Rew

Mcbeane has helped provide talent for the best offense (or 2nd best depending on your measuring stick) in the NFL over the last 5 years. It's okay to say it's not perfect or that we need to make moves to prevent to offense from regressing, but pretending that we haven't put a lot into the offense and gotten a lot of results out of it is asinine. On topic, with Kincaid here I think Shakir can be our #2 WR next year and for several years from now. I think we add a WR in the first 2 days and the draftee ends 4th in targets, maybe 3rd if he is able to pull ahead of Shakir by mid season. Diggs>Kincaid>Shakir>Knox/Cook/Future#1 is general target distribution throughout season. By '25 Diggs would ideally be replaced as lead receiver and move to a roll where he and Shakir fight for WR reps, with either of them ending as #3 in targets.

At least we can be dramatic about teams other than the Bills too

I think it was a reference to "seeing it live it looked like a serious lower leg injury. Came back as an Achilles. Not surprised to hear it confirmed after what we saw on tape". However, it came out really... Crass? Offensive? I think it was a reference to "seeing it live it looked like a serious lower leg injury. Came back as an Achilles.

Agreed. It was a nostalgia type show for the 35-45 crowd. More notable for the collection of memories than being a great performance.

Everything occured behind the LOS. It was basically a delayed screen.

There were 2 chiefs and 4 blockers. It was great play design. Of course somebody could have made a ridiculous play on the low velocity throw, but disingenuous to call it luck.

He was pretty broadly perceived as a good defensive mind in his time before the bills and even with the bills. I think he can be an effective coordinator still, but needs to be paired with the right HC to maintain team culture and discipline when in the presence of a very casual, player friendly coach.

People read way into one sentence in a much longer statement. Reading the entire interview I had three takeaways. 1. Diggs is exhausted with making comments and having the media dramatize them. 2. Diggs feels his personal relationships are much different than represented in the media and doesn't really care (anymore). 3. Diggs was determined to make as neutral of commentary as possible about his future because he doesn't really care for the media to know anything. I don't know what you can take from any of these comments in context, and taking them out of context is just feeding into the problem and fabricating hot takes. He may want to be somewhere else, or he may continue to give it 110% in Buffalo like he has shown to do his whole time here with players that he has previously expressed happiness in playing with.

Chiefs are pulling an extra man or two into the box. The line hasn't changed at all

Gotta get off the run. There's 6+ down in the box every play now

With 10 chiefs on the field it makes sense sense. Sucks it didn't work.

Shakir blocking Gabe out of a contract.

Disagree. We're doing very well on 1st down all night. Like 6-8 yards most series.

We have 3 lbs right now. We're going to have bad matchups all night.

Challenge what? The Chiefs recovered...

5 steps. See link. There is a great image of all 5 steps about 2/3rd's down the article. https://www.nfl.com/playerhealthandsafety/health-and-wellness/player-care/concussion-protocol-return-to-participation-protocol

There is nothing definitive about a single or multiple concussions. Each one is different and follows the same protocol. The average time to clear protocol for multiple in the same season is longer, but there is nothing in the rules that prevents him from coming back quickly if he clears all the steps. He could clear it in 5 days, or this could be his worst ever and not clear for a month. Key is to watch for cleared for non contact by Friday.

He really doesn't seem to match the physicality of the rest of the defense. He looks like he's on skates every time someone is running at him with the ball. He might have been an nfl starter 5 years ago, but with the way the run game seems to be surging back he is a liability. His coverage, as always, is not bad and he makes good plays on the ball. It's like to see him hit the gym in the off-season and come back with another 10 lbs of muscle. Otherwise, he'll never be a starter for the Bills.

What McDermott has done on defense with the continual injuries at every level throughout the season may be unprecedented.

With the way the defense has been playing I think McD was counting on getting the ball back before half. A bit greedy, but we wanted to score with 2:30 left and leave enough time for us to score again.

I probably would have gone for it, but don't hate the call. We're going to have to count on Bass in the off-season, and that was a good low pressure opportunity to see how you're feeling about him. Can't let result dictate assessment of the decision.

My comment wasn't to suggest that he should be dressing or playing X number of snaps right now. Purely a response to "he's toast, shot, done, he's insert more derogatory term here". He's going to be more physically ready next year than he is now. There's no way to know if he'll ever be back at the same level, but also no reason to think Aaron Maybin is his new ceiling. Right now he shouldn't be taking meaningful time from someone that the coaches currently grade better at doing what they are asked to do.

It's equally reasonable to believe that he is still recovering and will look better every week and certainly be better next year than he is now. Given his age and injury, it's reasonable to wonder what dropoff he'll eventually have, but pretending that his current condition is his forever condition starts to seem unreasonable.

The entire premise of this post is off. Our options are either: A) Play the chiefs (with CLE/HOU going to Baltimore) B) Play CLE/HOU (with MIA going to BAL) I think the easiest round 2 game for us is Hou (MIA win), but by far the best chance of Superbowl is KC win. Give CLE (hopefully) a shot at taking out Bal. The only way we play Miami again is if they beat both KC and BAL on the road. It doesn't look likely to happen.

People are somehow missing how dominating we were on O and D all game. We thrashed them in yards, first downs, 3rd down conv, top, and pretty much every stat ever made. Sloppy, which needs to stop, but a strong performance overall.
