I never said that Mahomes should get away with fake slides. I think fake slides should be a penalty. SOME of the replies here acknowledge that what Allen did was a fake slide but then just say it's fine because Mahoems does fake slides. I'm not defending fake slides no matter who does them.

Looking forward to the matchup! These matchups have been incredible over the years...and why would this one be any less epic? Bills with their best shot to advance since 13 seconds....HUGE legacy game for both QB's in this one! Can't wait!

JJ Watt thinks this was a brilliant example of USING A FAKE SLIDE...It's not like I'm out here by myself in the desert on this NFL QB's and Hall of famers think this was a fake slide.

This is a fair response. All I am saying is that it SHOULD be a 15 yard penalty. It's not. You are allowed to fake slide. It's crap.

Except in this case, when you fake, the defender is supposed to give up on the play by rule.

Yeah, this was also garbage.

The defender 7 yards away?

That isn't a juke...he's slowing as if to slide...7 yards from nearest defender...then starts running again...how is this a juke? Who is he juking...the guy 7 yards away?

The nearest defender was 7 yards away.....

That was a juke?

So no comment on the fake slide?

Allen with the blatant fake slide on the long run, then later draws a 15 yard penalty on a late hit on slide where the defender didn't hit his head.....but can you blame him for going for the tackle based on the fake earlier? The slide is a play intended to protect the QB, not to do what Allen did. That was garbage.

Send me a paypal request.

The penalties are terrible....when he lines up right, he's been fine. Orlando Brown sucks. He leads the NFL in pressures allowed. Drops from KC have been brutal at WR positioin. Rice is legit. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well.

Most were ready to cut him a long time ago. Hopefully you guys saw my post predicting we’d lose because the WRs make too many mistakes and I thought it would keep happening….and it did. Rice fumble, To ey offside. Same thing all year. Too many mistakes to overcome.

Congratulations. It went like I thought. KC wrs can’t get out of their own way. Same thing all year. Lots of good results for the Bills. May just be your year yet.

Some thoughts about the game - First let me say, I don't feel good about this game at all. I think the Bills are a very good team that has just had a combination of the worst luck, some very untimely bad coaching decisions, and some untimely mistakes. All teams have these, but it's just amazing to me how these things have hit the Bills in games this year, at just the most inopertune times, over and over again. A random spread of bad things happening, and you guys are probalby a 9 win team right now and looking to take the 1 seed. With the scenario having played out the way it is though, it would really help the Chiefs overall playoff chances to knock out a dangerous threat now, while you can. A Bills loss would be ALMOST the nail in the coffin for the playoffs. I'd really prefer KC to drive that nail home while we can. That said...KC has some problems. The biggest one is that this group of recievers have struggled all season to run the Andy Ried offense. Specifially, Ried asks the recievers to adjust to what the defense does within the route they are running. The idea is to identify and then run to empty space. Kelce has been very good at this his whole career. The rest of these guys not so much. I've watched a ton of all 22. Here is a short summary of each WR. MVS - often sent deep, and when he gets deep it's clockwork that the won't run AWAY from the deep safety...ALWAYS turns toward that safety, and so when Mahomes throws that way, either he misses completely because he expected MVS to run AWAY from the safety, OR since MVS has run back toward coverage, you have a contested throw. And in the very rare instance MVS gets it right, there is a good chance he'll drop the ball. He is useless being used this way, and this is the only way they use him. More on that later. Skyy Moore - I thought he was worthless before the draft (I have tweets proving as much) and haven't seen anything in 2 years to change my mind. I've never seen a dude so lost when it comes to route running. He makes up for it by being short and unable to jump, unable to separate, and he's not fast enough to run away from anyone either. A Complete waste of a roster spot who keeps getting snaps. Justin Watson - People forget he got into Tom Brady's dog house in Tampa and never got out...for done the same crap he does in KC. Also not a master of reading the D to find open space. Too often run TO the coverage and not away from it. Drops too many passes to make up for it. Not fast enough to run away from anyone. NOT CLUTCH. a below average WR whose box score stats look ok because of his inexplicably high target share. Rashee Rice - The only guy with real promise...and while he's not been great either at the idea of running away from coverage, he's a rookie and you can at least say it takes time to learn that skill in this offense. In the mean time, while he has suffered some drops, he has been very effective on slants and crossers. He brings something of value to the table and is getting better each game. Wish they would up the snap count. He's by far the most effective WR they have. Richie James - Injured most of the year, now back...I'd like to see more of him and more snaps...dude seems to be able to get open if nothing else. Kadarius Toney - They don't seem to trust him much...but when he is out there AND he's not hurt..he's got electric moves and has had some big plays running slants and crossers....I assume they don't trust his routerunning to do more than that a few snaps a game, but at this point, I'd have him out there way more. Ok...so when you read that, you should know that the offense has been MOSTLY what it was last year, the difference being that this group as a whole are drive killers. They don't perform / execute and this more than any other problem, is why KC has consistently been down in scoring. Also, I am not telling you that they are about to figure it out and bust out with some 35 point games. They'd have done it by now. They are who they are at this point. A team with WR's who are LIMITED. They can squeeze a little more out by giving some higher snap counts to Rice and running more stuff that this group CAN do which isn't much, but more short slants, crossers, quick outs, WR screens. Asking these guys to go out and find a hole in the zone 15 yards downfield is too much to ask these guys to do on a reguarl basis. In games where they at least catch the balls that come their way, KC can still put up some points, (Riaders, Chargers games) Bad Routes, drops and penalties ALL in the same game and they can't overcome it. KC runs the ball OK. Not great, not terrible. Some small part of the problem is the poor passing game. PA doesn't affect LB's VS KC....teams don't respect that PA pass when KC runs it. KC is frustratingly bad against light boxes..and again from watching alot of all 22...their run play designs call for interior linemen to always double up down linemen...even if there are only 2 of them...the line too often doens't just man up the guys in front of them allowing for the free G/C/T to go find a LB to block. On plays where they do get the linemen upfield to the next level to block, the run plays are way more successful. Frustrtating that by design, they don't do this more often. I will say, Kc's line does a poor job of keeping dudes blocked and often a lineman / LB is able to get off the block and make the play on what often looks like a play with a good hole and space to run. Too eays to come of the blocker and make the tackle. For KC to put up some points, they will need to CATCH everything that comes their way and being on the same page as Mahomes by running the right route goes a long way toward that. Also, it's clear at this point, Pat doens't trust his WR's (for good reason) and will hold off a 3 or 4 throws a game that look open....he just doesn't trust it...and he ends up checking down, running or getting sacked. Not the same as in the past. On Defense...for several games, KC had been starting 2nd string MLB Drew Tranquill. he's been decent...he got hurt VS packers and KC was down to 3rd stringer Jack Cochrane....calling signals. KC got misaligned a few times. I believe Bolton will be back...should help that alot. Kc will be without Bryan Cook...one of the starting Safeties..but Marc Edwards is a capable replacment. If the Bills can just keep the pressure off of Allen and limit Turnovers...it could be a long day for KC...and if you can get the run game rolling, even bigger bonus. All in all....I don't see KC winning this game. The Bills backs are up agains the wall. They are a better team than their record indicates and KC is limited/flawed making this a tough tough matchup for us (Chiefs) I don't forsee KC WR/offense doing anything out of the realm of what they've done all season. Bills 27, KC 20 This is entirely incorrect.

