    These are the kind of games that spook me a bit.

     

    49ers are in desperation mode. They need to win to salvage their season. There's too much veteran talent on the team for them to close out a season with Super Bowl aspirations with a whimper.

     

    I expect to get their best effort and a difficult game.

    EVERY team on the edge of making the playoffs is in desperation mode in every game they play.  If they were healthy and the game was in SF and we were not coming off a bye getting key players back this might matter.  Under the current circumstances not so much.

    This guy is dumb. Says its just Mahomes and second Lamar for MVP. Says Allen is too much of a turnover magnet. It just never ends. Allen could have zero turnovers and they would still say he is a turnover magnet. Meanwhile Mahomes says Hi with all his turnovers.

    Is Deshawn Elliot one of the Steelers that Allen ran by on his way to that 52 yard scoring run in the playoffs?

    observation 1—

     

    what if Allen just got the first doen but went down around the 15 yd line with the clock running.  KC coukd have used a TO or let it go to the 2 min with 2 time outs.  Either way it would have been 3rd down and KC out if time outs.  They run a pkay getting the clock to sbout 2 min left. Do thry go for it st 4 th and 3 or less or kick a FG

     

    If Allen slides there is what, 2:20 left?  KC calls a TO.  Bills run into the line, 2nd down KC calls their last TO with 2:10 left.  Bills run into the line, 3rd down, 2 minute warning.  After the 2 minute warning, Bills run but don't make the 1st down so now it's 4th down.  Bills call TO with 1:16 left.  Bills kick FG leaving about 1:13 on the clock.  Mahomes gets ball back with no TO's needing a TD and only 1:13 left. 

     

    Are you feeling confident we win?  The odds of Mahomes scoring the game winning TD under these circumstances is much better then the Chiefs going down and scoring and then recovering an onside kick and scoring again which is what they needed after Allen's game sealing TD run.

    There is a lot of talk about JA being MVP ´cause without a lot of weapons he has the Bills sitting at 9-2 and beating the undefeated Taylor Chiefs...

     

    I honestly think that McD should really be a Coach of the Year candidate, how can he not?! 
    - He has the players buying into the culture.

    - Suffering with a lot of injuries, the backups are well prepared to step up. 

    - He might not call the defense, but its his system and trust me he is the one making the adjustments at half time with Bobby and Brady and completely dominating the 2nd half of the games. 

    - A lot of good players and leaders departure this offseason and he has the Bills 9-2 when everybody thought we were rebuilding, at the end of the day, it is his team.

    - Maybe not the best game manager, but you how can you not be pleased with his game decisions. He trusted Bass to kick a very difficult game winner and he delivered... the trust Allen to convert a 4th and 2 against the Chiefs and he delivered.

     

    And the list goes on and on...

     

    Odds for him to get it in BETUS are +2500... Mike Tomblin is the current favorite with +300 followed by Dan Campbell at +400. Is he really that far away? 

    I agree and more often then not I'm one of those who thinks McD has held the Bills back in the playoffs.  But given the player departures this season and the fact that the majority of the football media expected the Bills to significantly slide there is no reason McD shouldn't be a top 3 candidate for coach of the year.

    Why not play Trey Lance ?


    Florio floated the theory that Jerry doesn’t want to play Lance cuz if he plays well he’ll have to pay him… and he doesn’t want to pay him… Imagine being that old, and that rich, and still being concerned with nickels and dimes…

    Alternatively Jerry doesn't want them to play Lance because he is so bad people will ask why the hell he gave up a FOURTH round pick for the guy?

    Definitely shouldn’t have ran it on that 3rd and 2 at the end of the game before the Allen run. 

    I'll defend Brady here.  The goal was to at least get a yard, keep the clock running and have a 4th & 1 that would have allowed the Bills to run the Allen sneak which has been money in the bank.

    Agree on the 4th and 3. 

     

    To be honest, I was expecting us to run the clock out on them and win by 2. They would be aggressive - to go for first downs. 2 first downs and the game would be over. Didn't expect Josh to run for 26 yards in one shot.

    The TD sealed the game because it meant that KC would have to recover an onside kick if they scored again.  Of all the possible outcomes, like the Bills getting another 1st down to run out the clock, this was the one that gave Buffalo the best chance to win.

    Is the narrative of “Beane needs to surround Allen with more talent” dead?

