He is available IIRC. I think it's telling that he has never been elevated shows that McDermott would have rather taken the chance on playing Cole Bishop. But if Rapp is hard out, I can see a chance.

 

Cam Lewis IMO 

If a rookie starts at Safety against Mahomes it's troubling....

Nice no Hochuli. KC’s record with Blakeman is 6-5 I read in the reffing thread.

 

I called Blakeman as the ref when I was sleuthing in the point spread. His staff calls a lot of penalties but doesn’t seem to favor the Chiefs at all. Hochuli did our divisional game last year so I correctly picked both officials and that Blakeman would be ours

I remember Kelce’s sarcastic clap. This time it’s for all the marbles.

 

 

I hope this is played for the team. It was a, “ oh good for you guys, but this doesn’t matter, we will own you again In the playoffs”…

I took it more as a legit "golf clap" applause to the fans and team for ending their undefeated season effort

Yes. I don’t think they need any motivation for this one though.

let's force 4 on Sunday

[Success]

We might have more non-Bills fans rooting for us in this one than any team in history.

 

I'm sure it's close w/ teams like the Giants when they played the Patriots - but even then, I remember there were Philly & Dallas fans who couldn't bring themselves to pull for NY.

I’ve been watching GMFB this morning and based on that I think the Bills should forfeit. According to these experts the Ravens beat themselves. And the Bills have no chance against the Chiefs. I’ve got news for them, the Bills beat the Ravens. The Ravens had three turnovers, two caused by Bills players, the other was a terrible pass by the anointed by all MVP. Mark Andrews dropped a game tying pass. The Bills were in his head, because of the fumble, he dropped it. I don’t care if he caught it. Bills had 1:33 and two timeouts, Josh Allen would have willed that team down the field for a walk off game winning FG. 
 

As for the Chiefs, they are not what they once were.  Mahomes has been running for his life, that OL stinks, the LT is a turnstile. GO GET THEM, GO BEAT THEM!

Yeah I love the "but for the turnovers" mindset. Turnovers are an integral part of the game. Not unlike putting in golf. Rory McIlroy would have won the US Open for this year if he could have made a couple 3 foot putts.

This is a transition year. We will be 9-8

With this statement, was Sean undervaluing Josh's value in the success of the team. Or overvaluing his own?

[Kelly to Allen]

So I'm going to say this now. Especially after rewatching the highlights. Spencer Brown is not only the best rt in the NFL imo. He's the best offensive lineman ive ever seen on the bills. He's reaching levels of dominance that are reminiscent of Erik Williams or Tony Boseli 

 

Cook me if you disagree.

Major kudos to Spencer Brown.  Many of us here were bashing him less than a year ago, myself included.  He's become a BRAWLER.  

It's amazing to have a Top 5 OL unit.  Probably Top 3 

Kromer for position coach of the year....

this isn't the flex that they think it is.

Think about it, guys.........we win one more game and we're going to the SB.

 

Just let that sink in.

That never occurred to me until just this very second. 

[MasterStrategist]

Good for Rapp, no Bueno for Benford.

 

Taron is OK, just sore per McD.

 

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

So there’s no chance Hyde will play.
 

Can the Bills sign me to the practice squad also? I got some bills to pay.

I'm just sitting in my office at work and that juicy nugget of revelation just hit me.........like, i'm talking hit on the head with a hammer revelation (it actually never even occurred to me until just this minute).

McClappy seems to have evolved too. Thank god. Think about the 4th down, gone for it. Maybe he isn’t playing afraid or afraid of Andy anymore. 
 

2020: 10 attempts, 8 successful (80% rate)

2021: 15 attempts, 8 successful (53.3% rate)

2022: 15 attempts, 9 successful (60% rate)

2023: 16 attempts, 9 successful (56.3% rate)

2024: 20 attempts, 15 successful (75% rate)

McDermott is consistently one of the more aggressive Head coaches in the league when it comes to this.

Chiefs would pick on him all game. Would be a disastrous decision.
