    Why no tush push on the Allen QB sneaks?

    It was reasonable to dismiss it....we did not need a caller to tell you he likes to go to his left, there was no secret we all watched it all year....the point is it was always successful.  However in this game, it was clear they geared up for it and they should have went to something else.

    They dismissed that it mattered at all, not that it was a secret. I'm not sure I understand why it would be reasonable for them to dismiss the caller's point when you  confirm the Bills clearly should've adjusted in game.

     

    Jeremy and Nate refused to acknowledge the tendency, which was then exploited by the Chiefs, much to our chagrin.

    Hard to beat the Chiefs and the refs every post-season

    I've lived in Northern Virginia for 15 years, and although I know a handful of Bills fans in the area, I'm primarily surrounded by fans of other teams. Unequivocally, the feeling amongst those fans and as far as I can tell, commenter's online and on TV is that the Bills didn't get a fair shot. That's as even keeled as I can put it, but regardless, the sentiment doesn't help... at all.

    From a Chiefs player…

     

    “I mean, from our defensive side, he always QB sneaks to our right. So every time we see him in QB sneak formation, we know he’s coming to the right side every time. It’s a hundred percent, 10 for 10, he’s going to that side. If he would’ve did something different, then we wouldn’t have been prepared because we’re selling he was coming to that right side every time. And if they would’ve, you know, I think self-scouted a little bit, then they would’ve went to the opposite side and they probably would’ve had a little more chance.”

     

    Joe Brady’s coaching leading up to that game and in that game was brutal. Zero tendency breakers, running the same stuff we ran all year, etc. 


    I thought for sure all year that they were setting the stage to (in the playoffs) go into QB sneak formation and then run a fake-sneak pass, or go to the opposite side, or do a quick pitch, or SOMETHING.

     

    But nope. 
     

    Same old, same old.

    I mentioned this before, but on Sunday afternoon, a caller into WGR told Jeremy and Nate that he noticed Allen always tush pushes/sneaks to the left pushing off his right foot. He mentioned the Chiefs would certainly be aware of this and be prepared, although Jeremy and Nate more or less dismissed him.

     

    I keep thinking about that caller.

    Lost in the sauce: Outstanding Performances vs KC

    in The Stadium Wall

    I remember the feeling after the 2021 Divisional Round at Arrowhead that it was a shame the 2nd half performance would likely be lost to history. That hasn't really happened, but it's difficult to celebrate it the same way we would if they'd won the game.

     

    I don't know what to make of all these ultimately fruitless albeit heroic efforts. James Cook's game should go down as an all-time great postseason performance, but I can't imagine ever wanting to watch it again.

     

    Its such a sad, melancholy feeling. Like a funeral.

     

    Go Bills.

    Kurt Warner breaks down the 4th down. Allen error?

    Warner is right. Josh needs to recognize O'Cyrus giving up the ridiculous blow by and immediately look across his body to his check down. Instead, he follows the play deisgn and as he's about to be blown up somehow finds Kincaid 25 yards downfield in what should have been the play of the year. 

    If the teams were reversed in this situation, is there any doubt Kelce catches it and all anybody talks about is the greatness of Mahomes?

     

    It wasn't an "easy" catch to make, especially if Kincaid was really playing on torn ligaments, but he had time to adjust and wait for it to him in the hands, unmolested.

    If I said to you before the game, the Bills will be down 3 with the ball and 3:35 remaining....

    would you not have taken that scenario before the game??

     

    I know I would have.....and I would be expecting a TD drive to win it.

     

    I bet that 8 times out of 10, the Bills would have at least gotten a FG in that situation, and maybe 4 out of 10 the Bills score a TD in that scenario.

     

    That leaves a 2 out of 10 chance the Bills score no points in that scenario.......and unfortunately that is exactly what we got.

     

    After the Bills D held the Chefs to that FG on the most important 1st and Goal situation of the season, I thought for sure the Bills would write the storybook ending we all hoped for, but it didn't happen.

     

    Really feel defeated right now, because I don't feel that the game was taken away from the Bills, I think they had it in their hands and let it slip away.🤢

    I'd have said exactly what I posted in the 2nd half GameDay thread while the Bills were driving in the scenario you describe:

     

    Where else would you rather be?

    1/26/25 GAMEDAY AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Bills @ Chiefs Post Game Thread

    Posted · Edited by Punch

    I'm reminded of when the Sabres beat Ottawa in 5 games in 2005-06 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Senators' flagship radio station took calls for hours after the elimination game which they dubbed the "annual all night wake". I experienced true schadenfreude, friends.

     

    It was short lived. Being a Buffalo sports fan is a non stop wake and there is no release from the torment.

     

    Go Bills.
