Still has those Jerry Rice records to break too.

Let him do a Gronk....just show up with 3 game left in the season for the next two years.

As the Chiefs just showed Sunday...they really are just coasting through the regular season anyway.

I mean all those quick hitters could have been used when the LT was getting Mahomes killed...anyone care to give an explanation?

Point spread?...Media narrative creation? Keep hope alive for seeding?

The bulk of his money next season is a roster bonus. It's the easiest thing in the world to bump those down the road with an extension or void years or whatever.

Yeah, if we need the money, it won't be hard to get. I just worry a bit about pushing money down the road when we know that PM's getting more expensive and GK and Karlaftis need to be addressed.

Our cap is REALLY lean right now. There's just very very little bad money on it. And we're still tight against it every season. And with the 2022 draft class starting to come into their $$$ seasons, that's gonna just get harder for us.

My preference really would be that a guy gets paid what he earns via production rather than we spread it.

But it's Kelce. His value is so much beyond what he does during the 18 weeks of the regular season. Just being the guy that walks alongside Mahomes as they come out of the tunnel is the kind of shit that's worth its weight in gold.

I really do wonder how life looks for PM when he doesn't have such a respected and valuable wingman anymore. Not from a productivity standpoint, but just from a team dynamics approach.

Leadership wise, that's gonna be a heck of a change.

It really makes you wonder htf the Eagles afford all their guys, at least it does me.

Philly's defense is super cheap. Lotta high end talent on draft deals.

They have a lot of big money contracts too...they have a bunch of guys with basically dead years added to decrease money because if you look at some of their guys AAV's and practical guarantees and then compare it to their cap it doesn't add up...

They're gonna have a bunch of dead money on their cap in a few years.

Exactly what I was going to say. They're kicking the can down the road. You don't center your offense around a RB, as good as he is, if you're not in win now mode. Barkley could break at any moment, especially with his history.

The amount of AAV and practical guarantees they have locked into just Hurts, Brown, DeVonta, Dickerson, Johnson and Mailata is crazy high...shit even Slay and Goedert have large deals.

It’s Howie Roseman and Brett Veach…then everybody else. I get some of the hate on Howie but if we didn’t have Veach I would be want him.

Hired Fangio
Hired Moore-about to go to Saints
Zack Baun and Mekhi Becton
Saquon
Drafting Quinyon and DeJean

This team was a mess last year. They fell apart and everyone thought they might not even be a playoff team the way they were headed.

Howie fixed it all in one offseason. He’s the real deal

They fell apart because their culture was ****ed and to some degree it still is. Their HC is a buffoon and the idea that as an NFL coach you are gonna win games by "out talenting your opponent" is shit that loses games in college these days.

When your WR is reading a book on the sideline you can't tell me everything is fine there.

They use void years much much MUCH more aggressively than we do.

Plusses and minuses either way.

Ultimately I think if you have a team with talented players and a means to keep them, you do it. Especially to keep their younger guys as they've largely done.

Worry about the shit sandwich you'll have to eat when it comes due. But when your window is wide open, attack it. Theirs is.

They'll worry about 2028 in 2028.

We may need to consider doing the same if we want to bring back Bolton while getting McDuffie and Karlaftis done this off-season.

I assume they believe the window with Hurts as QB will be shut before long.

Probably going for it now and then planning to rebuild after.

They’re probably right if that’s the case.

I believe Hurts deal expires in 28 or 29 if he continues to be the guy he is now, I wouldn't be shocked if they moved on.

Yeah - Hurts is probably the most obvious short-timer of the 'premier' QBs in the game right now.

He's just never developed much as a passer, he already looks less explosive than he looked 2 seasons ago, the bumps and bruises are mounting. I just don't see him being relevant into his 30s absent some real progression that we haven't seen in his 4 years as a starter.

He'll probably age about like Alex Smith did. And we saw how damn difficult it is to win post-season games with Smith as your starting QB. Worse still, Smith's deal was typically a middle class QB's deal -- Hurts isn't. He's going to be getting paid like a top quarterback fairly quickly.

If the Eagles are lucky some team like Minnesota will give up too much to trade for and extend him in the last year of that deal.

“How many chances do you get to trade for a 2 time Super Bowl starting QB?”

Win #2 He's safe
 

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott will hold their end-of-season press conferences Thursday at 1 Bills Drive.

