JFC. Come on man…They played like sh-t and stopped them on 2 of their final drives is simply my point. That immediately gives them confidence.
I even told you I agreed with your post with one exception. Literally implied by the “waxing the floor” verbiage I used.
But for arguments sake…
You live in a deluded reality if that’s what you got from my posts. I didn’t state or imply that I am ok with any play the defense made all night just that your “all night” was prior to the fumble out the EZ.
The defense made plays on 2 drives…
1) to stop KC going up a guaranteed 10; they weren’t kicking a FG if we stopped them on 3rd and goal from the 1.
2) to keep them only up by 3
Ive played sports competitively in a Pro-Am level… American Football and Soccer. Winning or losing, It is how you end a game that matters.
It was 2 drives. One of which they got extremely lucky on. The Chiefs punted ONE time all night. Their drives were FG, FG, TD, TD, TD, Fumble (after a 35 yard run to get to the 1), Punt, gashed our defense the final to run plays to seal it. Yet, you are ok with Mahomes having 1:55 with 2 TOs, no pass rush and multiple injuries? I have no words, man. You're nuts

Considering 6 of their 10 picks are 5th round or later … about 23…Sounds doable

All night would imply the night in totality but you say “the whole game prior to those drives”… you also said we “We showed no sign of being able to stop it if KC got the ball with that much time left”But they did. On back to back drives. A Turnover and then a 5 play drive for a total of 8 yards.
Dude I’m not disputing that KC waxed the floor with us for the majority of the night. But the defense stepped up at the end of the game big time.
Simple point was in crunch time barring a 30 yard rip our defense looked like they could hold them. Which I, personally, feel would have happened again had we made the FG. Especially if we scored a TD.
Your post isn’t wrong. It’s that one point I disagree with. I just feel differently toward the statement my last post was directed to.
It’s how you finish the game that matters.
I mean the whole game in totality. Are we really gonna argue over 2 drives that we got lucky enough to not give up 7 or 8 yards a play? The only 2 drives that we gave up nothing on was that fumble out of the endzone which again, had a 35 yard run play to get down there and then one other defensive drive to stop them. Were you watching something else. It was back and forth all game for both offenses. We had the lead at halftime 17-13. What did the Chiefs do the first drive I. The second half? They scored a TD in like 7 plays. The next Chiefs drive, you guessed it another TD. The Chiefs only had to attempt 5 3rd downs all night long because most of the time they were getting enough yardage on first and second down to not need a 3rd down. If you are ok with the night our defense had, getting no pass rush, missing multiple starters and getting gashed MOSTLY all night and giving Mahomes 1:55 and 2 timeouts to work with, I have to question your sanity

I would say scheme. After watching that Kurt Warner study ball video of the game, the are big problems with scheme and not having a good WR 2 is also a factor

They don't. That's my hope.
They need to use some of those 10 picks they have gathered up to move WAYYY up the board for a WR...or use that 1st to trade for an impact player.
How many picks would it take to get Marvin Harrison, Jr?

Um. All night? They had a fumble out the EZ after ripping 30 yards on the ground following the ridiculous fake punt, then followed that up with a 5 play/8 yard drive after we went 3 and out…I honestly believe if Bass ties the game they force the issue and make errors. No score. And if we scored a TD that drive I think the defensive pass rush might have finally got home seeing as they’d need a TD to avoid the season being over.
Yes... all night. You're gonna refer to one play that got lucky enough to go out of the endzone? Do you remember the play right before that? Pacheco had like a 35 yard run that got them down to the 1 yard line and then we got lucky enough o get the ball out of the endzone. The whole game prior to that drive and even after that drive, we couldn't stop them. What was the next play for the Chiefs after bass missed? It was a Pacheco run for 8 yards. Wanna know what the next play was? Another Pacheco run for a first down and it was ball game. We should have taken the easy shots we took on offense all game and drained down more clock

The Eagles moved on from Reid even with those 4 NFCCG appearances. Like many have said here McDermott is a good coach but it appears this is as far as he can take them. Are we going to wait 20 years for him to figure it out. Allen will be wearing a gold jacket in Canton, Ohio by then.
I completely understand what you mean. But how many regimes do we have to go through before we find the one that wins it all. We had 4 super bowl losses under one regime, the music city miracle under another regime. A 17 year drought with a bunch of others and now the current regime can't get past the divisional round with a generational talent at QB. Not saying we shouldn't fire McDermott but in 5 years, you will he here saying the same thing about the next regime. We aren't winning anything. It's time to accept that

