He's a perfect 5th WR on this team. Quite honestly, I am satisfied with the bottom of our WR corps. WR3 (Slot) - Shakir - Perfect slot guy and he may be one of the best slots in the entire league. WR4 - Coleman - I said it when we drafted him and, even though he just finished his rookie season, I don't see him ever being a go to guy. He just can't get open, but he can make the occassional big play and can fill a depth role for the team. Way overdrafted, though. WR5 - Hollins - Great dude, solid player, and a great teammate. Perfect depth WR to have on your roster WR6 - Samuel - Got better down the stretch, but battle injuries the entire year. With the way his contract is set, I think he's on this team for at least 1 more year. He's talented enough, though, and you can do much worse at depth WR. So, that leaves some glaring holes at WR1 and WR2. I know the Bills really wanted Coleman to be that dude for them, but I just don't ever see it happening. He never creates separation and jump balls are harder to win in the NFL. Even if he does improve, I don't see him as any better than a low end WR2 at best. But like I said above, he is a nice depth piece to have. Where do we find that WR1 and WR2? I have no idea. I mean, you have to start with the draft and see if there is a guy you can target there, but we are once again way down the draft board to probably add a top talent. But we are in desperate need of 2 guys with some speed and separation ability. Because, as of right now, we have nobody on this team, aside from maybe Shakir, that is going to win immediately off the line and we don't have a true downfield threat to take the top off of defenses. I mean, I am not the biggest fan of Worthy, but tonight was a great example why you take him over a guy like Coleman. You can manufacture so much with a guy like that. All he needs is a crease and he's running wide open. Even if he never improves, you can still count on him as a solid WR2 that will make some solid plays for you every game and use his speed to open up others on the field. Again, this is not about Worthy......it's more about finding a guy or 2 like that, preferably a little bigger, that add some speed and separation ability to this offense. As much as I like Cooper and his unselfishness, we need to get younger and faster outside and find a way to get Allen some explosive weapons.

The offensive line picked a lousy day to have their worst game of the season. Going into this game, that was one unit that never crossed my mind as being a primary reason we would lose this game. The group as a whole had their worst game of the year, but man.....Brown really let me down tonight. He was brutal out there.

Out-coached once again as McDermott proves once again he is not a big game coach. Outplayed for much of the game, yet, with the game on the line, and an all out jail break in his face, Allen puts a ball on the money only for Kincaid to drop the ball. Just once I want someone on this team to step up and make a play besides Allen. Allen wasn't perfect tonight as he obviously needed to be, but in the moment where he needed to be a miracle worker, he delivered an almost impossible ball only for his target to not make the play. Was it an easy catch? No. But I like Kincaid and I hold that guy to a high standard. That's a catch he needs to make and I am sure he would tell you the same. I have a lot of issues with this game. Some to do with coaching. Some to do with the players. And, of course as we all knew would happen, I have some major issues with the refs (there were at least 3 bogus spots that cost us big time. Who knows, that last one may have cost us the game). But man.....I just don't have it in me right now. There have been games I have absolutely thought we were the better team in and deserved to win. Tonight, with the way we played, and the way this game was coached, we were kind of lucky to even be in the game with a chance. It's frustrating and aggravating because going into this season, the expectations were not super high for us. We let 10 starters go and we had $70+ million in dead cap space. We couldn't sign anyone and couldn't improve the team at all. Heck, most didn't have us even making the Playoffs. But here we are again, one game away from the Super Bowl with an inferior roster in a lot of ways, and we are living and dying with this team. It's probably unfair to them in a lot of ways because by all accounts, we overachieved this season. Just watching them this year you could see how obvious it was that we need 2 WRs with some actual speed and separation ability (outside of Shakir, we have nobody that ever gets open consistently. Everything is tightly covered with pretty much every WR on this team. Get me some guys that can win off the line). We are in desperate need of a dominant 1-tech. Our safeties are a weak spot and we can't generate a consistent pass rush. We saw it all season and we saw it tonight. So we knew we were a flawed team all year, but they always found a way to hide those inadequacies just enough to keep winning. Unfortunately, that is no conciliation and it just really hurts. Will we have a better roster next season because we will actually have some money to spend? Probably.....but situations change and you never know what injuries you are going to have. That's why, when you are in this situation, whether you should be there or not, you have to take advantage of it. And we didn't tonight. Hopefully, we'll get another shot at it at some point. Most likely, if we stay healthy, we'll have a shot to be right back in this game next season, but nothing is guaranteed and I am just sick and tired of waiting for next year.

Allen will get the blame, but he put that ball on the money in the face of an all out jailbreak. Kincaid just dropped the ball.......

HE FREAKING DROPPED THE BALL........

Usually in these situations, we come out with the most uninspired play call ever. We need, not only our best play call, but we need the best execution.

Nice pick....

We've all been watching this game. The fact that we are tied with them is absolutely amazing. We have been outplayed and out coached the entire game, yet here we are once again. But these are the games we never seem to end up winning. Usually when we get out played like this but hang in there, we always come up short. I mean, we have all seen this movie and the ending never changes. It's time we get the director's cut. But it is going to be on the defense to hold them out of the endzone.

The game isn't over yet even though it kind of feels like it. But the same thing that has been true every time we play them has remained true today. They have Chris Jones and we don't...... That and Reid vs McDermott are the difference.

He got it, but they will mark him short. Would bet the house on it.

I know they have stopped in a couple times now, but I am still running the tush push here needing a foot......

Ugh..... we had the chance again on 2nd and short to try a play action and we run every single time. The defense at this point is just cheating up because we never throw in that situation.

We are really set up to take a play action shot at some point, but for whatever reason, Brady hates play action. It's the biggest problem I have with him. But hey....whatever gets us in end zone for a TD. That's what we need right now.

Whelp......the defense is giving the offense a chance. Gotta keep fighting!!!

We keep scratching and clawing........ Still seems like we are carrying a boulder up a mountain, though. I just don't know if we are going to have enough in the tank.

Beautiful play call

That was a terrible spot......

Tush push it 3 times if you need to......

Hit them with a play action shot!!!

Roll Allen out and give him a run/pass option.....

Oliver held around the neck, no call...... But hey, why call a penalty on KC? I don't have the box score in front of me, but the only flag on KC I remember seeing was on the Hollins catch after he had already caught the ball anyway.

That pitch to Samuel was almost there. Good play by the Chiefs defender to make sure he didn't walk in. Hey look. That was the worst half of football that we have played probably since that Houston game. We killed ourselves with missed opportunities, bad penalties, and an overall terrible scheme...... And we're a TD away from taking the lead. Do I think we are going to win? No. We look completely outmatched on defense and our offensive line is having their worst game of the season. I don't think we are going to get enough stops on defense to be able to keep it close. But hey.....they have a chance to prove me wrong. I think if we were all told we would score 16-17 points in the first half (over a 30 point pace) we would have probably taken it. But once again, against a team that hasn't scored over 30 all season, our defense just can't get off the field. It will be shocking to even see their punter in this game the way it is going. Going to be almost an impossible task to win this game, but hey.....hopefully we keep fighting back and find a way. But, it is clear who has the more talented roster and the better coaching staff and it isn't us.

It is what it is....the TD was the main thing there. We're getting outplayed and out coached in every aspect of this game and we're only down 1 score providing the defense can get into halftime without giving up anything. That's a big "if", though......

Wow..... Hollins.... What a throw and what a catch!

2 running plays in a row? Down 11 with under a minute..... Insane.
