Coaches and owners also want to win. It's like that good hand you draw but something isn't quite right. You know you should fold but you haven't won a big hand in so long and this is the first big chance you've had in forever.

The bills franchise is desperate for a title. They made major moves this off-season to win now and things will get more difficult in the coming years with the cap.

Not that hard to believe they could make some poor decisions to win now. Don't know the whole story but I don't see it as some wild conspiracy theory. Just human nature.

Glossed over that it's BillZone... that's the better one, I believe Cntrygal helps run it. Far better than TBD.... they deserve all the trolling they receive and then some.

Exactly. Reading a board that is like reading about “crazy chick accusing me of stealing her drugs and …”

Reid was a proven winner without Mahomes. All of McDermott’s success has happened because of Josh Allen. Definitely puts some big time pressure on McDermott, especially when the team is pumping big money into an aging Von Miller.

Did Josh Allen's arm look hurt to you?

No. They weren't taking any undo risk.

His brain maybe, not this arm.

Nobody with a worthwhile opinion.

I know we're treasuring our years of Mahomes, but we also need to treasure our years with Andy Reid (ESPECIALLY Andy Reid with Mahomes).

We might find a Barry Switzer who's just good enough to win a ring with everything we have established, but it's going to be a step back. I doubt we find a coach who cultivates this kind of chemistry among the locker room and with the players, and I DEFINITELY doubt we'll find as creative of an offensive mind.

The people who continue to rant and rave and complain about Andy seem to think all-time great head coaches grow on trees. We can do far fucking worse.

He’s not taking what’s given to him. Patrick had this problem last year but fixed it.

Have been saying this for weeks now. Just absolutely unwilling to take the layups. They’re not sexy. But they’re the little plays in a game that matter. https://t.co/T3TmucfsOr

Nahh man. Mahomes in cold weather games is nice. Hawaiian born and raised Tua and those ferraris of his arent gonna run too well on frozen grass in sub zero temps in January.
[Reply]

He wasn't the same guy...you could see that.

Cold weather will destroy his weak arm passes more than they already are.

I think the tua episode is a good example of there being only so much a doctor can do. So much of that assessment depends on the player telling the coach how he feels. Alex smith said as much… he didn’t blame the team but he mentioned he “hid” info so he can get back on the field.

Would Andy do it? Alex smith seems to believe no. I also think Andy is way more conservative about this during the regular season than other coaches might be. Maybe because he has the luxury of being less desperate. I do get that we played mahomes after his leg injury and after the concussion sooner than some of the “experts” may have suggested. However I still feel like what Miami did to tua and arians did to… everybody was pretty egregiously bad. Buffalo doesn’t feel as egregious to me but no, I don’t think Andy plays josh allen knowing this is a regular season game with a playoff position well within their sights
[Reply]

Well, Alex Smith is a moron, so...
[Reply]

I think many are asking if it’s affecting his grip.

And if some of his late game collapse was from his elbow feeling worn down.
[Reply]

They should win that game just because the Lions defense is so bad but given the short week and decent Lions offense at times that’s definitely a game the Bills could lose.
[Reply]

I'll definitely have dementia by the time Mahomes is gone. How fortunate! Just hope I can have some coherence for the last SB run.
