  1. Saying Josh Allen choked is kind of ridiculous.   However any criticism of Josh Allen results in pitch forks back at whoever said such a thing....the masses will breakdown the decision or play and try to mansplain why it was the perfect action or decision and others are always to blame.  He had turnover worthy moments that did not result in turnovers..  Patrick Mahomes also had turnover worthy moments, one of which resulted in a actual turnover.   My point is Josh Allen is great, we should all be happy but it is also ok to say this play was not his best for the following reason.

     

    The game was close, it came down to a couple crucial plays/calls by the refs.  The way this works nationally though is what it is, it is Josh Allen losing to Patrick Mahomes....just like it was Manning beating Brady in 3 of their 5 playoff matchups.  Mahomes is 4-0 vs Allen.  The last two Josh got the ball with 3+ minutes left and timeouts down by 3, both efforts resulted in 0 points....it sucks.   There are reasons beyond Allen and Mahomes that made it that way but that will not be what gets discussed.

  2. Lets work on another play maybe........it was embarrassing to watch them run it unsuccessfully over and over and I dont think this would have made a difference.

    You cannot compare stats between eras because of the rule changes.  In Kemp’s era defensive backs had a lot more freedom.  The average one on one coverage back then would draw a flag for unnecessary roughness today.

     

    I wish people who are not old enough to have watched the AFL would quit dismissing their teams and players.  No Kemp may not have been the physical specimen Allen is, and no I am not saying Kemp was better by any means.  But Kemp was an excellent QB.  He had a very strong arm, could run, and was an excellent leader. 

    Allen puts up more stats in his era than Kelly did in his.  That is the point. Kemp was 3 score and 4 years ago.   Almost nothing can actually be compared to that.

    Once in regulation and why are you trying to say our defense played well.  What’s the point you’re trying to make? 

    Can you quote where I said the defense played well?  I actually just made a joke/sarcastic post becuase you meant to say the Chiefs never score "more than 30 points"  but go on with your narrative making........

    ‘Best game’ is kind of subjective…given the opponent and the environment I really thought he was great.  They lit the chiefs up even though the chiefs had a couple extra key defensive players for this one compared to the regular season.  I think this narrative being pushed is entirely based on him looking a little lost on the first drive 

    And getting the ball with 3 minutes left down 3, failing to convert....Baldy broke it down, failure to recognize what was happening presnap, not that it was easy but it was there to be figured out.  At the end of the day it was a well played game by both teams and the Chiefs made one more play.  The third down on that drive...the bubble to Cooper could have been a big gainer if he can shake out of that tackle.  So many little things

    That’s a nonsensical take because he doesn’t call his own plays and on short yardage plays that turned the game, QB sneaks to the left was unsuccessful 4 times. Josh pulled 29 pts out of his rear end without a #1 or #2 receiver and Kincaid dropped a catchable ball to tie or win the game. KC never scored 30 all season until yesterday. Josh had 2TDs with a 105 passer rating and no TOs. The defense let KC march down the field for 2 scores on their last 2 possessions for 11 points after we took the lead 22-21, but Josh chocked according to dayman.

    A lot of those were really low percentage turnover chances that people are exaggerating imo.  That first series he threw an absolute rocket behind the defender no one is catching that. You’re probably not losing a fumble that you are falling right on top of momentum wise either on those Davis run/josh sneak fumbles.  Only one that truly looked like kc had a legitimate shot at was the strip but Allen made a great play scooping it before a kc defender could even get there so I wouldn’t even call that luck 

     

    not to mention, the second low ish percentage INT chance on the first drive doesn’t even happen if they intercept the first, and if they turn it over there what does it even change?  Bills punted and kc scored a td 

     

     

    Even though I said what I said, I dont believe the premise of this thread that "Josh choked".  But he did not have his best game.  Mahomes had turnover worthy plays also.

    No but if we score a TD every time Josh steps on the field, we can't lose.

    Which is totally realistic.  I mean even though they broke the team record for points and points per game this year they were only second in the NFL in points scored.  It is a major problem

    he did not have Shakir for first down. this frame is right before the pass rush flushes Allen...what you are advocating for is a lateral 12 yards behind the LOS to a guy that needs to get 15 yards on 4th and 5. there is no chance that he gets there

    After watch Baldinger's breakddown I agree  with you.  When I saw in real time I thought he had it.  The real issue here is not figuring out what was coming pressnap.

