What happens when you can’t successfully defend the title? Is it back to complete despair? I’m not worried about bragging rights with anyone. I do this because I enjoy the Bills. It’s really pretty simple for me, but I have evolved over time. It wouldn’t change my life one iota in any tangible way. However, it would provide immense happiness as a fan. And that’s priceless. 36 minutes ago, JayBaller10 said: For someone who signed a 10 year $450M contract (Mahomes) not too long ago, I am surprised he’s grumbling about a new contract already. When you have that much money coming your way, is more going to move the needle in your life? Your kids and their kids and their kids are already set for life if used wisely. There hasn’t been any grumbling from Mahomes. Quite the opposite actually. The only folks who seem to have a problem with his contract is sports media. Specifically Florio. Who seem to think Mahomes should take every last cent from KC for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Mike Florio simply try to speak it into existence. https://theathletic.com/4552865/2023/05/25/patrick-mahomes-priorities-legacy-rings/ You mean guys like Adam Schefter? The guy that directly sources information from agents said on his podcast that even though Mahomes is saying all the right things in public, he actually wants a new contract. Which makes sense. The QB market has been reset and he's likely got family members and an agent in his ear telling him he can get more with very little effort on his part. Before long I expect us to have to pay Josh Allen more too, especially if he brings home a Lombardi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcadia bob Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Update.... see previous post. DH asked for a 2 year and Bills agreed. He asked for certain things in the contract, and they got that worked out. The problem is DH thinks his value is OBJ contract or better.BB has made his best offer (or at least he says) and it's now up to DH. I asked about other teams offer said he said he has no idea. He doubts BB will move on his offer very much if at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 7 hours ago, beebe said: the stats i provided are schedule adjusted, meaning buffalo's performance against supposed inferior competition is factored in. in other words, allowing 30 pts and 400 yards vs the chiefs offense is not treated the same as if you allow 30 pts and 400 yards vs the zack wilson jets. one is clearly a far worse outing than the other when adjusted for opponent strength. To be clear my main point was that during the playoffs the Bills supposedly "better" defense played poorly in 6 of the 8 Allen era playoff games. IMO the defense led directly to BOTH KC losses in the playoffs preventing the Bills from reaching the SB both years and almost blew the Colts game in 2020. The only playoff game where the D played a pivotal, winning role was against Baltimore. The Chiefs D has not been as damaging to Mahomes playoff career as the Bills D has been to Allen's. Great playoff defense by the Bills likely would have meant TWO SB trips by the Bills in the last 3 seasons. 9 hours ago, HereComesTheReignAgain said: I'm pretty sure that's how it works with defenses. They perform better against the bad offenses than they do against the good ones. Why would this be a reason to discount the defensive stats? It isn't. It was an attempt to explain why the Bills D ranked so highly during the regular season and failed so often in the playoffs. My main point was to counter the idea that the Bills D gave Allen an advantage over Mahomes whose Chiefs had a weaker regular season D. The truth is that by any standard the Bills D has played very poorly in the playoffs likely taking 1 or 2 SB trips away from Allen & the Bills. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It manifestly failed most of the time in the playoffs, though he does know how to stop Lamar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is that by any standard the Bills D has played very poorly in the playoffs likely taking 1 or 2 SB trips away from Allen & the Bills. Fair enough, although the notion that KC's defense has been a playoff world beater seems rather misguided. The year KC won its first Super Bowl, the D gave up an instant 24 points to the Texans in the Divisional round and the Chiefs were in a 24-0 hole. The offense bailed them out in a major way. The next year, Tampa went wild on KC's defense in the Super Bowl and put the game out of reach early. KC's D didn't really slow Buffalo in the 42-36 Divisional game two years ago. They went punch-for-punch till the end and won the OT coin toss. The offense won the game (including the 13-seconds theatrics.) A week later, the AFC championship game loss to the Bengals, a major storyline was KC failing to sack Burrow a single time. Last year, the Eagles ran up and down the field (literally) for 400+ yards and 35 pts vs KC's defense. The offense bailed them out in a major way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Got the feeling Hopkins is using us as leverage against the Chiefs - the only team that makes the most sense for him and them. Show Buffalo all the love in public - what free agent does that with the team he eventually goes and signs with? Anyone? Make KC anxious about him coming here. Then sign with - the Giants or something. Edited May 31, 2023 by Big Blitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 6 hours ago, Augie said: We don’t have to sit in the whiners room with the folks who didn’t make it. That’s worth something. 😋 OH! AND…….if you are IN the playoffs, your chances of winning a SB go WAY up! I checked the math, and that is true. You need the stars to align, but with a few good bounces along the way we have a team that CAN win it all. I like being in the running most years over taking huge swings and missing. I liked getting Von last year, but the ball bounced the wrong way. It happens. I agree with this philosophy in the NFL over other sports because you have to at minimum beat three quality teams to win the Super Bowl and each game is a do or die. Even if you have a 65% chance of winning each game, the odds of that other 35% hitting one in three times is pretty high. That's assuming your season doesn't get derailed because of a rash of injuries or your starting quarterback suffering a freak injury. In a seven game series in other sports the better team usually prevails. Even when the Rams went "all in" it likely took a dropped 49ers interception (luck) for them to reach the Super Bowl and if they didn't win it they'd be a case study of why you don't mortgage the future for one season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
