***2021 NFL PLAYOFFS***

Weird, because last night I noticed that playing defense matters.

Bills' defense slipped a little in 4th qtr. Pass rush was weak. In the playoffs, the full 15 minutes in OT should be played. But the same OT rules worked against the Chiefs when Brady was a Patriot. Josh Allen has proven his worth.

I expect the Rams to beat the 49ers and the Chiefs to beat the Bengals in a close game. Tyreek Hill versus Jamar Chase. Dolphins better keep building through the draft.

We've learned that 13 seconds is plenty enough time for Mahomes

Grier needs to get a QB to back up Tua. We cannot get to the playoffs with garbage backups and uncertainty of Tua.
Grier needs to get some running backs on this roster, and scrap the garbage we have. Running game last year was unacceptable, and Duke opened eyes when he was inserted into lineup. We can do better, much much better.
Grier needs to keep the defense in tact, resign them.
Those are the big ones. From here it's about improving the Oline in FA and wideouts, to get some weapons.

And finally, if there is a QB who can run and has a cannon in the draft, and was successful in college, we need to pull the trigger and draft him. No questions asked. For example, Ridder this year.

Everyone’s worried about The QB position but I’d be more worried about making sure this defense is loaded to stop those offenses, need more speed edge rushers.

QB is the least of this teams worries.

Agreed and is why I was saying they need to kick the KO in the field of play so that the chefs could only run 1 play and not 2.

Depends on where ball goes. Sometimes the kicks get caught near 35 40 yard line. LEss time, but with 3 timeouts, closer to fg range with timeouts still. I think bills were scared somebody on chiefs would get a big gain from kickoff or take it to the house. I think the previous tyreek hill td where it took the slant and went all the way to the td, made them think he or other fast players on chiefs would take return far.

 

[Adam Strange]

We learned this team is far away from the top of the conference and that one of the conference's top teams (who we haven't beaten in the last 6 tries) is set to dominate the division for a while.

 

[lbmclean_nocal]

The 2021 draft was an outlier. I expect more 2020-like drafts in the future

 

[cltchperf]

The 2 QB’s matched each other play for play. The difference in the end was coaching. Reid made the right calls and the Bills coach didn’t. Squib kick with 13 to go basically put Chiefs in Hail Mary situation. Dumb coaching when you had game won.

I think prevent defense didn;t make sense

 

[Fred Bear]

We can win with a strong running game, strong defense and a few passes here and there. Ball control and eat up the clock.

One more thought on the Bills before they fade away…. They are close to a Super Bowl….About as close as a team can be without getting there. They need to make a really bold move in the off-season. Trade for a big-time RB like Zeke or someone like him. It’s gonna cost them….But who cares. They’ll be in the Super Bowl. Regardless…..They can’t keep running with Allen like they’re doing now. Eventually….One of those hits he’s taking is gonna cause real damage.

Don't get zeke, he's a waste of $ and not the same guy. They can draft a rb or get someone else, that would be a waste of money

Keep the defense intact, make minor tweaks if warranted.
Do what ever the **** is necessary to fix the offense this year through FA and draft.
Let Tua play this year with an improved offensive and then worry about the possibility of a QB change using the 2023 draft.
