Just when you thought that the Bills strategy all along had been to burn the clock and end up with the ball last..........the only real chance they had to win this game.........they come out of the 2 minute warning with a shot play for no reason.
I don't know what game people were watching but the play there was to take small gains, bully their way to a couple more first downs just as they had been doing for most of the game.......and force KC to use up their timeouts.
THEN worry about scoring the touchdown.
I can't understand what they were thinking during that timeout.
Totally appropriate ending to their season though.
Agreed! I don't get it either, so frustrating seeing WR's running across wide open that easily would have been a 1st down and for whatever reason Josh didn't take it smh

Frustrating that James Cook dropped ANOTHER pass that would have likely been a TD. He improved as a RB in his 2nd year obviously, but anyone that still says he's got good hands and is a reliable pass catching RB should get a swift round house kick to the side of the mouth

mahomes played pretty efin good against the dolphins. he stepped it up a notch. i like our chances but ain't betting a penny.
Not to take anything from Mahomes, but Fins just looked like they didn't even want to be there. They didn't look like they were ready compared to the week before against the Bills.
Maybe the Bills snatched out whatever bit of soul they had left? Idk

the rookie has had 6 games played under his belt since the last meeting, 64 has held his own.
I'm not saying he hasn't held his own.

On a Positive note:
KC has played 2 playoff games in our current stadium. Bills won both convincingly
91 Divisional & 93 AFC Championship
Bills 37-14 & Bills 30-13
While that is a fact, unfortunately it means nothing lol

Hope we can do better with Chris Jones this time. Was watching a little bit of the replay of Bills-KC and noticed Jones lined up against the rookie Torrence quite a bit. So Jones took advantage of that and had a pretty big game.

Concern but only because of the injuries. Feel like the offense has found a little confidence and swagger.
But that D has been through hell and back and add in the issues with special teams. It is a lot to overcome.
They can do it! But it’s asking a lot.
I think that says a lot about the job McD has done (even though some may not want to admit it). Through everything this defense has really done well. Credit to Beane also of course.

I'd like to see the Tush Push done to the right this week.
Absolutely!! I mean it's well known Josh always likes going to the left and it's starting to get stopped by defenses.

Why do people still act like the game ended if that play existed. The Bills still had plenty of time to go score again.
YES!! Exactly....They said that on GMF this morning. Talking about only an Offside call away from this game being played in KC. For some reason they apparently believe after that play the clock was on 0 instead of over a minute left with timeouts at the same time fully aware of what Josh Allen has done in that amount of time.
3 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said:Agree but if you look at Mahomes through the years, particularly in the playoffs he's killed teams with his legs as much as JA17 has.
He had 2 carries for 40 yards against the Dolphins and with the prospect of the Bills starting a bunch of backups in the back seven you better believe Reid and Mahomes will attack that, not necessarily with designed runs, but Mahomes taking off for smaller runs of 5-7 yards to get tough yards and 1st downs when needed.
This guy.....

Fallout? Not sure there would be much.
Beane remains GM. McDermott remains HC.
Joe Brady will either be named OC or they'll do a more thorough search. I'd bet on a defensive coordinator being hired, likely Babich or Washington.
The Bills will draft and sign some players. Some players will leave in free agency.
Then they'll line up and play again next year and be top five in Super Bowl odds again, because they're a good team with a good roster and an elite QB. The window is open and will remain open.
Agree with you, there probably won't be any "fallout" at this point considering how they finished the season.
As for the bold, I think Brady has clearly done enough to earn him the OC job. Also not sure they hire DC either because McD has honestly done a pretty damn good job. Who knows though, anything can happen.
-
One of the main things for me (besides all the injuries of course), I'm curious to see how Brady gameplans for KC defense this time. I'd hope since playing them only a few weeks ago that he should have a little better idea finding ways to attack it.
I really don't expect KC to change up how they play defense very much from what they did against Bills few weeks ago because they had success and gave Josh some trouble holding Bills to only 20 points.
Would anyone agree with that?

My only concern is that Tomlin intimidates McDermott like a more successful older brother can do to his kid brother.
What makes you believe that?

Well I disagree with them. I think this is the most physical this team has played in the McD regime. They punch people in the mouth.
Yeah definitely.....honestly with the injuries it's been a bit of a surprise.

Yeah, I am going to cringe everytime Cook gets the ball. Pittsburg is good at causing fumbles and Cook has hands problems.
Agreed. There was a rumor that Cook has great hands and catches really well.

Until the last few weeks, I thought the Steelers were 100% frauds. There is something to be said for eeking out wins in close games, so I have to give them credit for that - but they were one of the luckiest teams in the league to be in the position they were heading into the final weeks.
Since they began starting Rudolph, they've looked like a different team. That concerns me much more than some wind. But I still think they're the best draw in the AFC, and a team we should beat 8x out of 10.
I agree with you here, but although they have improved on offense those couple of games with Rudolph at QB, it's still just 2 games and he had a little bit of a harder time against the Ravens back ups only scoring 17 points on offense. He basically was average (besides that rare 1 slant pass that goes for a TD).

Well, alrighty then. You're entitled to think whatever even if completely wrong.
Anywho, I can't take you serious regarding this particular subject at this point so I'm moving on lol

It's been done with coaches without any head coaching experience. Frazier with the Vikings. Cable with the Raiders. Singletary with the 49ers. All those teams played better initially but all three would be considered failures once they got the permanent gig.
So those 3 is enough names for you to conclude it can't happen?

It's been a while since I got info like this, but here's what I was just told about injuries:
Douglas - Moderate MCL knee sprain. Will almost certainly miss this week and possibly the divisional round too...
Dodson - Tore his left labrum and partially tore his rotator cuff (ouch). Same injury timeline as Douglas.
Rapp - Calf & achilles strain. Not a huge concern.
Almost certainly going to missing Douglas, Dodson, and Davis against the Steelers... Let's hope they can be back the following week.
I understand you're just relaying secondhand info.....but I'd be surprised if Douglas is out considering he remained in pads and could go back in if needed. I guess you never know though,

Just now, Doc Brown said:
They like him just because they hated McDaniels and you get that initial bump with the foundation already in place. I can't recall an interm head coach with no prior head coaching experience ever being successful when hired permanently.
Really!?! You can't honestly believe that? I couldn't disagree more with you here simply because (with all due respect) it's wildly nonsense mixed with sprinkled in silliness.
Absolutely nothing at all to do with McDaniel. They like him because he's shown that whole roster he is the leader they were missing and took advantage of an opportunity proving he can be a HC in this league and it couldn't be more crystal clear.
Regarding the rest of your post, I'm not sure about interim HC's stats when hired permanently off top of my head, but since you mention, it makes me have a small interest enough I will look it up. However, doesn't mean a lot either way, just because you can't recall doesn't mean it can't happen, or has happened.

Harbaugh has the better resume. McDaniels never proved himself as a head coach at any level for those that are comparing the same situation to him and Biscotti. Pierce could very well be their last resort if they can't catch the big fish.
Anyones guess, but I'm not sure about last resort when considering the entire team it seems saying he should be HC

Also Benford was a big loss, Rapp was pretty significant too
