The Bills stopped the Chiefs and gave the ball back to Josh Allen and the offense to go win it with 3 minutes left. And they didn't do it. The defense got a turnover. They had multiple stops. They held them to 3 in the red zone a couple of times. I think the Bills offense needed to do a little bit more. They continually got stuffed on their QB sneak plays and scrambles. They didn't adjust. They didn't try anything too aggressive. We knew the Bills defense was not great. They performed as well as could be expected, in my opinion. There were also a couple of critical calls by refs that really helped the Chiefs, including the turnover on downs that Josh Allen clearly converted.

I'm over it. You literally just have to force yourself. It takes willpower. After the loss, I took a deep breath and let it go. It's just sports. It's just entertainment. I'm a grown man and won't allow it to get me down. Does it suck? Yes. Is it disappointing? Yes. So, leave it at that. It doesn't have to mean anything more and it certainly does not have to impact your mood.

I don't think anyone choked. Maybe Kincaid for not catching that. He was brought in because of his great hands. He hasn't been a difference maker all year. He had a chance to make a critical play. The wall was in his hands and he dropped it. But the Bills fought hard for 4 quarters and just didn't get it done. It was a close game. The maddening part is how clear it is that the Bills are evenly matched with the Chiefs and SO CLOSE to beating them, but keep coming up just short at the end of games.

I think you should walk away. It sounds like you want to.

Insane take.

Heck of a job coming back and tightening things up in this game.

There's no point in going up by two points there.

Good thing he fair caught that. He had room to return it.

That guy had some pipes!

What does this mean?

No, I'm not going to provide examples. But people can and do take it too far.

I'm not talking about normal, healthy nervousness about the game. There are some fans who taken it too far, though, and allow the game of football to negatively impact their moods, family, and relationships.

Man, their oline is getting wrecked.

The Eagles seem way more amped up and ready to play.

Wow. Such bad tackling. And guys giving up and not pursuing because they figured their teammates had him stopped. Bad, bad, bad...

Sure. But I didn't say nervous, I said "freaking out".

Yeah, and people are freaking out about a football game. Some people need to step back and look at their priorities, I think.

Colorado Springs was one of my favorite places to live.

I grew up there!

So, what's the difference? Having him on the practice squad or as an assistant coach both means he isn't an active roster player.

He's not. He is good depth. The problem is he is always injured.

Why?

How doss Jim Johnson play into it? Because McDermott and Spagnuolo both worked under him, right? I'm not as aware of the coaching trees on the defensive side.

Cool. There is no doubt that virtually every team runs at least some west coast offense principles in their offenses. Although, I'm not sure it makes sense for the defensive coaches. It would be interesting to see if there is a similar link on the defensive side where everything stems from.

The footing was bad. We've seen Josh slip before.
