Anyone else still watching this dolphin beat down and enjoying it?

I sure hope you're right, but I think This is not going to age well come late January sir haha

What a game by Herbert. Out dueled Mahomes

Let's gooo!!!

Why does a 28-27 final for the chiefs seem like it's almost guaranteed..

I'm not a huge Herbert fan. But let's call a spade a spade here. He has been great tonight. Over 300 yards and 3 TDS

Anyone else still think the chiefs win this game in the most ridiculous way possible?

Couple drinks tonight?

I love Rich, but he's a horrible play by play guy lol

Man I hate the chiefs lol

I understand. And those are fair points. Let's see if we least agree on this before I move on as I don't want to bombard the thread. 1. Spags has had massive defensive games in the playoffs, including some of the best ever which led to Super Bowl wins 2. McDermotts defences typically do great in the regular season but struggles a lot in the playoffs 3. Yes Spags has had bad games in the playoffs , like any defensive coordinator. (Including McDermott To say the least) 4. Yes bills have had more injuries in the playoffs than the chiefs on defence. Anything you disagree with there?

Ok. So are you actually saying McDermotts defence is NOT the reason why the bills haven't won a championship? Josh Allen's last 4 playoff exits. 29 TDs and 1 INT. Do I need to say more?

Huh? Spags coached a UNIT three separate times to a championship. Not a player. A UNIT. Go to any championship his team has won, and you'll see an epic defensive performance or two along the way. That was a horrible analogy buddy, so I hope you're done after that

The conversation is Spags vs Mcdermott sir. Until McDermott can win a Super Bowl backed by his defence actually showing up, I can't even put him in the same conversation as Spags. All good though , we can agree to disagree buddy

Him not getting a head coaching job has nothing to do with his defence. A lot more traits to be a head coach rather than just coaching a good unit. (Age, leadership etc- the list goes on) He has coached his defence to 3 Super Bowl wins, and maybe had the greatest display ever against the 2007 pats. And you're focusing on a few bad playoff games? Should we go over McDermott's bad playoff games? I don't think we can over the good ones, because they there aren't many

I would take Spags 10/10 times over McDermott. Are you forgetting his 2007 year with the giants where he held the greatest offence of all time to 14 points in the Super Bowl? I don't care about regular season stats where McDermott dominates rookie and mediocre QBs- To keep it simple: McDermotts defence crumbles in the playoffs, Spags defences rises to the top. Its really hard to hard argue that ^

Herbert had 2 open guys on that play

Ya that is straight up just a horrible list lol. Doesn't even have Mahomes Or Lamar in his top 4..

Ya Bills and Chiefs rosters are very similar IMO- 3 things give the Chiefs the slight edge, and only one of them is a player: -Chris Jones -Andy Reid -Spags

I'm a diehard bills fan, but trying to down play Lamar just doesn't make sense to me. He has been to a championship game before in 2023. Hes a 2x MVP and inarguably a top 4 QB in the game. Would I take Josh over him ? Yes, cause he has been more clutch in the playoffs. But Lamar is an amazing QB who will probably be a hall of famer one day

Ahh gotcha, my bad

Depends if you count Hoecht and Ogunjobi or not

Knox was picked in the early 3rd, and was given a 2nd big contract. That's a lot invested in him. It's not like he's a UDFA on the vet minimum. In January playoff games, Sean McDermott and Joe Brady are trying to win football games. They aren't trying to "justify" Brandon Beanes draft picks

I just gave you an example where Elam was a 1st round pick and benford was a 6th round pick in the same draft class. Yet, Benford started week 1 over him in 2022 as Elam couldn't beat him out. If what you're saying is true about draft position and return on investment, then Elam would have been the starter over Benford and Dane Jackson . But it wasn't the case.

I don't think his draft position has anything to do with feeding him 3x more targets than Knox every year. Knox if anything is making a lot of money, so you would think they would want to get more value out of that contract. Elam was drafted in the 1st round, but he could never beat out the 6th round rookie in Benford or even Dane Jackson. Point being: The Bills are trying to win a Super Bowl and they are going to play the best players regardless of draft position, contracts etc.