I am beyond tired of the national hand-wringing about that play. It was THERE. I've actually heard fans argue that what Allen SHOULD have done is to just keep picking up small chunks, and then score a TD with just a few seconds left on the clock.
As though you can script something like that perfectly. Then there is a holding penalty, or sack, or turnover, or you just can't get in the endzone. Allen saw Shakir wide open for 6, and he went for it. And, as we all know, if Chris Jones gets there a half second later, that's a TD and we're likely up by 4.
I'm like, is that the best that you've got, Allen haters? The guy plays a great game, should have had at least 100 more yards and another TD if his receivers could hang onto the ball - and you're saying "same ol' Allen" because he went for an OPEN TOUCHDOWN.
And I hope Mahomes throws 3 picks this week so we can all see the double-standard. It won't be nearly as analyzed and dissected.
No he didn't. The Chiefs were moving the ball at will all night long getting 7 or 8 yards a play. Had Shakir caught that for a TD, it would have put us up by 4 and Mahomes having 1:55 on the clock to go down the field and score. If that TD put us up by 7, then I can agree because then it would be at worse a tie game with a KC score. If our defense had shown something all game, it would have been ok. We showed no sign of being able to stop it if KC got the ball with that much time left. The best thing would have been to keep taking underneath routes and possibly make them burn timeouts. Run it down to under a minute and then try for some end zone shots. I know nothing is guaranteed but at worst, a field goal from Bass would have been a lot a closer than the 44 yarder he had to make in those terrible windy conditions. That's the problem with our team. We don't stick with what works that often. The dink and dunk worked the whole game on their defense and then when we really to take more time off the clock, we took a shot. We should have taken more time off and got as close as possible to take better shots or then go for a closer field goal

I think he hit the nail right on the head...He made some very telling points and I feel they were irrefutable
I disagree and there are multiple examples in the sports world where firing a successful hc who always has the team winning but not quite there for a championship has worked and produced said championship from the new guy.....you just have to get the new guy right...and there is some Big name coaches available.....for example fire McDermott and go get Belichick....you gonna tell me Belichick with a top oc isn't gonna win it all with allen? I find that hard to believe bc we all have seen the Belichick process ..McDermott is a great value Belichick
Belichick? Lol

Tyler Dunne is spot on. Great article I don’t understand how at the very least we couldn’t have told Sean McDermott hey we’re going to explore other options at head coach in the next few weeks. We are not firing you unless we find someone we think will maximize Josh Allens talents and get us to a Super Bowl more than you can.
It’s an off-season that has Hall of Fame coaches just sitting there for the taking. Why not at least check it out. What’s the worst that happens if we do that? McD gets pissy and resigns. Well thank God for that.
I like how you think that after one regime having 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses, the next regime having one of the worst playoff losses ever in the music city miracle, a bunch of other regimes not making the playoffs for 17 years and now the current regime having a generational talent at QB and still can't get over the hump that you think letting the current head coach go will all of a sudden make things change. It will never happen. Go ahead and fire McDermott. In 5 years you will wanna get rid of the next guy for the exact same thing

You can kinda see why Diggs hasn't really done much. They are making him do very simple concepts. I feel like they used him differently a couple years ago. A lot of what Diggs is running are little curls, slants, screens. They aren't really asking him to do much and when they do, it seems like the WRs are kind of all bunched together. I don't fully blame Diggs

Exactly. We dont know if the Bills would win against the Ravens, but their chances would be better...if they play that game, it's the least i can say.
Right. I'm not saying we would have, but we definitely could have. We probably would have only been 3 point underdogs in that game. Apparently the OP of this thread thinks we would be 10 or 15 point underdogs lol. We are a very hard team to beat. We beat ourselves most weeks. Probably more than most teams. And if we played to our potential every week and cleaned that up, we would literally only lose maybe 2 or 3 games a season. We should have been 14-3 this season if we didn't blow the Jets, Patriots and Broncos games

