Saw him in an interview, and he's talking about how cool it would be to be the repeat champs, etc.. He's excited for it. He wasn't being cocky or arrogant, but he just has a confidence and swag about him. The guy is not rattled whatsoever by the big stage and the big moment. He knows going in that he will play well, it's not even a question. That combined with his arm, athletic ability and QB IQ, is a pretty lethal combination.

Heard a breakdown on tv of how McVay& GM orchestrated this trade from a resort in Cabo San Lucas last weekend. Apparently, McVay and Bills WR coach Chad Hall are great friends from their high school football days when they were both QB's on rival teams in the same town. Matt Stafford's wife is the former Kelly Hall, Chad's sister. So McVay has some round about relationship with the Stafford's and the trade worked out.

It's a lock that McKenzie will be wearing a Miami Dolphins helmet next season. He torched them in that final, very impressive game and I'm guessing the Fins will make him their primary returner and new offensive weapon. McD and Daboll should be charged with neglect for not utilizing McKenzie more in the KC game while the game was still competitive.

Feel for the game. I don't think we had the plays, or the execution to convert those 4th downs,..certainly not the goal to go one. I'm fine with the FG at the end of half. The other one, 4th and 3? he probably should have went for. But McD saw what i saw, the Bills simply were not executing well in that game until the very end when the Chiefs were playing softer zones.

I can't disagree with that. But dang, he should have picked Buffalo and he would've been with all his Carolina boys..and a gunslinger QB. Oh well, we have Dawson Knox and Lee Smith...all good.

At the beginning of a segment with Greg Olsen, Cowherd was sarcastically apologetic about helping to steer Olsen to Seattle last summer (in a series of texts). Olsen said he had a good experience with the Seahawks but he'd be lying if he didn't have some buyers remorse. Said he has a bunch of friends on the Bills. Anyway, just thought it was interesting.

The Chiefs put to bed the notion that the team will get rusty if they tank it in week #17 and bench all their important players. They got some rest, got their minds right and came back rejuvenated and Better.

Washington wants him too. But they are listed as having only the 6th or 7th best deal in the Watson sweepstakes... and they aren't parting with Chase Young or Terry McClauren.

This might be a strange thought process but he or his agent might try to orchestrate the best trade to an NFC team. The AFC is fairly loaded with QB talent and it's harder at this point to get to a Super Bowl. You have to get through Mahomes, Lamar, Baker, Allen, Herbert, Tannehill...and don't forger Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence soon on the scene. The NFC side has Russell Wilson and a mish mosh of aging stars or mediocre's.

Yep. I heard an interview with one of the Tampa Bay DB's yesterday. He said the same thing. He was playing edgy against Green Bay receivers,,doing a lot of grabbing, hand checking, anything to ruin the WR's timing and it worked. The refs pretty much let everything go. So we'll see in the Super Bowl if the refs start calling it on both clubs. Meanwhile the Bills just play 5-7 yards off the receivers and that's our strategy in a big playoff game. SMH.

Was listening to a radio interview with one of the Tampa Bay defensive backs today. They asked him how they were able to stop Green Bay on a few red zone chances and get them off the field on some big 3rd downs? He said they had to play "edgy" against GB. Edgy and physical against their receivers. I'm curious if they can succeed that way against KC in the Super Bowl because Buffalo wasn't the least bit edgy on Sunday night. On the flip side, KC was "sticky" against our broken down WR group,,,, just can't happen in a big game.

people like to Monday morning QB this to death. but I don’t think we convert either 4th down. i don’t even think Allen gets a clean pass off and if he does our receivers we’re blanketed. Go ahead and kill McDermott, but we lose that game 10 out of 10 times. Chiefs are just better right now, and beat us twice to prove the point.

When i was kid i remember my grandfather and my uncle used to carry around little bottles of smelling salts in their pockets. Never thought much of it... It was strong and would knock me awake when i took a whiff. They were not NFL QB's so i really don't know why they needed them? I just figured it was an old person thing, lol.

