Put all your net worth on "Josh Allen over 0.5 laterals in the playoffs" and thank me later. Thielen is not a slot guy. Just because you are a white WR doesn't mean you are Wes Welker.

I guess when I see "perennial contender" I think of a team that has a reasonable chance to compete for a Super Bowl. That was not the 2017 Bills. That was not the 2021 Patriots. That was not the 2019-2025 Steelers. The window for perennial contender is opened by a QB, not a head coach. Which is why despite McD/Tomlin and the greatest coach of all time, those teams weren't serious. The reason the Bills have a reasonable chance to compete for a Super Bowl, every year, since 2020, is because of the guy wearing 17. Give McD Mac Jones and semi-retired Cam Newton, and he can make some 8-9 win magic and get blown out in the WC round every once in a while for sure. Woo hoo.

???? Do you think he's a far better coach than Tomlin? Or Bill Belicheck? McD would be great for a crappy organization to become a serious team. But unless he can take Josh Allen with him, he isn't turning any team into a perennial contender. That's just not how it works.

the objectively correct answer. I like our chances vs anyone else in the AFC. If we fall short, so be it. I hate our chances vs KC. Any matchup vs them is an L. Even if we did the unthinkable and beat KC in the divisional round, the team would feel like they won the Superbowl and probably get boat raced the next week.

8th in NY/A passing and 31st in Y/A rushing.

Taron probably played his best game in 2 years imo. The Steelers were a wounded animal offensively, but credit where credit is due.

They did try.

You are so off base. we will beat like maybe 1 or both and drop the Browns or Jets game.

The Niners beat the 13-3 Packers completing 8 passes in the conference championship. you obviously want to be perfect but I reject the notion. Depending on the matchup in this years AFC, I could see us running over a playoff team or 2.

Its a Shanny system curse. Obviously KOC liked JJ, and Shanny liked Trey Lance. They can wring a lot of production out of physically limited, smart QBs. And then those QBs limitations demonstrate themselves, so they go hunting for the physically talented player to mold, and it can end up disastrous. Brock Purdy bailed out Kyle, but no one is bailing out KOC if McCarthy flames out. Kinda sucks for them honestly. Tough position.

2 firsts and Keon is my first phone call if I’m Beane in the offseason.

lol I wonder why it’s just those two guys. Maybe it’s because they are the only 2 worth a damn.

Oh look another run on first down lol

Like I stated. top 5 offense in points. top 3 offense in yards Worst receiving group in the NFL. Seems like it’s pretty advantageous when dealing with literal garbage at skill positions. Id rather start Stevie Johnson, Donald Jones and David Nelson. We are THAT BAD.

He is averaging 5.4 YPC on the year and is second in the NFL in rushing. Sounds like an overstated issue to me.
