Gotta win one.

    I think she is hotter than Britt. Britt was never really my type. And nor is Josh. Too tall and too cleancut. 

     

    Anyway I wish them much happiness. I didn't give the personal life stuff much credence when it originally broke but I am increasingly feeling like it was a factor in the Josh Allen we saw down the stretch last year. Not the only factor but a factor.

    You’re not doing Allen any favors with this opinion.

    Yeah he should be here after OTAs running wind sprints in Cazenovia Park until he pukes. Jesus what planet do some of you live on.

    The planet with a sense of humor. Try visiting it sometimes.
