Not able to listen to the interview, but this is a BS statement. 

 

With all the moves we've made the last few years, we should be right where they are. The problem is we've missed on way to many high draft picks and free agent signings. 

 

Knox, singletary, edmunds, oliver, phillips, addison, butler, jefferson, norman, murphy, kroft. All 0 impact players. 

 

 

 

Not really BS, imo.

 

Go back to 2013 and do the same draft/FA analysis for the Chiefs. No one is perfect, and everyone has misses. A lot of impact players we DID bring in that you left off your list.

When is Brandon up?

 

I love Sean but I know his press conference off by heart:

 

"proud of the players"

"it's part of the process"

"growth mindset"

"every year is a new team"

"some plays we'd like back"

"hungry and humble"

"people that love the game"

Edmunds, Oliver have not been stars. That's fair. 

 

Most of those other players are just guys, and they round out the roster. 

 

 

I'm not sure what fans can reasonably expect from 3rd Round Tight Ends, as we see that's a shallow position across the entire league. It's Kelce, Waller, and oft-injured Kittle and then a drop off a cliff. 

 

Singletary is limited by 4.62 speed and below average size. He's okay (maybe borderline NFL player after that Playoff performance), but no difference maker. Does every 3rd Round RB go on to become a dynamic player?

 

Phillips, again a 3rd-Round DLineman, what are we expecting? 

 

Addison, Butler, Jefferson are all FA replacements for Lawson and Jordan Phillips, and they've played like it. It was more of the same Carolina connections. The FO knew Addison was 33 years old already, and Butler was viewed as a first-round disappointment. 

 

Trent Murphy has been a FA bust. Coming off ACL surgery. Not enough of dynamic athlete. But he did help with the Ravens game. 

 

Norman, again Carolina connection and he's about done. #2 Corner has been a hole for the past two seasons. Unfortunately for Wallace, its hard to be a true starting corner with 4.60+ speed. But I'd rather him on the field than Norman. 

 

Kroft. Absolute FA bust. No idea why the FO thought he could be a starter in the NFL.

 

 

Your point is taken though, the Draft is still very so-so for the Bills, and they've had to supplement a lot in Free Agency to plug holes. Cody Ford hasn't worked either, he's a below average RT and Guard, and we could have had DK Metcalf as our Coach talks about size and speed differences in KC................

Amen man. 

 

I don't get anything from his rehearsed press conferences. 

 

You don't get any real answers to anything.

this times 1,000.  We had too many guys who didn’t really belong on the field Sunday night from a size, speed, physicality standpoint.  

 

I think Physicality was the biggest factor. And most surprising.

 

San Fran came out and tried to bully us, and we came back even harder and bullied them. Same with NE and a couple other teams.

 

That's why it was so surprising to see us look so weak and timid and soft and flat against KC. We were missing an edge, big time.

I somewhat disagree with you here. 

 

Mahomes is a year older, and much more experienced, than Josh Allen. 

 

They lost the AFCCG in 2019 and saw what they needed to get over the hump.  A few months later, they went out and got Frank Clark.  They also went out and added even more speed on offense.  

 

They are a full step ahead of us.   That step is them realizing what they were missing to get to the Super Bowl.  I think we now have a much better idea of what is needed as well.

Maybe the truth is that most 3rd round tight ends don't turn into Kelce or Kittle. The Bills lead the league by a wide margin in value on drafted players from 2017-2020. If you are complaining about our drafts what would you say about every other teams?

Why did nobody ask him why the Bills made the Chiefs look like the 85 Bears in both games against us in terms of rushing the passer and pressuring Allen but the other 31 teams in the NFL made them look below average?

Oh come on. You're better than that!

 

Sean is as honest as a coach can and should be in this league. He brings a human element to these conferences and that's a lot more than most. Would you rather listen to Belichick?

To be fair, IMHO the press does a horrible job of asking questions.  Most of them muddle about apparently formulating their thoughts into expressions as they speak, then say some version of "is that right?" and McDermott takes what they say and echoes it back to them.

 

If they perhaps gave a 1-sentence intro then asked him an open ended question, they might get better results.

They didn't need to ask him !  He knows the Bills failure on Sunday.  He knows his team needs to get faster and more physical.  He knows his decision making wasn't the best and that he got outcoached.  Stop trying to put salt on open wounds.

I don't know if this is the best spot, but any mention on how Tommy Sweeney is doing?

 

 

Been wondering too, but it drifts into Covid discussion area.

 

The cardiac arrhythmia covid link is a thing, not sure of long term prognosis.
