Didnt know Vallejo was still in the league. If you guys remember, he looked better than Milano early on, but wow have things changed.

I hope Mahomes lays an egg and Josh balls out. The narrative would certainly change.

Stand corrected! Looking back on that game I see we actually trailed 0-16. Don’t know how that escaped me.

Are you talking about the pass to John Brown along the sideline? I don’t recall the Bills being down by double digits in that one.

I’d like to see a nice, double digit come from behind victory. We almost got that with the Bucs game. Aside from that, just the ice water, clutch gene that Jordan and Brady seem to have. It’s a bit of recency bias because he had those throws last year against the Rams, Dolphins, & Cards, but this year he’s oh-fer.

I’d think this would be more on the position coach than the HC since he works much more closely with the players. When Bates went in and McD saw the effectiveness of the OL, no doubt he’d overrule any attempts to put Ford or Feliciano back in there.

Had the Pats won, KC would’ve played the Bengals.

Going back and watching the highlights of that week 5 game, Mahomes ran all over the place, often in key situations. Leslie Frazier will have his work cut out for him in this one. The offensive line will as well, as this may be the best defensive line we’ll likely see for the rest of the postseason.

Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram weren’t there when we beat them earlier in the season, so you add in Frank Clark and Spag’s aggressive blitzes and I hope Daboll is coming up with a plan that relies on screens, slants, and other quit hitters. They’re not going to give Josh time to throw.

Chiefs are an extremely aggressive defense. Need to make them pay for all that blitzing and crowding the LoS.

As explosive of a player as he is, I’d move on from Diontae if I was the Steelers. Don’t know if any WR in the league drops more passes than him, just too unreliable.

Great call!

Ben looks content to waste downs.

Earlier in the season they were getting beat physically as much as mentally (stunts/loops/etc), but now there’s cohesion across the board. Williams is playing better at guard, Brown is playing better as a rookie, Dawkins is actually looking like a pro bowler, Bates is extremely smart and aware, and Morse has been playing his best ball. They waited for more than half a season to come together, but they’re humming now. Let’s hope it continues, we’ll need these performances for a super bowl W.

The Boston “Teabag” Party

Belichick’s postgame conference was hilarious. Wouldn’t answer any question that wasn’t directly about the game, but when asked about players, specific plays, or decisions during the game, he gave the same tired answers: “just didn’t play well tonight/they made more plays than us/I don’t know/etc” 😂 Love it

Alex Leatherwood is their version of our Cody Ford.

Same thing I was thinking. Timeouts are valuable, but teams don’t treat them as such.

4 years for $60M with his production is a bargain, but it would’ve came at the cost of signing Milano no doubt. Bills have excess $fat$ on the DL that needs to be trimmed in the off-season.

Burrow was far more deserving of the pro bowl than his divisional counterpart Jackson.

What has been Allen’s biggest come from behind victory? I’m blanking here…

There’s no downside to this. People just like to complain.

That Bucs play where he ran for the first by the goal line had me worried. Was a pretty violent collision, but Josh popped right up. I agree though, the law of averages says he’s got a troubling hit on the horizon because of his playing style *knock on wood* Don’t know how you change that. I do see he doesn’t throw his body around when blocking for runners anymore.

I think Addison is a slightly above average DE who’s better against the pass than the run. The reason the Bills defense excels is not because any one player is a superstar (as evidenced by the lack of pro bowlers), but because all eleven are at least “solid.” Yes, even Edmunds. But imagine if we had someone in the front 7 who was feared? A Watt, or a Bosa, or Parsons. Oliver and Milano are the closest we’ve got, but a feared player would elevate this defense to an even higher level and I do believe you’d see less ho hum performances against the better offenses. With that said, the truth of the matter is there just aren’t any more dominating defenses in this passing game era. The Bills are #1, but would probably be middle of the pack if you were to transport this unit back to the 90s, or even early 2000s. Just have the expectation that it’s not on the defense for the Bills to win their first Super Bowl. It’s all on the Allen-led offense. If Allen climbs out of this rut he’s been in the past couple games and plays lights out in the postseason, I like our chances against any team.

Don’t let him get too many 😄 That’s how they get rolling.
