The Jokeman

Dan Marino made One Super Bowl in part he played on teams not good enough. His Dolphin teams never had a Bruce Smith or a Thurman Thomas nor a Terrell Davis. Is Don Shula to blame for that? Let's face it Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones are a better trio than just Josh. That said Kelce looks average this season and KC offense looks suspect and not sure they have the secondary that can match all of weapons. Yesterday makes us pause of the poor defensive play but it was an exception not a rule.

I agree keep Hyde off the field for now.

Problem is Bass hasn't been reliable so if he misses the kicker the game over right there. I agree with the time out after the missed TD on 1st down. That said think clock management inside 3 minutes angered me quite a bit.

He's been one of our weaker defenders all season. Yet he's a former 6th round pick. I'm more upset over invisible Oliver.

They haven't had Puka and Cooper on the field at the same time most of the season.

Pettine and Schwartz had Mario Williams, Hungry Marvell Dareus, Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes. None of our current defensive lineman would start over any of those 4.

Big miss there, if we get first down we might also get a few more yards and have enough time to get in FG range.

Unless Burrow has an off the charts game there is no good reason for JA17 to not get AFC OPOW this week. His 3 rushing TDs alone were more than any other runner in the entire league and is 2nd in rushing yards.

Please tell us who is the coach we don't have that will put us over the hump? Everyone is quick to blame McDermott but have yet to see someone name a coach that is available and would put us over the hump. It's easy to blame coaches but sometimes players have to be accountable, is it the coaches problem that our LS got pushed aside like a rag doll? Was it the coach that made Ingram "hold" on 3rd down? Did a coach cause the refs to miss an obvious false start on 4th down? McDermott had poor clock management at the end as I was screaming for us to call timeout before the two minute warning but that said it was a team loss both from the players and refs. Josh was great most of the game but his slow start wasn't helpful either. As early on he was clearly not the calm self we've seen most of this season, Tom Brady mentioned he was taking things that weren't there etc. Sure he came back from it but it did put us in what turned out an unfermentable hole.

I didn't wear my black Buffalo Bills baseball hat this week because of the winter weather.

Chiefs are playing with house money right now, the law of averages say they're going to lose one of these games sooner than later. Whether it be in the regular season or the post season. I'm honestly not afraid if we have to play them in the playoffs.

And we lost by 2.

Stafford is a debatable HOF, Macias and KIPP are too end WRs and their RB was like 4th in rushing coming into the game. That offense hasn't been healthy all season until today.

Like most I'd assume McVey would go for the FG.

It's a double edged sword. If we want to blame anyone let's blame the STs, blocked punts for TDs are inexcusable.

Let's see what happens tonight.

1.5 games back of Chiefs.

I agree the defense was putrid but if the offense holds the ball more in 1st half maybe the defense doesn't give up 37, let's not forget 7 goes against the ST.

Benford did but the refs gave him a penalty for it unlike their DB pulling our guys jersey.

The offense played bad early. Sure we put up 42 but Josh started slow and not sure where Ray Davis disappeared to.

If the refs called false start on the second 4th down we easily could see a different outcome. Just sayin' I know McDermott going to get hate but I think making it 3rd and 17 made sense at the time.

Kudos to Josh on a great game. The defense and special teams did you no favors.

Na it was lost when the refs missed the false starts on the Rams on 4th down.

And had no barring on outcome of game.

Why? It worked most of the game
