For everyone roasting the OP, this is a decent critique. Josh was not as good against the Ravens and KC as he was all season. So lets determine why. One reason: the OL play seriously deteriorated. KC was getting continual pressure with 4 DL, which allowed KC to drape coverage all over WR's. No one was open. We have a putrid screen game and lack a speedy back for it. Daboll could have helped with some plays to McKenzie, but didn't until the game was out of hand. So reason #1: OL. Reason 2: Gosh got sacked for something like 50 yards. He needs to throw it away MUCH sooner. If there is no one open, and no where to escape, option 3: throw away. Don't try to force an escape, particularly if it involves running backwards. With that said, there has rarely been a QB asked to carry an entire team this early in his career who has had this much success. We have no running game, our WR #2 is on a broken leg, and something was wrong with Brown, and our defensive game plan v. KC was a joke. In conclusion: (1) fix run game; (2) fix OL; (3) Josh throw it away sooner; (4) fix defense.

not a weight bearing bone makes sense. Still, ouch. That is a tough guy. And he still was productive (not as much as before, but still produced).

how is this even possible?> WOW.

I'd save a lot on the DL by letting most of them go. Use savings to sign Tomlinson from the Giants to play 1T and/or an Edge rusher, and draft those positions also.

Oliver would be much better with a real 1 tech next to him. Regarding Edmunds, I see him at replacement level. but he is still young, so he could improve. he is more of an outside LB. He is a huge liability in the run game. If we can't keep Edmunds, we could pick up a 1 tech and draft Edmunds replacement. Overall, the DL is a huge issue.

agreed. the coaching and game plans were terrible. the OL added to it with its terrible execution.

well, this wins true yet depressing post of the night. that said, I like Allen more than Boomer and we have a GM who may be better than Polian. I like our odds of catching and beating KC.

agreed. and hopefully a better RB and line will help him do that next year.

well. hopefully SB victory is on the way! but agree we are missing a run game, edge, 1 tech and some OL upgrades.

yep. esp. the last part. the Kc D just teed off on our passing game because we have no running game. and the OL was a disaater. OL was a disaster. Nice of them to back Allen up at the end, but how about blocking those guys to begin with.

yeah. it was those issues. we had no run game, letting Kc’s not great D key in and sell out to stop the pass (it worked), while KC played balanced on offense exploiting our terrible zone scheme that does not work against KC. we fix those weaknesses and we’ll beat KC.

yeah, looks like everyone was covered. OL was a disaster today.

or DC apparently. and hit him at the line.

agreed. cant’ be one dimensional. and DT and OL.

Bean and Allen are really the reason for optimism.

well. to be honest we are as relevant as every other non-winning team. we got smoked 2 times by KC this year. We need a running game and better front 7.

yep. and KC has the worst red zone D and we sucked against it and kicked fg’s. our lack of running game and inability to stop it or TE’s was on full display today

lack of preparation and in game adjustments and going conservative v. kc.

and if anyone thinks steeler fans, pats fans, now KC fans, Etc are happy making a championship game you’d be wrong. the goal is to win it all. The Bills looked lost today.

the teams issues all season were exposed today. No running game. Terrible D style of bend and don’t break. Failure all season long to fix these issues led to this loss. It wasn’t necessary. We’ll see if Bean can fix it. There are some good FA’s available and draft picks would immediately help. Big thing will be Josh continual improvement.

there were systemic issues all year with this team that prevented them from winning. the bend and don’t break D, lack of running game to name two. ppl pointing that out were not being negative nancies before nor are they overreacting today.

Frazier may be an issue also. Does the whole line suck or scheme ?

getting out-coached. McD’s “Jauron” moments of kicking fg’s when inside the 10 likely cost us 8 pts. Daboll can’t figure out a game-plan. Not activating DE Murphy.

why not run josh on 3rd down

Daboll getting crushed by the worst red zone D.
