    Chiefs are just better than the Bills

    Shanahan abandoned the run in q2 and 3. When he started running again, they moved the ball. CMC was how they win that game and he forgot that when CMC fumbled.

    Chris Jones is one of the best big game players on D we've seen in a while.

     

     

    The whole thing with abandoning the run game with CM, seemed like a real McClappy thing to do IMO.

    The bigger question that needs to be asked is why they abandoned the run from the 2nd quarter until late in the 3rd…

     

    They win that game if they stuck with it. 
     

    Baltimore did the same thing. An incredible rushing team just mailing it in even after immediate success… 

     

     

    KC tightened up the trenches and zeroed in on the run game. The Niners felt they had a better chance with Purdy throwing it than CM running it......sounds like a very McClappy thing to do IMO.

    Well, at least the albatross of not beating KC in the playoffs would be off us, IF we beat KC this year.

     

    Who knows IF we would have beat them.  We still needed to play Baltimore the next week at their house.

     

    What happens IF we lose to Baltimore?  Does the KC win even matter? 

     

    What IF we make it to the superbowl and lose to the 49ers?  Does it even matter?

     

    Compiling a team with talent enough to win championships is just one aspect of have a great team like KC.  It starts at the top down.  You need a great GM, HC, surrounding staff.   There are LOTS of teams with alot of talent on them.   How you harness that talent is what matters.

     

    KC is just doing it better than Buffalo right now.  We have no excuses.  We lost to KC AT HOME!  We are not better than KC.

     

    RECOGNIZE there is a problem, find the true reason the problem exists and try to fix it.

     

    The problem is NOT Josh Allen or the vast majority of the players IMO.  It's how we are using them especially on offense is what is keeping us back.

    You are correct, sir....the problem is not JA and i think we can all agree on that. In my eyes, the problem always has been and always will be coaching. We are going to constantly end up with the same results with this regime. I'm not even sure they know how to identify the issues, nor how to even fix them.

    Anyone watch the trenches last night?....ya i know, everyone wants to watch the "pretty" plays, the QB, the RB's, the WR's, but did anyone actually watch the trenches? I did and i'll tell ya some things i noticed....

     

    1) When the Niners were dictating and dominating the trench on O in the first half, they pressured Mahomo keeping him off-balance and forcing him to abandon some of KC's playcalling. They forced some sacks and kept Mahomo off his rhythm. KC could not generate anything on O in the 1st half. CM was steam rolling the KC D line, slicing up yardage.

     

    2) The 2nd half was completely different. KC owned the trenches, which gave Mahomo the confidence to make plays. It also didn't help that the Niners abandoned the run, however, the KC D was stout in the 2nd half and limited CM to very little yardage.

     

    My point being, we all know the game is won and lost in the trenches. We all know that if you can pressure Mahomo, you can throw him off his game. When was the last time we completely dominated the trenches in any game?.....Dallas, and that's about it. We moved the ball at will cause it all started in the trenches.

    My other point being, our FO keeps telling the fans that they are building a team to compete with KC....and yes we can compete in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they own us. They outright own us. Did we get any pressure on Mahomo last game we played them?....nope, and he had all day to feel comfortable in the pocket and pick us apart.

     

    If we can't own the trenches, we can't own the Lombardi.....simple as that.

    6-2 mid-season....not too shabby

    LOL at the comparisons to Bills teams from 30 years ago.  Pre salary cap when Buffalo's roster was exceedingly better than just about every team in the league.  It's as if people cannot comprehend the game's changed markedly in the intervening years.

     

    The loss to Miami was not good, nor the Jets loss.  It happens and every reasonable fan knew they weren't going 16-1 or 17-0.  

     

    Doesn't mean it's fun to see division rivals win, albeit when they're home.  

     

    At this point, it's time to see what this staff can do. For all the plaudits given them, at crucial times they seem caught flat-footed.  Time will tell.  

     

     

     

    Who's comparing the 2 teams or the 2 eras?......i simply stated that the division nowadays reminds me of 30 years ago when the AFCEast was THE best division in the NFL for competing.

    I couldn't even watch the game on sunday.....apparently, my local t.v. station figured the Bills would blow out the Jets by such a wide margin, that they aired the Fins game instead. That was the first time in 35 years that i had not watched a Bills game, however, i watched the updates on my phone as the day progressed and felt that our team would somehow pull off the win. Was i devastated by the loss? Well, yes and no. It never feels good to have your team lose, however, were 6-2....that's not too shabby, ya know. If you were to tell me that we would be 6-2 mid-season before the season started, i'd think we were in pretty good shape. The only problem i see is that the 2 losses were against divisional opponents...the AFCEast right now kinda reminds me of the 90's, where this was the toughest division in the NFL. All four teams are poised to take a crack at the crown, but i still think that we are the team to beat.

     

    I'm not worried.....we've been here before and we'll be here again. This is a typical mid-season Bills slump (can you even call 2 losses, not even back to back, a slump?).

     

    I still haven't watched any highlights of the game....what's the point? Don't you know that we lost to a good team and the sky is falling. It's all coming apart at the seams and maybe we should tear it all down and start over.....or maybe, just maybe, we enjoy this team for what it is, let the FO do their jobs, sit back and relax and watch our team go to the SB this year.

     

    Superbowl or bust, baby.

    Go Bills.
