Uh, in the off-season.

Not saying Dallas would be interested but they sure as heck need draft capital. What would you be willing to give up for a kicker who makes 60 yard field goals like extra points? I’d give up a fourth in a heartbeat. If we had a third, I’d give up a third. What say you?

The Worthy pick wasn’t stupid. The Spiller pick was monumentally stupid. Lynch and Freddie Jackson were on the roster and you still take a RB in the top 10. Just stupid.

Oliver was very noticeable today. Great to see.

You know, #1 seed, isn’t crazy. Chiefs have some tough games left - Broncos, Chargers, Texans, Steelers. I’m guessing 14 - 3 gives us #1 seed. Like in the Godfather Part II, when Michael was discussing assassinating Hyman Roth. “Difficult, not impossible.”

Man, when Herbert is on, he looks fantastic.

Loved: DL finally putting constant pressure on Mahones; making Kelce a non-factor. Hated: the first down runs that went nowhere. Brady refused to mix it up. One time in second half he did, Morris was as wide open for a big gain.

Wasn’t Bill Belicheck’s philosophy to take out opposing offense’s primary threat (Marshall Faulk in Super Bowl for example)? Just once I would like the Bills to take Kelce out of the game. In basketball, there’s the box and one. When you’re playing a superstar, one player is dedicated to covering the star and the remaining four play zone. Is there an equivalent to that in football? Maybe you save it for the playoffs but I’ll go nuts if Kelce is running free in the secondary on Sunday without a Bill within 10 yards of him.

The three DT’s picked after Oliver: Wilkins, Lawrence and Simmons. If we had picked any one of them, we are probably holding at least one Lombardi Trophy. Add in picking Ford and passing on Metcalf and A.J. Brown and in retrospect, that draft was a colossal failure. Not a knock against Beane. No GM hits all the time. Just saying with 20/20 hindsight, it’s painful to look back on that draft and what could have been.

Bills play the Chiefs very tough but if we’re depending on turnovers to win on Sunday, I don’t like our chances.

If we do that, is it possible to play Taron at FS and Rapp at SS? I would guess that would give us an interesting look.

It’s interesting that the Bills have generally been a very slow starter this year, playing much better in the second half. In both KC games last year, Bills outplayed KC in first half but were badly outplayed in the second half. Don’t know what it means but pretty sure that they can’t get away with a slow start on Sunday.

The Sabres say “hold my beer”.

About to say same thing. Is this the end for Daboll?

One of the other panelists (Ryan Clark?) said that refs were right to not call the face mask because “it didn’t impact the throw”. JFC! It that the new rule for calling a penalty? In a sense, he’s on to something. If a penalty doesn’t impact a play, maybe it shouldn’t be called. Maybe that helps end the flag fests we see week in and week out that are ruining the game.

Ending of Bengals - Ravens changed my mind about going for 2 at end of game. The week before I was all over the Bucs for not going for 2 against the Chiefs. But as Burrow said in the press conference, refs aren’t going to call anything at that point. If that’s the case, it really reduces chances of a successful conversion.

Glad Bengals lost. DO NOT want them in the playoffs as potential opponent. They have our number. I’d much rather take on the Ravens in a rematch.

Does 9 - 8 get you in?

If Cooper and Coleman are out on Sunday, it’s going to be tough sledding.

Is this accurate? What source? So you’re saying they called holding on Torrance on consecutive plays?

TB not going for two. You knew they were toast as soon as they kicked the extra point. After Davis scored with 13 seconds left, I really wanted the Bills to go for two. Chiefs were reeling. Put a dagger in them. If successful, even McDermott and Frazier aren’t going to give up a TD in 13 seconds. If unsuccessful, maybe the mind is focused and Bass doesn’t kick it into the end zone, maybe the safeties aren’t playing 30 yards deep, maybe Hill doesn’t run for 20 yards before encountering a Bills defender. Sorry, but if you have a chance to beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead by going for two at the end of the game, do it!!

And Brady and Belichek are the reason for that!

Didn’t these refs go to ref school? When you make a bogus, phantom call against one team, you immediately make a bogus, phantom call against the OTHER team (technically a “make up call”). You don’t double down with a second bogus, phantom call on the same team.

I always caution folks to look at the Sabres before saying stuff like this. Pegula got lucky with McDermott/Beane. I don’t want Rex Ryan redux.

Supposedly he was hurt in JAX game (yeah, he was horrible in that game). Otherwise, when he plays, he makes plays and looked ok today. Granted, Benford and Douglas are better but it wouldn’t shock me if they let Douglas walk and give Elam first crack at starting CB.
