Honestly no. I thought in the offseason they would have addressed the WR position further as you could see it needed some help. They are betting youth in Coleman Kincaid Shakir works out long term and Beane seems hell bent to not mess with the cap so long term they are far more free. I do not agree with this and you can clearly see that a more veteran presence OR double dipping for a different type of WR in the draft would've helped but I don't run the team.

Last year Chiefs four losses, three were one score games and 1 was a double digit loss to DEN (weird). 2022 for KC: all three losses were one score 2021 for KC: three losses one score, two blow out losses Bills & Titans....? (WTF). After the Titans loss they were actually 3-4 which is wild as that was the last time they were under .500 that far into the season.

Exactly. They just ended an NFL run of not being blown out when they lost to the Ravens. It actually is a credit to the consistency of the team and how good they are that this stat exists.

Ravens loss I think everyone kinda knew and expected that in some capacity. Yesterday the way they lost and how bad the offense/17 was has got us to peak post loss posting (I am guilty of this also)

Mahomes gets a TD when it was 20-17 not a FG. That is the difference he closes Kelly made a SB by now Josh hasn't. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt until otherwise and he is not a young kid anymore, highest paid guy on roster he can get criticism.

Divisional games are always different as both teams know each other pretty well. Josh has done well vs NY when they run at them and he stays patient. Their d line is good but lacks the depth of prior years and their safeties are shaky. Much relies on finding a rythem and not falling down 14 early

Oh this game is far far from an easy win. I am just looking that they are not a great team compared to BAL/HOU, IF BUF can do some good things they will have their chance to close. We are 2-2 vs NY the last two years so nothing is for granted here nor do they have the luxury to think so. I will say this, I think the offense is a good WR away from being far better and the WR corp being more set then it is now. They just need more talent and I am nervous Beane fails to address it this year and we waste a season because of it.

Last two weeks they were on the road and got down big early. Unfortunately I think it altered the game plan quickly AND Josh this week then got super hero cape on and did not settled down. Mix in the issues the pass catchers had and o line and it was a full on disaster that only turnovers and a bit better play in the 2nd saved from being worse.

the additional wild card spot makes it truthfully a lot harder for a top QB on a down year/team to also miss now. If there were only 2 wildcards I think the Bills would have more to be nervous about but that additional spot allows for more error.

The big thing with the Bills is they almost need this more then NY which is weird to say, but Buffalo expects a higher standard and knows they are opening the door wider if they lose. They have been in this spot before and closed and McD has got the team together and going. NY hasn't & Rodgers frankly just looks old and very average, if the Bills can do the good things they do they will win.

Trust me it has been in my head since the CIN loss. Mahomes forever is 1 in the league, Josh at his best is probably the only QB that actually can go toe to toe to that degree which we saw in 13 seconds. BUT his bad variance games which have happened every year minus 2020 (which surprise he was 2nd in MVP) eliminate him from being an MVP front runner and also lower the team itself from hitting that 13-14 win place. I do not doubt he has the talent to win a SB, but the flaws especially on a roster that now has less talent with part of that being his salary as a reason are real as heck. Hate saying it, but that just seems to be his place. I do not thing he could win a SB like Mahomes did last year in terms of offensive talent around him, I think he will always need a little bit more like Burrow Lamar etc.

It is why most analysis said this year will be different for the Bills with a lot of games like this or Cards because the talent especially on offense is not there or developed. The Bills will probably get to 10-7/11-6 by seasons end, but the journey will be far harsher and closer then years prior and they will waste opportunities that they use to convert that may have allowed a far greater season W/L wise.

