Honestly after the Rams game and coming into this week missing 3/4's of our starting Secondary, I was worried. This was one of the Bills more impressive wins I can remember. Great job to go out there and set the tone and keep pace. That being said...this was the 2nd week in a row where a "tush push" decision was made very poorly. Last week, we never should have called that and thrown 3 straight times to not have to burn a TO so we were not forced to onside, or if we did onside, could still get a stop to get the ball back. This week, we so very obviously should call the tush push and we don't and end up costing us the TD by getting backed up by penalties.

Literally said none of this...but ok. Guess KC and Pats never won on both sides of the ball right...lmao. Good luck in your quest to become the Dolphins.

Once again...no one...literally no one...said win with defense. We have Josh Allen, we will always be an offensive powerhouse while he is healthy and here. I quite literally stated you don't have to be great on D, but you better be able to get stops to close out games. Many times Allen has left the filed with a lead late, even with 13 seconds left, and we still lose the game. But in typical fashion, you know what was said but you are trying to twist into something else to try and get over on someone. It gets old dude

This

Wait...you are telling me you don't understand the difference between "win with defense" and "win with both sides of the ball"? 😂 You sure you want to put that on the internet? lol

Who said "win with defense"? Literally no one has ever said that once But you don't IGNORE defense or dismantle it because you put all your resources in the offense. Unless you want to be like the Saints with Brees who struggled to consistently make the playoffs, the Bengals this year, the Dolphins, etc. We don't have to be the 85 Bears, but you better be able to get a stop. How many times has Allen left the field late with a lead to see the defense give up the game? Meanwhile our "savior" Cooper had 0 catches again today. We have the highest scoring offense in the NFL over the past 5 seasons now, over taking KC. Literally the most points in the league...yet people still complaining its not enough, we need to go offensively heavy again this offseason for the 4th season in a row while our defense is the biggest threat to sabotaging the best season of Allens career (and probable MVP season)

You contradict yourself all the time...you also try and play both sides a lot too when trying to avoid being wrong. But it is wild you are trying to replicate the Bengals and Dolphins, two teams with losing records because they invested everything into their offense and it cost them their defenses. Meanwhile, dynasties like the Pats and Cheifs won on both sides of the ball, and more importantly, in the trenches. And ironic when the Pats had that big bad all time great offense was when they lost super bowls too. But keep whining about needing score more points when we just put up over 90 in back to back weeks and still went 1-1.

Its wild how you contradict yourself and don't even realize it. You complain about those wanting to address the defense this offseason and then yet complain when we go 1-1 after scoring over 40 both weeks. And this notion "Its all Josh Allen" is such a misstatement around here. Guys made some incredible catches and plays today, it wasn't just Josh. And anytime Josh puts up gaudy stats (whcih he always will) anyone can say "Its all Josh Allen"...but he is doing this because he has guys in front of him making plays and keeping him protected, guys making plays and adjusting when Allen improvises, making incredible catches and catch and run plays like Shakir, etc. Yet people still say...Its all Allen. That is such a discredit to the OL, Shakir, Cook, Coleman, Kincaid, even Knox today.

At no point was McD ever conservative...thats just talk of people who ignore facts and make assumptions because he was a defensive HC. He is, and always has been, one of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL during the Josh Allen era. Now his in game decisions at end game moments - well thats fair game to question at times.

I read on here we don't need defense this offseason and should go heavy offense for the 4th season in a row though...so how could our defense be an issue?

You’re living in the past…offense has had all the most premium investments the past 3 seasons.

Even you know the defense is the weakest part of this team right now. Lets now try and act like we have some gaping holes on offense or anything close to the same issues we have on defense heading into next year...because we don't. Ask the Bengals what its like to be all offense and no defense when they are sitting home watching the postseason despite what should be an MVP leading season by Burrow right now.

Prisoner of the moment is focusing on the DL being "elite" against a team with a mediocre offense and sub par OL. DL was embarrassed against the Ravens and Rams, teams who can throw and run the ball with QB's who can get the ball out quickly. So I would say you are being prisoner to an isolated past moment and ignoring the real issues that are going to be problematic when we face premium opposition in the post season.

How many non-Bills Pats games did you watch from start to finish? Because you are grossly underselling the talent of those Pats players. All of those guys would be amongst to ever play for the Bills had they been Bills. No one, literally no one, on our DL is even close to their level of play and consistency. Von Miller pre-Buffalo was...but not the Von Miller whose been a Bill.

Its not though...our defense is also amongst the best every year, and even statistically better than the Chiefs in most categories. But Chris Jones ends games...did it several times in both their super bowl playoff runs the past 2 seasons.

Ive been saying it for the past 2 years...the difference between the Chiefs and Bills is Chris Jones.

Yes, Tom Brady was absolutely correct commentating during the game that there is no option but to throw 3 times there, all to the endzone. Burning a timeout resigns you to a 3% chance onside kick attempt. I get the thought process of your best play, and there is no higher conversion play in our playbook than an Allen sneak to get the 1 yard. But, as high of a conversion it is, the times you don't get it and have to burn a timeout completely change the complexity of the game and take all other options off the table. Even if you don't think the Bills can stop them from getting a first down, you could always STILL kick the onside and try and get it, but if you fail, still have your 3 timouts to try and get the ball back. Burning a timeout makes the onside attempt the deciding factor in the game with no recourse.

I don't know what was more impressive...the TD run or the one he caught at the goal line that was a very difficult catch. As I said in the game day thread...believe it or not, there are still certain posters here who hope we don't sign him to a second contract.

There are people on here who hate Mack Hollins.

I repeat…there are people here who don’t want to sign Shakir to a second contract. 🤦‍♂️

There are people on this board who do NOT want to resign Shakir. Can you believe that?

And an unproven coach at that...its unbelievable really

How sad is Poyer right now that he has to suffer through Miamis rest of the season while Hyde gets a final run at a ring...

I would take McD over quite a few SB winning coaches TBH. Just some quick ones that come to mind: Ditka, Pederson, Switzer, Seifert, Gruden, McCarthy, Dungy, Kubiak, Billick McD is a better coach and leader than all of them IMHO.

My mind changed in the Houston game where I for the first time wanted him fired after that last drive. However, my mind changed back when I watched the film and realized it was Allens fault, not McD's and McD was even visibly pissed at the choices Allen made on that drive. Twice before I felt he was the COY and got robbed. If the vote was today, I would say he should be the COY without a doubt even though he probably still won't win it. But he IMHO has the best case for it in the NFL if the vote was today. None of this matters though...we need to see what this team does in the postseason.