Yes KC is very vulnerable this season. The fact that they advanced and Bills didn’t should tell you something.The point is that the Bills COULD HAVE advanced. Just like the Chiefs did and can beat the Ravens just like the Chiefs can. If the Chiefs come out and play like crap this week, does that mean that they can't beat them if they execute or don't execute? Every team has mishaps. Even the best teams I have seen. The Chiefs are very vulnerable but can be beaten. We absolutely could have beaten every team left. It's about being better that day. Unfortunately, we weren't when it counted. It doesn't mean we couldn't have been. Have you ever looked at a 5th or 6th seed and thought "they can win a championship"? The Steelers did it in 05, the Giants did it in 07. The 2000 Ravens had absolutely no offense to speak of and won a title. We have the team that can win it all. We just have to be on top of our game in the crucial moments. We just didn't this week.

No. No they couldn’t. They had a chance to close out the game last night. It was right there for them. And they failed. It has nothing to do with luck. If anything luck were on the Bills side last night. It was all about execution and this team fails time and time again at the most crucial moments. So no. They could not have beaten Balt or SF. Could’ve should’ve would’ve only works for so long before it becomes delusional.Yes. They could have. If they won last night, they absolutely could have beaten the Ravens or either one of the NFC teams. Forget about the execution part of it and just look at talent alone. I believe we were better than the Chiefs but we didn't play like it last night. Execution can be corrected, talent can't. Let me ask you, have you looked at the Chiefs at any point this season and said "that's a team that can win a title right there"? A team that has looked dreadful and had a hard time scoring and had a bad loss to the Raiders on Christmas Day where they got man handled. Guess what...they're right back to being one game away from the Super Bowl again. I never thought ince this season that the Chiefs were a better team than us. They are beatable and had we executed like we should have, would have beaten them like we should have.

And neither should josh. Ita not designed for him. It's designed to get people open quick and get YAC. It's designed for tua or purdy. Not josh. It was modified to work with josh but it's a scheme that relies on athletes winning 1 on 1 all the time or you take check down.
See Tom brady. Early win or check it down. Daboll in college had one of the greatest teams ever so they often won early.
Ruggs
Smith
Ridley
Jeudy
Hurts
Tua
Jacobs
Harris
Robinson
***** me. I could have won natty with that team.
Dorsey tried to keep it and put twists on it. It didn't work. Brady focused on the simple stuff. Kind of worked.
We need brady to implement his own system that produced 2x 1k receivers. 1k rusher.
Dabolls system is actually *****. Relies on qb to run. Wrs to win quick. And rarely schemes people open. When we had bease brown and diggs it worked because someone always won quick. Now we have no one that wins quick so it's a check down offense.
Good riddons. I'm excited to see josh on a system...not see a system that puts josh in it.
Brady did kinda implement his own system. I haven't seen us run as much as we have since the bye week. Daboll has more of a pass heavy system

Are Championship games the goal? Losing one game later is the goal?
"He just got unlucky..."
You could say the same thing about McDermott 10 years from now! Do you remember all of those games? Do you remember every call he made? He kept losing is the point.
And one thing he wasn't up against - one of the great QBs of all time in his prime. McDermott has a bigger hurdle than Reid faced. To all those people that blindly think "making the NFC championship 5 times & losing" is somehow better, how is this better?
- Lost in 2001 to the Rams 29-24
- Lost in 2002 to the Bucs 27 - 10
- Lost in 2003 to the Panthers 14-3
- Lost in 2008 to the Cardinals 32 - 25
Different QBs every time, while losing earlier than the NFCCG every other time. The Bills lost to the Chiefs dynasty, and the same QB 3 times now. Every team that beat Reid & the Eagles lost in the Super Bowl. The team beating the Bills won 2 x Super Bowls already, could do it a 3rd time this year.
And don't give me "the teams that beat him went on to the Super Bowl!" - Yeah, no s***. It's the conference championship game, that's how it works. If the Chiefs win the SB this year, did McDermott get "unlucky" again meeting the Chiefs in the divisional round?
Point is Reid had a top QB in the conference, and each year lost out to a one & done SB loser 4 times. He made it to a SB once, but then got "unlucky" playing Tom Brady & the Pats. But we're in the middle of the new dynasty's run, yet acting like we're losing to nobodies.
No one said that championship games were the goal. The point is, the guy had more success with Mediocre QBs than McDermott has had with a generational QB. He made 5 NFC championship games and a Super Bowl with McNabb who was average. He had playoff success with Alex Smith who was even farther below McNabb. He still had a ton of success. In my opinion, he may be the best coach in NFL history. Belichick hasn't done a damn thing without Brady going back to his days in Cleveland and Reid had multiple playoff seasons and a Super appearance without Mahomes.

