I mean if you look at most teams this deep in the playoffs, they all have to play perfect games

I was actually thinking about this today. You need to cage your players brains on what strategy to execute. I completely agree with this assessment and really believed we would have won the game on a TD if he threw to Diggs, gets the first at that point.

I feel really disappointed. But I’m not mad because A) the refs didn’t screw us. I thought it was a well called game outside that one DPI on Williams B) there wasn’t one player or decision by coaches that absolutely torpedoed us. We just got beat. Our best player didn’t make a play when we needed it most. And it sucks, but I’d rather it be because Josh didn’t make the play instead of some fluky play or something like 13 seconds.

Regardless of the cap hit, if he struggles in camp you can’t go into the season with him. I have a feeling he will not be starting for us week 1. I think we are gonna hope he gets better in the off-season, he won’t, and we will sign a cheap guy who was just cut by another team right before the season starts.

I think if you look at times where we chose to punt over kicking a FG, to me that shows lack of confidence in bass. Bass has also had some brutal misses this year. his numbers are bad, his actual kicking looks bad, and he doesn’t have the confidence from his teammates anymore. Gotta get rid of him

I think we need to draft a kicker. Bass needs to go. I don’t think he will mentally recover from this.

I think my comment is pretty fair. The Shakir pass was obviously not a sure thing and Josh did get pushed from behind. I think the motion with Diggs made it obvious he should have been the go-to guy cause he was wide open from the snap. Take the sure play.

The point the guy is trying to make is do we really want Mahomes having the ball with 1:55 and two timeouts to drive for a TD on our defense that was gashed regularly tonight? If Khalil was by himself and it was an easy throw I’d take the Td. But he wasn’t. And josh didn’t have a clean pocket. He should have felt that pressure and thrown it to Diggs. Yeah we probably don’t get a TD on that play. But, we move the chains, kill clock / KC TOs, and place ourselves in a great spot to score a TD. Worst case scenario we take an easier FG when only about 1:00 minute remains on the clock and KC is out of TOs. The smart play was to Diggs IMO. That’s why Brady was so good, he always took the smart, high percentage plays having SA to the follow-on implications.

Sad thing is next year the defense is gonna be decimated by age and the effects of the salary cap. It’s scary to think we can potentially have Hamlin and Cam Lewis starting at safety next year.

Agree on Shakir. Kinda reminding me of victor Cruz in his prime but better. It sucks Diggs has such a big dead cap hit next year because i think at this point he is done. I would love to cut him or trade him but obviously the financial ramifications don’t allow for it. His hands just aren’t trustworthy and he isn’t elite anymore. He’s a middling number 1 WR.

McD is the Marvin Lewis of the divisional round.

Agreed big time Bob. You know your defense is floundering. Why run that play? Let your best player try and get you five yards. If he fails, so be it.

Definitely not with Sean. But even Josh sometimes has stinker plays that end up costing us. The 2nd and 9 no throw to Diggs on the last drive comes to mind. That is pitch and catch. You have to take that all day unless someone is uncovered in the end zone

Cook dropped TD we ended up getting a TD anyways so I’ll discount that. but yes, josh taking that crosser gets the first, eats up clock or forces KC to take a TO, and puts us in a great position to get a TD. Josh played extremely well, but that singular play stands out to me as the blemish on his night tonight

Josh missed the wide open crosser to Diggs on 2nd and 9 on the last drive. If he hits that, I think we end up winning that game. Other than that, Josh was elite tonight

Diggs dropping that bomb. We end of punting in that drive. No points scored. We probably (maybe?) get at least three there if caught. This is the one that kills me the most. Josh missing the crossing route to Diggs there on the last drive on 2nd and 9. If caught, Diggs definitely gets a first and probably goes down around the 10. It’s plays like these that made a Brady great cause he would see it, take the easy, high percentage, throw and keep the chains moving and the clock ticking. I honestly think at this point Josh will never get us over the hump because of either his inability to see plays like that or unwillingness to take the easy dump off even at crunch time. Bass missing the FG at the end. Statistically Bass has been one of the worst kickers this season. I’ve been harping about it since the beginning of December. McD simply never trusted him the second half of the season. Last week was a giant flashing sign saying “don’t trust bass!” that McD didn’t heed. Even his XPs tonight were barely eeking in between the uprights. Now I understand if we make that FG, the chiefs still have a lot of time and two TOs, but missing it guaranteed we would lose.

Bass needs to get cut.

Gotta cut him. He’s done.

Can’t believe josh didn’t hit Diggs on the crosser. It was so wide open

Sherfield is absolutely worthless as a WR. Only catch he made all season was against the dolphins

I do. Let josh have the ball

Would rather josh on the field. So stupid.

That’s probably game

I think we are in four down territory. If we don’t score every possession, we lose cause our defense can’t stop squat

Thank God KC isn’t going for 2 here
