There may be an element of this, but he’s getting less stats under Brady than he did with Dorsey and it doesn’t seem to be a problem

I don’t really know why I do it either. I know that the game doesn’t really have an impact on my life. It’s just not very fun of days like these. I’m not really excited as I am nervous and worried for a loss. It makes it hard to enjoy these big games Look at the teams they beat on the road

I just wish there was some way I could enjoy these games. I’m so anxious and nervous now and of course, I’m dreading the possibility of a Bills loss and all of the narratives which people will weaponize. I guess if you’re a big sports fan, there’s nothing you can really do but let things unfold. But the anticipation is just killing me

He wasn’t as horrible as some make him out to be, but at the same time, the offense was very disjointed. There were times he called a lot of passing plays without giving Josh enough answers on offense for the defense he was facing. It seems like the Dorsey was all about big plays to Diggs or nothing. I also don’t think Dorsey used her personnel nearly as well as Brady does. So while Dorsey wasn’t a dumpster fire offense, the team needed a spark.

If he gets this job, he’s in a pretty safe situation. It’s an OC coordinator position but Stefanski is the one calling plays. In Buffalo he had to do everything. In Cleveland he’s be sharing a lot of duties with an offensive minded HC

I’m so pessimistic, man. I keep thinking that we’ll look back on tomorrow like we do with 13 seconds.

It could come down to the QB who turns the ball over less. Case in point Bills won a close game this season at +1 in turnover differential

This is a good point. Remember the takes in here when the Bills were 6-6 and weren’t going to make the playoffs. Everyone had predicted things would spiral downward because there was no way the Bills could beat KC, Dallas, and Miami. People took the annoying Ty Dunne narrative that 13 seconds was their the last chance. BS. Here were are 6 weeks later with another big opportunity. It just goes to show that you can’t predict the future. Unexpected things happen in football all of the time. Best we can do is to sit back and enjoy the ride and let the idiots on TV try to predict the future

Everyone seems to be roasting you for your opinion here but in a lot of ways you are correct. After the AFCCG and 13 seconds it was clear the Bills were built to beat the Chiefs. If fact the criticism from last season was that the Bills were too focused on KC and didn’t think of how they matched up with the rest of the teams in the conference (ie Cincinnati). Under Beane Buffalo have invested significant draft capital and resources in boosting a defensive line with the idea of pressuring with 4 and letting the rest play coverage. This is typically how you beat Mahomes, especially given his lack of weapons this season. Of course, a bruiser like Pacheco adds another wrinkle to the offense. But yeah if the Bills win the DL is going to be a part of that equation.

Joe Buscaglia is picking the Chiefs to win on a last second Butker field goal. He’s been wrong before. Hope that happens again

Injuries never help. But I think Johnson is the most important player on the list. If we can get Johnson back it’s big. If Barnard SOMEHOW is active, even better. I feel comfortably with the depth on the rest of the players who are out

So you’re basically just picking favorites? Doesn’t usually work out that but hopefully for the Bills it does!

I was watching Hard Knocks when Miami was cleaning out the lockers and thinking “man, I hope this doesn’t happen Sunday.” It’s been a crazy season but I’ve enjoyed it

Your eyes are fooling you…. I can’t only think of one play where he improvised and that was the third down pass to Diggs. He made something out of nothing. The rest of the time Josh seemed to be in control. I didn’t noticed this much during the game but Allen was blitzed on over 50% of his drop backs. He either got the ball out quick or took off and ran. This includes the 52 yd scramble and the Shakir TD - which wasn’t improvising as much as it was finding the hot read. It’s almost a certainty they bring back Brady. Also about the cheat motions…Brady ran a perfect one with Isabella in motion during the snap. He went around the RB attempting to catch a swing pass in the flat. Josh threw the ball low and out of reach. Is he catches that, it’s probably about an easy 20 yard gain.

I would hate this idea when you have younger coaches on the staff who probably would be great play callers. If they fail, McDermott could already take over.

Man even though it’s the Dolphins it was sad to see their season at the hands of the Chiefs. I sure as hell hope that doesn’t happen Sunday night. I’m convinced that Mike McDaniel is Rex Ryan. He wants to be the players best friend and he’s also a big talker (not as charismatic though). This is all good once your winning but when you lose, those motivational pep talks loses impact. It kind of seemed like Miami knew they were going into Arrowhead to lose.

It’s all guess work - my guess this was derived from the banged up bills guy which goes back to my original point about him.

That banged up Bills guy does a. Good job spotting injuries but he’s wrong a lot of the time when it comes to returns. In the past month, he said that DaQuan Jones wasn’t going to be activated when he was. He also predicted that Rasul and Dodson were playing last week. The week before vs. Miami, he said Waddle and Mostert were going to play. Nothing against him, but he’s just making educated guess like a lot of us are and missing a lot of important medical information. Of course he’s a PT, so he has a much more informed take than the average fan but his estimates are still guesses and far from certain.

That’s NFL officiating in general. I don’t think the crew is going to decide the game. Fans will complain about anything

We all know there’s no way they give Tua a competitive QB deal. My guess is that the hope is to sign him to a Daniel Jones type deal with the option for an out. It’s a commitment but not one that kills the franchise if it doesn’t work out. He shouldn’t sign that deal and his agent probably won’t let him.

BS fans make too big of a deal over referees. Just like Chiefs fans who assumed that Carl Cheffers meant they’d lose the SB. or when the Cowboys were undefeated with the crew that was assigned in Buffalo. Clearly that means a loss right!?!?

To be fair, he had a chance last week in Miami and didn’t do very much as a blocker or runner. He also didn’t help that much with Josh’s QB sneak. We all want to think of him as Playoff Lenny but he’s not that guy anymore

The one that scares me is Taron Johnson in CP. It’s the second time this season. IIRC, he exited protocol fairly early. Hopefully that happens again.

This is why I don’t understand the experts here saying that Elam was burned. He gave up one catch in coverage and had 1 holding penalty that he later negated with an INT.

Wow!