True, this playoff loss didn't sting quite as much. For me, it's because the club exceeded my expectations just to get to the AFC Championship game. I figured playoffs, yes, and hoping we would win a game. Also, it was apparent to me (and many fans) midway through the 2nd Qtr and on that KC is a better team right now. Maybe if there had been a play or two that i could say changed the entire outcome of the game i would be pissed. But in my opinion, we lose that game 10 out of 10 times.. They were going to outscore us no matter what. And they already beat us at home too. So the Chiefs are better and I can admit that. Will we be back next year? I dunno. It's an easy thing to say to make us all feel better. But getting back here will be hard.

I don't see it. But with Allen here it is nice to know Buffalo is a destination city for talented F/A's that want to win now. Look how excited Beasley and Diggs were to come here to play with Josh.. On the defensive side, lot's of opportunity here as well.

I agree with you.. saw this as well during the game. KC sped up the game with their D-line and a few blitzes and Josh's eyes weren't quick enough to get him out of trouble. So he ended up throwing a few high incompletions to the sidelines (which would not have gained much yardage anyway)...a few sacks when he just held the ball forever...a few throw away's. In the first half i wanted more scrambles but I'm sure both Daboll and Allen wanted to crank up the passing game and kinda' forced it. This is one of those games we can revisit and "what-if" all day, but the bottom line is that KC has better personnel on both sides of the ball. Right now Mahomes is just better than Allen at the quick decisions when things go south in the pocket. Plus he has better athletes to sling the ball to...but i have to credit Mahomes. He's the best right now.

McKenzie was certainly underutilized, especially when KC would throw speed in our face and we had no answers on offense. Gabe should not have played. who made that decision?!?

He looked disheveled with his scraggly hair and beard going. On another note, thought i read today that not only does his dad have Covid but his siblings too. (I'm pretty sure i read that quote somewhere from Josh).

With Daboll here and Allen throwing the ball all over the place, the Bills should be able to attract whatever burner WR's are out there on the market.. The offense can't be just Allen to Diggs next year. If that's taken away, we're dead.

Eh, when it's all said and done, McDermott's team did not have a professional football offense that's tried and true. The loss of Moss was probably pretty huge too. There's a formula. Mahomes might have the only skill set, weapons and scheme where he can get away with throwing heavily in a huge game. Every other club needs some semblance of a running gameto pull off the play action or whatever.

Gabe Davis was done after his injury early against Baltimore. Not sure of the thought process to play him yesterday. He was obviously easy to cover since he was blanketed the entire game.

FG's didn't matter... If we don't kick the FG's the game would have ended 38-18. We likely weren't scoring TDs on those 4th downs. Our offense wasn't getting any easy looks. They probably should have gone for the second one though. The big back breakers were the Singletary drop to kill a 3rd down conversion with a lead in KC territory and the INT while still trying to get back into it.. and the 15 yard running backwards sacks.

My main issue with last night is that it was too easy for the Chiefs. AFC Championship game and we were butter...KC was the hot knife. They flipped the switch and we had no answers. When the game mattered, Daboll could not devise a plan. The Bills were a one trick pony on offense, Allen to Diggs. That pretty much fizzled in these last 2 games. The D got manhandled in 2 of our 3 playoff games... KC definitely has more talent on Offense and Defense. But their schemes are better too. It will be interesting to see if Josh can put together another season like he had. His decision making under pressure is curious..

This was a very disappointing loss obviously, but for some reason i’m not too down. i think from Q2 on you could see we were not the better club. Easier to take this than a last second Mahomes come from behind win or something like that. I think the Bills were a bit exposed in the playoffs. Cant just be Allen and Diggs next season. They need some balance, more speed, a running game, more stout of a defense.

KC has a very good D that isnt talked about much. when they scheme and take the game seriously like they did tonight, tough to beat. Their DBs were all over our receivers. their receivers were wide open. disappointing
