There are teams where we can play tough D and grind and then there are teams where you need to be perfect and Baltimore, NE, and probably KC are on the have to be perfect list. If we are just saving that perfect game for the playoffs as long as they pull it out then I'm fine with that.

The whole if "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts ..........." Allen could have put it a little more in front of him. Maybe Brown could have fought more. Also let's face it, Peters is no slouch. He's shut down much better recievers than Brown and I'm not knocking Brown when I say that. Really the penalty a couple plays before turned the heat up on that last drive. We played a tough team right down to the wire. No shame in that.

Mahommes just pulled a Josh Allen.

I lol'd at Many Lawson. How old would that guy be now :).

I mean people keep running at Daboll with the pitchforks but here we are talking about missed TD's on deep passes and drops on short passes. 2 plays before the fouth down we had a screen that picked up something like 17 yards called back for a penalty. I'm not sure Daboll is the one shooting the offense in the foot.

I'm not calling us a championship team but for pete's sake hasn't anyone ever heard the saying "that's why you play the game"? We were playing what is the favorite team to win it all and if Allen hits Foster early or Singletary late or stops taking sacks inside the 30 yard line it's entirely possible we score enough to win that game. No we are not the favorites but we are going to be there with a chance.

We had a nice screen to Singletary just a few plays before our last play that went for a nice gain before a penalty killed it. We really needed our best from everyone and we got our best from the defense. Hauschka brought his A game. I have to mention that because he's been iffy lately.

The good is that the plays were there. Guys got open deep, guys were open short, and there were runs there. The bad is that Allen missed the guys deep, guys dropped passes short, and while some runs popped others had guys (Ford) completely missing blocks and leaving guys unblocked on 3rd down.

Maybe I'm watching a different game. The game I'm watching Brown had to wait on that throw and Peters caught up and slapped it away. With Brown's speed that ball needed to be another 2 yards in front of him. So yes maybe Hopkins catches that as he fights off the defensive back. Rogers would have thrown that TD. Not a knock on Allen, today wasn't his most accurate day.

Needed to be out in front of Brown another yard or so. Peters made a good play.

Our protection is awful. Either blocking or presnap reads need fixing.

Everytime Allen starts to roll out I get angry this game.

I hope Allen just goes plowing in from 20 yards out.

Thank god for the flag. Allen has hit one of the 6 or 7 thows he's had down field all day.

Setting the record for most screen plays in a row ....................

Had to go for 2 either way. Sooner or later.

Thank F'n god. About time.

How come we can't run a slant or a qb sneak like normal teams?

Too many players making mistakes for me to be able to tell how good/bad Daboll is doing.

Isn't Smith supposed to be the good blocker?

TD with a 2 point puts us within7

F yeah

Allen needs to dial that cannon in.

We have the guys to get behind the defense when we get the ball back. Need to hit Foster or Brown deep or Dawson down the seem. I know Allen has missed two or three of those already but that just means the play is there and it has to be made.

I'm actually glad McDermott didn't challenge. First off the refs hate us and secondly from the way those challenges have gone this year I'd have a hard time believing they'd give it to us.
