We had the #1 DVOA in the NFL in 2022 This year, we have the 4th rated DVOA and we beat a Chiefs team before they hit playoff stride, as we have multiple times in the past and a Lions team that was so decimated by injury on defense that they nearly allowed a 40 banger to Brock Purdy the following week. Those wins are solid wins, but to position them as reasons we are somehow different than 2022, a year which we actually dominated by a larger margin is just pure Bills fan folly. Hilariously inaccurate and misguided.

Nothing based on anything real exists to support this statement

I'm calling time out on this thread

That's what I felt when I bet against in the Bengals game. Not worth it. Regular season, I wouldn't have an issue.

It looks like this will be the first time the Bills aren't favored at home since November 8th, 2020. So interesting set up for that along with a lot of other reasons. I bet against them in the Bengals playoff game. It isn't worth it my opinion. These games a pretty special. Either a bet on them or leave it alone in my opinion.

He had a bottom rated offense in the league 24th and 21st in points and yards in 2020 29th and 30th in 2021 (when he was scapegoated 🤣) So I know "pumped out 1k WR's" sounds sexy and all. But his performance wasn't.

I think Murray is a coach killer. Hell, probably more like a franchise killer.

He has been successful with the greatest offensive talent in college football history at LSU and a Bills team with one of its best offensive lines in history, a Pro Bowl RB and a Hall of Fame QB. He failed in Carolina with a low talent level. His route structures are very basic and Josh has created an absolutely insane amount of off schedule plays this year it’s hard to even know what it looks like without him. I prefer to retain him for continuity and I love how he has gotten Josh away from the three point offense Dorsey had. But I don’t see some mastermind, and in my opinion, if he leaves he will have a very similar fate as Daboll.

This team was one win away from the #1 seed

Daboll 2.0 which is fine, Daboll was competent. But again, people underestimating what Allen does for the OC. Look at the play to Ty Johnson. That’s the difference between us pulling away and being in a dog fight.

Yup, he has to be the winner.

You lost me here, then really lost me at the end

Chris Kelsey and Terrance McGee both had 10 years while Schobel had 9. This would be the tops for anybody we drafted. I don't think any FA's or UDFA's would beat these totals. Kyle Williams would be the winner if it wasn't for his final season.

Thank god Josh hit, can you imagine if they missed, picked the wrong Josh, and had to deal with an owner who called his shot on one of the all timers while the "pro's" traded the pick. Talk about never living it down.

We know Pegula like Mahomes a lot. That's about it. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article295355694.html The failure rate on Allens profile was higher than a normal QB or normal draft pick. That is the point I'm making. If he showed some grit isn't really up for debate. He was obviously impressive in a lot of other ways.

I was least interested in Lamar followed by Allen....lol I wasn't one of these people saying they had no chance, but at the time QB's with Lamar's history of running in college or Allen's completion % did not have success in the NFL. We have seen a shift in the way QB is played since that time. If you think about Brady or Montana etc, that is how QB's played historically. It was precision, decision making, accuracy. Sort of what Burrow does. Anything outside of that mode really didn't work. Mahomes started to change that a bit, then Allen and Jackson just destroyed it all together. To the extent that more QB's are modeled off them nowadays than the traditional guys. I know people liked to slam the pundits who said Josh wouldn't make it, but to do so he had to overcome so many things. To say our decision to draft him working out didn't involve a huge risk, it did. None of them are a sure thing, but Josh had to overcome so much even at the stage he was in at that time to get to who he is today. It was a borderline bad decision to select him from a probability stand point but in the end he will end up being the most impactful draft pick in our franchises history. I'm just glad we have him.

Perfect, red uniforms I hope?

A Bills fan was wearing it, no shirt underneath. Well fed gentleman. I guess he asked for Nate’s jacket before the KC game and Nate said he would give it to him if they win. Sure enough….it was rather hilarious seeing him wear it randomly in the stands.

Wild card round is sort of meh. Skyler Thompson, Mason Rudolph, Bo Nix, they’re good wins, but look at how the better teams have done this year? Just destroyed the away teams. I don’t think the NFL has more than 3-4 high level playoff teams. Those come in the divisional round or later unless you’re the #1 seed, then sometimes it’s not until the conference championship game. We have one of those wins, vs Baltimore. But that’s what we have. Next week is a great opportunity to shed a lot of demons for McD and this franchise. Anybody who thinks the Bills fans who have been critical of McD aren’t fully united in wanting to eat humble pie just don’t get it. We all want this one. If you don’t you’re a sick individual.

Dumb

KC won last year 17-10, and they scored a total of 39 against the Eagles and Chiefs this year. They aren’t unstoppable if you have Super Bowl aspirations

No, the defense cant’t be the primary reason we lose. Thats all. No speed racing. No domination.

We played well, but this is like the regular season victory laps. I will gladly repent and honor the church of Sean if they do it next week.

Shakir looks like somebody dropped hot coal in his pants
