The loonies are out in force today, I see.

Especially the morons talking about trading Allen and saying he’s not a leader - I mean when you see that stuff it really makes you question human intelligence and awareness.

Yes, exactly the folks to whom I’m referring.

I'll address the elephant in the room:

 

When do we fill in the Pit?

[paulmm3]

While I still give least valuable player awards to Bass, Diggs, and Sherfield - the more I think about it this morning I'm also going to give an LVP award to Mr. Invisible Ed Oliver. 

[Scott7975]

Need to make that catch Diggs.  I dunno what it was but you had problems for half the year.  This was your moment to shine.  Don't worry, Allen will shoulder the blame of this game for all the players that played like this.

Exactly.  If Josh would've just climbed the pocket 2 steps and let it rip, we're talking about possibly the game winning touchdown.  The throw to Shakir is absolutely the right read.

If Josh climbed the pocket, Jones would have had an easy sack.

It's hard to watch that Diggs play.

 

His 1st couple of years here, he just caught everything - or at least it seemed that way.  He was the one guy I always trusted to make the play.

 

I know he's been off, and he might be playing hurt - but if he catches that, I'm gonna bet this board is a different place today, and the media narratives are all pretty different about "underachieving" Allen.

Burrow's Manning.

The most important ability is availability.  Burrow is Fra Geeel Aaa

I mean, dude literally broke a leg. Can't hold that against him.

 

[Success]

How can anyone who watched the endless quest for a QB since Kelly suggest trading Allen?

 

That makes no sense, at all.  If Allen is "worse" than Mahomes and Burrow somehow, it ain't by much.  It's fantastic to have this kind of QB. It's quite likely that Josh Allen will go down as the best QB in Bills history - even 100 years from now.  He's amazing.

Except the ones KC won are all the ones that mattered. Bills fans gotta stop propping up regular season wins over KC going forward. Gotta get ‘em in the playoffs. 

Expand  

 

Need to build the team and have the right coaching plan that can then.  Aint going to do it with players that don't show up and a roster with Sherfield and Harty and Diggs dropping must have footballs.  Aint going to do it with a highly paid broken Von Miller, a bunch of scrubs on the back end, and a highly rested front 4 that cant do ***** when it matters.

The regular season win meant the game took place at Orchard Park rather than Arrowhead. I mean, not that it mattered but...

So even more humiliating. Nice.

Missed 20% of games due to injury so far in his career.  Leg in 2020 and wrist injury in 2023.  Just sayin’!

I'm worried my fiance won't marry me next month after seeing how I reacted to the end of the game last night.

Football just isn't worth that level of emotion.

 

 

[RunTheBall]

Marino nailed it with his list of what losing in the playoffs reveals about your team

 

1) No downfield WR threat

2) Special teams blunders

3) Disappearing defensive tackles (My opinion : Ed Oliver completely no shows in the playoffs. Disgusting effort on his part)

4) Too many defensive injuries

 

Game plan was good. Lack of explosive plays did us in.

 

Reid/Mahomes had a genius level gameplan to exploit our deficiencies due to injury.

McD tried Zone, tried man, tried 2 high, tried 1 high, tried blitzing. Reid/Mahomes picked apart every single combo. We just didn’t have the horses to slow them down.

I think most QBs who are average at best would likely have a good chance to put up better stats with all the level of talent  Burrow has had. Similar to the Brock Purdy type treatment.

 

I don't think Burrow is as good many believe he is.
