The line judge who also spotted the ball a yard differently from the side judge Also is in charge of calling Offside or neutral zone infraction On the tush push Kansas City had a defender clearly lined up in the neutral zone in clear direction of the line judge who refused to call that.. then had a spot a yard different than the side judge He literally had two mistakes on one play.. NFL officials should never be a yard off when the two are spotting.. and they definitely shouldn't miss a helmet in the neutral zone on fourth down

They're not even close And yeah Jackson is one of the best deep threats in NFL history.. Worthy is a one speed pony.. he literally has none of the nuance or change of pace ability that Jackson has He's just really fast

Diggs doesn't have the burners though He's fast enough not super fast for the NFL

I just said there are multiple no calls on both sides throughout the game I watched the game three times There are terrible spots in all four quarters for the bills.. I did not see a bad spot for the Chiefs in the same vein I did see some no calls where they could have called The penalty on the bills but they didn't.. I'm not being biased when I did not see one bad spot for the chiefs The spotting was out of whack from the first quarter for the bills

There's a lot of debate about what type of guy Josh needs... A big physical freak like DK... A Jamar Chase etc Look what Josh did with John Brown.. arguably our offense , passing wise has never been the same since Brown left He was much better than Gabe, reliable hands good route runner and burner DeSean Jackson mold is the exact type guy we need to get Josh.. whether it's in the draft or getting a chase like guy I made a thread here years ago about wide receiver nuance in the route running.. about how the best have varied speeds in the route running.. they don't just all run full speed throughout the route that's easy to actually stop Need nuance, change of pace, leverage Watch DeSean Jackson in the clip up top.. going through multiple speeds in his route... Setting up and leveraging the safety just to go from 12 miles an hour to 22 in an instant That's real savvy route running with great speed A prime DeShaun Jackson would turn Josh unstoppable... I definitely would take Chase over DK because of route saviness and I hope we get get Josh a savvy route runner with some Wheels because that will take our offense and josh to another level

There are missed penalties on both sides of the ball throughout the game but spotting a ball is an absolutely critical part to football that nobody talks about 100% Chiefs had good spots while the bills had 7 or eight maybe even 9 iffy spots throughout the game That's a way to control the game 100% especially in a game of inches don't kid yourself

Or they need to worry more about mahomes's legs in the postseason which would be a starter for me He's not going to throw for 450 yd in the postseason versus us.. you need to take away those 45 50 rushing yards that moves the chains That's the one thing we've never been able to stop Patrick mahomes legs But we can limit Lamar Jackson.. it comes down to the players not thinking he can beat them with their legs when he's one of the best improvisers in NFL history

Same thing that maybe Greg Russo should have been paying attention to LOL The Kansas City Chiefs have had the same play calls on tape for three postseasons All the rollouts.. all the misdirection... All the pockets shifted right it's all on tape So when Greg says I haven't seen it he's just lying through his teeth because he took the inside route and got washed

I would say that's the opposite.. if they were playing cover one man on first and 10 it would be a change We've been going cover one man on 3rd and long for 3 years We go combination coverage or cover three shells early.. cover one on third down Were heavily man on 3rd.. more zone dependent on the first two downs.. we just played a little bit more man early McD is Super man dependent on 3rd and passing for 3 years

The bills have been becoming more man focused the last 4 years under McD Cover one on third down in passing situations has been our biggest usage 3rd and passing we go cover one man.. every coach knows that We're heavy zone on first down and some second... Heavy man on 3rd in passing situations

You could find every single play on tape for the Chiefs in the last three seasons lol All of those stretch rollouts are on film that they beat us with on third and short.. all of their rolling rights are on film First of all professional football is 100 years old there are no new play calls.. everything has been used Second.. the Chiefs did not do anything new.. you could have watched film from the last 4 years and seeing those plays Just because they didn't run them week 1 through 17 doesn't mean they're not in their bag Which was also hyperbole Six play calls is not a big deviation If it was 18 play calls.. triple what you see, it would be a big deviation Six play calls is basically one per drive

It's one thing if you're heavy zone you becomes 80% man 20% zone Sean McDermott playing 46% man coverage compared to his regular season totals is about 6 more man calls In the grand scheme of things 6 more man calls isn't surprising to any NFL level coach That's not a far deviation.. we've been begging Sean McDermott to play more type man coverage for 6 years Damned if you do damned if you don't

Sean McDermott has been heavy zone for a decade plus as a play caller One game doesn't make a history one game doesn't make it a habit Heavy man for Sean McDermott is going from 65 zone 35 man.. to 55 zone 45 man ... The bills are ready for everything the chiefs defense has too lol The difference is they had a great play called on our last offensive play.. bills also had some great defensive calls just wasn't at as critical of the time We're basically divisional rivals we know and have seen every call It's who blinks.. they aren't showing any wrinkle we haven't seen and vice versa

Except.. 95% of this board was sick and tired of McDermott's "soft" zone coverage Begging for more man-to-man And he ran more man to man this year than he ever has More complaints People complain when he runs zone people complain when he runs man

I didn't say we have zero talent We don't have supreme talents We don't have two or three Hall of Fame players who are in their prime We have more talent than 80% of the league... But we don't have a lot of super high end talent talent We have a lot of good to really good And I'm pretty sure if you read what I said I'm saying Sean McDermott is a really good coach who maximizes what we have not that he's doing less with more He's a world-class developer who isn't getting enough to develop

Sean McDermott maximizes talent 100% I won't even debate it he's a world class developer... It's the jimmies and Joe's not Xs and Os McDermott scheme is complicated world class and far from vanilla

Lots of nda I couldn't talk about certain booster stuff for a long time because nda The NFL is a bigger animal

It really doesn't work like that.. they don't have that many that they could just have guys looking at D line They have a few blesto scouts watching underclassmen They have like 3 area scouts... A few other college scouts and a director of college scouting And that's a big NFL group

Yep doesn't surprise me

That has nothing to do with it Dion dawkins thinks he could win lol These guys have massive egos yeah they think they can win

Well I played on a bad division 1 football team and yeah all 125 kids every year came in thinking we could win the division Of course pros think they can win they have massive egos

Ummm you act like we lost by 35 Yeah the players think they could beat the Chiefs The players on the Titans think they can beat the Chiefs and they have the number one pick These are professional athletes they have egos

Technically the GM brings in the players We all can have our opinion about who's really running the show but at the end of the day Sean McDermott's not the GM like Bill belichick was Sean McDermott doesn't watch enough college football to be knocking down the door for Dwayne Carter ... And they have pro personnel guys to tell them who the best available guys are in the pros He listens to the people around him He is not the footballs czar.. Brandon Beane is the general manager in charge of bringing in players even if McDermott and him talk he has to bring in the best players

I implore you to listen to Tom Brady breakdown McDermott scheme or romo or any person Nobody in the world does what Sean does in the back half consistently It's easy to convert 3rd and long when your front four doesn't get home that's what it comes back to

Any single player who played football at a high level knows Sean McDermott has the most complex coverage scheme in the world Sean McDermott does things in the back end that are at the forefront revolutionary and complex He's not running some vanilla scheme.. we don't have a Hall of Fame defensive lineman wrecking lines we have a Hall of famer coming off a torn muscle The front doesn't get home consistently enough but at the end of the day that's on the guys.. groot and AJ and DJ and all eight guys need to bring more in a winner take all game
