Straight Hucklebuck 1,005 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 McDermott is done talking to the media for the week isn't he? Just a Monday and Wednesday press conference. So other than Friday's practice report and practice squad call-ups, there will be no further updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zow2 1,222 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Mahomes is playing for sure. Maybe he will favor the foot a little bit but his arm and brain will be fine. I like the Bills chances but they really have a lot to overcome here. It's not talked about much...but this is KC's third straight AFC Championship game. They're not going to be nervous or tight. Our guys? I don't know, they've never been here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 731 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Heard a cool stat: The four remaining playoff teams are first, second, third, and fifth in passing offense. I guess having a QB who is a competent passer is kind of important.....right Ravens and Lamar Jackson fans?? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick_Duffy 1,749 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 33 minutes ago, Mango said: Don't love Davis being a full no-go two days in a row. Also, Beasley was not on the injury report yesterday at all, but was limited today. Tough to practice passing concepts with WR1 WR3 and WR4 shelved. Yeah I'm not too concerned myself. I think it's likely just rest. He looked a little hobbled in the Ravens game, however he played through the whole game. So I think they are resting him up and hopefully it will be enough that he will be at least better against the Chiefs than Ravens. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TH3 653 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 18 minutes ago, Bills_Canada said: If Mahomes plays, the bills should play an ultra aggressive style on 4th down and go for it wayyy more often than they normally would. 4th and 4 from their own 30? Go for it. I know this is way outside what the analytics say to do in a standard game, but the reason is simple. The chiefs offense are far from a standard offense. It makes way wayyyy more sense to pull a strategy like this if the opposing offense is gonna score touchdowns on a high % of their drives, regardless where they start the drive from. Which the Chiefs are very very likely to do. So we should give ourselves max chance of putting points on the board, and not worry about what kind of field position we're giving them, since it doesn't matter that much vs an offense this potent. You could argue that they should implement the same strategy vs us. Don't see it that way....Chiefs have not won by more than 6 points in last 9 games... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teller was a rookie that had a hard time on the field in 2018 and was even worse in 2019. And yet people wanna crucify Beane for getting rid of him.

After the Bills got lambasted at the start of the 2018 season and we went 0-2, fans were calling for the heads of McDermott & Beane. It's fun being a Bills fan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GETTOTHE50 1,722 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 everyone is saying, 'oh do you really want to get into a shoot out with the chiefs? shouldnt you run the ball and try to be balanced?' blah blah blah how else do you beat the chiefs asides from trying to get into a shootout and outscore them? do people really think a 100 yd game from singletary is going to win the bills the game? its going to take a 350 yd performance from JA17 with everyone getting the ball. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We simply just don’t do anything else except pass. Why change that now? I agree 100% get into a shoot out. 42-37 Bills Edited January 21 by r00tabaga Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RunTheBall 350 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 2 hours ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Watkins is still a decoy till this day. The thing he said that scares me is that there needs to be more balance on offense and that Saturday against the Ravens was way out of balance. I hope the Bills don't overcorrect Sunday and go conservative. They have to throw. A lot. Don’t listen to a thing these guys say during the week. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Martindale let it be known he was going to bring the pressure and then the Ravens sat back all game and rushed 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
