I understand your argument to a point. However, personally I believe the Bills can get it done and further, that they will, I understand they have not and nothing will change people's opinion until they do. The 49ers play in a weak conference and they have the same problem the Bills do, they cant beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. It just happens to be true that they are in the NFC and cannot face the Chiefs unless it is in the Superbowl. The Chiefs have been to 6 straight AGCCG's...they are consistent and hard to beat, it's like Jordan and the Bulls or another analogy I want to avoid here.
The 49ers path in the NFC is definitely easier. Yeah in a sense they have the same problem that the Bills do relative to one team they can’t beat.Completely agree with you that the Bills can get it done. It will require the two biggest parts of the team, HC and qb, to be better than they have ever been. Allen needs to evolve to a more complete qb when facing the big moments and McD needs to stop overthinking in those moments.
Yeah I hear ya about MJ and the Bulls. Bills are becoming more and more like the Knicks of that era. SF, of course, is the Jazz. Appreciate you not using that other analogy. Haha

You think the Bills just wilted away in 13 seconds and last year? Have the 49's wilted away in their two SB losses? You make it sound like the Bills are not completive or capable of winning those games, it’s simply false. It is a fact they have lost the games but wilted away is silly. One team has demonstrated a winning formula for the last 6 years, it is literally like the Jordan led Bulls. What is your idea for the new staff? Who will it be?
You might be mixing up my opinions with others. I have not said McD needed to be replaced. But it’s clear to see that this team (players and coaches) has a ceiling that is preventing them from beating the best of the best teams.Your 49ers example is not the same. They have risen up through their bracket to the final challenge. That’s not easy to do. Just like those 90s Bills superbowl teams. This current Bills team has failed to do that and it’s on every player and coach.

When you say "this often"... it's exactly THREE games.
NFL history shows that we create these narratives based on a small sample sizes, they eventually prove to be totally wrong.
As I mentioned, Andy Reid was the guy who couldn't "rise to the occasion" in the big moment. Now he's got three Super Bowl rings, is considered the best HC in the entire league, and very possibly isn't done yet.
Oh yeah. It’s only 3 games. Guess how many playoffs games they’ve played in the last 4 years? Omg 3. So 100% losing rate. Yes that qualifies as often. And the one year they didn’t meet in the playoffs Bills lost to the other team that has advanced further than them. Again rising to the occasion seems to be a very consistent problem since Allen has been in the playoffs.With regards to Andy Reid. Yes he was a whipping boy in the media for failing in big moments for the majority of his career. Guess what happened to change that narrative? Yeah some kid named Mahomes showed up and now Reid is considered one of the best coaches of all time. Funny how that works.

Has to be WR at 28.

Apparently he had just left the driving range when my son-in-law got there wearing a Bills cap. Hailee is from the area.
Golf is a wonderful game and he sure loves it. Wonder what comes first? Allen’s index down to 3 or Bills winning a superbowl? -

And one more thing. People who argue that McDermott has failed because he hasn't won with a great QB are wrong. Last season was the first season where Allen began to run the offense like a great QB, and he didn't do it consistently. He's improving, but he still can't do it like Mahomes. And if you watch the video of Kincaid's targets, it's clear that Allen isn't accurate enough.
McDermott's QB is good but not good enough to support an indictment of McDermott's coaching ability.
Whenever anything that’s brought up about Allen’s inconsistent performance the board goes nuts protecting him. The truth is he has to improve in the big moments as well as McD.31 minutes ago, Ballhawk said:Honestly, in the modern day NFL I don't think any defense can be counted on to win a championship. The rules continue to favor the offenses. If anything I thought the adjustments McDermott and Beane made halfway through last year to improve the defense gave the Bills a real chance. People forget there were plenty of games (like the first game of the year against the Jets) where the defense kept a woeful (and healthy) offense in the game.
Come crunch time on the modern NFL, the best offenses are unstoppable. When the Chiefs took over in the SB, needing a touchdown in overtime, with 4 downs, plenty of time and modern NFL rules to protect them, it didn't matter what defense would have been out there. The 85 Bears could have played that series and they would have been scored on (and have committed about 10 fouls!).
I always find it funny when people blame one side of the team as though the performance of the O and D are not connected. McDermott still has to prove his team can finish and win the Superbowl, but he's proven he's a capable leader and coach.
Absolutely! People keep dreaming about a defense that could stop Mahomes from a game winning drive in the big moments. It rarely happens. Elite QBs will score in those situations. That’s why it’s imperative that our elite qb needs to get points in that situation. That last drive in this past playoff game was a fail. Hopefully it sticks to Allen this offseason so he could be better next time.-

The fact that our wins keep coming in the regular season and theirs keep coming in the postseason is just stupid dumb luck.
When it has happened this often you cannot chalk it up to dumb luck. One team (coaches and players) rises to the occasion while the other wilt. Attributing these losses to dumb luck will only further the same results.-

I'm not bashing him. I don't think he made a crazy, ridiculous decision.
It was just the trade that enabled KC to become a new dynasty that sends us home every year in the playoffs. I would still feel bad about it. Being the architect of your own destruction and all.
I know what you mean. Just gotta find a way. -

