No. No I would not. I would consider but a missed opportunity for the city. But in the scope of sports it's possible to both not win a Championship and have a successful run. Especially because of the level of talent currently at the top of the AFC that they are stacked up against year in and year out. The Bills going from 17 years outside the playoffs to 5 straight division championships and 2 AFCCG appearances May not be the level of success we desire to see the team achieve...but it is success nonetheless. Brushing off the accomplishments of the team during this run just because they didn't win it all is such a self sabotaging outlook IMO. Everyone is free to feel different on this. I totally see the other side of the coin so to speak. But being thankful for a buck shot of other goals achieved is a good thing too.

Furthermore, I don't know if he's back with the Chiefs next year even if he does come back. Kelce carries a $19M cap hit. Of which the Chiefs save $17M if they cut him. With Noah Grey looking like a potential breakout candidate and Kelce taking steps back (though still was able to put up top 5 TE numbers) it may just be time to move on. The only way I see him back in KC is on a significantly reduced salary, which in my opinion would motivate him even less to play. There may be legs to this storyline this off season.

Hall of Fame, one of the all time best. Extremely successful career. How successful? It's 30 years later and he's still talked about. How do you look at Trent Dilfer's career?

What a weird kind of ultimatum. Are the Bills in contention every year? Yes. Are they in the playoffs every year? Every year sans one under McDermott. Are they profitable? Yes. 5 straight division championships. That's a winning team. Fans are absolutely delusional sometimes. The "Super Bowl or we are losers" mentality held by fans is not the reality of how an ownership approaches it. This year we had a first time play caller on defense. An OC that took over for his first full year putting his offense in. Traded our #1 WR. Our best boundary WR this year was MACK HOLLINS. Gutted our defense, lost many players that had a leadership role...and still came within 3 points of beating the (at the time )2 time defending champions in their house in the AFCCG. This last year was a WIN considering many both here and in the media predicted a third place division finish and no playoffs. It's really ironic people are claiming he's "on the hot seat" coming off a year where he probably had his best season as a coach. I get it. Change is sometimes needed when you aren't number one. But change for change sake often leads to failure. Who are you replacing him with? And how does the team look once said coach comes in, hires 2 new coordinators, guts the roster a bit to get guys who fit his systems?

Guy has an immensely talented roster and works under who I consider to be the best GM in football. He coaches in the NFC without a lot of great teams at the top. He's in a dream situation...but that doesn't make him the "best coach". I think if you put a lot of coaches in his spot they have about the same success. I will give him credit for being able to assemble a good staff, however. Give me a coach that does more with less. Quinn last year, heck Gannon out in Arizona. Getting more from their roster than many would think. That's a better coaching job in my eyes. People love to rag on Nagy...but the dude made the playoffs TWICE with Trubisky as his QB. I'd like to see him get a second chance somewhere.

Lol. No. Not even close. Guy just coached the Bills to the AFCCG. Terry loves him. The players still strongly support him. After losing in the Divisional round the last few years they actually took a step forward with less perceived talent on the roster. He's closer to getting another extension than he is being on the hot seat IMO.

Bolton addresses something the Bills lack. A run stopping LBer. A very good 2 down thumper that can step in and play in bad weather, against run heavy teams and in short yardage. He should be reasonable cost. I like the 4 you mentioned BUT....Milano and Bernard are always candidates to miss time. Buffalo Joe is a good prospect but still a bit green and Dorian (who is my personal favorite LBer we have) still gets lost in the shuffle too much. We may run a base nickel, but Taron misses time this year as well. Bolton give us the flexibility to run more 4-3 looks per down and distance and lighten his load as he ages.

To all the ones saying Kincaid, you are dead wrong IMO. If what Knox said was true and he was playing through a knee injury this year, Beane will give him time to heal and come back. This is what they have done in the past with guys like Spencer Brown. And that makes Knox more valuable as an alternative of Kincaid doesn't come back healthy. Far too early to flip Kincaid for a 3rd rather than see if he comes back and is the guy he flashed he could be as a rookie. The only way I see them trading Kincaid is if some GM goes crazy and makes a huge offer OR the medicals on him show he won't heal properly.

