CBS: The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs
Mentions the Chiefs several times, so figured you guys would want to see it.
The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs Forget the Ravens. Forget the Bucs. The team you don't want to play in January is the Buffalo Bills. With all due respect to the Packers, the AFC's No. 2 overall seed may very well be the second-best team in the NFL. The Bills crushed the Dolphins 56-26 in a game Miami needed for their playoff hopes. And maybe we didn't see a 30-point win coming, but it's in line with what the Bills have been doing to teams in recent weeks. Buffalo has had a top-five scoring defense since Week 12. If not for the Hail Murray they would have finished on a 10-game win streak dating back to before Halloween. And then there's Josh Allen. The third-year franchise quarterback has, in consecutive weeks, set the Bills single-season records for passing touchdowns and passing yards. What I love most about the Bills is that they aren't even letting teams hang around. Since that Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, not a single team has finished within a possession of the Bills. I go back to that Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Sean McDermott picked his poison and let the Chiefs' run game beat them up so that Patrick Mahomes wouldn't. Kansas City rushed for 245 yards and Mahomes passed for 225 yards. But with about 5 minutes left in the game and down 23-17, the Bills forced a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble that would have given the Bills the ball at the Kansas City 31. They would have had a chance to take the lead against the Chiefs there. But instead, the replay showed Edwards-Helaire's knee was down just before the ball came out. Mahomes took the Chiefs down for the field goal and that provided the final margin of victory. Allen is a better quarterback today than he was then. The defense is playing far better ball. And after sweeping the Patriots and beating the likes of the Seahawks and Steelers, the Bills now know how to win big games. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/t...insider-notes/ |

Do you remember our Daboll run offenses? Just promote your QB coach and get on with your life if your'e McDermott. |

He posted 20 times in 2014 when we beat them in Buffalo. Then he disappeared for 6 years.

Daboll is more important than people realize If Buffalo hires a "pro style'" offense OC Allen will look awful. |

Promoting your QB coach only works flawlessly somewhere like KC where the true mastermind is Reid, so it doesn't really matter nearly as much who is promoted and gets the OC role. McDermott is a defensive coach, so he absolutely depends on a sharp mind at OC for the offense to reach its full potential. |

that's why you just promote from within. Nothing changes but who calls the actual plays.

Like you can literally keep the same offense. Same terminology. Same system. Same everything except the guy calling the actual plays. It's already in place. A bigger mistake would be to scrap it all and start over with a whole new OC and new system, don't you think? |

that's why I would just promote the QB coach and change nothing.

NFL teams will start countering better like KC did with messing up his pre snap reads or Tennessee with cloud coverage. Dorsey has never done it before, never called NFL plays. It's not a guarantee. See Cleveland hiring Kitchens. Kitchens threw out the playback from Haley and used his own based on Arians. Disaster. |

Hire an outside OC, new system, new terminology, new everything or promote from within and stay the course it seems pretty cut and clear. Don't scrap what's working. That's all I'm saying. |

Because it literally just happened. There is no time for a team to evolve in 6 days. But the Bills game against the Dolphins in Week 2, has no impact on a game 13 weeks later. And we saw that happen. Bills-Dolphins was a 3 point game in September. The Bills beat them by 30 points in December. Same teams. Different results. Teams evolve. |
