I'm right at 50/50 on this weekend. Obviously, this is a tough game. The #1 seed/defending champs, going to their place, overcoming some psychology related to our 0-3 record in the playoffs against them. I think the teams are pretty even, and it will probably come down to getting a break or 2 for whichever team wins.
If we win this weekend, I think we win it all. The NFC teams just don't scare me.

Hate this scheme so very much!! Can't allow QB and receivers to run around all day. They'll eventually get open
Felt like Lamar could have taken 10 more seconds on that play. No one was getting close.
It's the old saying - the prevent D prevents winning. We got lucky w/ that 2-pointer. We should have been more aggressive before that.

Listen to locked on chiefs and it's pretty comical.. They are claiming :
-Last meeting between these teams, chiefs played the most vanilla game on purpose
-Kept talking about how Andy Reid didn't show anything last week against the Texans on purpose as well
-Also said Hopkins only played 16 snaps last week because they had that game well in hand and they were saving him.
Note^... It was 13-12 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter... lol
Man, is that detached from reality.

All I know is 2021 AFCCG; this absolutely KILLLLLLEDDDDDDDDD us twofold:
1. Not only were Chiefs cool with holding the living hell out of our WR's. Our WR's were small. J Brown, Cole & Diggs. Couldnt get off their man
2. Our Secondary Group were playing like choir boys, trying not to get flagged.... when refs had clearly illustrated THEY DIDNT EVEN OWN THEM
This WR group is built much better for these types of holds. I see no reason KC doesnt start the game aggressively challenging refs to see what they can get away with. Interesting battle.
I hope our WR's and Secondary are practicing for this. We want our guys coached up to hold and grab until flags start flying and we can re-assess. They should be practicing how to hold in a discreet manner.... hell. Hire an old retired ref to consult them the proper way to conceal, and what a playoff hold looks like. Have refs there to simulate this in scrimmage. Coach our WR's to play through it, no flopping. Seems like they punish guys who dont work through the hold as best as they can, by not throwing the flag.
For what to NOT do; reference the way Oliver handled that goalline play vs Baltimore looking for a flag. Work through it; show the refs you earned it and did everything you could to overcome the penalty AND make the play
People also forget how banged up that WR group was. Beasley had a broken leg. Diggs had an oblique. Davis & Brown had knee and ankle injuries, respectively.
Combine that w/ the refs allowing a lot of contact, and they really didn't have much of a chance.

Man, Allen is great w/ the media. He always says all the right things, but without it sounding insincere like some other guys do. He never even provides a word that an opposing team could use for motivation.

It seems obvious to over-cover Kelce - and I scream that at teams every time I watch them play KC - but I'm also worried about their speed guys, Brown & Worthy. They can really stretch the field.
-
I have been a fan of Clark in the past - but he was SO OVER THE TOP after the playoff loss last year about Allen.
I lost a lot of respect. I'm sure that doesn't bother him, but I usually change the channels when he's on now.

The psychology of this game is so intense. Facing this team for a 4th time in the playoffs in this era, having lost the previous 3. That's a hurdle to overcome mentally.
As with everything, there is a negative, and a positive. The positive is that at a certain point, you just draw a line and say "no more." Like George McFly w/ Biff.
I feel like that as a fan. Enough already. Let's get it done this time. I'd guess this team feels the same way.

We can definitely open it up more, and I'd expect us to this weekend - but man, do I wish we had a true speed guy who could really stretch the field once in awhile.

Whenever he gets a catch - he has the look of a guy w/ an elite skillset. He always seems to get those few extra yards that a lot of guys can't get.
I still have hope. As we know - some of Beane's picks can take time to really emerge.

Terrible call - but by the end of the game, I felt like things came close to evening out. We got a few soft ones (nothing phantom like that holding call - but I can't complain about the refs when that was the ONLY call against us the whole game).

Would you all feel more comfortable if this game was in Orchard Park? or do you believe this is how it’s meant to be. If we’re going to get to the big game, it has to be through Mahomes and Reid at Arrowhead?
Ive always felt this version of KC is an excellent road team. Maybe even better on the road than home. I’m ok playing them there. I think our guys will relish it.
I remember their players smiling and waving goodbye to Bills fans after the Bass miss last year. Can't say that I blame them - I'm sure they heard it from the fans in the front rows all game.
But man, do I want to see the reverse of that in KC this year. We're overdue for a road playoff win.

It’s the same going the other way. And Bills O-Line is better than KC’s.The O-line is our strongest unit (RB's are close). I feel like I have to go back to the '90s for a line that was at their level.
They need to have a great game, but I have a lot of faith that they will.

I've seen that drop a few dozen times at this point.
It's definitely not as easy a catch as it looked like at first. He was falling backwards, and people really aren't taking the cold into account. That was extreme cold, and the ball can be like a rock in those circumstances.
He should have still caught it - but mistakes happen, these guys are all human beings. Fans should have to write "it's just a game" on a blackboard 100x. The reaction to these situations can get so unnecessarily toxic.

Was listening to Mad Dog Russo on Sirius this afternoon. He had a caller with a deep southern accent saying he’s praying that the Bills win. He said he won’t watch the Super Bowl if Kansas City makes it again. It was funny and Russo agreed and says he’s praying with him. People are really sick of the chiefs
Fans are sick of every dynasty. I'm pretty certain most Chiefs fans felt about New England exactly how everyone feels about them. And how we've all felt about teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, Niners, Warriors, Lakers, et al.
Personally, I usually appreciate dynasties a lot more when they're over. I even have much more respect for what the Pats did now than I ever would have imagined.

Will the Bills need to improve on what they showed last week to win , is the question I’ve been reflecting on … I think so … the Chiefs won’t be spotting you +3 on the turnovers , and Kelce won’t be spilling his lollies like Andrew’s did…For sure - I think we'll see a whole different gameplan. I think they open it up a lot more; Allen will have 30+ passing attempts and I'd guess a few more designed runs.

The Chiefs are to us like the Patriots were to Manning's Colts, or the Pistons were to Jordan's Bulls.
Narratives were established that one team just couldn't get past the other - until they did. We have an excellent chance to flip the script on Sunday. This KC team is not as dominant as KC teams from the past. They're not better than the Bills - they have homefield, but they don't have any significant advantage in talent.
I feel confident that McDermott will have a gameplan for the ages on this one, and that we finally prevail.

I'm with the OP.
The divisional round was such a hurdle. Making the final 4 is an incredible accomplishment this season.
And no, that doesn't mean I'm happy to just be here. But if it does end, we took a big step forward this season, and should be even stronger next season.

Overall, he had a bad game because of the turnovers.
But that last drive was clutch. 88 yards I think - and just great throws the whole drive. The narrative would be wildly different today for both he & Allen if they converted that 2 pointer & then got it to OT, and won.

Kitchen sink game.
Whatever it takes.

Just now, Doc Brown said:
McDermott said it happened on the onsides kick.
Ugh. Basically the last play of the game for him.
We're still in good shape for next week compared to previous years, but this one was a surprise. Hope he's okay & that he's back for KC. Average time for return in the NFL is 9 days, but a lot of guys don't miss a game.

Anyone remember the play he got hurt?

Isn't Bishop faster than Cam?
Might be better considering KC has Worthy & Brown. Regardless, I'm sure the coaches will make a better decision than we can.
