Geez, leading Bills receiver Tyrell Shavers 4 receptions for 90 yards, 1 TD.  Cook was second with 3 for 66 yards.

Beat Houston and we are looking good.

To watch our defense give up fifty in a 50-47 playoff loss. Awesome.

Lamar is insanely good lol. You don't get two MVPs by not being a top end QB.

Is he as good as Josh? In my opinion no.

But inarguably he is a top 5 QB and most likely top 3

He just doesn’t come in clutch during the high pressure situations. To me that’s the main difference.

He has all the tools and is a great QB, he shows it while they’re blowing the pants off of bad teams.

[JustHewIt]

Can we talk about Cole Bishop? Another massive, game changing play. Credit to the staff for sticking with him, fun to watch 

[4th&long]

Does anybody know what the ***** McD Defensive philosophy is? What the hell is he trying to do? That defense is total trash. We might have 2 good players with a few rookies we can hope devlop.

Sounds dumb but the Bills are way better with Gabe than Keon. Gabe is slow and plodding at this point. He’s in the right spot and always makes himself available when the play breaks down. Josh trusts him. Trust is so important.

He looks a lot more confident when Rapp isn’t playing opposite him.

 

I don’t think that’s a coincidence 

[Maine-iac]

As much as people rant about WR's the thing missing from our game (that was there last year) was hitting RB's for big passes.  If anything came back and made a big difference it was getting the RB's involved in the passing game.  Not only is it a great mismatch for us but should also help the other pass catchers see more single coverage or soft zones.

Lamar has some of the best talent in the league around him. A system designed to let him succeed. A mindset to pad his stats and me first. 

[Process]

Wish we didn't have the Texans next so we could keep the momentum in the passing game going. That defense could give us fits. 

 

But Pit and Cin afterwards is nice. 

[Matt_In_NH]

The Chiefs need this game more than the Bills needed theirs today.

It’s all about not surrendering long pass plays, at all costs.  That’s about it.

Just look how bad the ravens were when he was out.
 

I will never understand the "system " argument after seeing that dumpster fire of an offence they had when he missed time

These are probably the same people who B word about Allen every game tbh

 

 

[4th&long]

What's the difference between giving up a big pass play and watching running backs take it to the house all the time? Nothing. They give up long td runs every week. 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

The “throw it to the running back” crowd is saying “told ya so”

Stop the run with a light box and high safeties. Pressure the QB with a four man rush. Give up no big plays.

 

problem is, you need at least 2 app pro DL to make that work and they don’t have them. Not even close.

The only real argument against Lamar is playoff/big game failures.  Otherwise people are just finding reasons to hate.  He is a unicorn, Josh is a unicorn.  They both do things differently than any player has before so people try to find reasons to knock them down.

His slow release from press coverage last week cost Allen an INT in Miami, but the kid has been on the team for a while and they have to be seeing something from him.

Showed it today.