     

    It is in my opinion.  You can way overspend on offensive weapons to the detriment of other positions.  I think where we are sitting is just right. 

    This season has also been a great example of how Allen truly does elevate the skill players around him.  This allows Bean to be mindful of the bank.  This is also the flexibility that Mahomes gives the Chiefs.

    If you were in a position to draft any of those guys, who would you pick?

    Allen.

    the 2020 afc championship performance wasn't exactly a master class.

    Allen was solid in that game. The defense on the other hand was beyond bad.

    This is just a ridiculous take.  Mahomes was really good yesterday - made more plays with his arm than Allen.

    Mahomes was fine but IMO Allen made more top level throws then Maomes yesterday.  Both throws to Cooper, two to Samuel, one to Knox downfield, the great throw to Shakir on 3rd & 9 and a perfect throw to Samuel where the ONLY option for the Chiefs defender was to commit PI.

    Watching it live, it felt like the chiefs were unsure if they were supposed to let him score once he had the first. Was a strange play. 

    Disagree.  Even after making the first down the Chiefs had to keep Allen out of the end zone.  They could have still have held the Bills to a FG then would have got the ball back with no TO's but probably more then a minute on the clock. 

     

    In fact the Chiefs defenders looked a lot like most defenders look when Allen breaks off a long run like that - think against Indy and the called back TD run against Miami. Allen's combination of size and sneaky speed make it tough to tackle him in the open field.  The defender has to balance a couple of factors as they try to bring him down and by then it's to late.

    Wow!

    Beware the Chargers...Harbaugh is building a bully

     

    A bully?  They were lucky to get out of there with a win.  In the 2nd half the Bengal's exposed their D.

    Burrow had multiple chances at game winning drives and couldn't get it done.

    Agree but man he took some brutal hits down the stretch.

    Damn, Herbert is going to get the rep of an elite level choke artist if the Chargers lose this game.  My goodness every season we see the same thing - the guy makes all the throws and lights up the stat sheet but when it matters...............................He needs to change that narrative starting tonight or it's going to look like a fundamental flaw.

     

     

    Well that's a start for Herbert.

    Does anyone else feel like we, as fans, have become so accustomed to Josh Allen’s greatness that we’ve started to take the extraordinary for granted?

     

    This thought hit me during the 4th quarter when Allen unleashed a 40+ yard pass on the run that narrowly missed connecting with Morris. The reaction from some fans was disappointment - almost scoffing that Allen didn’t deliver the pass perfectly.

     

    It makes me wonder if we, as a fanbase, have forgotten just how rare and difficult a throw like that is? Or most of the plays Allen makes.

     

    I mean… There are only a handful of people on the planet who can even attempt a throw like that—on the move, under pressure, with defenders closing in. Yet, we’ve grown so used to his greatness that we now expect perfection, every time. And some people judge by that standard.

     

    He is not normal. It’s greatness, and it deserves to be appreciated, rather than judged every time a throw isn’t perfection.

     

     

    Agree 100%.  Think about what Allen accomplished at the end of the game.  Sure the TD run was great but when the Chiefs were revving up the comeback engine to steal the game Allen took the Bills on back to back long TD drives to win.  Those last 2 drives were masterfully directed by Allen both on the ground ad through the air.

    Allen hate.  lol.  Some of you people are so sensitive.  Watch the games. Allen is off target to Kincaid at a higher rate than anyone on the team.  I’d love to see the actual stat on this.  You think that statement is false- all good.  Anyone have stats?  This doesn’t prove much,  Kincaid catch percentage last year was 80%.  This years it’s 57%-  partly due to Kincaid 6 drops partly due to passes that weren’t ideal. 
     

    allen threw a bad pass.  Kincaid got injured diving for the bad pass.  You and others may see this as “throwing shade” at Allen but it’s just commenting on what I see.  If the throw was on target, he wouldn’t be injured.  

    Enough with the "sensitive" remarks.  It's unhinged to claim that Allen caused Kindcaid's injury by throwing a poor pass.  A one foot (at most) overthrow is a run of the mill miss in the NFL when throwing deep downfield.

     

    As far as comparing this year's catch percentage to last seasons and claiming the drop is due to Allen being off target ignores the more likley explanation that Kincaid is being covered this year by better caliber DB's and the opposing DCs are game planing to stop him in ways they weren't last season.
