You won't? You just watch coaching win a super bowl, when the teams elite QB was lifeless for 3 Qtrs. You just saw the difference in real time. With 3 minutes left in the 3rd, KC punted the ball for the 6th time in 9 drives, they'd only scored 6 points and Mahomes had thrown an awful INT. If Allen did that, do you think they'd be down 7, or 50?

I'm not saying he didn't come through, because he did. But boy does tonight make you wish Josh had even half the caliber of teamattes and coaches as Pat. KC punted the ball with under 3 minutes left in the 3rd, their 6th punt in 9 drives, they had scored a total of 6 pts, and Mahomes had thrown a horrendous int. And yet they won a Super Bowl. If Allen played like that for 3 qtrs, SF would win 67-0

We don't have as much evidence that Mahomes is miles ahead of Allen as we do that Reid is on a different planet than Mcd. You've taken the sports media, it's all the QB route. Lacks nuance at best, disingenuous at worst. Unless of course you think Jared Goff is also better than Allen

You don't think the lack of attention to the offense is a leash?

He has no plan B on defense

People are assuming WAY too many things if they want the Diggs route to have been the throw

I'm one of the boards most vocal Mcd detractors to be sure. I believe he should go, and far too many resources get allocated to the defense as long as he remains. But today's question is more about the bull heated nature of that plan, even on the rest of the defense. This regime has made 11 picks in the first 2 rounds, 4 of those were DL picks, 1 LB, 1 CB. In addition to those they've obviously also signed Miller/Floyd/Jones etc. That's obviously enormous investment, and we know it hurt the offense, but how many times do we have to watch it not work on D before we acknowledge that it's hurt them too? Or maybe that whatever the plan is sucks all together? For the 4th straight playoff exit, pressure on the QB was non existent, and run defense was weak. Their were certainly injuries this time, but it's left people saying man, if we just had that LB we drafted in the 3rd round, or that 6th round CB, we could have won. If Hyde and Poyer were younger, we could have won In the end, the obsession with an ineffective DL rotation, left us crossing our fingers that mid and late round picks overperform, and left them with no defensive depth. Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

And more players won't fix that, it's been tried, twice. And yet in every big game the defense hits a new low An overmatched coach every time, the players aren't what needs an upgrade on defense

It would be tripling down and catastrophic, so they'll do it

It's happened when they are healthy too. 4 punts in 3 playoff games against a coach who's supposedly a defensive specialist. And for the record it's anyone but Klein on Kelce, should have happened well before the 4th. Bad coach, full stop

Burrow ain't Manning. Browning was respectable with that supporting cast. If he's still on that level when he loses pieces, starting with Tee, we'll talk

Why is this take everywhere? Also did anyone actually see Diggs and Shakir

You're actually saying that the defense is so bad Allen should pass up points in the final two minutes of a playoff game he's losing to account for that? Completely ignoring the myriad of things that can go wrong on any subsequent plays. Allen KNEW he loses the game if they score 3, just like we all did. So he tried to do what this pathetic coach has always forced him to do, which is EVERYTHING, all by himself.

This is an absolutely ABSURD take

Defense even when it's healthy doesn't come through in big games. Were they injured? Sure... is their any reason to believe we don't see a rerun? Absolutely not. Mcd put Klein out there and left him for dead. A true defensive specialist wouldn't do that. As always good coaching can overcome a lot, and the bills don't have a good coach

Actual Wrs, and a HC to develop them

Given everything you said about the D, which is accurate, the thought of not taking points to wind clock creeps in. But you have to take them if they are there, 1000 things can go wrong if you try and grind the clock too. Mcd does have to go, but he won't, this is who he is. And most importantly, the offense needs to be rebuilt on the cheap, he can't do that. So even one more year of Allen's prime wasted is too much

Didn't have my phone all night. Don't need to see the same script another time. Mcdermott should be fired tomm Every time that Mahomes has beaten Allen, Allen has been just as good, and probably better than Mahomes during the game. I think Mahomes made one tough throw all night. Mcdermott has never made it hard for him. Meanwhile Allen does Madden ***** all game long

GB vs DET and LAR vs Dallas are both much more preferable for the league. Just saying

It's not TOTALLY insane, but I still don't think you wanna go on the road to KC on purpose

It's not that we don't know we got some luck, it's that some fail to realize every team gets lucky. Some seem to think only the Bills do. And this is coming from a guy who's been wildly critical of Mcd all year. Every team deals with lucky and unlucky, still wishing for better preparation personally so luck has not as large a role

I'm ok with your premise kind of, but Flacco did just nearly lose a home game to the Bears

Not a good player, that being said the injury to Hyde gives the team the benefit of knowing they need more aggression at safety... Rapp is simultaneously awful and a better scheme fit than old, slow, Hyde

I think Browning should continue at a level high enough to win them games, elite weapons, friendly schedule

The defense still gave that up, as they always do, were fortunate to get a penalty but were well on their way to folding like a cheap suit
