He may feel that he has no choice. McD has fired/parted ways with a lot of coaches at this point. He cant keep doing it.

McDermott has always been consistent that their only goal is the Super Bowl. He has never wavered that the season is a failure without a SB. It’s only certain posters who believe that we had a successful season without a SB… even though the head coach says otherwise.

Same excuses as Gabe. We will see what the future unfolds but he has to get better and fast.

He has shown no ability to seperate, and he has trouble catching the ball in contested situations. Really bad combo. I was running the numbers for our receivers and I saw the same trend I saw with Gabe Davis. Allen was at his WORST when he targeted Gabe, and he is at his worst when he targets Coleman. Allen was only 50% completion percentage when throwing to Coleman this year. He was 76% throwing to Shakir, 67% throwing to Knox, 72% throwing to Ty, 67% to Samuel, 84% to Cook, etc. 50% to Coleman is insanely low.

Buffalo reporter’s are wimps.

I have been virtually begging Brady to run this play. It’s very hard to defend.

Thats okay. We can agree to disagree. Part of the beauty of life!

This is what I meant by my “playoff drought is better in some ways thread”. Would you have hope if you were a player?

In Philosophy-land, there is a large hill. It is approximately 500 feet in elevation, and the road leading up to it has a 60-degree incline. The ultimate goal of every Philosophy-land citizen is to eventually reach the top of the hill with their vehicle, where a special prize awaits. You are one of the “lucky” citizens, because you have already been awarded a vehicle. This means you get to attempt the climb. Unfortunately, you have tried to reach the top of the hill hundreds of times, and every single time, just as you get close to the top, your vehicle stalls out from a lack of power and rolls back down. At the bottom of the hill, there are others who have not yet been awarded a vehicle, so they cannot even attempt the climb. However, every spring, they get to put their names into a lottery for a chance to receive one. These people have hope. Hope that they will eventually be awarded a vehicle, and that the one they receive will be powerful enough to reach the top. The philosophical question of the day is: Who is in a better position? 1. The people at the bottom of the hill, who do not have a vehicle yet, but still have the opportunity to receive one that could possibly get them to the top. Or 2. The people who already have a vehicle, but after hundreds of attempts, have proven that theirs is incapable of making it up the hill. If your answer is that the people who already have a vehicle but have proven it cannot make it up the hill are in a better position than those who still have a chance at receiving one that could - hey, no problem! We simply disagree.

Here is a better source for you. I won’t even spam the board 3 times to give it to you

Just wait for the "grass cutting in the 1920s" thread. That comes closer to draft time.

No it's access to more and more viewers. No magic about it. The NFL has made expanding its audience a priority. That doesn't help your case. The NFL went through a 4 year viewership slump from Super Bowl 2018 to 2021. KC was in 2 of those 4 Super Bowls. No, it has nothing to do with that. The year before that had a SF with a massive market and it was 10 million lower than 2016. Rams/Bengals had a higher viewership than KC the year before. You dont have any idea what youre talking about, but I'm sure you will continue to reply and pretend like you do. I'll allow you to have the last word.

The SB has been steadily rising every 3 years for 50 years. 2000: 84 million 2003: 89 million (KC wasnt playing 2006: 93 million (KC wasnt playing) 2009: 106 million (KC wasnt playing 2013: 112 million (KC wasnt playing) Then in KC's Super Bowl against TB, it tanked: 95 million Next year with the Rams: bakc up to 99 million etc. Last years Super Bowl had 20 more million viewers than Cincinatti... but thats after a KC Super Bowl plummeted the viewership's by 5 million the year before! Cinci was higher than KC. Hate to break it to ya. Its not KC.

Bills-Dolphins playoffs two years ago ... with a 3rd string QB ... was the most watched wild-card on CBS in nearly a decade. It's the Bills. Bills-Steelers were the most watched wild-card game last year. It's the Bills They were the opposite of buzzy. They had limped into the playoffs losing 2 of their last 3 regular season games and were 8 point underdogs. It's the Bills. The Super Bowl keeps rising in numbers because of access to the game growing - its not the teams. It could have been Detroit - San Diego and it would have had 123 million. Whether its Bills-Dolphins, Bills-Steelers, Bills-Broncos, Bills-Ravens, or Bills-Chiefs ... the Bills consistently have the most watched or 2nd most watched playoff game of the entire round theyre playing in. It's the Bills.

Bills-Denver is a good matchup to you? How about Bills-Dolphins with a 3rd string backup QB? Its the Bills. Theyre the draw.

right… everyone needs 3 seperate tweets to clog up the board and reduce load times 🙄 They are not. The viewership numbers tell us that it is in fact the Bills. The Chiefs only have the most watched playoff game when the Bills are playing.

Kemp wouldn’t make it out of the wild card round in todays game.

Fitzpatrick commented today that the blitz Spags sent was “impossible” to block with a 5 man line. Which is what I said earlier - the play was doomed from the start. It didn’t matter if we slid protection right or not. Would it have bought Josh another half second? Sure. But even with that, the play was doomed because Spags knew what the play was and set the perfect defense for it. Brady went to the same well too many times.

The Bills-Chiefs AFCCG was the most watched AFCCG in the history of the NFL, at 57 million viewers. Unlike what some media outlets may lead you to believe, it’s not because of the Chiefs. The Bills are the main draw. - The Bills were the 2nd most-viewed game of the wild-card round (even against a mediocre Denver team) at 31.1 million. - The Bills were the most-viewed game of the divisional round at 42.2 million. - The Bills were the most-viewed game of the Championship round at 56.7 million. The common denominator is the Bills every time.

Not to mention, why would Pegula and other non-Chiefs owners be okay with it? Makes no sense. I think the refs are just bad at their job. I really have no explanation for not overturning that Worthy catch either. That ball hit the ground.

That’s what you got out of that press conference?

True. But that picture is the view the ref who spotted him short had. So how could he tell if this picture can’t? The ref who spotted us with the first down is the ref on the side of the field that’s staring at the ball. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy - I think it’s just a mistake.

New angle (from NFL Films). Yeah, Allen had that first down.

Again, it has nothing to do with the player. You just don’t do deals with your enemy. Ever. By virtue of KC taking our deal, it is common sense that our deal was the best offer. If another team had a better offer, they would have taken that offer instead. So: 1) Don’t do business with your enemy. 2) Make them take a worse offer with another team.
