And he’s only lost to Mahomes and Burrow in January.  
 

Blame him for 13 seconds.  
 

Blame him for the Bengals game.  
 

He gets credit for 2023 and if not for dam near every player on D getting hurt and being hampered with Von we were right there as the 2 seed in a 3 point loss vs the SB champs.

 

 

The great news is the Oline and running game looks revamped and ready for January.  
 

The bad news is we might need 2 safeties, 2 defensive ends, 2 DTs, and a WR.  

 

But the Chiefs replaced that whole 2021 defense on the fly.  I expect this team to as well.  

I don't give him credit for nearly botching our season and then figuring out how to get us back on track. This was a Super Bowl team according to most. 

 

Then having his defense allow almost 10 yards per play against KC. Our 2nd half adjustments got taken apart just as they did against KC earlier in the year. Spags is better. How could anybody say that isn't the case? Why should we give him credit for being bailed out because we had injuries? We had injuries. They sucked. Great job Sean.....

 

People who give him an award for this season are the same people that give him an award for being at the top of the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots mountain top. Great view that is.

Not until we improve our defense. It's not at the level of either these two teams yet. Defense still wins championships. See the Niners in OT.

I think the defense we had at the beginning of the season was certainly superbowl caliber. But they are aging and were just beat up at the end of the season.

We have a shot every year. That’s why you are watching some of the best years as a Bills fan.  Try to enjoy it without that loser mentality. 

 

Why shouldn't we have a loser mentality? This the town that celebrates Scott Norwood and chants his name after he blows our greatest opportunity to win a Super Bowl? The town who shows up to the airport to greet our losers after they lose.

 

So yes, we have a shot every year and we blow it. We bring in nice guys with feel good stories and the one scumbag we bring in (Von) ends up being a ***** bust. Josh is wonderful, amazing, but his coach is a loser who was fired by one of the all time great winners.

 

Perhaps if the team wants to get serious about winning, we start by replacing cute stories like Damar Hamlin with actual players who can contribute. Damar seems like a wonderful man and it's beautiful that he is still alive and breathing. But pay him to be a brand ambassador or something. Don't snap the ball to him in a critical playoff moment. And while we're at it, if Tre White is brought back at his current deal then this, even more than Hamlin, shows that this is not a team who is committed to winning. If there is ANY way he comes back he needs to take a MAJOR pay cut or they can send his ass packing. Sucks that he got hurt, but he's being paid top of the line money and honestly the only Tre White play I remember from '21, '22 or '23 is him giving up one of those inexplicable catches to Garrett Wilson in the Jets game that resulted in a TD. But surely, Sean and Brandon "really believe in Tre and he's making great strides and he's a big part of this team," which means a severely compromised Tre should be back on the field by November 2024 and should probably start playing at a reasonable level by October 2025.

 

And if a player shows you who he is, like Tyler Bass, cut him yesterday. He totally showed his ass this postseason. Looked like an absolutely amateur when trying to lock-up the Pittsburgh game, and the less said about his big KC kick, the better. He doesn't "deserve another chance." He was a total drag on this team all postseason, and honestly I even question him on 13 seconds. I know he's "just a kicker" but was our entire sideline so braindead that nobody thought to ask that kicking the ball out of the end zone might not be the best course of action?

 

And speaking of that, McDermott's decision making really must be compromised. How did he look at what Sam Martin was doing the week before the KC playoff game and think that guy could punt? If it looked anything like the garbage we saw that night, McD needs his brain checked. The guy couldn't kick. And apparently his holding expertise wasn't needed with little Norwood Jr, cuz that ***** wasn't hitting the broadside of a barn in a clutch moment this postseason.

 

Or putting AJ Klein on Kelce? I thought McD was a defensive guru. I don't pretend to know football like he does, but I probably coulda told you that a recently retired, washed up, slow SOB was not a good choice to put on the best tight end in the game, but what do I know?

 

Next year we won't have 12 men on the field in a critical moment or play the sidelines against a team down three with three timeouts. Surely we won't have our all-world QB leave the field with a lead multiple times to lose to the absolute dregs of the league. We won't come within a hairs breadth of losing to Easton Stick. Von Miller is totally gonna show up. And Greg Rousseau will become a game changer. And Ed Oliver will show up in the playoffs.

 

Also don't forget....

 

  

 

Actually, no you're not. You're a loudmouth who doesn't show up when the big moment calls for it. At least not in Buffalo. But keep talkin' Stef. Maybe you can join your bro in Dallas soon.

Let’s hope so. Hopefully Joe Brady can learn a thing or two from Reid on how to scheme guys open.

Yes, the Bills lose because of what the fans think. Touch the beer a little too hard during the Super Bowl tonight?

[The All-Pro-Knox Gallery]

It’s been the Pats and Chiefs league for too long. There’s like 29 teams including us that are “due”.

 

Would be nice to see us, Detroit, Minnesota, or Arizona take one home.

Agree with you about everything except Tre White. The dude spent the time he came back in 2022 still trying to recover completely and didn't quite get there. He appeared to be fully back or as close to it as he possibly could be this season before he went down again. You make it seem like he showed no signs of improvement whatsoever. There was a big difference between the small bit of Tre we had this year as opposed to what we had in 2022. And I do think he will be back in training camp next year as he should be. At the current contract he is at? Maybe not. But he should be here

Mahomes and the Chiefs have been getting the Brady treatment for some time now. We were still in a position to knock them out with a depleted roster on D this year. Josh does need more WR talent that he can count on. That is the priority, but it is certainly not fated to be a failure.

Do you really trust McDermott and Beane to draft heavy offense (specifically wrs) after what we've witnessed since 2018.  We have not drafted a 1st round wr in the McD/ Allen era.  And don't say Diggs cause he was a trade, which in hindsight tells us now we probably selected the wrong player(Jefferson?). I expect nothing less than WR, 1T, FS, WR in the first 4 picks.  

[Doc Brown]

The same people who are saying there's no way it's going to happen with McDermott/Beane running things are the same people who thought there's no way we win out to even make the playoffs sitting at 6-6.  Ignore them.

[billieve420]

You hope it will play out like Peyton or Big Ben where you can steal one from Mahomes just like those guys did against Brady.

Part of it is Mahomes though too who is willing to take the easy completions and move the chains.

And you’re entitled to your opinion as well. Just don’t be surprised when it ends up exactly the same next year. Because….it will. 

Winning the Super Bowl at the end of the year is a strange calculation of talent luck and health
 

People seem to forget how things went this year we were lucky to even make the playoffs. They managed to rail off a string of consecutive victories, and get to the number two seed of the afc

 

They took a blistering amount of injuries right before Kansas City

 

With all of that the Buffalo Bills took Kansas City right down to one throw away from possibly winning

 

I refuse to be down on this team one team gets to win the whole thing every year, and Kansas City has had the Fortune of health luck and a generational quarterback

 

It’s their time there is a strong possibility that next year might be ours
