And averaged more than 10 yards per attempt, and picked up god-knows how many first downs with his legs. Absolutely unprecedented and probably will never be duplicated, except by Josh Allen.

Understood, and I don't think you fire McDermott unless you've already identified his replacement and are convinced it's an upgrade.

Exactly...you build on your greatest strength. Going into the offseason, you know that, with Josh Allen at QB, you are going to be able to get a huge return from a game-breaking receiver that you draft, unlike in 2014 when we gave up a a ton of assets to pair Sammy Watkins with EJ Manual. Fortunately, there are a lot of those types of players coming out of college these days. We also need another TE, by the way.

I'm not sure about that. As long as Josh Allen is around, Buffalo will be hire the best available candidate in any given year.

You're confused. Josh Allen is far more responsible for that than McDermott. If Beane had not drafted Josh Allen, we'd be the Jets, or at best the Dolphins, right now.

A coach who misses the playoffs with a healthy Josh Allen should probably be fired immediately, absent extenuating circumstances.

And how many years will it be ok for poor coaching to keep us from reaching and winning a Super Bowl? This was an absolutely perfect opportunity for us to win it. No one has any idea how many other opportunities like this we will have...what happened last night was inexcusable and unacceptable.

No, but I’m starting to wonder how many other coaches might be able to reach the Super Bowl with Josh Allen in his prime, on a cheap contract…

That’s fine, but you can’t deny that major coaching blunders in the last 13 seconds cost us that game…there’s just no hiding from that fact…

Anyone think the Chiefs aren’t winning it all this year?

Yeah, as a Titan fan, it must be crushing to know you just wasted another year of Ryan Tannehill’s prime…

And Ward was out of the game for a long stretch after Josh trucked him…

The blueprint for beating the Chiefs is out there…I assume McDermott and Frazier didn’t bother to watch the Super Bowl last year…

Don’t worry, John. We aren’t trading down. I don’t think Beane’s ever done it and he certainly won’t this year.

I didn’t say fire him, but if we lose to KC in the playoffs again next year, it will be time to wonder if he’s the right guy to get us a championship trophy, which has to be the goal. After the way this game ended, it’s entirely fair to ask some tough questions…

I’m going to build around my cornerstone, Josh Allen, and make sure he’s got the weapons to make us the best offense in the league. Then I’ll worry about my defense.

So a Marvin Lewis-type record (with a Hall of Fame quarterback) is cool with you?

He’s probably more of a Marvin Lewis…Bills fans are happy with just making the playoffs…

So what didn’t work last year will work this year? Please explain…

He doesn’t play like it.

Nope. We need another TE, a speed WR or two, and probably another interior lineman. No more defensive JAGs with our top picks…

Yep, we had a clear path to the Lombardi this year. I don’t think we’ll ever have an easier path.

You mean like the last two drafts? NFW…

Allen’s much more talented than Kelly was. If he doesn’t win multiple Lombardis then there’s been a management failure of colossal proportions.

Did we play a single good QB this year, other than Brady and Mahomes? I can’t think of one. That’s why we had the “number 1 defense”.
