Ethan in Cleveland

Yes after an amazing year, no doubt it wil be easy to make multiple SuperBowls in the future. Dan Marino

Rams would have been tough but the Bills have more weapons on offense. All Daboll would need to do is keep Singletary or Moss in to help block Donald. Dawkins can handle Miller most of the time 1:1. Dawkins was playing an an all-time level down the stretch. Best he has looked in three years after coming back from COVID. Rams are not nearly as dynamic as KC. Bills pass rush probably gets Stafford on the ground unlike letting Mahommes get free.

Lol...they played ***** offenses all season long Stats say the pass rush was better but with Hughes and Addison like gone, I 100% agree. Keep addressing the pass rush. Would favor bringing in a veteran at DE to go along with the 3 young guys.

McDermott heavy zone scheme will be helpful as White works himself back to 100%. Elite speed and man to man coverage are not his key skills. He holds up fine in man to man but he excels in short and middle zones and rarely gets beat deep( exception was almost giving up that long TD in Baltimore playoff game where Hunley missed wide open WR)

White is a very good corner but he is not an elite CB. Only way he makes HOF is if he moves to safety and plays another decade. No doubt he makes a difference in that game. But just about any corner in the league has the sped to stay with Kelce. Had Wallace simply not given him that ridiculous cushion he would not have been so wide open. I suspect he was coached to lone up like that. The whole defense was playing to prevent a TD not to stop them from getting precious yards.

Don't give these GMs any credit. There are plenty of morons out there. Seattle has a good one and he gave up two first round picks for a safety that is terrible in pass coverage. Beane could get a first and 3rd for Edmunds easily or an elite OL.

They passed on Mahommes in 2017. Maybe the fans were right?

13 seconds to stop a FG attempt. McDermott cost us a SB title Stop overthinking it. He blew it. All his dumb ass comments about process and in the biggest moment he cost us a title.

Huh??? Philly won a SB without Reid before Reid won his in KC. Seemed to work out well for both

You are very likely correct. I was posting what I would do. Not predicting what they will do. If as you say a move to DE is hopeless, I would trade him for another player or a draft pick. I have seen enough of him in a Bills uniform. I don't want him playing MLB for the Bills. He has value and there will be a team that will trade for him. Teams make dumb decisions all the time. Seattle gave up two first round picks for a safety that can't cover. What do I think will happen? I think Beane makes the dumb decision to sign him to an extension and it will be an albatross around the neck of the defense for the next 5 years. I don't even like Oliver that much but I would favor extending him over Edmunds.

Allen will need to transform himself like Elway did if he is to last into his late 30s. He did a little of that this season saving his running for the playoffs.

OP nice work. Beane will need to make choices. He has wasted millions of dollars on FA DL and I just can't see him making that same mistake again. He got younger at DE and between Rousseau and Basham along with Hughes they have a solid nucleus. This team played great when the OL played better. The Chiefs spent heavily on the OL and Beane needs to do the same. I've posted many times I like Wallace at CB#2 (even after that last play). They could do a lot worse than Wallace opposite White. But I'm drafting another DB in the second round. 1. Bring back Wallace, H. Phillips, Trubisky. Try to bring back Hughes and Neal on vet minimum deals. Keep Beasley. 2. Cut Star, Williams, Gilliam, and Matakevich 3. Agree on letting everyone else walk. 4. Move Edmunds to DE 5. Spend FA dollars on an elite guard and Zach Ertz 6. Trade out of the first round and get an extra second round and fourth in 2022 and a 3rd in 2023. Draft value chart Pick 25 = 720 pts Mid to high 2nd is 450-550, mid to high fourth is 100, and 3rd next year is another 100 or so. The value lines up reasonably well. 7. Use Epenesa in the draft to move up from the third to the second round - this gives them 3 second round picks, and two fourth rounders and rids them of Epenesa 8. Draft in no particular order - C/G, NT, CB, DE, MLB, S, WR. 9. Try to snag a relatively cheap veteran DB and DE 10. If Trubisky signs elsewhere, then target Fitz or just draft a developmental QB in the mid-rounds to hold the clipboard. If Allen gets hurt for multiple games the season is lost anyways.