If you guys are going to redeem this season, you've caught KC it a good time. We got problems.

They have 15 takeaways in their last 4 games. Thats unsustainable. Denver is 2-5 when they are +2 or worse. They were +1 VS the Jets AT HOME and lost by 10 points.

I would guess it wouldn't be taken well. I would also guess you'd not be visiting to make new friends etc. In this case, I admire the Bills. I enjoy watching the Bills and Josh Allen. Fun to watch. Allen is a great player. I've been enjoying the Bills and Allen for a while now. Not that ANY of that matters.... I'd like to see the Bills win a Super Bowl. I really wish in a way that 13 seconds didn't ever happen. We ended up losing to the Bengals the next week anyhow...and I think the Bills were at the absolute peak of their power when that happend. I have now doubt the Bills would have won that SB and I would have been cheering them on. The Bills would be the most difficult obstacle in the way to KC winning anohter AFC title if they made it in. (not that KC won't have a loss in the playoffs anyhow or that it's a forgone conclusion we make it) If hte Bills get in...and they play the Chiefs..I'll look forward to the game and welcome that the game will be challenge. And if the Bills were to get in and KC didn't make the SB and the Bills did, I'd root for the Bills..... But yeah...I am here on a BIlls board...saying I'm glad about a very very stong Bills team not making it to the playoffs.

Absolutely! As a Chiefs fan, I am rooting hard for the Broncos (Complete frauds) to get in. For Cleveland (no QB) to get in, and would be happy to MISS Buffalo altogether. The Bills would be the most dangerous 7th seed ever. Imagine being the 2 seed...let's say it's the Jags, Ravens, Dolphins or Chiefs and the Bills are the 7. That would be something.

Those were the days! (and how wrong I was!)

Sorry.

If the Bills don't make it (and it's looking rough right now) they'd be quite possibly the highest rated team by DVOA to miss out. A really good team, on the wrong side of every bounce, the wrong side of every little coaches decision, the wrong side of untimely turnovers and missed field goals. All at the worst possible time every time. Amazing.
