Chaos

most depresssing super bowl ever. two hateable teams, and the bills should be playing.

The USAID scandal is the worst scandal in US political. People supporting the people who stole from the taxpayers simply reveal themselves as pure partisan political hacks.

then get a better head coach

Rams have been to the Super Bowl twice in the McDermott era, and had a team that beat the Bills this year, and fell just short of returning to the NFC championship game. Taking a serious shot, properly managed, does not mean crippling your team for the future. Rams ways has objectively been far more successful. And before blah blah blah NFC, Rams also did it with Jarrod Goff and Matthew Stafford, who are hardly Josh Allen

The crazy thing is, to my eyes, the offense has actually been held back from its full potential to try to cover up for the flaws in its defense.

Two things can be true at the same time. The Chiefs completely owned the Bills on that play and Kincaid should have caught the ball.

Yes, but Worthy limited. He is only going to be a superstar in playoff games against the Bills.

You keep pace with the other guys keeping for the one seed, or you don't. Bills definitely seem to think it is fine to blow off those early season games. Since this team has never won a road playoff game, you think they would fight harder to win every single week.

Chiefs really only lost one.

Allen needs a redo of his contract. Extending him is not a likely strategy.

He probably enjoyed the game. Able to tell his friends "told you so"

Its safe to conclude Allen has 10 more years. Mostly likely with the Bills, but I am no longer 100% certain he cares about retiring a Bill. He and his fiance are pretty connected to California.

I get frustrated when the Bills lose focus and drop a couple of winnable early season games, ensuring we go on the road. Not sure we sweat the details as well as the Chiefs do.

I agree with that observation. But the beginning of this discussion is whether or not it is a coaching issue or a personnel issue. This is the personnel set that overwhelmed us yesterday: Do you think the Chiefs would do worse against our defens, with our offensive personnel? Real question.

Josh will have to find solace in the hundreds of millions of dollars he will earn, his marriage to a beutiful woman, and the adoration of a a million people in western ny. He will find a way to work through it.

I agree with the sentiment. But would a torn PCL in the knee, make the turn back to the ball extra challenging? I have no idea personally.

Possibly the stupiest post in TBD history. And the competetion is fierce.

One of my children is a high school varsity basketball head coach. So I am shifting my emotional sports investment to high school basketball for the next couple months. As far as the Bills go, in the last off-season I maintained the Bills were a lock to win the division, and a lock to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs, and then we would see where we stand. I am making the same prediction for the 2025 season. We will find out about a year from now if we improved. Everything in between now and then, from free agency to the draft to the preseason to the regular season is just for fun. Won't show us much of anything.

It has seemed to me for some time that Coach McDermott wants to win "his way" with "his guys" and his is less interested in simply finding a way to win. this is not what I said. I said fourth best offensive set of personnel. This includes QB and linemen. that is a fair criticism.

Fairly even split so far 84/148 to move on 82/184 to stay the course. ( removed other from the numerator and denominator)

Allen gap to Goff is substantial. I think it beats out the other components. With the addition of Barkley, they Eagles may be stronger Ravens I think are only comparable, not better. Just not clear, I can the GM for having the fourth best offensive set of personnel. The problem clearly is on defense against top teams. I can't find a way to blame this on beane, unless someone confirms, that McDermott and Beane are not aligned on the prototype.

This is an absurd standard. It is like saying you can't know your steak is overcooked at a restaurant, unless you are willing to identify who you want to re-cook the steak. The defense has been bad in every chiefs playoff game. special teams have been awful in every single chiefs playoff game. Its fair for people to desire that something change, without identifying the specifics of the change. This seems to be the obvious gap. The defense works pretty well, when the front four can get pressure on their own. This works decently against poor olines, and teams without top QBs. But it seems to be well demonstrated that top QBs and olines are going to score more than 30 against the Bills on a regular basis. The bizzare thing to me is that the defense is clearly small but also seems to be slow.

I imagine Josh would tell McDermott face to face, and if McDermott declined, Josh would NOT go public with his request. And then we will be shocked when he signs the big FA agreement with San Francisco.

Well, I am not sure why we take cook out. If you take Henry out the Ravens, decline, if you Barkley out the Eagles decline. Which teams do you think have a better combo of Oline, QBing and Skill players. It is not clear to me, but it seems to be clear to you. I am willing to be convinced.

He is definitely coming back. This is a hypothetical discussion. I think he will have Jeff Fisher level longevity with the team.
