Shout-out to special teams in the loss. 4FGs (2 from over 50 yards), recovered an onside kick, and a punt return fumble at the 3. That unit played lights out. Missed xp was the only blemish.

The Bills were one of the worst teams in the league versus tight ends I had hoped that they would game plan for Kelce in particular, and figured that other players would kill us. In the end, no pocket pressure, and Kelce and Hill blew us up. I guess they stopped the run game? Even then they killed us on reverses.
What is disappointing is that they seemed reactive rather than proactive. At no stage did they force Kansas to do anything different than normal.

Beane is the harder guy to replace in that pair.
By a lot.
That's crazy talk.

KC didn’t run much up the middle. DT don’t cover the TE.
So you consider them successful if they can contain interior runs and not push the pocket? Wow low bar.
-
The interior D had to do better. The most expensive in the league? Didn't look like it I didn't hear Butler, Jefferson, or Oliver's name once.
The defense, didn't seem to have a plan for Kelce at all.

I really enjoyed the season. Every year under MCB there has been growth
KC dominated today. Disappointed that outside of special teams the Bills couldn't make a splash play. As such they really didn't deserve the win.

I hate that KC are picking up so many injuries. I need them to beat Brady.

Beasley was the only guy making plays for Josh tonight sadly. KC have been much better. I can live with it.

Td and 2 pointer and we're within one score. Alternatively fail on the 4th and it's likely game.
-
The OLine has allowed too much pressure tonight.

KC are playing great The Bills must raise their level They almost have to be perfect. Can't afford any more mistakes.

Lamar Super Fan, Josh Allen
It's great to see him say that. They really do have a lot in common. Both received almost insulting criticisms pre-draft. I was delighted to see them both get their first win. Whoever wins , I will be hoping they go all the way.

I'm surprised that you can watch enough college games in London to assess these guys. Are they on Sky or something?
Combing through late round players seems like a bit too much like hard work to me.
I find little nuggets from the draft networks to be interesting. This week I learned that Dylan Moses has been playing through a lot of pain, and that people close to Micah Parsons aren't sure if he's especially committed to football. Not sure if either are true, but these types of rumours have held water in the past with guys like Reuben Foster and Leighton Vander Esch.
I agree about the senior bowl being interesting. I really liked Onwenu last year and WR Godwin of Tampa a few years back.

Edmunds and Milano have elite sideline to sideline speed. This defense can definitely force Lamar to throw the ball to beat them.
Edmunds has elite straight line speed. The question then is can he read the run fits correctly. Milano reads the play better but is only a good athlete. They are in a great scheme and are made to look good, but I couldn't call either of them elite.

They never release the full schedule until all games are done with. Chiefs are going to get one of the later games guaranteed. That means the Bills will have one of the early games.
They just did.

Listening to the game today they where saying Tannehill felt he was snubbed for the Pro Bowl...well he had a chance to ball like Josh did yesterday against a team with just about the exact same defense metrics as the Colts only scored 13...maybe he was talking about Watson?
Yes I heard that. In fairness 40 total tds is very impressive. Those stats maybe more impressive than Watson's who got a lot of garbage time soft defenses when his team were already down by 40. Part of me thinks he had a fairly good case for probowl. But we all know that selection is a popularity contest. He probably thinks to himself that he is unlikely to have a better season.

Great play by him. On a related note, let's draft a new starting RT and put Williams at RG.
You wouldn't say that if you had seen him play at guard for Carolina.

Why is TE vacant? Surely Waller?