McD probably really regrets trading the best QB in football to a conference rival and one of the greatest coaches in the NFL, moreso now that none of the yields of that trade are even on the roster.
I would feel bad too.
Can we get past this? How could he have known who KC was picking ? It’s not like he’d draft Mahomes if they had kept the pick. He would’ve taken a defensive player at 10 as well. So he did the right thing by trading down for more picks. They landed on Allen the next year so all that is moot. KC has got their franchise guy. Bills got theirs. Everyone is happy. There are plenty of things to bash McD about without ever bringing this up again. lol-

Unless Allen starts to play on defense too, I don’t think he can do much more. Allen has been good enough to win a Super Bowl for a few years now. The problem is on the other side of the ball.
I get that the defense hasn’t exactly been stellar in the brightest moments. It could be that facing guys like Mahomes and Burrow defenses aren’t going to hold up. Those guys will find a way to score if you give them the ball last.
So when you get the ball back with a drive to win against Mahomes in the playoffs you gotta deliver if you’re that guy (and he is). You can’t fumble trying to fight for meaningless extra yards. You’d have to manage the clock and try to score last at the same time. It isn’t easy to do but that’s why there are elite QBs. It’s not just arm talent. Most of the time it’s the mental aspect of the game that separates winners and losers for the top of the top QBs.
Hopefully this last playoffs failure could provide Allen with another learning opportunity and building block for the future. Next time he’s in that situation it might be a different outcome.

I figured he would come back as our Practice Squad QB. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in house - that's pretty much his ceiling in Pittsburgh anyways.
He might beat out those other two guys.-

I think the Josh evolving part is on the mental aspects, in terms of game management.
This was how I took it as well. Until Allen takes that final step in his game I don’t think Bills can win a superbowl.-

My feeling on this thread
Have a feeling this thread will drag into next offseason…or another iteration of this I’m sure. -

Keep doing it. Sky Moore and Mecole Hardman were whiffs of 2nd round picks. Rashee Rice is the only one that they've seen to hit on.
I doubt KC is complaining too much about it given the success they’ve had. We complain about Davis and Shakir around here. Those guys are all world compared to Moore and Hardman. Just hard to believe KC has won back to back while the Bills haven’t even sniffed the Superbowl. Just unbelievable.4 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said:He's busting his ass working on his short game. Never too early to prepare for next February.
You’re talking about 5 yard crossers right? 😅 -

Then we should compare ourselves to the playoff teams that keep showing us the door.
Have we closed the gap between us and KC by cutting Mitch Morse and moving McGovern to center and making Rapp a starting safety?
No. Obviously not.
I don’t think it has and it’s hard to envision advancing further than divisional. But they still have to play the games so who knows. Let’s be optimistic. -

I am not really sure why folks care so much about trying to pretend the Bills are a better football. We still have Josh. It doesn't really matter.
It matters because these playoffs exits have proven that just having Allen is not enough. He needs help.-

At best it’s even, roster wise, compared to last year. But it’s not a step back. Bills will still win the division and be #2 or #3 in the playoffs again. That’s where it will end. This roster hasn’t taken any significant steps forward in terms of talent so it’s difficult to envision getting past the divisional. That’s our ceiling the last few years and it won’t change.

I'd argue the only part of the passing game that has declined is the deep ball. With the addition of our run game this past season, the numbers were bound to go down and they really didn't drop that much. I'd also argue the lack of deep ball came from the shift in opposing defensive focuses to a cover 2 look. Most passing teams saw the same decline in deep passes.
This has been the trend of the league the last few years. It forces offenses to be patient and matriculate the ball down the field. It works because not too many qb’s have the patience to do this without committing mistakes along the way.Yes we need a cheaper replacement for Diggs. That contract, along with Von’s, is a noose around this organization. But don’t expect the deep bombs to comeback with regularity regardless of which receivers Bills add. The game is about being patient and minimizing mistakes from the qb position. Methodically moving the ball down the field while playing keep away from your opponent. Of course that conversation will continue in the many many threads addressing it. lol

As long as the Bills have Josh Allen as QB there’s a chance of winning a championship.
I used to think this. Especially after 13 sec. Now it’s more ‘As long as the Bills have Allen there’s a chance of winning the division’. Winning a championship will depend on a lot more than having Allen as qb.-

Can I reserve my judgment until next Jan? Anything prior seems pointless.

According to this KC would have gotten the same 3rd round pick if they just let Sneed walk. That means all they really got was the 7th!
Comp picks are after the regular picks I believe. So essentially a little better. Especially if the Titans are bad again.They didn’t really gain an extra 7th either. Just flipped theirs with Tenn. Really just a case of getting whatever they can for a player they wouldn’t be able to keep.

Poyer talks about 13 seconds
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Great of Poyer to not point fingers even though he’s no longer on the team. You can tell it still bothers him.
The team really need to let this go and move forward. It seems like they’re still stuck on this game and what could’ve been. I know most fans definitely are. Time to move on.
