I'm not a huge fan of McD but it's hard not to rally behind him at this point. I still have my doubts he can lead the team to a Lombardi. That's just me though. A loss on Sunday certainly wouldn't give me any reinforcement that McD is the guy I think what's slightly being lost here is why was the team 6-6 and in that position? Should they ever have been in that position? Blame has to be placed on the head coach. Bottom line is McD dug himself out of the hole he dug. It's certainly a gave and take he. This team has been in this very position for years now. It's not to minimize the accomplishments. Accolades are in order. However, this team led by Allen has to progress further. No excuses no satisfaction, no no no. A loss on Sunday changes a lot. Questions about McD will and should be asked and addressed. Think Tomlin or McCarthy. The team was 6-6 due to a pathetic offensive coordinator and significant defensive injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennstate10 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Some dude got film of KC practice and posted it to Tik Tok. I’m sure Bills defensive staff has seen this. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it bummed me out, because that game is an incredible classic, and features my favorite QB playing probably his best game. But like you said - I can't watch a second. If they start showing even a small highlight, I change the channel as quickly as possible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost games they should have never lost. It was also head coaching and defense as well. We all watched the games. McD's D was unable to stop offenses when it counted. No need to call out the games. An off sides call gifted the Broncos a win. To alleviate McD of blame is preposterous. To boot, he gave his blessings to Dorsey. He handed him the keys. To his credit, the team went on a big winning streak when it counted. The McD D has been able to close out games. He did change OCs. In summary, this season is mixed bag of very good and very bad with McD. However, it's very hard to complain about an 11-6 record and a 2 seed with an AFC East title. Thus far, McD has a nice playoff win under his belt. It's not uncommon for his team led by Allen to win. That's a lot better than Tomlin or McCarthy at this point. McD has been able to win in these exact scenarios. The real nemesis is the next round. Often, his team gets out coached and out planned by the opposition. Bengals and KC are stand outs here. Fast forward to Sunday. The Bills play who? KC the defending champs with the best QB in the NFL and a hall of fame coach. It's hard to not to get 13 second flashbacks. If there's ever a time for the Bills to succeed and get the monkey off it's back it's Sunday at Highmark Stadium. A loss would be very painful and somewhat demoralizing. A win would be euphoric and feel like maybe this is the year. I'm very nervous yet excited about the game. LFG Bills!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Chiefs will able able to run and control the middle of the field at will. Happy to be wrong, but that's a lot of injuries to key areas. Also, with the way Rice is paying and Douglas on Kelce, I worry about our ability to cover receivers. I don't like the idea of us having to win a shootout. I really hope our line can cause enough pressure to disrupt the passing game, but we all know Mahomes is capable of great plays on the run. I really don't want to be 0-3 against this team in the playoffs Terrified? No. But that certainly is my biggest concern. We cannot let Kelce go off, and being weak and slow in the middle is not a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaulGoodman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In case it weren't obvious, I'm a KC fan. I'm not here to troll anybody though. I honestly feel a little badly about the way some Bills fans have been treated at Chiefs Planet. But at the same time, it's just internet banter. Can't take it too seriously. Most of these people are guys you'd probably have fun drinking a beer with if everybody set their silly sports differences aside. One thing you have to understand about the KC fanbase is that half of it doesn't even like the other half. Those on the KS side of the border tend to be more refined, classier and easier to get along with. Some on the Missouri side can be abrasive and crude. The KU and Mizzou fanbases despise each other as much as any rivals from any sport, which makes it interesting when they come together at Chiefs games. But it's a rivalry that goes beyond sports. Kansans and Missourians have hated each other since William Quantrill's guerrillas burned down Lawrence (where I live) during the Civil War. I have no predictions for this game. I think both teams are too unpredictable to know how this will play out. I do think that both QBs will likely play well though. Allen's usually at his best against the Chiefs, and Mahomes has a different level of focus in the playoffs. 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRiderBills Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 11 hours ago, Starr Almighty said: Let me try to explain this to you since you can't do simple math. The Bills rushed for 2212 yards. James Cook had 1122 that is just a little bit over half since you are poor in math Josh had 524 The rest of the team had 566 combined. Maybe you are the one that doesn't know football and aren't watching the games. The Bills do not in anyway call for QB runs the way they used to in the past. When there's nothing there Josh takes off like he did vs the Steelers for 52 yards. He obviously had to do the QB sneaks because he's the QB So basically 75-80% of the rushing yards did not come from Josh Allen. This still doesn't change the fact you said a running QB never won the Superbowl and were WRONG because Steve Young, Elway did run. That being said I think we will uncork some in this game.

I really don't want to be 0-3 against this team in the playoffs I wasn't until the last injury report. Hearing the rumors from HappyDays is seemed like Dodson and Spector should be good to go, with Spector likely with a pain management issue. But Dodson is limited and Spector still hasn't practiced. TJ should come back. He didn't seem that broken up in game, and he almost immediately was available for practice and in team drills. But you never know until the final call comes. It is (in theory) in the hands of independent neurologists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