Potential moves that I see.
Cuts or Contract Reno's:
Star - though 2022 may be more likely
Morse - Injury history, out in 2021 w $10M+ savings
Addison - Out in 2021 w $10M+ savings
J Brown - $10M savings - odd man out?
Hughes - Out in 2021 w nearly $10M savings
Butler - Out in 2021 w nearly $8M savings
Jefferson - Out in 2021 w nearly $8M savings
Not Resigning
Murphy - Done deal
Kroft - Done deal
Nsekhe - Likely gone. May be back cheap.
Milano - Big ?. Dont think Bills offer a big contract but someone else may be willing to.
D Williams - Looking for big $?
McK - Crowded room.
Norman - Depends on $
Barkley - who knows
Yeldon - Gone
Resign
A Roberts - See him resigned
Feliciano - Q Spain like deal?
Winters - Cheap deal.
Boettger - Cheap deal
Free Agents - With cuts could have more $ than we think
Needs will likely be OL, TE, DL and always looking at DB's/LB's
CB - Des King, M Hilton
OL - Linsley (C), Mack (C), Moton (T)
TE - Everett, McDonald, Cook
Edge - V Miller, Griffen
LB - Hewitt
Draft
OL, LB, DL
The obvious cuts are D line since they are wildly overpaid in proportion to their production. But McD loves his DT rotation. I think Jefferson may be a casualty since his guaranteed money is mostly gone.

Some of these positions that you mention require continuity...You cannot just take a draft pick and put him there and hope everything remains same. I agree in principle your thoughts though. THe Bills should not fear about losing people in FA
In a perfect world I would keep them all.
I agree that continuity is important especially on the OLine. But with that in mind, remember Feliciano missed the first half of the season, and Williams hasnt even been here a year. Just as you can't promise an adequate replacement, who is to say you can't draft a really good player?
If we have a postseason run, their market will change, Williams becomes a $14 mill tackle, Feliciano a $7 mill guard.
Milano has the athletic traits of a 5th rounder. He works well in this system, but he is an average run defender who misses tackles in the open. He's best as a cover defender. You can get the same player in the 3rd or 4th in Pete Werner.
I get the attachment to the players. These guys have been fantastic for the Bills. I loved the story when Milano and Davis arranged for that kid to get the new blades. Their play has earned them the opportunity to score the biggest contract available and we should trust McB with the reload.

Take a look at the landscape.
https://www.footballdb.com/stats/qb-records.html
Now , I'm aware that many people aren't enamoured with QB win/loss as a stat, but it certainly tells an interesting story, Deshaun Watson despite stellar QB play (including the playoffs) can be overtaken by Josh this year, despite being consistently excellent since the start of his career.
Many of the QBs listed above Allen are in the twilight of their career. There are (by my reckoning) 8 active QBs who have won a superbowl. Of those, Foles and Flacco are reserves. Meanwhile, Brady, Roethlisberger, Brees, are diminished versions of themselves with very little time left. That leaves only 3 QBs who are proven with plenty of time left- Rodgers, Wilson and Mahomes.
In the tier I categorise as young and upcoming, I would put Allen, Watson, Prescott, Jackson. Viewed in that context and faced now with an opportunity to make a name for himself in the playoffs it's an exciting time.

Meanwhile Coach McDermott is up to a .594 win percentage. Anyone remember when he was dubbed Mc Clappy ? Oddly haven't heard that for a while.
The future looks bright and I shall enjoy checking in on their progress up these tables as time passes.
Go Bills.

I’m a huge fan of Edmunds but his stats this year put him nowhere near the pro bowl. I know he played through injury and is rounding back into form but he just doesn’t have the numbers for the pro bowl.
Happily I think guys like Tremaine and Josh are able to externalise fan and media 'feedback'. They work hard and improve themselves and the team. People who don't see that will always try to reconcile their stats versus their draft position.

I mean Nantz was trying to credit him as an author of Josh Allen's breakthrough. It was a bit too much. Although it is an awesome story and I'm so glad that those two old pros were willing and interested to sit down for a chat with Josh. I love that anecdote.
The story I thought was nice to hear was the one about McD putting a handwritten note in Bass' locker after that first game with the misses. Amidst the loss and all the knee jerk reactions I think it's possible that fans sometimes forget that player development is a thing and it happens on a curve. It's not just player bad = cut. Player good= ignore and wait for magic.
