Your contention is their stuff was all on tape, nothing new (despite Rousseau's comments)...and yet they still shredded us That doesn't bode well for future encounters

I'd suggest he hasn't been paying close enough attention then We've been transitioning to a ball control offense since they canned Dorsey. I'm assuming next season they lean in even further, accomplish less offensively, and then decide to lean back into a more Allen centric model in 2026

I wasn't commenting on whether it was positive or negative, just that the personnel and resultant schemes are a reflection of the HC

I think OP knows, as we all do, that this roster and staff is built in McDermott's image

Rousseau literally said the Chief did things they had never seen before

So we don't count Mahomes and Kelce this it for KC?

😂😂He's an all pro

again- all credit to them for keeping playoff lamar in a hurricane and bo nix ppg down. that's solid analysis

all this work and i could have spared you the trouble- i'll agree our defense is merely poor in the playoffs when considering 'average relative playoff ppg surrendered vs regular season including games played in a hurricane and against bo nix' now we are in full agreement

Yes We have had enough since 2021

you understand allowing 380ypg and 24.8ppg would put you at or near the bottom of NFL defenses, season in season out maybe you don't. either way historically bad playoff defense

is this seriously news to you? this is from last season- adding this seasons performance will cement it further

do i really need to qualify historically bad in the playoffs? should be pretty obvious that's what we've been talking about, yes

at least quote me lol and yes- historically bad Bills defense against the Chiefs in their four playoff losses 17 touchdowns 7 field goals 6 punts 3 end of half kneel-downs 3 end of game kneeldowns 2 turnovers (both fumbles) 1 missed field goal Average points per game: 34.75 Points per drive: 3.56 For the record, the Detroit Lions led the NFL in points per drive at 3.09 in 2024. If you’re keeping score (pun intended), the Bills have allowed 24 scoring drives out of 39 possessions. Take out six kneel-downs and it’s 24 out of 33, for a scoring rate of 72.7% and a touchdown rate of 51.5%. The Chiefs have never had to punt more than twice in any of these postseason meetings and have averaged 34.75 points in their wins. Sunday’s game marked Kansas City’s season high in points scored (32) and tied for a season high in first downs (28).

I know and there's absolutely a fine line I just hate how we always fall on the wrong side of it when we play KC

one game 😂 ok

it begs the question Cowherd brought up yesterday- wouldn't you, as part of a well-prepared staff, at least want to have a different play you've practiced during the regular season and hopefully put on tape if for no other reason than to give the defense something to think about?

hate to be the one to break it to you Defensive efficiency was a major issue for Buffalo Bills The Bills posted a defensive Expected Points Added (EPA) per play of -0.234, which is a poor mark, terrible actually. Not to be outdone by their 46.7% success rate, which was the worst of any team that played in the conference championship, including the Washington Commanders’ defense — which let up 55 points. In fact, it was the worst defensive success rate out of any team, in any game, for the entire playoffs. Bills’ pass defense was historically bad Buffalo’s defensive drop-back success rate was just 31.4% — the worst by a significant margin in any playoff game this season. To put this into perspective, the NFL average during the 2024 regular season was 61.2%. It’s hard to describe how poorly the pass defense played.

How many other teams field a historically bad defense come playoff time? Myles Garrett isn't going to change that

It was a historically efficient season wrt to scoring, yes But imo it was also historically fortunate. Our delta between yards gained-points scored (there's a reason offenses and defenses are typically 'ranked' by yards gained/allowed) was I believe the largest in the league Simply put out scoring output was not commensurate w our yards gained and I would expect significant regression if that season was played 100x...which should make us feel worse, not better. Everything aligned for us this year. In addition to an extremely unlikely amount of points scored wrt yards gained we were also incredibly fortunate in turnover differential. +24 recovering 16fumbles and only losing 2 is unheard of. It was the perfect season variance-wise and we wasted it

Imagine being able to watch that play and blame Allen for the loss having just seen Mahomes throw up a similar prayer that Worthy is able to rip away from Bishop earlier in the game these arent real football takes

they haven't gone to him ALL SEASON in high leverage situations...because he's not that kind of RB and when push comes to shove they don't trust the run game to convert why people are saying he should have got the ball here is beyond me

Ffs please learn more football

Correct And if the team that just got swept then turned around and said 'hey we think we're close' you'd just roll your eyes
