Knew it was gonna be rough but didn't expect it to be that brutal. Still held it together and got the big dub. Our lack of a consistent pass rush against one of the NFL's worst O lines is kinda inexcusable Def noticed the quiet of the 1st half on the TV feed, and how it only picked up w/ Cook's rushing TD
Hand fighting that is let go is one thing, but the receiver stuck Elam hard at the last second to create separation on the first TD. Was the officiating as awful to anyone else as it was to me?
Cannot imagine a win or loss without coming to hear what the boys say! Like you said, KC wins these types of games every week, and nobody complains, but Nervous Mafia won't let the Bills celebrate a close W. We need a healthy secondary and it will be better. Go Bills and Merry Christmas. The sleep over sounds awesome and what a great memory for your kids, Aaron.
There's no reason for Spector to ever be in over Dorian. The team obviously went conservative with personnel decisions. Probably wise, to be honest, but it left the defense shortstaffed. The offense looked undisciplined and almost like they expected to sleepwalk to a win.
Best take thus far. I feel the same way about Milano. Williams has earned the starting role and he’s playing the best. Spector is a huge liability every time he hits the field

They 100% expected the Pats to lay down. The vanilla game plan. Starting Spector over Williams. Coming off the hyped win vs Lions. It all adds up to a flat performance. I wish folks would not use the divisional opponent excuse. They played the “perfect game” vs a better Pats team than this in the ‘21 playoffs in their 3rd game vs them. If they were focused they would have throttled them.
You guys are right! That orangey red definitely reminds me of the Patriots' jerseys. That color only looks passable (no pun intended) when the pants are the same orangey color.
Spector played bc Dorian has been dealing with an elbow injury for a little while now. Clearly not significant enough to scratch him, but obviously at least somewhat of an issue considering they put Spector, who's a Middle LBer, in at WLB where he hasn't played since maybe preseason or Training Camp. Even with it being the Pats, I don't think they do that outside of a completely meaningless game in which at the very least I'm sure they'd like to work on some recent deficiencies they've had going to into the playoffs...And complete aside, not sure if it's Spector's lingering calf, but man he looked like he was playing in mud tonight, which perhaps is what made Dorian look so explosive when he came in bc that dude looked like an uncaged animal. It's easy to take for granted just how fast and physical he is when we haven't seen him consistently in recent weeks like before Milano's return.
Josh said in the post game that the offense was holding stuff back for the playoffs. They want the 1 seed but don’t want to blow their load so to speak
@@adamant5550 Why though? How do you know he's lying? It makes sense not to show too much and save some shit for the playoffs like KC seems to do every year. And I wouldn't be surprised if the bills rest some starters the next two weeks if KC wins and locks up the 1 seed on Wednesday. Its about the playoffs at this point not about beating already slain divisional opponents.
Calling Dorian Williams just Tyrel Dodson is disrespectful and a rare, and frankly moronic, take by Greg. Is the best in zone recognition yet? No, but the guy is still really young, and didn't come from Aranda's system at Baylor like Bernard, yet has shown drastic improvement in that area, not to mention I've never seen Dodson carry Devon Achane up the sideline on a wheel route stride for stride like Williams. He's also far more fast, far more physical, a far better tackler, and a better Blitzer by miles. If he's Tyrel Dodson, he's the Luke Kuechly of Tyrel Dodsons (no, I'm not saying he'd Kuechly, obviously)
I am 100% good on not having Specter start at LB. Dorian is so much better but he was playing through an injury. Make sense why Morrow was brought back 👍 Special Teams coach, Smiley, needs to go
@@Brianp150H how many reps does he need before fans finally figure out he is not that good and for 3 years has got dumb penalties.......................1st round draft pick should be an impactful player 3 seasons in...........
@@footballpro-xt6jf see I can agree with that if there wasn’t those flashes we have seen. In general, I’d agree with you. But he really hasn’t been given a fair shot.
My issue with "everyone eats" in the WR room, is that it's very hard to keep every guy going hard every snap in terms of winning 1 on 1s in man coverage, in every single game, all year long when a guy thinks he's got maybe a 1/5 chance of getting the ball thrown his way on every pass. And some might say "they're pros, of course they're trying to win every snap". Yes, but sometimes you try a little harder than other times and tonight seemed like one of those games where guys weren't necessarily going as hard. And yes, this happens, otherwise they wouldn't constantly talk about how rare it us to have a room like they do where everyone is so unselfish and guys are just working for when it's their turn. Maybe it was a combination of the cold, playing a 3 win team, and buying their own hype a bit. Regardless, I yjinkbits actually a positive bc no doubt there won't be any trouble with motivation in the playoffs, and they won't have a vanilla plan vs man cov., so I'm not too worried about teams just smothering us with man. Look what we did vs Detroit and Man cov, a game they were clearly motivated for.
This was definitely Shakirs worst game. And I disagree that the one long pass on third down was the only one he should of had. He has to catch that ball in the endzone. The difference between other teams stars and the Bills is that the Bills stars rarely make contested catches like that. Other quarterbacks can throw 50/50 balls and expect their receivers to come down with some of them.
First off, we don't have "stars". We have guys that could become stars in Coleman, Shakir, & Kincaid, and an aging former star in Cooper, but no current stars. Secondly, each of those guys have made plenty of their fair share of spectacular catches this year, contested or otherwise. To say they haven't is just completely disingenuous. It didn't happen today, doesn't mean it hasn't happened at all.
and Keon Slowman only had 1 catch ........the first pick for Buffalo this year...............should have taken Ladd McKonkey who has over double the stats.......

A win's a win, and it was nice to see the defense step up and help get it. Go Bills!!
I'm 100% a fan of Beane Cook Davis and Johnson figuring out a way to keep all 3 of them around for awhile. Love our backfield
This just in: Greg Tompsett voted local favorite (and most handsome) sportsball analyst.
Merry Christmas dudes. Appreciate your shows.

Josh Allen played like Tony Eason with the red uniform, bring back blue on blue for the playiffs
Why do they like Baylon Spector?
🎄 Merry Christmas ✨
Merry Christmas to you too!

I agree, Williams is a superior athlete to Dodson at this point in time.
Well said
Yes! Retire the uniforms right away! They looked like the Patriots!
I kept confusing the teams, to my great shame!

Special Teams coach, Smiley, needs to go
“ Wack PI “ Aaron Quinn 😂 ( the pi was indeed 2x wack )
Shout out Adam pencil’s stats
Thank you Greg and Aaron for all the great content the past year
I wouldn't say this close win is the same as KCs close wins. KCs close wins are because the defense holds the other team from scoring a bunch.
Get rid of the red jerseys. Especially against the Pats.
I don’t know how KC fans deal with these types of games every week… that was gross. It still, 12-3 is a terrific record.
Well, KC has won 3 super bowls in four seasons. We've made it to one, just one, AFC championship game.
Smiley should have been gone last year...
I appreciate McDermott's loyalty but enough is enough !! 🙄😬
Aaron nailed it. KC plays like this every week and they get praised. The national media whiplash this morning is definitely exhausting though.
kc has won 3 super bowls; they get the benefit of the doubt... thats how it usually works
@chopin1975-tq3gx very insightful
KC has won 3 super bowls in 4 years lmao we are nothing like KC, not even in the same conversation as them
@@chopin1975-tq3gx You get it
Comment for the algo
Much appreciated!
trash defense
Is Elam really that bad? I so badly want to believe in him. There’s flashes here and there. I just can’t give up haha.
Same here.
He needs reps and the coaching staff doesn’t have much faith in him apparently.
