There will be trade options for them in a few weeks, I'm sure. The Raiders might be willing to part with Davante Adams if the price is right. Same thing with Hopkins in Tennessee.
KC is at the point where I don't even know how they even get up for regular season games anymore. They probably just plan to do just enough to win the division and then get serious in the playoffs.
They could easily be 3-0, they're at home, and this game is much more important to them than it is to us, in regards to divison and conference standings. All of that has to be factored in, I think.
As long as thry don't hit that weird November swoon where they blow a bunch of winnable games and seem to suffer an existential crisis at the same time, everything should be gravy.
We've already allocated a ton of resources to the d-line, and it hasn't made a difference in the playoffs against KC. It didnt make a difference against Brady either when we tried that same strategy. Just try to outscore them.
His ability to consistently make spare parts work well on defense is evidence that the majority of resources in regards to free agency and high draft picks need to go to offense for the remainder of Allen's career.
He's the best player in football, and the insistence of the media and other NFL players that clearly lesser OBs like Burrow or Jackson are better is comical at this point.
I remember there used to be a point in my Bills fandom where I was excited that Kelly Holcomb was getting an opportunity to start; now I get to watch the most physically gifted QB in NFL history. Pretty wild.
In all the years I've watched football, you start to notice a pattern with good teams who have poor special teams play - it ALWAYS bites them in the backside at the worst possible moment (i.e. playoffs).
The era where a new coach got three years to implement his system is over, especially on teams with volatile owners. Lots of HCs were one-and-done after particularly bad years. Guy is trying to keep his job, and I don't blame him.
