Bill from NYC

Hurts has spent his entire college and NFL careers on teams that ranged from very good to great. When he was Alabama he was the 2nd best passer on the team, and some Crimson Tide Fans make the case that he was 3rd best. Whatever. He was always a very good, strong runner who made great decisions wrt when to take off and run, and a good passer. I never saw Hurts panic. He is completely calm, smart, and focused, and btw unusually strong. If you put Hurts on the Patriots, Jets, Giants, etc. I don't think that he would fare very well. The Eagles have a defense that gets them turnovers and good field position. Their offensive line is great, as is Barkley. I would kill to have Davonta Smith on the Bills and he is their #2 receiver. In other words, he has everything he could possibly need on the Eagles and in this scenario he is everything they need at QB and more. Is he Josh Allen or Mahomes? No, but who is? This thread asks if he was the Super Bowl MVP. Damn right he was! He ran for 72 yards and a touchdown, and threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, as well as picking up clutch first downs. The Chiefs took Barkley out of the game and it was up to Hurts to come through which he did, clearly imo, so yes; he deserved to be MVP over any other single player. Jmo.

Do you not see how the above sentences contradict? If McDermott tells him what position he wants Beane to draft and Beane does as McDermott wishes, how is this having autonomy? For example, if Beane wants a defensive tackle and McDermott wants a corner, are you making the case that Beane will win out every time? The relationship cannot completely be equal imo. I think that one of the HAS to have more power than the other. Also, do you think that Beane can fire McDermott? I for one strongly doubt it. In any event, I find this to be an interesting topic.

Do you excuse McDermott? I find it impossible to believe that Beane has autonomy, or even the deciding vote on who to draft and when. Many seem to forget that when the Bills traded the Mahomes pick to KC and drafted Tre White, Beane wasn't even with the team. It would even appear that McDermott brought him in. I suppose that Beane is easier to scapegoat.

If it were not for the boxes, I wouldn't have cared much at all about the game. If the Chiefs went for one instead of two on their last TD, I would have made a large amount of money. The boxes make the Super Bowl fun imo. Not the trite commercials nor the horrid halftime shows.

Ran into a rainstorm Ducked into a bar door It was all night pouring, pouring rain But not a drop on me Test me, test me Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in the jail house Until the sun goes down Till it go down I had to move Really had to move That's why if you please I am on my bended knees Bertha don't you come around here anymore

I don't disagree. The thing is, Father Time always wins in the end. Next season he won't be any faster, and injuries will not heal sooner. I don't know what his salary is but if he is not involved with Taylor Swift when next season starts, it might not even be a good investment for the Chiefs to keep him on the roster. If he is, different story. Btw I'm not making any definitive predictions here, just throwing thoughts around.

I'm not so sure of this. He is getting older and seemingly slower.

I have watched Jalen Hurts since his first play of his first game at Alabama. He is a good, at times VERY good quarterback. When you put him behind a great OL and give him terrific receivers, he is a winner. The Eagles won this game primarily due to the excellence of both the OL and the DL. The OL gave Hurts the time to find his deep and excellent receiving corps and utilize his running skills. When DeVonta Smith is your #2 receiver, you have one sick roster. On one of the tush push plays, Landon Dickerson was three yards in front of the first down marker. They made it look easy. Their DL was fast and also VERY strong. If Josh Allen played on the Eagles it would be all but impossible for them to lose a game to any team under any circumstances because Josh Allen is GREAT. The Bills need to model their team after that of the Eagles. The NFL Champion Chiefs couldn't do a damn thing against the Eagles OL and DL except get pushed around and knocked on their a$$es. The Bills should go into this draft and free agency thinking about what they watched on tv yesterday. Their priorities need to be adding strength and speed to the DL, depth to the OL, and of course fast receivers. This is how the Eagles won with Jalen Hurts at QB. I hope that McDermott is able to see the obvious and resist wasting a first round pick on a defensive back. End of rant.

The 2008 draft was also shockingly bad. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2008_draft.htm

Thanks, my mistake. I will edit it.

Levy's 2006 draft destroyed any chance of the Bills being a strong team. That draft was loaded with good players (seemingly unlike 2025). Levy had 5 picks in the first three rounds, to include the #8 in round one. He wound up with these 4 players: Donte Whitner (DB) John McCargo (DT) Ashton Youboty (DB) Ko Simpson (DB) This horrendous draft set back the Bills for 5 years or so and I posted at the time just how screwed we were. Jauron was far from my favorite coach but he was given little to no chance to win, given Levy's drafts and Mr Wilson's "cash to cap" (for those who remember).

Sad news. He seemed like a very good person. RIP.

I think that this will be the most interesting Super Bowl ever, because: 1) Kelce has lost a step and we don't know how much longer he will play. 2) The NFL has already made a ton of Taylor Swift money. Goodell had to address accusations of the NFL being rigged, and these accusations are NOT from just Bills Fans by any means. Fans across the nation (if not the world) see what they suspect is happening. 3) The NFL could lose a huge amount of mony if fans lose interest in a sport with about as much integrity as the WWE. As @LA Bills Fansays above, money will always dictate their decisions. Because of the above, I think that the NFL will let the Eagles win in order to save face. We might even get several screen shots of Taylor Swift crying to make this a memorable, emotional occasion to her young fans. Yes, I think that much of the game will be scripted. As one poster said above, the NFL is about them making money. I know that to many this will sound like a crazy conspiracy theory and perhaps it is. Either way it is merely jmo.

Don't you ever feel sad Lean on me when times are bad When the day comes and you're down In a river of trouble and about to drown Just hold on, I'm comin' Hold on, I'm comin'

I understand your point, but I'm not exclusively talking about KC covering. I'm saying that the league wanted them in the Super Bowl. Now they are in it and the league will get the extra Taylor Swift fans viewing the game (and the advertisements), so it might not matter as much who wins. Perhaps I am too cynical. I don't claim to know exactly what is happening. What I do know is that fans across the country (not just Bills Fans) are very suspicious. I'm just posting an opinion.
