If Allen was pushing for Coleman, why did we trade down....twice? The only reasonable explanation is that Beane felt Worthy/Pearsall/Legette/Coleman/McConkey were interchangeable, and didn't care which one we ended up with.

Von Miller can get *****. Mahomes magic? Our DEF could not have made the game easier for him. Miller said he’ll keep coming to One Bills Drive as long as his key card works. He wants to return to the Bills and thinks that feeling is mutual. The only question for the Bills is if we're going to make him a post June 1st designation when we release him this offseason. Good luck finding another team, you're going to need it

So was Kincaid who dropped an easy catch

Chiefs (O-line in particular) commit a ton of penalties that get called in the regular season, but go un-called in the playoffs.

I think we have a pretty warped view on here of what a good offense looks like. 29 points scored without turning the ball over is a fantastic game by the offense. No short fields either. It's easily the best performance by an offense in a loss in this years playoffs.

I'm surprised how many people think we can only replace McD with some previously established head coach. The 2009 Colts went from Tony Dungy to Jim Caldwell and finished 14-2 with a SB appearance. Caldwell had never been more than a QB coach

How many more times do we need to see a defensive collapse in the playoffs from our defensive minded head coach? It's happened 6 times in the last 5 seasons, Colts, Bengals, and Chiefsx4 McD is now 0-6 in road playoff games

The defense could not have looked worse while Benford was in the game. Chiefs were on their 2nd possession and hadn't even faced a 3rd down yet

Why does it matter who we hire in his place? The '01 Bucs fired a pretty mediocre Tony Dungy and immediately won the SB with a pretty mediocre Jon Gruden. There's dozens of potential head coaches that would've won a SB with Josh Allen by now

Good point! I've been a huge Bass hater, but he deserves an A for this game. He crushed that 53 yarder and made every other kick that was asked of him

Has any athlete, across any sport, been let down by their team as much as Josh Allen has? Josh has 9 TDs and 0 turnovers in the last 3 playoff losses to the Chiefs. Bills DEF has forced 5 punts and 2 turnovers over those 3 games.

He's gotta be on the Mount Rushmore of worst FA signings in Bills history? And I'm ignoring the whole "he allegedly choked out his pregnant fiancee but police didn't pursue charges after she refused to testify" thing

Cook gets an A+ Mack gets an A Josh gets a B+ Oliver gets a B Maybe some O-line is in the B range No one else was better than 'decent' in this game

Josh was out of control on the first drive, but I'd still give him a "B+" for how he played tonight. Definitely well enough to win the game

It was time to move on from McD after the 13 second game. Everything else has been doubling down on garbage

I love being critical about officiating, and I do think the refs favored the Chiefs in this game, but it was about a 55/45 ratio. We easily could've won this game without self inflicted wounds, or if we had even a mediocre defense

If 2 seeds still had byes McD would be 2-7 in the playoffs, with both wins coming against the Lamar Jackson Ravens

1 turnover 2 punts 32 points allowed Yup... that's an absolute disaster against a mediocre offense

How about false start penalties? The supposed 'loophole' about tackles being allowed to adjust their back foot prior to the snap is literally not in the rulebook. Refs just choose to enforce it that way. We're left with this amorphous grey area where OT's are allowed to move ~1 full second prior to the snap. Except when they're not. Enforcement can change crew to crew and even down to down. Or alignment penalties? Hope you enjoy seeing Jawaan Taylor line up ~2 yards farther back than he's allowed to cuz we're gonna see a LOT of that on Sunday

I was more confident in 2021 even though we only made it to the divisional. Felt like we "learned our lesson" from 2020 and our offense was playing so well we felt unbeatable.

It says it right there: These provisions do not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or the helmet in the course of a conventional tackle or block on an opponent. I think it's pretty clear he didn't lower his head and it was not forcible contact. Therefore it's not a penalty

Helmet to helmet hits are not, in and of themselves, a penalty. There's some situations where any head contact is an automatic penalty like a QB in the pocket or a defenseless player (IE a QB that's sliding). If the player being hit is just a regular runner it can still be a penalty if the defender launches (leaving his feet) and/or leads with the crown of the helmet. Josh was a regular runner on the play he was hit, and the defender didn't launch or lead with the crown so I think it's a good no-call.

Do you realize how high 35% is for allowing runs of 10+ yards? If your defense is allowing a rush of 10+ once out of every 3 plays you can see why that would be a problem? Looking at the other teams that played on divisional weekend Bills had 3 carries of 10+ (including Ty Johnson in garbage time) on 34 carries Eagles had 5 carries of 10+ on 35 carries Rams had 2 on 21 carries Commanders had 3 out of 42 Lions had 7 out of 23 Chiefs had 3 out of 21 Texans had 2 out of 29 The Lions were the only team even remotely close. I will say even though we allowed a huge chunk of runs to go for 10+ at least we didn't allow a long TD run.

Andrews had at least 2 blatant OPI go uncalled (push off on T.Johnson and one he had arms full extended and blocking like 10+yards downfield). Ravens O-line was getting away with murder too