It is why I put it as season altering. The season is not over Monday but the directions it goes vary big time based on W/L

Yesterday was the type of loss I have to give another day before I begin commenting otherwise it is just raging words and anger haha, nothing of substance. Here is my thoughts after the Houston game and in general where things are: 1. The offense will not be as bad as they were the last two weeks, BUT it is not as good as they showed either in the first 3. Tape is out on how to slow the offense by pressuring Josh and betting that the Bills pass catchers even with Shakir will not separate in time. I will say this the Ravens and Texans have two very good defensive lines that can cause pressure in way most can't. But if you are part of the camp like I was that this offense was hurting itself by removing Diggs and never adding a true proven veteran or double dipping in the draft you feel sadly justified right now. Hollins has cost the team back to back weeks, Kincaid has regressed badly, MVS apparently exists, Samuels is colossal failure at this point. The two bright spots are Shakir and honestly Coleman who while not perfect has at least made some true plays. The offense may grow, they will have better weeks, and I am sure Brady will figure some things out but the lack of talent at WR brings this team down to an early exit in the playoffs as currently constructed and opens the division up in a way it shouldn't be. I will get to coaching in later but the dashboard on the most important part of the team is blinking in bad way right now. 2. Calling a spade a spade 17 needs to be better. Two weeks back to back he has been anywhere from average to atrocious. I understand the issues at line and pass catcher, but he was paid to also be the guy in these games vs top teams. BAL I am less angered at because he seemed far more dialed in and until the epic trick play went down I think he was fine. But yesterday made me question for the first time in years if Josh can go the distance as the guy. For as many issues and lack of support he had, he also caused his own errors and just seemed lost in a very bad way. The critics of Josh not being at Mahomes level or Lamar will have a field day and justifiably so. I am sure that Josh will rebound eventually and have bunch of good games, but days like yesterday are why he has never won an MVP and why people say he is overrated or will not carry the water to get them over the hump. I have tried to ignore that for a bit, but when you are now in the record book for worst completion % in history that is saying something. 3. Coaching AGAIN. I feel like I am repeating myself but this is why they have never got the 1 seed, it feels like a yearly occurrence this staff successfully cost this team a win that matters big time standings wise and this time nationally they got roasted. I resigned myself last year that McD is probably not going anywhere unless they miss the playoffs badly, so I won't waste time on the issues and errors again. Babich I will give some flowers to because the defense other then the blown coverage on Collins TD (which was bad) did a nice job keeping them in this game and disrupting Stroud in the 2nd half. The injuries are known with what they are dealing with so given that I thought they did as well as expected given the kids. 4. Luck. FOR ONE FREAKING TIME CAN A KICKER FLUB A DISTANCE KICK OR MAYBE JUST MAYBE MISS. SWEAR TO GOD IT IS ALWAYS US ON THAT SHORT END OF THE STICK. Rant over. 5. The rushing attack will need to be used more whether I like it or not. Cook has had a good season, Johnson & Davis need to be used more. When they get the rushing attack going good things have been happening. I expect when the offense refinds itself it will become like last year the final 6-7 games where they run a lot and pass when it has opportunity. I think your wasting Joshs talent but so be it I guess if that is your best way to win. 6. Dwanye Carter looks like a potentially very good DT. One game I know, but very much liked his play and aggression. He blew up their rushing attack a bunch and kept moving the pocket back. I honestly would rather he stays in over Oliver or Jones at this point who both have been shaky this year. 7. Kincaid. Honestly the greatest disappointment for me this year is him. He showed so many flashes last year and looked like at least a quality starter long term. This year he isn't catching the ball, isn't breaking coverage, and in general at times feels like a liability. They really need him to pull a 180 because a lot of this offenses potential relies on him becoming a focal point. 8. LB doesn't feel too bad right now. I miss Milano, but Dorian Williams has showed some nice growth and with Bernard back feels like a solid duo. Bernard was great yesterday and maybe Williams can grow into a quality starter where those two are the future together long term. 9. The AFC sucks this year which makes the last two losses even more frustrating. If ever there was a year where the 1 seed might be really open (KC will lose some games coming up) or even the 2 seed for gosh sakes this year really feels like it and they are blowing that opportunity. 10. Monday night feels pretty massive at this point. Not season ending as much as season altering. A win and your 4-2 with a stranglehold on the division with a lot of home games coming. Lose and your tied for the division along with being 2-3 in conference which starts hurting your playoff chances in general. The Jets are not exactly looking great either but truthfully I think this game is far more about Buffalo coming out with a truly good effort and gameplan across the board then NY.

