    Enjoy the emotional rollercoaster and at least we have a team with a chance to get to and win the SB.


    Given results of the last four years this is a very generous classification for this team.

    Win one? I think the vast majority of fans would settle for just getting to a Super Bowl right now. 


    I’m not sure about majority. It seems like there’s a lot of fans that still think this team with Allen will win multiple championships.

    I just don’t understand why the regular season success never translates to the post-season. Why not go in w/ the same game plan you had before? Something needs to change and I hope this is the year because I am getting sick and tired of the same outcome. Kansas City w/ the close dramatic win in the playoffs. I want the Bills to go into Arrowhead and slaughter them like they did to the Pats. 


    This will happen…in about 10 years when Mahomes isn’t there anymore.

    First of all, Kansas City had the ball last, not Buffalo.  On Buffalo's last drive Diggs dropped a bomb from Allen that would have been a GW TD or at least the go-ahead score.  Despite that, the offense was still productive enough to move all the way into the red zone, and if not for Dawkins getting mauled by Chris Jones, Allen throws the go-ahead TD to Shakir.  But he still got us into game tying territory if not for Bass having the Yips last year.

     

    As for all the other stuff you said, this was a thread about the offense, not the defense or how far the team advances in the playoffs.  That's for other threads.  I just said that our offense this year will be better if Shakir and Kincaid progress, which I think they will.


    I thought you’re an avid football fan so I didn’t feel the need to be specific. Let’s try again. The offense had the ball to win the game and failed. Is that better?

     

    You’re the one that said since we have Allen we’d be as successful with this receiving transition as KC was with theirs. I don’t think that will be the case. Let’s see how it goes.

    I was only responding to your response about Allen and the potential for this offense to do something similar the KC the past two years, that’s all.

     

    I still have plenty of concerns about this team, particularly the defense, when it comes to crunch time against good teams. I also expect the Bills O to struggle early in the season while they try to integrate a lot of new players and kinda/sorta a new offense. However I expect the O to get things together by game 5-6, though with this schedule that might be too late…

     

     

     

     


    So was I to the OP. The past two years KC ended up winning two Super Bowl trophies and Mahomes won MVP in the first year of changing receivers.

     

    My point was Bills couldn’t reach the Super Bowl with more talented receivers how will they do it with lesser talent? I don’t see that happening here this season.

    The Bills offense isn't what's prevented Buffalo from advancing in the playoffs. Actually, the offense had one of its best games in the divisional round against KC when Gabe was out and Diggs was MIA.


    Offense had the ball last in that game. But I’m not necessarily disagreeing with your point. So you’re saying defense has come up short. How has the defense improved going into this season that would propel this team with Allen and a lesser receiving corp into the Super Bowl?

     

    As great as Allen is this will be a transition year. Bills will probably win the division to make the playoffs but bow out as usual. I’m predicting a wildcard round exit. Next season is the better shot of a championship run. Imo.

    Defensive performance in the playoffs, plain and simple. The Bills’ D, either do to players, coaches or injuries has not produced like the KC D. Football is a team game…

     

    There’s also the idea of trying to use such a small sample size as playoff football to justify a take, why not use the much larger sample size of “all games played.”


    Ok all fair points. So how have those issues improved where a Super Bowl is possible this season? That is the discussion here.

    All those other teams don't have Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. 


    Mahomes and KC made it to two Super Bowls with a dynamic receiving corp then made it to another two after they replaced those guys with jag’s. So yes other teams don’t have Mahomes. 
     

    Allen and the Bills case aren’t the same. They have not made it to any Super Bowls with a much better receiving corp than what they’re rolling with this season. To expect the same success as KC with mediocre receivers just because of Allen is misguided.

    If Flores was as verbally abusive and toxic as Tua alleges, I’m pretty sure he should have apologized.  
     

    Also he never directly admitted he was wrong.   You could interpret this quote different ways including your interpretation which was that he admitted he was wrong without actually saying it.   To me, it sounds like he’s trying to come as well as he can without admitting wrong doing.

    “Look, I’m human. So that hit me in a way that I wouldn’t say was positive for me,” Flores told reporters Tuesday.
     

    “At the same time, I’ve got to use that and say ‘Hey, how can I grow from that? How can I be better?’
     

    “Do I feel like that’s me? No. But how can I grow from that situation and create a world where that’s not the case that anyone says about Brian Flores?”

     

    Again, it speaks to the strength of his statement though I’m not sure if it was genuine sentiment as much as it was smart PR.  
     

    Also Brian Flores never crossed paths or worked with Bill Parcels.


    Aristotle never crossed paths with Socrates. Doug Pedersen never crossed paths with Bill Walsh. It doesn’t mean their philosophies wasn’t a direct influenced by the former.

    It seems like a very well crafted response.  There’s one thing that missing though - at no time did he apologize to Tua.  That leads me to believe there is still bad blood and the positive things he said about him at the onset were performative 


    Flores is from the old school Parcells way of coaching. Just acknowledging that was wrong is enough for me. Sometimes you gotta give people the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think he owes Tua an apology. Nor do I think Tua is wrong for airing this out like some people do. It’s an experience that both can learn from and move forward.

    So imagine what they could do with a hurry up O killing defenses and not allowing them to breath

    What happens if they fail to convert 1st downs efficiently therefore killing our defense and not allowing them to breathe.

    I don’t disagree with this, even though I find it super weak.
     

    In the past I’ve been really mad that they are wasting Joshs’ prime, but realized the past year or so that Josh could change it tomorrow if he wanted, yet he doesn’t.  Josh must also be ok with this good but not great, family and culture before anything it takes to win a Super Bowl mentality.  Liking each other, all getting along and culture are just more important to them than winning a Super Bowl.  
     

    So I have adjusted my expectations and give a f**k accordingly.


    No way. He had a vivid parade dream and everything.

    A 3 games losing streak AND 4 games losing streak? No way that’s possible with Allen at qb.

    Andy Reid had Alex Smith, Michael Vick, Kevin Kolb, Donavan McNabb and Jeff Garcia play their best football in his system. That’s 5 QBs he got the very best out of and came up short. Mahomes was the guy that helped him get his rings but I think it’s pretty safe to say Reid has had a big impact on his play. 


    Reid unlocked all of Mahomes’ potential. Mahomes opened up all of Reid’s play designs. Just like any legendary coach qb relationships throughout NFL history they compliment each other.
