I wish everyone just reacted the exact way I want and exactly the same way I would so that I can feel justified in my backward ass way of thinking.

Bills are +160 to win the 1 seed (source: ESPN Bet Live). After we win and Chiefs lose this week, those odds will not be as favorable, said Captain Obvious

I mean, we all see it. It happens to every team. Every coach. It has been happening for decades. I do not think it is a McD or Bills issue.

It seems like you are neglecting the catalyst for why this hapens so often in sports. The team that is down is usually altering their gameplan in real time. The defense knows this or anticipates this.

The 1 seed is attainable. I think KC will lose 2 of 3. But can we sweep?

That was just the organization leaning on the media to try and help them flip Elam for a washing machine and a 2034 7th rd pick. I kid.

At least you admit you don't trust his coaching. I have had my own doubts about the Defense as a whole just like most fans. But my concerns are to be voiced in the offseason as they deal with personnel/scheme/philosophy. To just blindly assume your guys (elam, bishop) are better or give us a better chance because you say so is asinine. I trust the coach to make personnel decisions, ESPECIALLY in regards to the secondary. Check. Your. Ego, Coach.

I think you and others have it backwards and are blaming a coaching staff for a player's inability to rise above multiple players over years. Or you think he has more skill/ceiling due to flashes or draft position. Forget that. As others pointed out, we will play the best players. And yes, part of that involves scheme and consistency. You gotta really thread a fine needle by praising the coaching staff in regards to the secondary and saying there is trust. And then continuously question them. There is of course a time for debate and discourse. I just think this is one of those times, a specific kind of fan should check their ego/hubris and just shut up about Elam.

Some need to make up their minds. Do you trust McD and Co. in regards to the secondary? Or do you not? Seen multiple people say one thing and then proceed to still not trust them by adding their Elam comment. My take? If there is a process to trust, it is the mother-efing secondary evaluations. If they think Elam is the best option to start, he will start. If he isn't the best option in their opinion, he doesn't. Why make it more complex or conspiratorial?

A. You dont qb sneak there. B. If you are, get in your normal formation (3 people behind him like how we scored). C. You didnt need to call timeout. Spiking it or calling another play ASAP is far greater than killing your chances by using timeout. Huge huge huge huge mistake(s)

I was about to respond saying in my tony romo voice, "I don'tttt knowww, Jim.. I can see Tenn putting up a fight" as Houston scored on their first play after a long KR haha

Disgusting

Doesnt mean I like that narrative B.S. drives the conversation and the betting odds. But Tomlin went against his assistants in naming Wilson the starter. And obviously a great record. Thats it.

This award, like many, comes down to narrative. And it's week-to-week, like everything else in the NFL. And right now, Mike Tomlin easily has the best narrative.
