And even after that.. the predictions will be just slightly less worthless.

This is the impact Allen has, the ability to bring a grown man to tears simply by acknowledging his hard work. I don’t think there’s another QB in the NFL who leads and carries his organization with as much class and dignity as Josh Allen, he’s all in unlike any QB I’ve seen in the past.

Hurts was very good, but yeah the Philly pass rush was the MVP. I seen some people today saying that KC had Recievers open but Mahomes either didn’t have the time needed to find them or the rush was causing him to believe he had no time and making him bounce around the pocket with antsy feet.

So Worthy putting up a stat line after the game was over has triggered some people ? Weak

Oh boy, he looks like the cat who caught the canary.

You’re a mean man

Yeah I think you’re painting with a wide brush, but I’m guessing you know that lol. Allen is the main reason they’re good, there’s no doubt about that, coaching has hindered his legacy with these post season defensive performances by McDermott. McDermott isn’t going anywhere so none of these opposing opinions amount to a mound of sh*t.

They stopped changing regimes because they drafted 17 lol… had they not drafted him they would have continued on the regime change merry go round. Bills will be a contender as long as he’s healthy and playing, that’s why expectations have changed and it’s why not meeting those expectations brings questions as to what changes need to be made to go from contender to actually winning a championship. I don’t think I’ve seen a single person suggesting a change of HC guarantees a SB victory.

Ok if you want to ignore a 1st place vote because you disagree with the way the voter got there, it’s definitely your choice and understandable. I just put much less value(zero value) in any vote that isn’t a 1st place vote.

If management is happy being competitive every year then McDermott will be here for the duration of Allen’s career, and I believe that’s exactly the case. McDermott isn’t going anywhere, but I don’t think it’s ridiculous to suggest at some point the higher expectations demand a change at head coach. Pegula loves McDermott and he’s not going anywhere in my opinion.

You used the word “probably” when talking of an immediate step back in competitiveness, I appreciate you being honest because many like myself don’t believe losing McDermott automatically means be less competitive. I think McDermott is a good coach, even a very good coach, but he may have maxed out this opportunity he had in Buffalo and although change doesn’t guarantee success, it does offer a new perspective and a new pathway for a team knocking at the door for years.

I think it’s less about the record against Reid and more about McDermott being the reason for the 13 second collapse. every coach losses to Reid for the most part, but after Allen bailed out the defense for the 2nd time in the final 2 minutes, McDermott soiled his pants with 13 seconds and the world watched.

While true, Allen was the only player aside from Lamar who received a 1st place vote. I still rank Allen 2nd in MVP voting last year because I’m not putting players ahead of him because they got more 2nd and 3rd place votes, not a single voter thought anyone other than Lamar or Allen were the MVP. I just think the ranked voting is lame.

I would tend to agree that you could say this about virtually every team outside of KC, who’s proven track record certainly demonstrates they definitely have a good enough HC and good enough players. McDermott and the Bills roster has a much different track record.

Yikes: In the #Bills last 5 playoff losses, they've had the WORST PPG defense of ALL TIME in the Super Bowl era. Giving up a whopping 33.2 PPG This nugget came from a thread on X, I haven’t fact checked it but it feels right and if true it’s a bad look for a defensive HC.

McDermott is good but not good enough The talent is good but not good enough

Elite: Allen Dawkins Brown very good: Shakir Benford Johnson Oliver good: Groot Milano O’Cyrus McGovern Bernard Rapp

Beane has drafted a lot of very good players, he hasn’t lucked out and had one of these late 1st rounders turn in Watt or McDuffie. Beane needs to eliminate the need for draft luck and trade for an established great player(Crosby). Beane hit the home run with the Diggs trade, injury luck destroyed the Von signing, it’s time to go get it done via trade. Allen will turn 29 this year, hurry the fawk up.

No worries, everyone is just trying to figure out what needs to be done and sometimes points get lost in translation in written format. I’m not very hopeful they’ll get it right, but I desperately want to be wrong.

I’m guessing you think I was saying the Dline is horrible or never makes a play in big games, of course they’ve made a play here or there in a win. The problem is in their playoff losses the Dline always comes up short because they’re just not talented enough. When was the last playoff loss where everyone said “damn, shoulda won that game the Dline dominated” Stevie Wonder can see the pass rush is an issue every postseason, nobody should be surprised they were a middle of the pack Dline all season, of course they weren’t gonna show up in crunch time in KC. Shout out to Oliver, I thought he left it all out in the field in KC.

Yeah, Beane and company knew when they signed him that an elite level pass rusher was needed and I’m sure they’re more aware than ever it’s still the #1 need. Go do whatever it takes to get Crosby or Hendrickson, nobody wants to hear about salary cap restraints. Allen will turn 29 this year I don’t give a flying fawk if the salary cap is a complete mess 4 or 5 years down the road. Go do what’s necessary to finally get the job done or at least go down swinging, it’s no longer time to worry about future cap implications. IMHO.

It’s the biggest single factor leading the Bills to zero SBs or even zero appearances, the absolute failure to build a SB level pass rush. The Dline isn’t good at all, it fails to make game changing plays in the biggest moments. It has to be the number one priority of management in the coming weeks and months.

Man, it’s so depressing picking this late in the draft every year, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope you get TJ Watt type of luck with these late picks. Max Crosby almost seems crucial at this moment, maybe the further away from Sunday’s game we get the more hopeful I’ll become with the upcoming draft.

lol yeah, appreciate the effort there to lessen the blow… 13 seconds will be remembered because KC stole a game with 13 seconds hence the name, but nobody outside of Buffalo and KC will remember or care about what Allen did in those final 2 mins twice. Its about Mahomes completing 2 passes in 13 seconds to everyone else, and that’s just the way it is.