Why did you think Mahommes was classless? Honest question. I've not heard anything bad about him.

Outcoached in both games. Simple as that. When it mattered most Levy and McDermott let us all down. Thurman showed up in XXV and Allen did yesterday. The guys that don't play cost the Bills and Buffalo two championships

Why? What has he shown to deserve a shot? Not that I trust this team to evaluate talent, but what have you seen in practice or pre-season to warrant him getting a look? People made the same wishes for Sweeney and he is terrible.

Did you see the 2pt conversion catch? He was doubled the whole game. Opened it up for everyone else.

Too soon. There are far too many directions this team can go in free agency to think of what they may do in the draft.

I thought squib but ultimately as I said in another post I was fine kicking it in the endzone. I dont want a bunch of special teams backups deciding the outcome of that game. I would rather put my defense out there to prevent them from getting in FG range as opposed to a bunch of guys that are roster bottom feeders going against world class speed.

Im trying to be kind. Just because you say the same thing four times doesn't make it any less of a worse take on what happened. Allen won the game twice. The defense lost it. Unless you advocate for Allen taking a knee and then scoring with no time on the clock there is literally nothing else Allen could have done to win that game. He is a winner. McDermott is a loser. Judging QBs by win loss record is just incredibly stupid. By every category Marino was better than Kelly but Marino did not have Thurman and Bruce. Its a team sport and Allen's team and coaching staff lost the game.

Josh won the game. Defense and McDermott lost it. What else do you want Allen to do? He can't be a winner if his dumb coach can't defend for 13 *****ijg seconds.

Who is doubting Allen???? Many of us doubt McDermott and he sadly proved us right.

That is true for DT. Not true for DE. They can produce early. AJE did not develop and looks like a bust in year two. Rousseau flashed enough that there is some hope. No idea why Basham sat all those games earlier in the year. 2nd round picks need to produce right away. What a shame when they could have had Humphrey. And that is not revisionist history. Many of us on this board were screaming for Humphrey in the second round. Remember this is the same GM that overpaid for Trent Murphy and same coaching staff that kept playing him.

The OL was a problem until McDumbass was forced to play Bates at guard. Why did it take 14 games to figure that out? Why was Moss getting more carries than Singletary until late in the season. Why is the starting all-pro guard on the Browns and not the Bills. Why was Davis and McKenzie criminally underused? Why did they not bring in a veteran when White went down? Jackson was so bad in training camp he barely made the final roster. Why does McKenzie or Brieda get benched for a fumble like it is HS, but Edmunds sucks all year and never is sat down.

In the moment and even now I'm ok with kicking deep. I hate special teams and I do not want a bunch of backups on the field determining the outcome of the game. Yes if a high short kick to the 5 was covered it would have burned more clock. I'm not going to criticize McD for that decision. It was the choices to rush four and defend against a TD instead of dropping 9 into coverage to prevent the yards. He called timeout twice and still Kelce gets a free release. McD lost us a chance at a championship. For many of us it was our biggest worry going into this year.

Good take. There is no one solution. Steelers and Ravens stick with their guy. Bears fired Jauron and Lovie Smith both with winning records if memory serves and they have never recovered. Eagles moved on from Reid and won a SB a few years later. Obviously Tampa and Dungy/Gruden is the most extreme example of making a change that worked out. It is so odd. Had they lost by 10 and McD never had to coach those last 13 seconds you probably just chalk it up to KC being better and maybe a change needs to be made at DC. However when you are winning because your superstar QB made amazing plays, and you call timeouts to prepare and you still manage to screw it up by defending against a TD and the boundaries he deserves criticism. Like I said there is zero chance he is not coming back as HC. Hope he doesn't melt in the moment again.
