Right now the D isn’t playing well enough to compete for a SB. Thankfully the playoffs don’t start next week. The important thing is to be injury free and playing well when the playoffs start. We’ll see if that happens.

WC Bills host WC Chiefs in AFC Championship to close out Highmark.

Yeah, maybe. Hard to tell.

Yeah, he was so wide open it’s hard to tell. Might have been Taron’s guy, maybe Bishop who ended up following the TE who looked like he ended up being doubled.

I just watched that replay 3 times. That was absolutely not a hold. The OL dives down to cut the legs and Anderson just pushes his back down into the ground. He doesn’t hold him at all. What a horrible call.

You might want to check out the guy who is supposed to funnel that back inside Bosa.

Both TDs Bosa crashes inside. He might be the worse edge setting DE the league’s

Him not acting like a professional and doing every little thing possible to elevate his play probably has something to do with him not playing well.

Would have if I could have. I think a few of us had already used them.

Thing that irritates me the most about today isn’t the play of the team (though it does irritate me). It’s the decisions at the end of the 2nd quarter to just go until halftime and the one just now to let 30 seconds tock off the clock to end the 3rd. They act like time doesn’t matter down 16.

Coleman’s main issues are absolutely fixable. Speed isn’t his problem- separation is and those aren’t the same things. He STRUGGLES to get off press. That’s not speed, that’s technique. He struggles to get separation at the top of his stem…again, technique, not speed. He can absolutely learn how to get CBs hands off him at the LoS and sink his hips and have less wasted movement on his breaks. He can also learn how to use his hands at the catch point to create late separation. There are plenty of WRs without top end speed who do these things. Now, that being said I hated the pick and he was the last guy I wanted the Bills to target because he was as a project and it was going to take years for him to become what the Bills needed, if he ever did. And here we are. The guy could immediately be a more productive player if they put him in the slot but again, this is why I didn’t want them to draft him - we’re loaded with slot players.

He’s not crappy, he’s elite, despite what the OP is suggesting. His biggest problem is his availability. Burrow has now missed as many games as Tua due to injury. He will surpass him this weekend. That said, Burrow has got a lot of mileage out of that Super Bowl run and it’s undeserved. The D CARRIED them to the SB. They caused 9 turnovers that post-season and allowed an average of 20ppg. And those turnovers came in big spots, late in games. The Burrow led offense only put up 23ppg despite the great field position that the D continuously gave them. Bottom line is there are lots of things to point to that -legitimately- make the case for Burrow being elite. However, a SB appearance (where the Bengals won the turnover battle and only allowed 23 points yet still lost) isn’t one of them.

Yeah, it annoys me that there are 272 games in an NFL season and the pundits believe only one of them doesn’t matter. When the Bills beat the Chiefs. Hell, I guess it only matters if the Bills lose. Then it would tell us something. They trot out the same line on every show “until the Bills beat the Chiefs in the playoffs it doesn’t matter.” It’s like they don’t realize that NONE of these regular season games have a direct impact on who will win in the playoffs. Why bother covering the regular season at all? Just show up and cover the playoffs. It’s lazy. Just break the game down like you do every other game. Kudos to the Athletic Football Pod for doing exactly this. One of the many reasons it’s - easily - the best national show out there.

He time out usage might be the worst in the league. Always in defense and usually because there’s confusion or the call didn’t get in on time. I don’t remember the last time the offense had 3 TOs to use at the end of a half.

I forgot we’re living in a post-truth world. Next time I’ll just believe whatever someone posts and not check to see if it’s true.