Bills 24 Texans 20 Back and forth game but Josh wills them at the end with a late TD to Kincaid with a minute to go and the Texans rally with 1 min left fails at the Bills 40. Frustrating game, but Bills figure it out.

the limit does not exist my friend

Yep, he is now the worst player in the NFL time to move on. KEEP UP!

HEY YOU STOLE MY ENDING LOL

Same. It is interesting though because the Ravens are historically a pretty strong team starting seasons since Lamar got there. Some of the questions people had o-line and defensively related this year and them regressing seem far more real then in a while. Still it really is a must win for them as their schedule doesn't "lighten" until week 6-9 as I would say they should win all of those games or be 3-1 at worst. Like I said in my prediction a loss really changes zero view of the season for me with the Bills as I expect they will be 4-2 come TEN and finish 11-6/12-5. Winning this game though opens up the idea of a 13-4 type year or better because truthfully there is probably not another tougher matchup on the road, NYJ feel far easier comparatively with situation & home environment.

Ravens 24 Bills 23 I want to asterisk that if the Bills win I think they finish the season 13-4/14-3. That is how much stock I put into this game because I think as is they are winning the division at 11-6/12-5, but this is a very tough game that changes a season to be special vs really good IMO (think Rams 2020). The Ravens are 10-3 at home in primetime in black and look to be on the upswing despite injuries and a defense that is a major work in progress. Ravens come out with a good punch to go up 14-3 entering the 2nd quarter as they get two early rushing TDs split between Henry/Lamar. In the 2nd quarter though Josh rallies the troops on a long 7 min drive and scores a TD courtesy of Knox from 3 yards out to make it 14-10 and then a Lamar turnover allows the Bills a quick FG before entering half to make it 14-13. Buffalo gets the ball out of half and Allen finally hits MVS on a deep pass for a 55 yard TD to go up 20-14. The Ravens answer with a TD drive of their own finished by Flowers scoring on one of those reverse drop passes and the 4th quarter starts 21-20. After trading possessions Allen drives the Bills downfield with 6 mins left before they miss a 3rd and goal as Cooks drops the pass in the endzone with 1:20 left. Settling for a FG the nightmare last loss comes as the Bills defense is unable to hold the Ravens to midfield setting up a Tucker FG from 52 that just squeaks in. Allen 283 yds 2 TDs 1 Int 32 yds rush Cooks 76 yds 14 att MVS 3 rec 98 yds 1 TD

Bills for some reason have not done alternates since 2021 with standing Buffalo. Since then only change is the red unis 1-2 times a year. I have thought for the last season at the stadium you may see the standing buffalo and finally the red shell helmets back. Otherwise though not sure why they are wasting making more money.