McDermott and Beane will break down the 2024 season and discuss the upcoming draft, free agency period as well as the 2025 season, which kicks off in September.

This comes after the Bills were knocked out of the playoffs last Sunday by the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.

Beane is set to speak at 11 a.m., while McDermott is set to speak at 2 p.m.

Both media availabilities will be carried live

I'm pretty sure they already have.

DAMN! They are taking this hard.

clearly scripted

*End of seasom.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

But if they didn’t get to run up the score on these teams every year then they wouldn’t get to pretend Allen puts up as good as or better playoff numbers than Mahomes.

Have the Bills ever considering being better at football?

That seems to solve the problem imo.

Romeo Crenel really did more for this team than he ever got credit for

Reading two bills drive is like the movie ground hog day

You shut your whore mouth!

We'd be the same way...maybe worse.

Having a 50 TD QB and getting nothing accomplished, after all the heartbreak, would turn all of us insane.

They shouldn’t have smashed Montana’s head into the ground

No mercy

These Bills reporters from the field after the game pull no punches starting at 11:30. First Coleman versus Worthy ripping into Beane, then Kincaid, then the hate for "smug" Chiefs fans.

https://youtu.be/jJP3yKniSQg?si=u0-twQf6AD-7IVwh

The lady in the middle: "I did not even entertain the thought of the Bills not winning this game. They're the more talented team. I think they're playing better. And yeah, Mahomes and Reid and Kelce, but this was just the time the Bills get the monkey off their back"

https://media.tenor.com/baZfTF4uiC4A...y-you-fail.gif

Sorry, please, try again

Salty:)

She is a would...

Wonder if the curtains much the carpet?

"Smugness"? No, we appreciate this era and what it brought us.

If the price to pay for watching the level of greatness my Chiefs have reached is smugness, double it I’ll gladly pay!

Idk why they thought THIS was the better opportunity than last year, at their house with THOSE WRs?

Wasn't it Bill Parcells that had the famous quote "You are what your record says you are." How can someone stand and there and say that the Bills are the better team when they just lost? It's not like the Bills had a better record. It's not like the Bills played in a tougher division. I can understand why people want to believe they had the better team after a loss, but what evidence is there that the Bills were the better team?

How does anybody think THIS was the year when they had that defense?

This isn't the best Buffalo team we've seen.

The regular season and 30+ point regular season games is a drug to them... they'll detox over the next several months before jumping back on the bandwagon when they beat the Titans by 4 scores in September. How could that NOT mean they're beating the Chiefs and winning the Super Bowl?!?

As I was watching that video all I could think of them was that they were just fanboys and then they started calling out some Chiefs press as fanboys. I couldn't believe it.

LMAO Bills fans starting to turn their ire against Dion Dawkins as well for palling around with Chris Jones after the last 4th down attempt by the Bills. Can't say I blame them, I guess.

Obviously Dawkins should have been so angry he wanted to fight Chiefs players. What a failure LMAO

Interesting defense for shit slinging. We can't help it, it's the monkey

Maybe if they didn’t use a song about being cucked as their stadium anthem? I can’t believe they use Mr Brightside. Do they not know the meaning, or they’re just good being the cuck?

Nope.

The 13 seconds team was their peak. They had the number 1 defense to go along with all those offensive weapons.


Just goes to show you how crucial mistakes made from the sideline are. The last 13 seconds of regulation should be a training video for anyone getting into coaching on what not to do.

Yeah, I think 21 was probably their best overall team, but they still have an elite franchise QB. They'll have more chances.

Song is a banger... Its very fitting for them, Mahomes is ****ing their hopes and dreams in front of them annually at this point.

To defend Buffalo a little bit, any mistake they made in that game probably doesn’t matter against any other QB. Mahomes took any minor error and made them pay for it.

Also crazy to me that the “peak” Bills team was a ****ing 3 seed.

McDermott is slowly morphing into Gollum. Not really sure what precious is yet though

At Mizzou they play/crowd sing this song at home football games. I find it just bizarre. It's an okay song, but not some epic awesome thing. And the words/lyrics are not anything you would want to associate with winning or success. It's a sad song about pain and jealousy and visualizing your woman having sex with another man. I just don't get it.

Apparently Josh Allen broke his hand before halftime, would explain the heavy running of the ball in the 2nd half..