    Again they're not "interceptions"unless the DB's hold on to the ball and the fumbles were not lost.  I just don't get the obsession with "turnover worthy" plays.  It's a ridiculous stat that might only be useful if we could travel between alternate universes.

     

    Allen did not play an elite game but he did play a great game. If you replay this game with Allen playing exactly how he played last night but the defense played better or the O line played better or the receivers played better the Bills win and are going to the Super Bowl.

     

     

    The point about turnover worthy plays is not be be obsessed, you do it because one game is a small sample size and sometimes you get a better view on performance than looking deeper than just the stats.   You play the game again, you likely have turnovers.

  11. The Chiefs were geared up for it, they stopped it or greatly limited progress every time.

     

    The decision to take the XP off the board and take the 2 point try was aggressive but probably the right move analytically.  However, QB sneak is your best play there?  You have to get an entire yard....Did not like it in the moment.  

     

    Then in the second half up by one with the ball, they ran it I think 4 times out of like 8 plays, none of them were particularly successful yet they just kept at it.  After the third down, I was like roll him out and give him options, nope lets do it again.  Josh new they were stopping them so he did the leap over the pile move at midfield which was a bad move, you are fumbling there, he did, they got it back but that should have been enough for Brady and McDermott to step in and put an end to it.  Nope lets do it again....this time its super close and we blame the refs....I think he got it but the call to do it again was way worse than anything the refs did there.  That play turned the game.  That was a turnover that KC needed.

  12. Upon reflection, it is true Josh did not play his best.  He was super jittery on the first drive and he had the orbit motion on 4th down, it was there.  He was hitting that in the regular season but the best way to beat any QB is to speed up their decision making process.  As soon as he looked away from Shakir, it was over.  Even then he made an incredible effort to get the ball to somewhere someone could catch it.  And it should have been an easy catch albeit non standard.  The OL was not great, Kincaid was not great.  Elam was not great.  Yes Josh could have been better but we can say that about many other players also.  You don't see the poor play in Josh's numbers but he had three fumbles, two interceptable passes and he was not figuring it out presnap like he has the rest of the year.   

     

    His decision to extend the ball over the line on the first 4th down was poor, that was almost guaranteed to be a fumble, it was, luckily they got it back only to fail on a QB sneak 4 plays later.

     I get it. It's tough because you look at the Chiefs drafts and they have so many more massive hits than misses. Is that because they know they're taking a stud Jaylen Watson in the 7th round/ LaJarius Sneed in the 4th round or because they know how to coach them up/put them in the best spot to succeed. If they took Elam, for example, and he turned into an above average corner, it wouldn't surprise me.

    I would love to an actual unbiased breakdown of all picks/FA's from Bills, Chiefs, Steelers and whatever other teams have had the same regime over the last 7 years.  People love to do their cherry picking.  Not saying anything is or is not true but I have never seen a good breakdown of GM's over time.   After a loss fans get negative and find problems in everything.

    I'll take him over MCD in a hot second.

     

    I'm sure he could find a babbich level talent to produce historically bad ds in the playoffs (or even just plain bad, which would be an upgrade over our current loser) and not be Brady level dumb (or pass every down and let Barkley go smart like daboll, or bombs away Dorsey, remember those winners?) and have some kind of answer vs the blitz.

     

    McCarthy is a kinda dumb corch, but he got that back up guy to a winning record this season, in the division with the two NFC finalists.  What evidence is there that he's not better than MCD?  He lost better in more confence chips than mcd

    Good thing this is not happening.

    I'd take the guy the cowboys just let go over MCD.  He has a ring and got a dumpster fire in Dallas to compete.

     

    Beane should go too.

     

    Zero wr talent w the best QB, right ends suck, we got away from the run, d is constantly cheeks.

     

    How can a team hope to win a chip over KC with flipping babbich and Brady as coordinators?  These guys are chumps, no resume for either of them.

    McCarthy blows.  That would be a downgrade.

    Yeah the QB sneak was the difference in the game in my opinion. You can always look at a million things, but our inability to execute a simple play is why we lost. 

    Right but that is not on Josh.
