sorry but nothing they did in this game equates to “finding a way to win” This was akin to a movie where the hero just so happens to have an abandoned truck next to him with a loaded gun in it when the villain tries to escape with a small motor boat near the truck and the hero with no military training snipes the villain in one shot while he motors away at a distance. The refs decidedly gave KC the game. If they call the proper penalty of a false start, it’s a dead ball and remains Raiders ball. By claiming a illegal motion they can claim it’s a live ball foul while also ignoring the whistles that came in prior to the ball even being recovered.

Some are fine, some…. Far from it. You can preach about how KC suddenly woke up in the playoffs all you want but you can’t do that year after year and expect to win. You can’t assume it will happen again and that all other teams will seemingly get crippled by injuries before you play them in the playoffs while you stay mostly healthy. Kelce is a future hall of famer but any TE with a pulse could have been effective against Klein with Mahomes under center. With Milano and Bernard playing, the game isn’t an easy cakewalk or anything, but we would be far more likely to see the Bills on the winning side. We were quite literally playing a guy we pulled off a beach hammock and a banged up Tyrel Dodson and had to try and scheme a way to keep Kelce + from destroying us entirely. Add to that we had our 2CB out and our 1CB playing on one leg as well as a banged up legends safety corp. Last year reminded me of 05-06 with the Sabres. We didn’t lose due to our play as much as our defense was decimated to a point where it made a game/series we should have had a slight advantage in, a loss. And that’s not to take anything away from the Chiefs or Hurricanes own injuries but in both cases our teams were hit with injuries specifically to one spot and then drilled into further by more injuries to the spot. The Sabres that year were using their 11th defenseman on the depth chart and possibly their 12th. The Bills had their 3rd and 6th LBs out there.

Obviously it was a tribute to Coach McDermott

This is the reverse of the 13 second game offensive highlight reel

Does either team want to win?

Bloody hell Chargers

Incredible no call there

I just don't get it to be honest

Tennessee should be black balled for trading Hopkins to KC

Didn’t they just do that last week lol?

Garrett's a great player but not worth 2 1sts; he has far too many red flags on his character just for starters. I'd be looking for a cheap vet DT to fill Carter's hole and cover for any future injury to Oliver or Jones Look into Buddha Baker but safety is generally ok but we may need more big play ability if our LBs keep ending up hurt.

Was nodding along until you made the stupid statement about Allen's window closing

Why do kickers just suck in general; it's like borderline impossible to find reliable kickers minus a handful.

Price seems a bit heavy but his contract is likely the big reason. If he can bounce back to his abilities of last season; we'll have a legitimate 1WR. Just adding him does bring some clout to our WR corp. Cooper should be highly motivated seeing as he'll be looking to keep playing one would assume and he started this year rather bad.

If we want a new WR threat, we have to keep Bass until the end of the season

We sort of won in spite of it based on the end of the half.

Both the D and McDermott are at fault for that. The D for their lack of execution and McD for somehow not learning after all this time how to protect anything on short time constraint in desperation situations

While his hand heals he can’t use his left hand to stiff arm or really fight through tacklers. So he’s effectively left with either sliding or going out of bounds.

It is possible to to pass out without a concussion occasionally. My brother was tripped inadvertently at a friendly skate and went head first into the dasher of the boards and got a nasty cut as well as being knocked out briefly. The ambulance and the hospital both concluded he hadn't got a concussion. So in rare cases it is possible.

I guess the best way to describe it would be, the throw prevented a touchdown, Hollins made the play entirely worthless. Essentially even with a bad placement he still had ample opportunity to at very least catch the ball

I'd still put more blame on Hollins on the long pass than you are but besides that you are spot on. with the play breakdowns. Could Allen's throw been a bit better, sure, but as an NFL receiver you need to be able to adjust and track the ball better. The fact he got his hands on it tells me the ball wasn't exactly badly overthrown. Overthrown, yes, but not by any large degree. Plus we have all seen when Allen overshoots a guy and this ball had plenty of air to make a slight adjustment and make an easy catch.

He put a lot of touch on it and likely thought the safety would catch him akin to the 2nd to last offensive play.

The rule of thumb is to throw away from the safety regardless; we had this same argument in the reverse over a Gabe Davis throw for a touchdown where the two were on different pages.

You can't underthrow and overthrow the ball on the same pass. Was it a perfect throw, no, but rarely does any throw have zero work for the receiver to do. Additionally the farther the throw, the more the receiver is likely to need to do something.

I sort of agree however Allen's first couple years he had a solid number of great long passes. In my opinion his long range throws are off due to a combination of overthinking or overpowering the ball combined with a lack of catches when he does make a pinpoint throw. Essentially, Allen might overthrow or underthrow a deep route, the next time he tries he'll adjust accordingly. On try 3, let's say, he throws a perfect arc to his receiver who proceeds to drop it. (Diggs, Davis, Hollins, the list is rather long) With the drop Allen feels the need to even further adjust to make the catch even easier and thus falls back into over/under throwing the receiver and the cycle continues.
