They Bills should have beat KC. They gave the game away in 13 seconds. Many think they had a great chance to go to the SB and win it. No one will really know. The team looked pretty unstoppable. The Bills had a great opportunity vs the Texans. They choked the game away. They Bills had a great opportunity vs a crappy Jags team. It was a winnable game. They were totally outclassed and outcoached in the first KC playoff game. Yes KC was better but the coaches game plan was terrible. They should have lost to an aging Philip Rivers led Indy team. The team was outcoached by a country mile. A 100 yard INT TD saved the day vs a Ravens team. Last year they were fortunate to beat Miami. The Cinci game was a disaster. During the Bills playoff run can you think of many instances where the coaching staff, game plan, and game time adjustments awed you? Where they were difference makers? Where is the progression in the playoffs? You can spin it any way you want. The fact remains the Bills are 4-5 under McD in the playoffs. It's the way they have lost that's the most disturbing. I feel that the coaching staff hasn't put the Bills in the best position to win games. Look at Fraizer as an example. Look at Dorsey last year. Look at McD for 13 seconds. How can a Bills fans not be disappointed by the Bills performance playoff performance under McD? Especially, the last two years. The typical response is McD is learning and will improve. Give him time to shine. Maybe maybe not. It's unknown. I have six years of data to support my doubts. What do McD supporters have to support their thesis or premise that McD can get it done? I suppose it's hope and time because it's might be data. Based on your rational the Bills are very unlikely to go to the SB this year. Why? KC and Cinci by almost all football fans are superior teams than Buffalo. Superior coaching staff too.

I see. I show some restraint and I still get a little jab. Nice.

I don't think there is a blueprint on success. It can be accomplished in many ways. Also, let's look at what we know. We know McD has "successfully failed" in the playoffs. Agree? Using Cowher and Reid as examples have no barring on how McD will do. Similarly, using Dungy or Lewis as an example has no indication of McD success or lack of. It cuts both ways. We have no idea how McD will do in the future. We know thus far he's been below average. Lastly, the Bills have Allen a generational QB. What did Reid and Tomlin do when they landed their franchise QB? What has McD done? Granted it's not all on McD...

You don't want to go there...

I'm not gonna beat a dead horse here. Been there done that with respect.

With respect, I think your mindset is flawed. " unnamed, hypothetical new staff." So many incorrect assumptions here. You act like the ownership is going to play pin the tail on the donkey and choose their coaching staff. There are several solid options available.

Diggs has shown via his past that winning isn't going to muzzle him. I think we all should be concerned.

"When you get there, it is a total crap shoot and all about matchups, player execution, and good health as to which teams ultimately win the SB." Partly true but definelty doesn't tell the whole story. Coaching, play calling, schemes, game time adjustments, etc.. all factor in as well. I'd ask you to take a hard look at the McD playoff games track record for his tenure as a Bill's HC.

You have no idea if a new staff would experience regression. This is a common assumption and thinking error. A new staff might propel the team to a SB win.

Being quiet is comfortable. Keeping things the way they've been is comfortable. And all comfort has done is maintain the status quo. Luvvie Ajayi

Change doesn't always mean progress, but the status quo isn't always the best result either. It is merely the most convenient. Harsha Bhogle I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it. Niccolo Machiavelli

Assuming the Bills fall short of their SB goals. You have to wonder if at some point Allen starts to get frustrated with the regime.

No not at all. I'm not advocating that. I'm saying I think Diggs is going to be a disgruntled player. That might lead to some issues.

I agree but I also think he's going to be a major distraction. Similar to the Minn situation. Hope I'm wrong.

Is constructive criticism considered whining?

Diggs has plenty of reason to be upset and disappointed. In the playoffs he's been schemed out of the games by the opposition defenses. It's been an issue for too long.

