Agreed. Need that playmaking, gamechanging, plan around him kind of guy.
What gives me hope is Beane keeps drafting DEs high & went after the likes of JJ Watt.
How is it that KC mainly using Ward and after losing Mathieu to concussion can basically cancel out Diggs & Knox, but our defense regularly left Hill & Kelce run free?
I hear you, but it’s not like KC’s defense played way better than ours.
Thirteen seconds is handled differently or the coin lands on the other side and we’re talking about how our D did just enough to keep us in the game.
I will say for the investments made, our defensive line should be generating more sacks. I was going to say pressure, but you can pressure Mahomes for 8-9 seconds and he will still make a play at the end. Need sacks.
Not just playoffs. Add a quarter. It’s been a stupid set up all along to give so much importance to a coin flip. And not just because Allen didn’t touch the ball in OT tonight.
It’s crazy the AFC has Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, & Herbert, plus strictly talent-wise Watson, not to mention possibly adding Wilson and/or Rodgers if they end up on the move.
I was thinking… why rush anyone?
Give him all the time in the world and just don’t give up 40-45 yards.
Almost as heinous is not having someone bumping Hill & Kelce and/or one of them doubled.
1) Why not squib it?
2) Why not drop 11 defenders back w/ :13 left?
3) How can Hill & Kelce be so free off the line at the end?
4) Where were Diggs & Knox?
Other than those questions, I cannot help but be optimistic about this team. Gut punch loss that sucks. No two ways about it.
But we have not only a franchise QB - we have easily a top 2-5 QB in the league. Stacked young roster. Amazing organization.
Nothing stopping the Buffalo Bills from being Super Bowl contenders the next 10+ years.
Next season the AFC goes through Buffalo.
