Now if YE OLE was sitting down and hashing this out... YE would want to try to keep Daquan Jones, Rapp, and either Floyd or Epenesa. Rapp wasn't great (the int in Miami notwithstanding), but we need someone there that is not Cam Lewis or Hamlin, and he has a year in the system. Some of these guys like Dodson and Jackson if they don't find a market elsewhere would be ideal to keep, but not at significant cost. Spotrac has Gabe projected around $13.6 mil and Tee Higgins projected around $18.6 mil. If those numbers prove to be reasonably accurate, and the powers that be have any inkling to try to bring Gabe back, it would be great to take a swing at Higgins instead. YE OLE would still come back and take a swing at WR in the first rd too, gents!

Lou Anarumo has really caused problems for Allen and Mahomes. If we created that kind of havoc on defense… last week and 13 seconds aren’t even close. Allen is every bit as good as Mahomes… at some point the ball will bounce our way in these close games, but our defense finding an answer would also put us over the top. I’m somewhere in the middle on McDermott, and this year he really was scraping the bottom of the barrel due to injuries, but his defense has allowed Mahomes and Burrow to go through it like a hot knife through butter. That has to change.

Hopefully we get back to that game next year with a healthy Milano and Bernard. That alone would have made a huge difference. At some point we just gotta get it done…

Praying for you and your family.

Agreed… we are all hurting and frustrated beyond belief right now to be having these conversations instead of getting ready for another game, but this is an overreaction. Rivers was excellent, but Josh already has as many playoff wins as Rivers had in his entire career. Over a decent sample size now, Josh has played unbelievably well in the playoffs. Since Josh emerged as a superstar in 2020, this team is 48-18 with a +629 point differential. The Chiefs have the next best point differential over the last 4 seasons at +431. As heartbreaking as this ride has been… things will eventually level out to where they should be. Multiple games being moved and rescheduled, deadly weather, Hamlin dying and being revived on the field are all extraordinary circumstances. The Chiefs catching us without Milano, Bernard, Tre, and half our defense on the shelf won’t always happen either. All of that to say… Josh will win a ring, and probably a couple in Buffalo IMHO.

Hard to disagree with that. Bass missing the FG wasn't even a blip on the radar. Bass having the yips is a problem, but it likely had no effect on the end of this game. There was close to 0 chance the defense was keeping the Chiefs out of FG range with the amount of time left.

This is correct. And yesterday was as painful and yet numbing as ever. We're not even to a point where the long 7-8 months until next season even matters. Next year, we will have some set of circumstances that will go our way or not go our way and win 11-14 games, and at no point during the season will any of it mean anything. We are going to have to wait a year to get back to this place again and have another kick at the can and hope that we are not ravaged with injuries. More than likely Josh is going to outperform the QB on the other side of the field (even if it is Mahomes). As others have stated... it would be shocking if McDermott gets fired, whether he should or not. It's going to be a long wait to get another crack at this.

Touchbacks are not great, but even worse would be getting a Matt Haack Special off the side of his foot for 15 yards while backed up in our end.

Josh turned on the afterburners and that was all she wrote, gents!

Kaiir Elam is THE WHIP… FACT!

When that table collapsed on Pacheco, it was as though fate was tipping her cap to Bills Mafia.

Gents, here’s the lay of the land as YE OLE sees it… We are one Baltimore win away from controlling our destiny to the 2 seed. Then we will be one Baltimore loss from controlling our destiny to hosting the AFC Championship Game.

The Autumn Wind is a pirate… robbing children of their gold.

It would be an awesome situation to go to Miami week 18 and getting the 2 seed with a win or 6 seed with a loss.

This has been sticking in YE OLE’s craw. Chris Brown has been saying all week that if Jax loses tomorrow we control our own destiny. He said it again tonight when they signed off after the game. Nate Geary reiterated it on the postgame tonight. As you have aptly states mannc… we already control our own destiny. For better or worse after the dumpster fire that was this game.

Playoff Lenny looked pretty decent there, gents!

Gents… somewhere Tony Romo just yelled “BIG GAME GABE!”

Gents, James Cook is THE GOODS… FACT!

James Cook is THE WHIP!

James Cook is THE WHIP… FACT!

We are talking about anthems in here now, gents!

This team is almost a statistical impossibility. They are plus 104 in point differential (4th in the league). The combined record of the top 9 teams in point differential outside of the Bills is 59-20.