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sucks for Allen and the Bills if true (which kinda passes the smell test)... <br><br>BUT if that&#39;s what forced them to just run, run, run and throw the ball at the LoS most of the second half, then it kinda helped the offense find rhythm. <a href="https://t.co/0JyM8MLTOH">https://t.co/0JyM8MLTOH</a></p>&mdash; Matt Lane (@Matty_KCSN) <a href="https://twitter.com/Matty_KCSN/status/1884960470895128752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Breaking his hand on a QB sneak , who would have guessed . He broke is non throwing hand early in the season on a QB run as well , you think they would learn .

So Allen broke his hand running the Crash Test Dummy play and they kept running it LMAO

Beane seems like a dipshit, but for now I'll take his word over "Thigh Doctor".

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bills GM Brandon Beane said that Josh Allen did not break his right hand/wrist.</p>&mdash; Alaina Getzenberg (@agetzenberg) <a href="https://twitter.com/agetzenberg/status/1885012692353622135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Gee, it's almost like repeatedly using your QB as a glorified FB is a risky proposition because of the hits and beating it exposes him to.

If only someone had questioned whether Allen's body could stand up to the repeated and mostly unnecessary poundings to which they subject him!

And this is one of the reasons you don't go for two. It exposes your QB to possible injury. The injury risk has to be extremely low, but it's not zero.

What if he broke his thigh?

I mean Allen diving hands and head first over the pile to pick up 1 yard with a broken hand and fumbling the ball does sound like the most Bills play ever so its easy to believe

Just imagine if the Bills had pulled it out in the end. Then they're going to the SB with Allen having a broken hand.

They would be fine with it, had they won that game they would have thrown a parade right afterwards. We were their Super Bowl.

Yeah, of course you're right. It's not like they're ever going to win the Super Bowl.

I think the correct medical term is “Pro Bowl-Opt Out-itis”.

LMAO Beane spent a significant amount of time shitting on both Kincaid and Coleman at his presser today.

Josh Allen with two broken hands is better than Mahomes & ain't even close

And still blaming the refs.

What a clown show franchise.

Imagine being a Bills fan. Your franchise lost 4 straight SB’s with a HOF QB. Then you had to go through hell for damn near 20 years watching the greatest dynasty in your division. Then you finally get another HOF caliber top 5 QB again after about 25 years and take over your division with real Super Bowl hopes only to have the next great dynasty block you from getting back to the Super Bowl.

Worst part is that your own GM started that dynasty letting them get Mahomes. Then getting jumped by that franchise to get McDuffie. THEN willingly trade with them for a WR that was the difference in you going home.

Chiefs fans had it bad for a long time. Bills fans might have it just as bad as Lions as Browns fans. At least they had expectations when those loser franchises were so bad that they dealt with apathy.

That hurts way more

Technically Beane wasn't there as GM when Buffalo traded the pick.

The acting GM was the first year head coach (Mcdermott) with zero front office experience....


;)

He should be shitting on himself then. He drafted both of them. Hell, he could have had Worthy and opted for Coleman.

Every team is going to blame the refs now, they won't let it go.

Buffalo wanted a Michael Thomas so bad for their Sean Payton offense that they lied to themselves about what Coleman was as a prospect.

Agreed. I think that had they made it past KC they would’ve won the SB.

One of my favorite annual traditions now is the post-season Brandon Beane presser where he gets grilled about why they can't ever get past the Chiefs: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/b...ccess-and-more

That play still annoys the shit out of me.

Not because of the false start, but dammit that rush from Chris Jones was PERFECT.

I still have no idea how that throw/catch got made.

It was just incredible. I won't get uppity about the false start A) Because we won and B) it really had no bearing on the play. Jones was the guy that was shot out of a cannon and beat his guy like a rented mule. And Allen STILL got that ball off and through tight coverage by one of the best CBs in football.

That's the kind of play that football SHOULD have and I'd prefer not see called back on a flag. Damn it was impressive.

All true but these things don’t stop them from being arrogant crappy fans every year up until they get sent home.

Some Bills fans say it's rigged an are asking for a Super Bowl boycott. Pissing off Super Bowl sponsors, that'll straighten shit out

What pisses me off about this game is the Bills got the rules changed. Never mind the fact, that the very next week, the Bengals were in the same position as the Bills, and they actually played defense stopped the Chiefs and won the game.

Meanwhile, in the 2018 AFCCG...

Yeah, the fans of the team for whom the NFL actually changed the rules of the game believes that the NFL is rigging games against them.

Another example of postseason misery for Thurman Thomas.