Bills are pretty deep on the OL. Maybe a Bates type trade where we get a late rounder or late round pick swap for one of our guys there. I like RVD but he seems like he got passed on the depth chart a bit. Maybe they move him. Maybe they talk a team to take a chance on Elam for like a 2026 6th rounder, but maybe they bring him back because of his low salary as they seem to be leaning more man to man based on recent coaching hires.

Honestly, I'd be happy with Bolton from the Chiefs too. He can be burnt in coverage, but he's really solid against the run, which is something we can really use.

Just because someone works under someone else does not instantly make them a disciple of the coach in charge was my point. If Harkey is the hire, we don't know if he shares the same philosophy, thought process, emphasis as Smiley did. For all we know he's the Ying to Smiley's Yang. Again, we don't know what we don't know. So stating in a factual manner that the hiring would suck is a bit far. As I said, we don't know what we don't know. If Harkey is hired, sure it's more than fair to be skeptical that something will change. It's more than fair to have the opinion that it's just status quo. But it's also wise to be open to see if things improve before automatically assuming it won't. Believe me, if this is the route they go I'll roll my eyes harder than most here...but I'll have an open mind and see the results before I say it sucks

I couldn't care less about Worthy or that it was the Chiefs in particular we traded with. I have more of a problem with the overall process. Typically, as Beane has eluded to in the past, Buffalo has a group of guys they would select. And they are reactive with that list. They watch it dwindle until there's one or two guys left and make a small jump to grab them if they must...like they did with Kincaid. In other words, they let those that select before them dictate which one they end up with. Last year I'd imagine when the Bills were on the clock they had a bunch of players left on their list and moved down knowing they would get one of them. I'd much rather identify the guy you want the most and move up and grab that dude. At the end of the day, the Chiefs identified who they wanted and went and got him. Had the Bills been aggressive and moved up about the same amount of spots the Chiefs did they are in Brian Thomas Jr. territory.

Why is that? What do you know about the guy? Truth is I dislike the almost automatic "promote from within" philosophy McDermott has a lot as well...but we don't know what we don't know. Heck Brady worked under Dorsey and that turned out just fine. For all we know, Harkey had some really good ideas and was shot down by Smiley. Maybe he didn't. Who knows. Either way I can't say if Harkey would be a good or bad hire because there is literally nothing typically known about an Assistant Special Teams Coach.

The thing the Eagles do that I love is whenever there's a guy that's slipping down the board, be it character concerns, injury or what have you ..they take that chance. Sometimes it doesn't work out but then it does they typically score a huge value for the pick. Baltimore does this too and both do it primarily on defense guys. And it's paid off for years for both.

Watch the Chiefs kick something like a 50+ yard FG just to avoid the shut out. I actually find that more pathetic than being shut out

Hahahahahahahha...Eff you KC. Karma coming to get ya. No threepete for you

Pats usually have some decent DB play.

Rams are a good team. People forget the had lost a bit when Kupp/Puka were both out. But with both back, when Stafford bia on that's a top end club

Playing the if game, our run defense doesn't likely hold Barkley as well as KCs did in that first half. Plus we have started slow all year. I think it's more like 27-10 at this point Eagles.

Every few years you get that team that's just locked in. And no one is beating in the Super Bowl. Kind of like the Redskins the year we played them. That's Philly here. Doesn't matter who the AFC sent Philly was too over powered.

Good trees don't grow from bad seeds

The Bills Assistant ST coach for the last 3 years has been Cory Harkey. I suggest becoming familiar with him. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches-roster/cory-harkey

Denver is his next stop. Reunion with Sean Payton.

Smart move for Moore. He gets likely a 4-5 year guaranteed contract that makes him way more then he probably would have made. He never has to take a job he doesn't really want again. If he somehow stumbles into fixing the Saints, he makes even more. If not he'll have a few years of pay he doesn't have to work for. Being a HC also opens other avenues for coaches. Let's say he gets fired in 2 years...he could go the college HC route, the offensive advisor path or even one of the many Sunday morning pregame shows. If a dolt of a personality like Jason Garrett can land one...any former HC should be able to. He's been passed over many times before for various reasons and this may have been his final realistic shot IMO

A tradition like no other...
