That’s more pressure than I expected out of the gate… and I expected some pressure

I don’t know what’s going on with Christian Bedford. It’s like a complete media blackout. Nobody knows what’s going on hundreds of thousands of Bill fans are waiting to hear if he’s gonna play and yet we get nothing from the bills repeat reporters I don’t get it and don’t understand it. The bottom line is we need the information so let’s get on the ball people.
how will you game plan without this detailoh wait, that’s a problem for the chiefs, not bills fans

Do you believe the winner of the AFC Championship will also win the Super Bowl?
If its the Bills that win, I can't see them losing to the Eagles or Commanders, and honestly I feel the same way about KC, though less so.
Could we be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow??
Go Bills!!!!!
can’t is a strong word but honestly last week I felt the winner would be the best team the rest of the way. Not by huge margins but enough to be excited28 minutes ago, BRH said:
This.
I remember Bruce saying after the AFCCG how “sick” he was that the 49ers didn’t win because he wanted to prove themselves against the best.
Hopefully there’s none of that bad mojo this time around. The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are just in the ***** way.
yup - weird routines against a very good team. Even if you are a great roster you aren’t expecting better than maybe 60-40 odds -

I appreciate your giddy optimism, but it’s not happening. By you thinking he will means you’re either blinded by this optimism or you just didn’t pay attention when he signed. It’s not a wasted spot, he’s doing the exact thing he was brought in for
he could do it as an assistant coach then.Im not arguing whether or not he should play, im simply saying if he’s on the practice squad he should be fully on the depth chart. If he’s not in line to be available ever, put someone there that could contribute this year or next
if you are getting a jersey then you need to be able to lace up cleats on Sunday- otherwise give him a polo and let him start his coaching career

I hate to say I told you so.
Has to hold out for a team with a REAL Quarterback. Patience my man
or a path forward somehowthe saints have an absentee owner, a GM with no vision that is his own boss, a massive cap problem, no qb and weak draft capital m
the next guy in either gets a huge 5-6 year commitment or is ok with being the sacrificial lamb in 24 months for a decent pay day and handing the keys over to a guy like Brady then,

well, that would truly be the “time to break the proverbial glass” scenario, wouldn’t it?
we will see. A few here acting like he point blank won’t play.
all I’ve said is that if true it’s a wasteful arrangement

So, what's the difference? Having him on the practice squad or as an assistant coach both means he isn't an active roster player.
some other guy could be running drills and learning the scheme, just in case. If he’s a coach and not a player just make him a coach and let someone else get prepped as an in case of emergency or for future developmentI get it, the last bench spot on the practice squad isn’t likely to matter but I think it’s silly to play play this game unless he’s genuinely on the depth chart

This has been said since literally the first day he came back, why are people still surprised about this?
because it doesn’t make the team better to handle it this way and we are on the cusp of our biggest games ever.
if Hyde will not be an option, and let’s say we win but a couple safeties go down… will you love him being on the squad instead of being hired as an asst coach?

thats why Brady would be nuts not to take the Saints HC job if its offered . nothing is certain. Hope he doesnt, but he nuts if he doesn't . Slowik is the perfect example of what can happen
it’s a fast track to being fired…3 hours ago, Utah John said:This is correct, and it's why Brady, if he gets a HC offer, will take it. Sell your stock when it's high. Not many OCs have it work out so well as Ben Johnson who had Detroit's offense humming for two years in a row.
basically any either a great qb are consistent.
stroud’s outcomes outpaced his actual performance his rookie year. Year two he was consistent with the volume of off target throws or passes that defenders could pick…. But the actually got the picks. It wasn’t so much that his play regressed but that his luck normalized.
josh Allen’s OC will always have options to move up as long as they don’t personally mess it up.

Shakir is really good. He has an elite wiggle imo when it comes to getting some extra yards or slipping past the first defender.
I don’t think of him as an elite YAC guy still. Elite YAC guys to me are the guys with the threat to take a crosser or quick slant for an extra 10 or 20 or 30 yards. 1 play TD threats with the ball in their hands. Chase, Lamb, even Deebo before he fell apart would qualify as elite YAC imo.
It’s kind of a philosophical discussion imo. Is the big play YAC better than the death by a thousand cuts YAC? I think there’s a decent argument either way. I would lean big play but if you wanna say Shakir is one of the best in the NFL when it comes to turning a 2 yard pass into a 8-12 yard play, I wouldn’t disagree.
oh, totally. It’s the explosive running back vs the guy that gets 4 yards every touch no matter what.
I think shakir does a great job squeezing yards darn near every catch. Feels like even when he goes down for the catch he rolls for 2 yards consistently.
but you can’t watch ceedee lamb highlights and think that we have the same guy, even if isolated to with the ball in his hands.
Thats not an insult to KS, but just an unreasonable standard to judge him by-

I watch a lot of reaction videos of opposing teams fans watching Bills game highlights. One reason is to see how people react to Shakir’s highlights. Everyone is on his jock- his wtf moments are top tier. Not many WRs are doing what he’s doing “after the catch”.
yes the offense helps him- our blocking is insane- but he routinely bounces off would be tacklers. Combined with his juke set up- he’s a terror. Disagree- fine by me
In your opinion it stretched it. If I said 96% would you agree? Meh- nitpicking comment imo.
debating if he’s top 20% of starting WRs just doesn’t have the same elite ring as top .00001% of guys that catch passes across the various football leagues (flag or tackle) -

I mean- I can have my opinion- you can disagree with it.
He had more rac yards than everyone in the league except for Chase- he was that guy this year. that’s not made up. That would put him right around top 1% would it not? He’s special with the ball in his hands. I would regard him as an elite rac playmaker. Feel free to disagree
on another level than 99% really stretched it though.
I guess if chalking all 6 WRs for 32 teams and only weighing that single stat he is 2 of 200 literally… but I think you’d be hard pressed to generally sell anyone on the idea that given the top 32 WRs they’d pick him as top 5 with the ball in their hands.
he’s pretty darn good with it but also in a very friendly scheme with a qb giving him great touches and as mentioned has solid blocking out there.

