  1. He started off shaky but no I would not say he choked.

     

    I would say it felt the like a lot of this game and the 2nd half of the Ravens game he was largely neutralized.....  to which I blame that on the play calling

    McDermott needs to go or the Bills need to hire a new DC. His Defense has failed 5 games in a row against the other 2 elite passers in the AFC

    Drops: Samuel and Kincaid. Kincaid's drop was the game. You see Chiefs make clutch play after clutch play after clutch play and Kincaid not catching that pass was awful.

    Tush Push: It wasn't effective and you kept going with it. Bills should have audibled into a RPO on the failed 4th and 1 after the Chiefs continued to stuff the Bills. I also hated that the Bills didn't try to force them Offside except once.

     

    2 Point Conversions: Probably wouldn't have mattered but the Bills failed on two 2 points and the Chiefs got 1. Ultimately the Chiefs won by three but the Bills probably punt late in the 4th

    Brady: Too conservative in the playoff games against the Ravens and Chiefs. Why does it never seem like the Bills have players wide open as often as Mahomes, Burrow and Jackson? It's crazy.

    The 2 point conversions between the Bills and Chiefs really was so symbolic IMO of the game.

     

    Once the Chiefs took the lead in the 4th quarter they had a well designed 2 point conversion play where the team was all on the same page.

     

    Contrary to the Bills where they did the stupid Tush Push play on the 1st one and then looked like they were just winging it once they went up 22-21

    @Gugny @Another Fan

     

    Sorry, I completely respect your opinions but we're going to agree to disagree on this one. He absolutely belongs.

     

    1) He struck out a third of all batters he faced which is the highest strikeout rate of any pitcher with at least 900 innings. There have been 1,173 pitchers who have thrown 900 innings in the Live Ball Era (since 1920). He ranks:

     

    - First in batting average allowed (.187; Nolan Ryan is second and Sandy Koufax third).

    - First in strikeout percentage (33.2%; Jacob deGrom is second).

    - Second in WHIP (0.994; deGrom is first).

    - Second in OBP allowed (.262; deGrom is first).

    - Second in OPS allowed (.558; Mariano Rivera is first).

    - Third in lowest slugging (.296; Rivera is first and J.R. Richard second).

     

    2) He allowed hits and baserunners less often than most pitchers. He was historically difficult to hit and also did it in the highest leverage situations until the end of his career.

     

    3) His 2.31 ERA and 0.994 WHIP are the best for a southpaw in the Live Ball Era.

     

    4) He was a seven-time All-Star.

     

    It took him 10 years  because, among other things, his career innings total is the lowest among Hall of Fame relievers, he faced more competition from other closers with 600-plus saves, like Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman, and he wasn't great in the post-season.

    I can't argue your evidence but I did highlight the bolden post-season because that plays a big part IMO in a player's career in consideration for the Hall.  If their teams made it that far.  

     

    To me I don't have a problem with Bill Mazeroski being in the hall of fame even if the rest of his stats don't cut the mustard.  He hit probably the most epic home run in Major League Baseball history.  That to me added significantly to his Hall of Fame Resume.  

     

    I would not have an issue or argument against Eli Manning being a first ballot Hall of Famer either based on his two playoff/Super Bowl runs even if the rest of his stats might not cut the mustard either.

     

     

    To me my first thought about Billy Wagner was he really wasn't a big if any upgrade over Armando Benitez.  Billy and Steve Traschel I thought were the main duds that series, not Carlos Beltran.  

     

    I mean it ultimately is what it is.  Go Bills

    Not going to lie and say a Heath isn't pretty good..not a fan of the Almond Joy.

    Delicious but I don't consider it in the top 3

    Heath bars are good but I feel like I'm about to break my teeth whenever I eat one.

     

    Just an old fashioned cold Hershey's milk chocolate bar for me

     Enough time to not watch the game. I will record and watch if they win. Too much anxiety to enjoy in real time.

    The anxiety and stress is starting to set in for me as well.

     

    But I mean I’ll do Church tomorrow then go to the park, go to my fave hot dog joint before hand.

     

    Stuff to take my mind a bit off it.  

  6. Even though he was a Jet I have a lot of love and respect for Joe Klecko.  Pretty cool to find this online.  A man speaking about his faith.  Also, he mentioned in it the whole protecting the QB started with Tom Brady.
