lol, McBeane needs to win a Super Bowl first, and then let's see what happens. I suspect all Bills fans would be so deliriously happy that all past faults that we find in each other or in the management of this team, will be forgiven. still, the elephant in the room is the actual winning of the Super Bowl, lol. Beane has never produced a playoff roster that was loaded like the Eagles. And McDermott has never coached up a playoff roster to play beyond its talent level, particular on defense (his specialty) where the Bills D tends to go in the opposite direction and underachieve or implode against the top QBs.

One of the reasons I'm not quite as upset by the loss to the Chiefs as I should be is because the Eagles are sooooo much more talented than the Bills (outside of QB), it's ridiculous. An Eagles-Bills Super Bowl wouldn't have looked all that different from Eagles-Redskins in the NFC championship game. Howie Roseman has embarrassed McBeane by comparison with Roseman's ability to collect talent. McBeane need to go, or they need to improve a lot.

Josh could end the McDermott era any time he wants to, and yet McDermott persists.

I'm oddly confident about KC but think the Eagles outclass us in the SB with their roster talent (outside of QB, of course). We just haven't caught any breaks at all in our path. Balt-@KC-Phily was the hardest possible path. I think the year Josh and the Bills finally win the SB, we'll have better path luck.

Safety no, haha

It's going to be a 50/50 game like most of the others. Comes down to McDermott making good in-game coaching decisions in clutch situations. If you believe he's turned a new leaf there, then you should be more confident. If not, then no.

Elevate Brady to head coach. Keep McDermott as Motivation Coordinator.

We can't win against the hardest possible path: Ravens - at Chiefs - Eagles But the defense can probably come up big once. That means we'll need help from other teams to clear the path. In my dream scenario, the Chargers take out both the Ravens and Chiefs for us, then succumb to use in the ACCCG. On the NFC side, Minnesota emerges so we can have the 0-4 Bowl.

Denver will be the 7 seed. They just need to win against a KC team resting their starters next week.

We should be rooting for the Chiefs to beat the Steelers on Christmas, thus eliminating the Bills from 1-seed "contention" and allowing us to rest as many players as we want in Week 18. The 14-1 Chiefs are not going to all of a sudden go 0-2 against mediocre teams with the 1 seed on the line. That's not even pot or cocaine thinking, it's LSD. The Chiefs will get the 1-seed and the bye and the best way to combat that is for the Bills to get our own de facto bye in Week 18.

Too satisfied with themselves speech after winning the division.

we have a better QB than the Lions and Ravens. I just can't find myself rooting for those two to get knocked out.

Probably not, especially if you factor in "when close to fully healthy," BUT if we get the #1 seed, we'll have the best chance of any team in this era of winning the Super Bowl entering the playoffs. You could make a separate case that this is the best Allen we've ever had and that Joe Brady's penchant for playing smallball with quick passes and rushing the football buoys Allen's efficiency so that we are better at winning regular season games and thus have a better shot at a #1 seed.

For the cake trick, I for sure would not taste that cake. The black stuff is not chocolate or cake. "Mickey" was not a very complex shape with one big circle and two small circles. (Oz is a rich man can afford better props than typical magicians, but this trick has been around for awhile.) For the 8850 trick, Josh and his center were in on the trick.

Re: Badolbilz and the WRs No mea culpa needed yet. It's definitely fair for him to say to wait for Jan/Feb. What really matters is playoff football, and D-coordinators do make adjustments over the course of the season. Frankly, because it's only been 3 games, I think it's still more likely than not that Badolbilz will end up looking more right than wrong re: the WRs. However, I would say it's past due for Badolbilz to admit that firing Ken Dorsey and putting in Joe Brady was an upgrade, despite Dorsey being a former Cane. It's not waaay past due yet, but the milk is starting to emit a funky smell. (And here we do have at least some small sample playoff data. Under Dorsey, the Bills put up 10 points at home in an embarrassing loss to the Bengals. While Brady lost to the Chiefs, his offense went up and down the field on KC all game but was let down by the defense.)