I think Pete is a terrible hire. Not because he can't coach, he likely ends up in the HoF.... but asking a 73 year old to come and completely turn around the culture in a building is asking a LOT
yea, you can outsource a lot to coordinators etc… but at some point he’s still going to have the be the dude to be 100% sharp after months of grinding in late December when you have 3 games in 11 days because of Xmasat some point it’s just got to catch up
and he will be 74 week 2 of the season to boot…
he could be a total anomaly - they exist but at some point you have to think he will just be tired in a different way than Mcvay would be…

Preaching to the choir my man. I had him as a 2nd rd pick- I wanted him over Cook. He’s on a different level than 99% of the WRs after the catch imo.
I mean, he’s not chase, ceedee, JJ, nabers, ARSB, puka, etc… then you run into guys like deebo as a rare specimen in space. even mcconkey had more broken tackles. You’d clearly put the ball in aj browns hands first given the option.
in yards after contact - Nico was great last year with a ton of broken tackles l, though down this. Rashee rice was excellent last year
Not even mentioning tyreek here with not being sure what he is today.
i think shakir is very talented but “on a different level than 99%” probably over states it a good bit. He’s a solid blue collar guy that does a lot well, doesn’t make many mistakes and has a good attitude. We don’t have to put him in the top 1% of WRs on anything. It’s unfair to him.

amazingly, though he had 97 catches in the regular season!! And in a so-called down year.
some perspective - that’s like 5.5 catches per game.
If reliably healthy it’s not particularly huge accumulation for a WR1.
I’d bet there’s like 20 guys that were the number 1 target for their team that didn’t miss multiple games and he’d be about middle of the pack at best in that

Shakir is a fine receiver. Call him what you want…but he’s good.
it’s like when Stevie was wr1he’s productive but not keeping coordinators up at night.
ultimately everybody eats is nice enough but if everybody included a few guys that are better than we currently have then our margin for error would be much larger. I don’t think any of us would be mad if Brian Thomas was at the dinner table.

I’m just saying- if worthy has even the perception of helping the chiefs win…
it might be the end of this era of the bills.
if we win it’ll be monumental though

Loins will be fine.
Losing a HC blows up the entire organization (a fact lost on most on this board, regrettably).
Losing an OC is usually losing one guy.
they will lose many position coaches and perhaps the whole system depending on who follows himmaybe some talent evaluators too

So is Mike McCarthy how do you feel about him? McCarthy even won his against Tomlin and more recently than him.
Can I add Doug Pederson to the list as well?
I promise this thread is in jest but aims to point out the double standard that exists here between the opinion of McD and the other HCs.
I think @GunnerBill and I have been in alignment on this for a few years now. The margin is so razor thin and only one team gets to win. @FireChans and I discussed the narratives that are created from playoff losses that may or may not be fair (mostly not fair). It is a single elimination tournament featuring the best teams and the best qbs. Just this playoff alone McD has gone against and beat 2 super bowl winning HCs. The 2 teams had 5 and 6 All Pros on their teams. The Chiefs have a multiple time SB HC winner and 4 more All Pros.
At some point you just have to get it done though. And particularly you can’t be the reason the team didn’t get there by blowing a big moment
So far so good this year.

If you want McD gone you have to think that Harbaugh needs to go too right?
After all no hc qb combo has won a sb after 5 years together.
After all he is 1-2 as the 1 seed since 2019.
After all he is 2-4 in the postseason since 2018.
After all he has only made it to 1 afc championship with one of the most electric qbs in the game.
After all he has a 2 time mvp qb and has only won 1 division title in the last 4 years.
After all he has lost to a washed up philip rivers and ryan tannehil in the playoffs!
After all he has a 1-3 playoff record at home since 2018.
So if you wamt McD gone for underperforming and losing to the chiefs 3 of 4 years certainly you think Harbaugh is trash and needs to go to right?
The Bills and McD have outperformed them over the last 6 years and the Ravens have the benefit of the mvp and 3 first team all pros this year vs the Bills single 2nd team all pro yet still lost to the same team at home as the Bills did.
Or does a super bowl 11 years ago followed by a single afc title game appearance this year carry that much water?
Recent history and performance clearly favors McD so I am very interested to hear opinions of Harbaugh and whether he should keep his job or be fired.
I bet there are rumblings just as there were with Sean Payton towards the end of his tenure.
a ring gives you a ton of credibility but not forever.

I don't think anybody is going to be able to prove anything either way.
If his record with one official was 50-0, and 10-40 with another, that would be an indicator that something's fishy. But 4-0? For all we know that's 4 games vs bad teams.
yea, I think you have to see a big outlier and then actually look at the games included.
10-0 in major games and consistent calls going their way vs 10-0 because he got 8 softball games that were generally called tight.
it’s a flag for investigating further but not definitive yet as it’s a small sample and assignments may not be totally random

If I had to guess, he is just not the first option most of the time. Sort of getting the scraps in this “everybody eats” offense.
I do think he has the potential to have a Kelce-like impact if he were the main target out there.
im sorry but if he has kelce like potential he should be eating more
