There's a case to be made that having the true "franchise QB", like the Bills have...make it so you can get away with cutting corners in other areas. Kansas City just proved it. Get the man an O-line, hit on some skill player draft picks and F/A's. Have a good scheme on D where guys can fit in and slow down the opponent. As you stated, in the playoffs against solid offense, you can't stop them...you can only slow them and try to win the game by scoring which Allen can do with the best of them.

I'd be fine adding a top flight WR.. if Robinson is available at our pick that would a tough one. It's a lock Bijan would go to Cincinnati at the next slot. They reportedly covet him and that would be a scary offense next season, if it isn't already.

Bijan Robinson and Michael Mayer, i think both will be pretty darn good in the NFL. If not those guys, take the best O-lineman or WR available.

Where Beane went wrong is thinking one man, a "closer" on defense would make the difference. That was assuming the rest of the D could stop the good teams out there. No one is stopping Mahomes, Burrow, Hurts, etc.. What you have to do is slow them down just enough for your offense to outscore them. Now we have a 34 years old edge rusher, with a bad knee, who is paid a gazillion dollars and eating up the cap.

Even last season when the Bengals and Rams played, Josh was doing the rounds during Super Bowl week. It was noticeable that he was absent this week. He's obviously really bummed out at how the season ended, as he should be. Hopefully they have a few more years kicking the can and hopefully he will break through.

Classless by Ju Ju. But he's all in to that social media stuff so it's on point.

Any holding that is offensive or defensive that is far away from the actual play. I'm talking like the other side of the field, should be ignored. That includes special teams. If a flag is thrown, the refs should pick it up.

What happened to Kafka, the offensive mind? Last i heard Andy Reid gave him a glowing recommendation to Arizona ownership.

Yep. That summarizes what Beane and every other GM should be thinking. NFL defenders can be coached and schemed to slow down guys like Mahomes and Hurts, but you're never going to stop them. Paying a 34 year old edge rusher, with a bad knee an obscene amount of money to get you to the promised land was a swing and a miss.

Every NFL player who leaves a game or sits out due to a "sore ankle" should look at Mahomes. That dude is a competitor. That mindset, I'm not coming out under any circumstances. That's a great quality.

Great game, great ending especially since i had several bets wrapped around the Chiefs winning. Maybe this lessens the KC hunger for next season and they have a hangover.

That was a serious hit on Pacheco.

The last 2 KC TD passes were so well designed for the defense coming at them. Newsflash, Reid is smart and Mahomes is slick

If you’re an Eagles fan you’re nervous. feels like they’ve controlled the game and KC is one TD from leading

Gonna have to freeze that the instant he gained control to know if the foot was still down

It’s like they’re playing on a light snow covered field.

That was a fun commercial. Mafia style. Good line by Jim.

Good play. I have too many bets on KC winning tonight and i really don’t want Hurts winning a SB before Allen.

On another note, I just want him to be honest instead of disappearing into oblivion this offseason. Just come out and say we sucked against Cinci, it was embarrassing as a staff, and we’re going to make adjustments and win the damn thing in 2023-24. Im tired of hearing stuff like “we didn’t get the outcome we had hoped for”. If i were a Bills player he’d lose me. I’d be tired of hearing his coach speak. I sure hope he’s a lot more competitive behind the scenes.

I think it’s the Chiefs night. Can’t shake how they destroyed the 49ers in SF this season….a hot knife through butter. I think the AFC has better teams. Also KC being embarrassed in their last SB will benefit their preparation and this Eagles team/staff are mostly experiencing their 1st SB. I have most of my online bets banking on a KC win/cover but hedged a little bit on the Eagles and some parlays.

The Bills of course had some great years in the mid-1960's and won the AFL Championship twice and came within one win of playing in Super Bowl 1. They had some good teams in the early 70's with Saban and early 80's with Chuck Knox but lost in the Divisional rounds. Then they had that great run from 1988 through the late 90's making the playoffs 10 out of 12 years and crushing us with 4 Super Bowl losses and 1 AFC Championship loss. Now they are back in another "golden era" making the playoffs 5 of the last 6 years with Allen, McDermott and Co. The last three years in particular the Bills have been a dominant team in the NFL if you analyze the numbers and should have more to show for it. All that being said, are the Buffalo Bills the most accomplished NFL franchise to never win the Super Bowl? how about Minnesota or Cincinnati? or anyone else?

I give McDermott this next season to see if they can get the job done. At least get to the AFCCG, hopefully Super Bowl. If they flame out, then ownership and GM should roll the dice and bring in new coaching talent. Other successful teams have done it, rolled the dice, and it's paid off. You can't just piss away Allen's prime years.

The Bills have dominated the NFL for 3 years and nothing to show for it. Not even a SB appearance. Diggs knows they are blowing their Championship window, especially now that Allen’s deal kicks in. 13 seconds was a coaching failure and the staff was so outcoached vs Cincinnati it was frightening. Diggs should be pissed.

The coaching simply has to be better, especially in the playoffs. If the game plan is failing, be flexible and fix it on the fly like other good teams do. I don't know if they're wasting Allen's talent, but his prime years are happening NOW and are definitely being wasted. He should've been in a Super Bowl by now. Yes, 13 seconds was the year. We had the best team, and coaching strategy blew it. As great as Allen is, he needs to button up his game a bit too. No reason he should lead all QB's in turnovers. That's crushing. Jalen Hurts has less experience, throws the ball downfield a bunch, uses his legs...and his turnover rate is way less than Allen's. Josh has to better understand risk/reward type stuff.
