Curious. Have you read the book “The Wisdom of Crowds” by James Surowiecki? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds

Pretty apparent they're going to roll the dice this year and just reloading for next year.

In terms of burying the lede, what does it say about our franchise and coaching that another team can take a sucky WR and make him (very likely) a world beater. They had Kadarious Toney and made him serviceable. I didn't want Worthy. Another undersized, underperforming speedster. But it does bear the question of our strengths and weaknesses. Not least of which is either a) They have a better scouting department or b) We're not listening to our scouting department So yeah, I have concerns. KC has weaknesses too. But they seem to be able to cover them up and win championships. They also have been picking at the bottom of each round of the draft for how many years now? So is that not an indictment on us? Belichik the draft genius speaks.

FTR, that 3 might as well be a 4. Im flushing 4s all day to get Worthy.

or...you call the other teams...below or even above and say KC trying to move up. Whatcu got?

I am not an expert on where we had talent and where we don't. All I know is that teams with far less talent are being way more successful built around one or two lynchpins. What i am concerned about is the psyche and temperament of this team. Turns out a lot of the folks on this board were correct in their "gut feeling" about something being off since the Cincinnati playoff game. The first KC playoff game knockout fight came down to a tactical error. I still believe that if we had won that game, we would be the ones dominating conversations and more importantly having confidence around every key game. At the time we chalked Cincinnati down to season fatigue, Damar and all that stuff. Turns out we were right. It was locker room chemistry. In spite of what the front office and coaching staff and the players kumbaya-ing said. We could see it last off season. In fact we could see it two offseasons ago. I'm glad McDermott had "a lot of good and open conversations" But the truth of the matter was McDermott didn't know how to manage it. The Tyler Dunne reporting fiasco galvanized the team. But not enough so that team was in sync enough to beat KC at home. You could see it. Everything looked fragmented. Our QB was willing the entire team to victory. It just wasn't enough. More importantly coaching doesn't trust lesser known players to do their job. But we were told we were wrong by just about everyone. I think the draft is important. But I want to see what mini camp looks like and then pre-season (yes, even preseason). This is not the Marv Levy Bills. Pre-season is a pretty accurate gauge of how this team will perform during the season. That's what the data or the book is on this team. It's gonna rough seas here for a bit. Let's see how this group weathers the storm. Our schedule is brutal.

In what planet does this make sense? 1) 2025 2nd round pick 2) 31M in dead cap space Our draft better be a 10/10. Or they just plan to tank.

If we don’t face KC in the playoffs and get to stay mostly at home next season, we win it all…That’s how good that other team is. also our schedule next season is brutal. I’m not sure our injury reports are gonna look that much better.

I hate the Patriots even now. Knowing they cheated. On a scale of 1-10. 12. I don't hate the Chiefs. That's a good organization. Excellent coach. Great QB. Maybe a 2. But I enjoy watching them. Except when they play us. Chiefs fans are cool. Can't say the same for Pats fans.

Spags, Reid and Allen would have won in KC. Spags, Reid and Allen would have won in Buffalo McD squared and Mahomes in KC would have lost to Spags, Reid and Allen from Buffalo. I am not saying McD is evil or a bad person. He's just not that kind of coach. And to be fair Reid wasn't that kind of coach until he had Mahomes. But he would have done the same for Allen.

And they beat us in ours when it really mattered. That should have been so many ways in our favor. But it didn't. Should not have come down to that last field goal. Our D played hard until the last 10 or so minutes. But our players except for Josh come up small when it matters.

Brady had Belichick Mahomes has Reid.

😂 surely sir you jest…we are miles away from both those teams on the field this evening. Beginning with head coaches. Ours just doesn’t have the temperament. The only player we have is Josh Allen. He needs to come up big. But a lot of bit/role players came up big tonight on both teams. That’s coaching. Reid is such a strategically masterful coach. There’s a reason why he fired McDermott and now has Spags as his defensive coordinator.

Mahomes, Reid and most of that team used to be so humble. Not anymore. Bad news is they're gonna be dynasty for a long while if Mahomes/Kelce/Reid stay locked in. And now Pachenco. Scary.