I assume the statistic referred to the Super Bowl but maybe not.
The only other one was Manning in 2004. He had 53 TDs and only got to the divisional round

If true, the 3rd one would be Mahomes in the 2018 season. The Chiefs defense was brutally bad that year and lost to the Pats in the AFCCG because Dee Ford went Offside effectively ending the game.
Their solution? They immediately fired their DC at the time, Bob Sutton, after that loss. They hired Steve Spagnuolo and the rest is history.
If the Bills were to copy their solution, well...
The Chiefs did make the championship round that year. They lost to the Patriots in that game so that would not be the other one

Offense lost this one, perhaps the defense would have given the opportunity, but the offense didn't afford them the opportunity to blow it.
Yes, the offense was the one giving up 7 yards a pop to Pacheco. Freaking offense needs to play better

Get ready for it. Because we will have a bunch of guys hurt again next year. It happens every damn season

And that is exactly why I am so amazed that KC constantly has luck on their side in the biggest moments.I.e. the Chiefs were “lucky” that we did not throw the wide open underneath short pass to Diggs who had at least a first down on 2nd and 9 from the 25. Who knows what happens from there?
Yes, the Chiefs were lucky that we didn't keep doing what worked all night long on offense. Which was taking what they gave us and going down the field. If Allen hits Diggs underneath, keeps running clock, and we get into the endzone with little time left, odds are we win the game. The Chiefs were also lucky we were missing Bernard and Benford which would have made a little bit of a difference. Bottom line, yes. This team should have won last night and could have beaten Baltimore as well as either the 49ers or Lions. You're telling me they couldn't?

I'm just as mad/dissapointed that we lost last night as any other bills fan today. Last week I heard alot on local sports talk radio about how this was our year and how if we just beat kc, it's gotta be our year finally. OK, based on what?!
The last 8 games have been fun. Nobody thought this team would win the division, let alone be the 2 seed and host 2 home playoff games. Having said that, our offense needs serious help. Allen is an absolute animal, but he can't do absolutely everything. I've seen Diggs take alot of flack today on social media and it's well deserved. He's been non existentent the last 8 or so games. Harty and sherfield were complete non factors the entire season. Gabe played nowhere near what we (and the team) expected. Knox was hurt and even when he wasn't, he wasn't exactly a game changer. Kinkaid and Shakir were the lone bright spots, and Shakir really didn't show up until after Dorsey was gone. Cook was great, but we need more. The defense came through, even as beat up as they've been, but in today's nfl you cannot rely solely on the defense. WGR brought up a great point this morning, saying how kc has won superbowls when their defense was ranked in the mid 20's. We need more offense.
I could go on and on, but Imo this wasn't the team that was gonna win it all. I was worried about last night's game, and even had they pulled it out, I'd never believe they could get through Baltimore. Houston has a similar offense to Buffalo and they couldn't muster more than 3 points on offense against Baltimore. Ya I know they have a rookie qb, but stroud is a beast. It'll be super interesting to see what kc does against Baltimore next week. I think Baltimore beats kc by 10 🤷 thanks for letting me vent
Why couldn't they win it all? You do realize all it takes is to get to the playoffs and have some luck, right? I understand this wasn't our best team. But they absolutely should have won that game last night and absolutely could have beaten the Ravens and either one of the 49ers or Lions. We were good enough to do it. I think you're looking too deep into this. There have been many teams that have won Super Bowls that probably weren't as good as other teams that should have
-
We would. But the result would be the same. It's amazing that fans still think after one regime losing 4 straight Super Bowls, another having the music city miracle, a bunch more missing the playoffs for nearly 20 years and then getting another regime that makes it every year just to lose in the divisional round is some how gonna go win one with the next guy. Lol. We can fire McDermott but the results will stay the same

I think if McDermott makes the Championship, he gets another year. If he has another Divisional round exit or less, he's gone