Thanks for leaving out seeing me in the stands, really appreciate the love lol

I have enjoyed doing this on a monthly basis so nearing the end of September and look at kind of best case worst case, I will get to the NFC later this week. Agree, disagree, tell me I am completely wrong lets do this: AFC Title Rematch Incoming Buffalo- The last time they went 3-0 out of the gate they went to the AFC title. 17 is playing the best he ever has, the youth is taking a strong step, and the coaching has been a revelation. There will be obstacles and up & downs throughout, but this team seems to have a vibe that maybe it is their time to take a shot at the title from KC. Kansas City- They have not looked great in any of the games this year, injuries have mounted, and they have had some fortune go their way. Still until they lose in the playoffs they are the immovable object for everyone else and Mahomes never goes away. 3-0 without playing your best ball is scary for everyone else and their schedule is relatively light especially after knocking out CIN and BAL already. Hype Is High, Results Are Ok, But Remains To Be Seen Where They Go New York- Two and one feels about right as the offense seems to be finding its way and Rodgers is looking more comfortable. Their defense though has some tough injuries and the depth up front is not what it was. With CIN 0-3, MIA 1-2 and Tualess they should walk into the playoffs at this point, but the path might be bumpier then many thought. Also why does Nate Hackett keep getting jobs? Houston- The CJ Stroud hype train slowed down after Flores threw everything including the kitchen sink at him with no answer by Stroud. Houston will win this division because it is trash otherwise and the talent is certainly on the roster. BUT their is a reason Mahomes/Allen/Jackson/Burrow have been held to a certain level the last bunch of years and Stroud needs to take another step if he truly is going into their atmosphere. Future Looks Interesting And One of Them Will Take A Playoff Spot From Someone (CIN/BAL) You Expected In Pittsburgh- Fields has taken a true step and their offense is actually watchable. He may never be the all pro many hoped, but he is providing solid play and growing which mixed with that defense is a real issue for most of their opponents. It is a long season but Pittsburgh has built a nice cushion to work from and the division could be theirs if all goes well. Los Angeles Bolt People- The talent is in a reset and Alt being out hurts, but good coaching does wonders. Their schedule is relatively light this year and with expected contenders like CIN, BAL, & MIA all having issues (JAC out of the picture) their is a decent path available if they can hold serve. 0-3 Is A Tough Hole For Anyone & The Directions For Both Teams Are Very Murky Cincy- This has felt like the last dance for this CIN group as with big contracts to pay 2025 will see major change. Unfortunately for Bengal fans the losses on defense in the offseason haven't been filled and even with Burrow playing far better going 10-4 the remainder of the way with only 6 home games left is a tough ask in this division. The loss to NE week 1 has removed any remaining room for error at this point. Jacksonville- I think most football fans wanted/hoped to see Trevor Lawrence blossom further as he is a fun player to watch, but this year has shown regression instead. Time is running out and requires a real soul searching effort across the roster to right this ship back to float otherwise coach and maybe even QB could see their days numbered. The QB Is Sinking These Teams For Different Reasons Cleveland- The remainder of the roster is solid but Watson is sinking any chance this team has and the capable backup they have (who probably is better at this point) isn't getting the call which feels like a mistake the longer the season goes. I have said the Browns last year got all the breaks and this year was market correction, it could get real bad by December in Believeland. Miami- Year 3 and pre Tua injury it already looked like the magic McDaniel had might have been getting low as it was. Without Tua they go from playoff hopeful to a team that very possibly is drafting top 10. Tua will never be a top 5 QB, but he is solid and Miami is learning how frail their lineup is without him and that McDaniel might not be as good of a coach as thought prior. AFC South QBs Indy- Richardson is soo erratic but also makes 2-3 plays weekly that are highlight real stuff to watch like his 78 yard TD vs Houston. Playoffs are probably a no given his up & down nature plus their defense being so beat up, but perhaps Richardson can take a step and gain some consistency to even out his game. If so next year could be really interesting in IND. Tennessee- Will Levis experience is Josh Allen in 2018-19 on red bull x 5. He successfully cost them weeks 1 & 2 and last week was not very good. But the talent is real if he can ever get the wildness reigned in, the Ridley TD week 2 vs NYJ was gorgeous. The rest of the team is whatever, pretty much everything rides on whether Levis can find control and consistency for how things pan out short and long term. No One Knows What Their Plan Is Or Goal This Year/Long Term Chan Gailey Drought Bills Las Vegas- The roster has some legit talent on it, but realistically they are bottom 3rd in the AFC with no true solution at QB while playing for a coach who keeps their team around to not be bad enough to draft high. They will be 5-7 come December in the hunt before finishing 5-12/6-11 and wasting another year with no real plan. Breaking In New QBs, It Is All About Growth New England- Mayo started off hot and has his team playing hard, but realistically it will be a long year. Once Maye is in their season will be judged off how he grows or doesn't. Denver- Nix had a very good game week 3 and DEN fans should just hope the growth arrow continues to point further up as the season goes. Their defense is not bad, but the overall roster needs another offseason to infuse talent while Nix finds his way this year.
