Wow even though that was incomplete , that Mahomes pass on 4th down was one of the most amazing throws Ive ever seen! He throws it with zip, accurately while diving in mid air!! and his receiver full on drops it!

I had made peace with the Bills performance vs KC but seeing how well TB has handled KC in this game, I'm back to being angry. Our coaches really did a poor job in prep for that game!

Im just so numb to it now. Brady winning another one is as inevitable as death and taxes!

I thought about that as well. WTF were we asleep?

Exactly what I thought during the game and before it. How many times have we seen high flying pass oriented offenses humbled by defensive schemes that arent pretty but very effective in the playoffs? its happened forever in the NFL if the coaches are good enough. Our biggest failure was giving up on the run too soon. If they knew Singletary was not up to it they should have dressed Antonio Williams. In the game they should have kept plugging away with Yeldon. But they waited too long and the game got away from them!

I wouldn't mind TB winning for Arians sake but Brady is the deal breaker. Yes he's the Goat but hes had too much success and seeing him win another SB? what is exactly is that going to prove?

Speaking of Shady, is he still on the Bucs roster?? He has a chance at 2 straight SBs? In which he wont play??

This is my question that I asked earlier. The officials in the replay review area in NY saw the same replay that we all did on the broadcast of Feliciano getting punched by Jones. The league would be acquainted with Jones because they know he is a hothead because he had been ejected for punching someone in 2018 (in the previous clip I shared). Why didn't the NY officials crew buzz the ref and tell them instantly there was an off the ball incident with a punch. Either formally or on the down low. This stuff happens in other sports all the times and definitely happens in the NFL too (whether the league admits it or not). Jones should have been ejected no matter what the game is. That is the normal rule. The officials on the field had to have seen it and NY definitely saw it but nothing was done. Even after the fact the BIlls coaches should have brought this to the refs attention. You can bet if a Bills player had done it, it would have been called on the field and the Bills player ejected. In the end we played so poorly that we may have lost anyway, but is the Chiefs pass rush going to be the same on Josh if Jones is no longer there? The whole incident played out like the distract the referee in WWE!!

That play before halftime was like watching a high school football defense. The guy gets behind the DB and catches a Brady rainbow that was a level of difficulty that most people on TBD would have caught easily. What the hell were GB thinking??

Apparently punching people is a regular thing for Chris Jones! And he was ejected for it 3 years ago. Another odd coincidence, the guy who scored the TD before the PAT that Jones was tossed? TJ Yeldon! Hopefully the link works www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWkjjck76nQ

Wow looking at it again. It is so flagrant and I doubt Feliciano would fake falling down so it had to have been hard. But here is a question, had Feliciano stayed down and made more of a meal out of it, would the refs have reviewed the incident by replay? Is that kind of issue reviewable? I also wonder why Jones snapped like that at all? Its a pretty dumb thing to do, why so mad?

I thought the same thing but when I watched the replay the official is in a good position and you can see the Cleveland player's head take a serious turn after the hit. Also there would have been the unmistakable popping sound of the helmets hitting. Just like the Saints Rams game in 2018 in almost the same position.

The officials had to have seen the Jones punch. He knocked the Bills lineman down with it. They just chose to overlook it which is ridiculous. It should have been an automatic ejection.

I agree but the big problem is that these officials are so bad at their jobs it would be non stop reviews to make up for their incompetence. I have repeatedly argued on here that coaches should be able to challenge one bad officials call per game. That would certainly keep the officials more on their toes to make the right call. Like you said if Cleveland gets that call they might have won. And the helmet to helmet hit was so blatant even at real speed, the official had to be blind not to see it!!

At least with a blitz, you might get to Mahomes and hurry him, deflect a ball or ....horrors physically touch him!! Mahomes barely got caressed in that game. Maybe a few hits or slightly late follow throughs might have at least put him off and bruised him up a bit. They were getting beaten anyway. That or switch to double man coverage on Kelcey.

I'm always of two minds with Daboll. On the one hand , he's a creative genius who has really helped Josh's development and made our offense elite. On the other hand he arrogantly tries to keep with a plan and makes no adjustments even when it isnt working. I get that he was hamstrung by the injuries and the lack of options in the running game but the Chiefs never got punished for blitzing and never had to fear a run option at all, so they could go to town on our receivers with smothering man to man coverage. It was a recipe for disaster. Daboll should have run Yeldon more and had Josh run on designed plays. The one plus about Yeldon is he is a big body who punishes people trying to tackle him. The KC defense needed to be worn down by the run. Instead they looked just as fresh in the 4th quarter as they did in the first! Overall I was struck by how vanilla everything has been in the playoffs. Why are we scared to run a creative offensive play in an elimination game? We needed some trickery in that game in the worse way. Where was the running back or receiver option throw? why don't we ever do reverses? One jet sweep? The game plan on both sides of the ball was dumb at best, insane at worst!

Diggs is an elite status WR and closest player we have to the premium quality players we had in the early 90s. Josh is almost there and Beasley is close, but Diggs is a star. If we had a running back even 1/2 of Thurman last night we would have taken the pressure off Josh and the receivers to carry us and would have at least kept pace with the Chiefs. I'm really impressed that Diggs lasted the whole season with the punishment he took. It seemed that defenses couldn't get enough of pounding him fairly and dirty throughout the season.

I'm convinced that Trey hid an injury all year. He never looked like the Trey from previous years. He's a great player that looked mediocre all year with some flashes of brilliance. Also the changes of defensive personnel and ill thought out schemes combined with a pathetic pass rush when it mattered put Trey in bad situations over and over.

Our defensive game plan for this game? Hope and Prayer. Hope that Mahomes was out and pray a lot if he was playing! Embarrassing!

There was a small chance that we could have won the SB with that defense. But to do that all the stars would have had to align and we would have had to get some incredible luck on both sides of the ball. As I watched this game I got a sickening feeling of deja vu back to the Bills of the late 80s and how the Offense was always so good but if neutralized would expose our sometimes iffy defense. And those teams had some serious talent on D. Of the few name players we have on this defense, they just didnt show up in this game and some others this year. We were lucky to beat Indy. It just seems incredibly to me that with such a mediocre defense that the coaches didnt come up with something special for the Chiefs. It was like they were just hoping that Mahomes didn't play!

1. Coaching staff had their worst game of the season. Daboll's playcalling was mediocre at best and piss poor at worst. Allen should have been used on the 4th down plays instead of FGS. Frazier and the defense looked like they didnt prepare at all, like it was 1960s NFL when teams just played their simple playbook and watched no tape on another team. How could they possible be that clueless? McD's decisions to go for FGs just handed the momentum to the chiefs every time. You are in the championship game VS the best team in the league, VS the MVP at QB. Why the hell are playing so conservative. 2. A few small plays in this game that seemed not so important at the time but I think were huge. Bass's missed PAT. Didn't matter scorewise but psychologically was a bad omen. The missed punch by the KC lineman should have been an ejection and would have really changed their defensive scheme. Singletary's drop was an absolute gut punch. He would have run for 20 yards plus on that play. It just killed their momentum and probably contributed to Josh being even more under pressure and nervous.

Okafor should have been ejected in the first half!!

Game over

It really does have a similar feel!

Why throw that pass? double coverage!!