Agree. I just don't see this Diggs drama being squashed. It's likely to rear its head throughout this season. Diggs seems really stubborn and problematic when he's not happy. It got pretty nasty in Minnesota. Wondering how many guys will echo what Diggs is saying? Will it divide the locket room? Will McD lose some of the locker room. Will it create a riff between players and coaches? I wouldn't be surprised if things get ugly. I could be wrong and everything might be worked out. Winning will certainly help. Get you popcorn ready...

I'll correct the issue. It's reasonable to say the Bills "have to prove it" come playoff time.

I realize Fangio runs a different style of defense than Buffalo's. However, I was hoping the Bills would sign him despite the differences. I think Fangio is a really good D coordinator. I think he instantly makes the dolphin D better. I suspect the Bills have all they can handle with Miami this year. There doesn't seem to be a lot of separation between them. Still, I have to rate Buffalo slightly ahead of Miami.

Apology accepted. 👍

How about the Bills defense? Top rated D for several years. Best in the game. However, he's likely to take a back seat to McD this year.

I get that. I am a little more macro with my football interests. I like certain players and other teams. I do root for some other players and teams. Vice versa too.

Oh boy. I see you are in attack mode.I will gladly address you rude and unprofessional responses. Tua absolutely was out playing Allen for the first third of last year's season, has elite weapons, and a very good offensive minded coach. Chatter about him being the MVP. That alone makes the question at least semi acceptable. Did you even read where I said Allen is way better and gifted? Many Miami fans absolutely have rallied around Tua and likely think a healthy Tua is right there with Allen or very close. Did you even read where I said Allen is better by a wide margin? Of course, Allen is more physically gifted. However, any football fan knows the QB position is more than physical gifts. Look at Cam Newton and Joe Burrow for examples. Tua seems to have that it factor, leadership role, and players seem to up their game. Again all reasons why the questions isn't a "no brainer." Did I say I wanted Allen to be a dink and dunk QB? Not sure if you watch Bills games on a regular basis. There has been emmense talk about how Allen should utilize the whole field and take the easy short throws. Often he tries to make more difficult and longer passes to a fault. There is a lot of chatter about the Bills needing to implant more screen passes to Cook and other RBs. Any knowledgeable football fan knows using the whole field makes a dynamic offense. Making the easy short throws open up the longer deeper passes. Maybe you just can't grasp that concept? We all have a pretty good idea of what "hero ball" means. Like I mentioned early, do you watch Bills games regularly? It's been a pretty constant theme for years now that the Bills organization and coaches are overly reliant on Allen. Asking him to play superman is a term often used amoung fans, media, and football analyst. Playing superman clearly equates to playing hero ball. Not sure if you know who Tom Brady was. If not, maybe go back and look at the tape. Take a look at how he used the whole field, mad the easy throws, screen passes, and short quick slants. There were no chains on him. I'm not advocating chains for Allen. That's a figment of your imagination. Where did I say or advocate putting the chains on Allen? Would like to get some clarification on how you came to that ridiculous conclusion. Your incorrect assumptions only serve to make you look foolish, angry, uneducated, and shallow. Next time you call me out do your homework and don't make false allegations. It is what It is. Time to play some golf. Good grief.

Allen or Tua has a better season If both are healthy? Allen is by far more talented. I don't even think that's debatable. However, Tua has two elite WRs and a young offensive coach who looks to be solid. The team just seems greatly elevated when Tua is under center. The players seem to be all in on Tua. It shows on the field. It's not an outlandish question because Tua was putting up huge numbers when healthy. In fact, I believe there were mumbles of MVP. I think Tua can be very good in stretches but I'm not sure he can do it consistently for a season. Of course, injury concerns are through the roof. It will be interesting to see if Allen is asked to play hero ball again. Putting too much on his plate sort of speak. Will he take care of the ball? Take the underneath easy throws and checkdowns? Will Dorsey have good game plays and some unpredictability to his offense In the end, I'm predicting Allen is better in all facets than Tua. The talent edge is pretty wide. Frankly, the comparasions between Tua and Allen are kind of unwarranted. I guess that's what fans and football analyst do.
