I like Ryan too and what to take note of is how he prefaced talking heads who made there mind up on Allen and continue with the false narrative on his skills and inaccuracy. Nice to see Ryan say something positve after many weeks of him deriding Josh (or little confidence in him). Now let's see PPF do a 180 (or Mike Lombardi).....

Offense or Defense (though last year it seemed more O related), that still is a coaching issue.

This was a huge concern over & over again last year as many lamented the conservative nature of the coaching almost every third quarter last year. It was the continual "Play for a 17-13" win mentality that we questioned McD about. Hope this is a two game blip. But the Bills lose that game weekly....

I see Trubisky but no Dak.... So looks like other fan bases too may be upset.

Huh??? What do you think a curl pattern is? You curl and wait for the ball. It will never/seldom arrive in perfect time. Defender has the right to put his arm around & try and knock the ball away. He does not have the right to hit him before the ball arrives.

PI pretty clear cut imo. He ran through the receiver to get the ball.

Look you can go on and on. Very simply the Bills were a joke and their inability to throw for 300 was a national talking point brought up again & again in 2019 (& plenty of times in the first two weeks this year). The fact the Bills never once did it with McD as the coach was an issue and excuse me for being excited to see them doing it.

Haven't read this site too much. Plenty of people here love smashmouth football and have continually said that 300 yards wasn't needed and 17-13 games was what they are happy to see. Take a look at ant response to my comments about the Bills inability (until 2020) to put points on the board and inability to throw for 300 yards. Many on TBD will tell you that Josh throwing too much and 300 yard games are not necessarily a good thing.

Wrong, but keep dreaming about those good old days..... 😜 There will be a lot of games this year where the Offense will need 300+ yards to win. Lot's of points & TD passes through 2 weeks.

Yes more fun these last two weeks then the last 3 years.... But boy that defense is porous.....

Boy I already miss those 17-14 games.....😜 This is not real football.... 3 yards & a cloud of dust is what football is all about.....🤣

It was a 2-pt convert. You don't throw the ball away in those instances. Mahomes was looking and threw a terrible pass (Allen's though was admittedly worse).

And you wonder why the #'s in the US continue at the current levels? Really it's just a football game (that will be on TV), but people feel the need to travel & go to the Stadium.....

Again, yes arbitrary, but to have gone so long without one was just ridiculous. The fun will start when the schedule get's more difficult.

How so? As a receiver you are only as good as the # of times they throw to you & whether you catch or drop the ball. Are you saying, with proof that Watkins is running bad patterns, not getting open or dropping passes?

There was absolutely no reason to get rid of him in 2017...... He was under contract, had worked out with Tyrod in the off season, and was healthy. It was done out of spite for Whaley & the old regime. The Offense was the bottom of the league in 2017. Please don't rationalize it.

Again completely wrong. He was a rookie & put up good #'s year 1. Year 2 he played 13 games on a run heavy team & had over 1000 yards on only 7.36 targets/game. Year 3 was injuries. When you mention Kelce that's a non-starter. Kelce is a TE, he is not garnering the opposing teams pass defenders. Yes Hill commands the #1 defender, but Watkins too often is doubled or has a top defender on him (I seem to remember it was Sherman in the SB). Oh yea & yes they were banking EJ Manual being their qb of the future & they got him the receiver they needed. EJ was a bust, but that wasn't on Sammy. Oh & again the 2014-16 Bills were 24-24 vs. the juggernaut that has gone 25-23 2017-2019......

Actually averaged 820/season as a Bill with 982 in his Rookie season, 1047 in 13 games in year 2 & yes only 430 in 8 games (injured) in year 3. Add to that a low # of targets for a #1 he did damn well in Buffalo. In KC I don't expect huge #'s, because they will throw primarily to Hill & Kelce (as an outlet), but he will contribute.

Maybe not directed at you, but at lot here who seemed to be upset the Bills traded up to draft Watkins & seem to blame the injuries he had on him. He was productive as a Bill (including a 1000 yard season) with minimal targets. As a Chief again he is the third option, however draws difficult assignments. For some reason the Chiefs want him back & they are the favorite in the NFL because of their offense & players like Watkins.

Which is typical of Bills fans here about every high drafty pick. They all are over paid & the Bills did the right thing dumping them. Funny how Sammy has teams happy to have him & pay him...... Please remind me again that killer 2017 receiving corp the Bills had????

Haters continue to hate...... Boy it would have sucked to have Watkins in 2017 on...... For a decoy and maligned receiver (only in Buffalo), he's amassed a pretty penny..... Oh yea & produced when it counted for KC...... Boy that 2017 Bills receiving corp was something special, wasn't it???? The good news is Bills fans won't debate signing him as a decoy if he had been waived.......??

Favorite regular game ever......

Yes I was more laughing at all the "big" names the Bills were going to sign with $90,000,000. By my count it is 0. They made a big trade & are gambling (and I like it) on one big name Josh Norman on a one year contract.

I admit I am only really focused on the skill positions. Norman is a flier & probably a good one. Diggs cost the Bills a lot, but happy we finally have a replacement for Watkins?? three years later..... But came at a steep price. Everyone talked incessantly at all the cap space & seems by the #'s all the FA's are just shuffling players & no big names or $'s. Trust me I'm thrilled about the 2020 year (if & when it is), but just wondering about all these players.
