    So, who do we bring in to replace Daboll if he's NY bound?

     

    Hopefully an external candidate. Zero reason we should hand the job to someone with no play calling experience just because they're on the Bills staff now. The best play callers in the world will beg for an opportunity to coach a Josh Allen led offense. If we limit ourselves to an internal hire that is another knock on McDermott IMO.

    The next level I’m thinking about is scoring 40 on a regular basis and not having Allen running the ball like Earl Campbell.

     

    I don't care if Allen runs the ball that often. I prefer it when he runs. He is unstoppable when he runs and passes as well as he did tonight. I think we would have scored 40 if Daboll hadn't been an idiot on a couple drives and then OT wouldn't have been an option.

    Hanging 50 on the Chiefs is also an option with this QB. Totally agree with your point but you also need to naturally keep up with offensive attrition and continue to arm the eff out of Allen every single year moving forward. 35-40 pts is the baseline in a game like this so yeah I think you do need to constantly improve the offense. Maybe air out KC instead of trying to stop them.

     

    I hear you but we probably could have hung 50 on them tonight with better play calling on a few critical drives. We failed to convert two 3rd downs where Allen handed the ball off. The Chiefs wrecked a couple of our drives because Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram and Frank Clark made game changing plays. That was the difference in this game, not offensive talent. CB was also a huge problem tonight. Jackson was brutal all night and Wallace whiffed his coverage on the final throw to Kelce in regulation. Those are real upgrades that could have made a tangible difference in this game.

    So, are you saying this offense couldn’t reach another level with our own Tyreek Hill or Deebo Samuel?

     

    Honestly, no. The only thing that stopped the offense tonight was Daboll taking the ball out of his best player's hands. Last week we had a perfect offensive game. What next level is there? The defense on the other hand lacks game changers. We needed one elite play from them tonight and we didn't get it.

    I somewhat agree with this, but we have waste 2 years of drafts and FAs and tied up a bunch of cap space on minimal results. Not having White has hurt, but we need another legit CB. I’m to the point where I don’t think we have the ability to evaluate defensive talent. Just keep drafting speed WRs and let Allen cook so we don’t have to punt. 

     

    I would make a big splash this offseason. Trade for Khalil Mack if he's available. Or Danielle Hunter at least. Too many times tonight DEs had their hands on Mahomes and couldn't bring him down. We need a game wrecker on defense to take this team to a championship level.

    Not trying to be overly reactionary here: Beasley is likely gone and I like Davis over Sanders, we do need some more depth at WR and we need speed there. Being able to spread the ball around is huge for Josh and our offense - we likely need 2 WRs in FA or the draft. Spencer Brown had his hands full with Ingram, he is a rookie and will get better, but we need to get some interior OL guys as well to start growing over the next 2 years. We can't sacrifice our depth too much to clear cap for other needs.

     

    The problem is that shootouts are coin toss games, quite literally as we found out tonight. I don't want to hear anymore about this supposed #1 defense. It still isn't anywhere near good enough. Offenses need an elite QB and a couple other good players to be elite. Defenses need an elite player at each level, front middle and back. We have one elite player who unfortunately tore his ACL. But that still isn't good enough to stop Mahomes.

  7. After watching tonight's game I don't know how anyone thinks adding offense will help us beat the Chiefs. Sure we could use another playmaker but that isn't going to stop Mahomes and Hill and Kelce from getting 40 yards in 10 seconds. We need a CB and a pass rusher. And a play caller that knows who the best player on the field is.

    He might pick it up off the bounce. That is still a possibility. I think they coached scared of Hill in that moment. It was a mistake.

     

    I wish they had coached scared of him on the ensuing series in that case. There is no way to excuse that end of game coaching. I can't even try to imagine what McDermott was thinking.

    Their thinking was don't kick it to Tyreek Hill but I think the percentage chance of him breaking one is lower than the chances of Mahomes with two throws and all his time outs getting into range.

     

    Was a poor decision. 

     

    If you squib it, Hill doesn't touch the ball.

  10. Yep McDermott lost us this game on that kickoff. I'm sick. It's a very simple decision. Chew up some time, that's more important than starting their drive at the 25. He may never live this down.
