I wanted the Lions to win but I think the 49ers have a better chance to beat the Chiefs.

Funny thing is if the Lions player doesn't touch it early, I think there's a chance it bounces off of the 49ers guy trying to catch it — those balls are tricky.

Pray for no injuries as we need the winner to be healthy for the Chiefs. I'm pulling for the Lions but I'll take a 49ers Super Bowl win if it means dethroning the Chiefs.

I hate the Chiefs but they are money in clutch situations. Let's hope whoever wins the NFC can win it all...

What an idiot Flowers, after a huge play.

Harbaugh better have one hell of a speech and new game plan for the second half...

Need a turnover...

Great stop. Hamilton is a beast.

HOLY *****!!!!!! JACKSON CATCHES HIS OWN PASS!

HUUUUUUUGE STOP!!!!!

Really need the Ravens to hold them to 3 this drive.

Wow. I hate KC but they are making clutch plays. They are a great team and better than the Bills right now (meaning the team we fielded, injuries included, last week).

Sorry, I meant to say the TEAM has not been great in clutch situations. That was not meant to say Allen has not been great in clutch situations.

Just before my time as a football fan. I started watching the NFL the year of the hockey strike in the 90s so a year or two removed from the Super Bowl years. Yes, that wound is worse than where we are. And though I wasn't a fan through it, I obviously know of it and it adds to the weight of my expectations.

It's a loser's consolation prize to be sure. But I'll take it. I can be a petty and spiteful man. I'm ashamed of it in my personal life (and try not to be like that) but I'll own up to it and nurture it when it comes to football.

Fair enough. I didn't watch their full regular season games, just some parts. But I'd love for them to lose badly in the post season. Don't expect it, but would relish it very, very much.

You got it. We've been a very good team with a great QB and our team has been very good in the regular season but not great in clutch playoff games. Yes, it beats the drought years, but the funny thing with expectations is the higher you set them the more disappointing it is not to make them. So, in a weird way losing in the playoffs hurts a lot more than not making them.

Great human story that he came back. But, like many, I don't think he should win this award for riding the pine as a backup. Classy comments from Flacco but I'd rather give it to him for actually helping his team win. Whatever. It's political and it's over.

When was the last time the Chiefs were humiliated? I'd really like to see that Sunday. On top of that, I want to see Kelce hit a wall very soon and stop making the game-changing plays he does. Then Taylor is simply left with a cro-mag. I'd love to see Pat drop in the QB rankings after Kelce fades. I know he'll still be top 5 but I hate the narrative that he could be the GOAT and the assumption that he's on a different level from everyone else. These are the things I'd love to see.

I'm not a religious person but I pray sometimes all the same and wish all the best for you and your family. Be well. We're all pulling for your guys. 🙏 ❤️

Also, this needs to be factored in: When you cut a guy, you have to replace him and his production. So let's Steph's prodcution is "only" worth $12 million at this point in his career. If we are already three million in the hole, signing a $12 million player to replace him means we're spending an extra $15 million to replace the production we would have had if we just kept him. So, it's not just about saving money — or even eating a bit extra because you really want a guy and his contract off your team — you have to factor in replacement costs too. That said, I'm possibly good if we do a post-June cut as @Mango said as we save a bunch this year and $5 million next. But even if we draft a stud #1 (no guarantees) are we gonna spend $8 or $10 or $12 million to find a capable number 2? Lots to consider.

I'll watch — and pray for a Ravens win. I can't stand the Chiefs and all the Mahomes butt-licking that goes on and will be amplified if he makes his fourth Superbowl.

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/greg-cosell-final-thoughts-on-bills-2023-season-offseason-needs Here is the video of the audio file the OP cited. 4:33 of the video: Greg Cosell: "Based on tape study, I don't think they truly have a number one and they certainly don't have a field stretcher. I think when you have Josh Allen you need to invest in your receiver corps.... Shakir's going to be a really good number 3 type, he's going to be really good for what he is but they need an alpha dog and they need speed. This offense is hamstrung in the pass game by what they're lacking. It shows up in almost every game."

Shakir can eat in the slot. Draft a traits guy in the 1st. Diggs is the 1A guy first half of the season and rookie is 1B. Second half, rookie (hopefully) gets more comfortable and rookies becomes 1A and an aging Steff settles as the 1B guy.

McBeane and Pegula want to win. There is no conspiracy behind this. But... McDermott has his philosophy on how to run a team and while I'm sure he works tirelessly but many of us don't believe he's got what it takes to consistently beat good teams in the playoffs. Pegula wants to win but I'm sure he's buying the narrative that were "so close and making progress" narrative. It's human nature to want to believe you're close to a goal rather than you need a substantive change. I for one hope McBeane brings us a championship in the next few years. But I'm not banking on it. I'd say they're both here three to four more years before Pegula fires Sean or both of them — if we don't at least make the Superbowl (I think making it and losing that final game will be enough to keep them longer). Firing Sean or both ain't happening next year but maybe two or three after if there's so Superbowl appearance. If that's the case, Josh will be 30 or 31 and still have a few elite years left but his 20s will be behind him.
