All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Sean McDermott: It’s a matter of when, not if, we win a Super Bowl
He could have easily said nothing. There was no gun to his head. Most coaches (including McDermott) anre very good ant saying nothing most of the time… even when they’re speaking.
I love the confidence myself.
Better to be upbeat than beatdown.

You can’t say we can’t beat them. If KCs defense was in the position ours was in, we’d probably have won. If Hamlin didn’t die and come back to life, maybe the team wouldn’t have been so emotionally drained. Too many variables each season.
KC got lucky…they beat the Bills who had no LBs. They beat the Ravens who stopped running the ball like they had for 18 games. They beat the 49ers who inexplicably stopped giving the ball to McCaffery in the 3rd quarter.
They beat 3 very good teams. They've been to 4 of the last 5 SB's and won 3 of them. That's not luck.
I’ll not take anything away from KC…they took full advantage of injuries and ineptitude. Doesn’t mean we can’t beat them with a healthy roster, which is my point.
Well, two things: first, there's never a guarantee of a healthy roster, especially in the playoffs. Second, we're 0 for 3 against the modern Chiefs in the playoffs. So until we actually DO beat them in the playoffs, there's no reason to believe we can. The Bills have won plenty of night games and at least 1 playoff game a year for the last 4 years, so it would be wrong to say that the Bills choke on the big stage. But KC is just slightly better in the big moments than we are.

Will they (The Chiefs) win their division next year IYO?

They’re a skilled team obviously, but to deny luck is to ignore the facts.
They won 11 games.
Dominant teams don’t win only 11 games.
They’re very lucky that the three good teams they beat to win the SB this year (Dolphins don’t count) ALL did stupid/very stupid things to help them win.
They’re also lucky to have a HOF coach, TE and Kicker (and maybe QB) Without any one of the those future hall of famers they have zero rings.

Bills have one future HOFer…
Luck is huge.
It's better to be lucky than good but it's best when your good and lucky.

The health of the roster has nothing to do with it which is my point. The bottom line is, for whatever reason, when it really matters and the pressure is really on, our team can't think as fast as other teams and they get it handed to them.
Welcome to the Growth Mindset in the NFL. There isn't time for the better human **** that takes too much to play out in the NFL.
People are fooled by McDermott because he's really smart and a great coach ... but his culture bogs them down at the worst possible moments. McDermott is a cerebral defensive guru whose only real downfall is his timing is bad...
You can sit there and tell me if we had a healthy Milano and/or Bernard, Kelsey would have went off like he did and they’d put up 27 points?

Impossible to say. With a healthy D, our offensive game plan probably wouldn't have been the effective ball control plan that it was. With Davis out and Diggs checked out, this may have led to, say, careless turnovers.
All I know, when it matters most, McD comes up small more often than not, and they don't.
That's what my father said when he passed at 80 in 2019. A lifelong Bills fan who had heard the same from several other Bills coaches over the years.
Yeah, mine thought he might get lucky .... but he gained his skybox view last April.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

We were not well enough organized and/or prepared to win the football game.
and that's the bottomline.
