Nah just two crummy teams playing crummy ball.

What

The offense stinks. Paid a QB a quarter of a billion to be a running team. May as well go get Tannehill.

Compared to the OP's claim that Derrick Henry was the missing link for the 2024 Bills, my post should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Looks like the 4 division winners, ultimately very close to how the seeding will end up if you swap Baltimore and KC The Bills being the 4th division winner and losing in the WC round in a blowout loss to the best bad team or the worst good team would be very on brand.

We've struggled horrifically against the only good teams we have played this season. We have looked very good against the 27th ranked defense Cardinals, the 32nd ranked offense Dolphins and the 31st ranked defense Jags who are collectively 5-12 on the season. That's a picking top 5 in the draft record. Hang the banner!

We are. We are averaging 15 PPG and 130 passing yards in our last 2 games. With a great RB. Another old good RB ain't changing that.

Does he play WR? Too soon? Congrats man!

We are struggling to win in September and October, I don't think the missing piece is "grinding out tough yards in cold weather."

Chiefs' offense isn't good and hasn't been for awhile.

he was online 8 hrs ago. think he may just be on a lil vacay

think Niners say no tbh.

????? He's the 15th TE in yards. He has 6 more yards than Zach Ertz lol

Correct. They could get some league average QB to run this offense. @GoBills808 is that Brock Purdy's music?

Man, we just keep agreeing. Does this mean I'm getting tapped as the next new mod?

You have to learn to laugh because the alternative is to cry.

10/10 full marks. Fire everyone, get the best offensive mind on the market with a GM who wants to protect our boy, draft some OL, draft some weapons, and run a "run defense is for losers" defensive scheme. @HappyDays what's really really really funny is that the Bills and the Chiefs have been so different in process and strategy and have still switched places. After 2021, the Bills tried to build up the defense to win games like the 2023/2024 Chiefs. The post-2021 Chiefs have poured resources in receiver to replace the gigantic offensive hole of Tyreek and have ended up the exact team the Bills were trying to build with greater success. Football is full of these little ironies.

You know the concussion protocol is largely in place to protect players from themselves, right? Like to take it out of their hands if they want to play with a concussion or not? Do you think Tua was screaming, "I have a concussion, I don't want to go back out there?" when he had his weird "back" injury that was so so so so obviously a concussion in hindsight? I don't. I think he said, "I'm good to play." I guess it would be a CRAZY CONSPIRACY to think the toughest QB in football would say some nonsense about his chest/ankle (wild coincidence to have two different injuries so low in your body after smashing your head in the turf) so he could keep playing. I wish I had as much faith in the process as you did. It's not like we haven't seen it fail before.

I am agreeing with you guys lol. What I am saying is that for this iteration of the Bills to work better than the Chiefs (who again, have only been MIDDLING), we needed 2/3 things Brady being a better coach than Reid. Allen playing better ball than Mahomes. Overall offensive talent better than the Chiefs. We all know #3 wasn't possible with this group, this offense is slop. #2 is honestly happening, prior to the Texans game, I think Allen was clearly better than Mahomes this season. And #1 is honestly also not possible. Reid is the best. To @HappyDays point, the Chiefs are also winning more games largely because their defense went dominant. We have a crappier offense AND a crappier defense. It was a predictable losing formula. However, it's easier to say "hire an elite offensive coach," than it is to do it. Ben Johnson looks the part now. I don't know if he's better than Andy. It is easy to say "get better players than Mack Hollins." Extremely easy. Bare minimum easy. So easy, we spent all offseason talking about it.

Meh, who dares wins. Their QB is probably their most "dependent" piece in that offense. I don't feel like they are gonna be "contenders" for the next 4 years regardless of what they do, Goff is gonna be 30 tomorrow. Do you think they have several more years of deep runs? I feel like I see them sorta like that Cousins Vikings team that was a perennial "good but not good enough" team. Another star wideout gives them injury insurance as well. As of right now, they are a twisted ankle out of St. Brown to be in serious trouble. The Rams took their shot in a weak NFC and have had some down years comparably, but the ring lives forever. I agree, you are sacrificing the future. And that's scary. But that's the game lol.

I don't know. But feels like the NFC is wide-open right now, no? Niners look the most vulnerable in a while. Eagles are hit and miss still. Bucs are good, Packers are good, Vikings have Darnold, Bears have a rookie. If you are trying to make a deep run in the conference, a splash right now makes sense. ASB in the slot with Adams and Jamo out wide, LaPorta and the tag team combo at RB? That may be the best offense in the conference.

The greatest offensive coach in NFL history with one of the greatest QBs in NFL history has had a middling offense for 2 seasons straight. Its the talent.

The team is really talentless from top to bottom. You can squeeze a little bit out of the Cam Lewis' and Jamarcus Ingram's of the world but there's a reason those guys are barely in the NFL. When your best safety is Damar Hamlin, your safeties suck. And when your safeties suck at executing basic tasks, i.e. taking run angles, you aren't gonna trust them to do anything exotic. McD has shown he can adjust mid-season schematically, he did it just last year with Poyer playing LB/S hybrid roles because he couldn't run anymore. But between injuries and crappy players, the defense really just kinda sucks.

Starts with really really bad talent. OC gets held back because he is asked to do more with less. QB starts to play worse because everything around them is worse Just so everyone is aware, the Chiefs currently have the 14th ranked offense in points scored. After having the 15th ranked offense last season. Is it because Any Reid can't coach offense? Obviously not. Is it because Mahomes is not one of the best QB's in the game? Obviously not. Is it because their offensive talent is kinda cheeks? Yup. Why would the Bills with Josh, Brady and the island of misfit players be immune from the same problem?

I don't know if this is possible, but the first thing I thought of when the Lions extended Montgomery was that they are in the "adding a player" market. I don't think final numbers have been released yet, but I imagine it lowered his cap number this year alone. Freeing up space for Davante or Cooper?
