Also did you notice how on multiple occasions there were two WR's close together 15 - 20 yards downfield which is a big no, no? And guess what WR's were messing up their patterns.

Not to mention that the last drive which was officially 84 yards but the Bills had to overcome TWO holding penalties and an illegal procedure making it essentially a 100 yard drive to lock up the game.

Peterman lives!

I was thinking the same thing. Damn there's been a lot of INT's today.

As you said the key was that the Bills did not have a viable threat in the boundary game and the Colts played off that and adjusted their D accordingly. But in the end Hollins made some nice plays and the Bills playing a condensed offense scored 23 points and amassed 415 yards. And this was against a very good Colts D on the road.

But the Bills won because of he clutch play of Allen at the end of the 1st half and on that last drive.

His TD run was nice but his 2 carries for 30 yards on that last TD drive were sublime. Only other guy that does that IMO is Larmar Jackson.

And it's not like most of his TD's are half yard tush push affairs. Today he went 13 yards for one.

That loss by Indy was by the biggest margin (10 points) of the year. Their other 5 losses were all one score games.

Imagine you're an Arizona fan and you have to listen to the tongue bath that these announcers are giving Rogers and the Jets.

Are you serious about Allen? I don't care that he had 2 bad INT's which only led to 3 points. The drives he orchestrated at the end of the 1st half and at the end of the game were masterful. Both drives started at the 10 and in the 2nd drive Allen had to overcome TWO holding penalties. Those 10 points were the difference.

"we got an offensive quality control job open if you need it"

Chris Brown & Eric Wood say no.

The offensive skill player talent on the Lions is superior to the Bills and that is not debatable IMO.

Eye in the sky should help on all 15 yard penalties. They called TB for an offensive face mask when in fact it was a simple holding of the shoulder pad. In a tight game that 5 yard difference is a big deal. An eye in the sky assist would have corrected the egregious miss of a clear Face Mask in the Vikings game and would have overturned the penalty on Rapp in Sunday's game.

With less talent?

The key is Cooper. If he's ready to come back this week then they should hold tight at WR even if Coleman is out for a long time. However, if they think Cooper may be out for several more weeks and Coleman is out long term it would be criminally negligent not to add quality to what would be a seriously depleted Bills WR group.

I agree on the first 3 points as this is the best O line, RB & TE groups. But the WR's are probably the 2nd worst after 2018. It's also the weakest defense the Bills have had in the Allen era. Fortunately though this is the best Allen we've had and that is making all the difference.

Probably not but it would have cancelled a decent run that made it 3rd and less then 1 from the 2. It would have been 2nd & 11 and with the rain pouring down who knows? Bottom line is that for the NFL to continually let this guy and by extension the Chiefs get away with these obvious pre snap penalties is undermining the faith in the league. I hate incompetent officiating but figure that over time it will even out. But what we're seeing here over and over again is something else and much more suspicious.

Because the refs would probably call off sides on the DE.

Read the comments at the X post. The NFL has a real problem with the almost universal perception that at critical points in a game the refs favor the Chiefs. This is not good for the credibility of the league.

It makes me sick to see that. I have no doubt that the NFL told the refs not to call a holding penalty on Miami when it involved protecting Tua. Call me a conspiracy nut but there is no way the league wants to see Tua withering on the turf. I will be real curious going forward to see how many flags for holding are called going forward on Tua pass plays.

Like Boles, McD would have had a misplaced faith in his defense.

Boles lacks any situational understanding of the game. It was clear that his defense was falling apart. You go for 2 and then hope you can hold KC off for 30 seconds. The overall chance of that succeeding is way higher then willingly going to OT at Arrowhead against Mahomes/Reid.

Judas Priest how do the refs miss the tackle moving early again? That would have been a big penalty that might have forced a FG. If the NFL wants people not to think they're giving the Chiefs breaks at critical moments in the game then they must call that. This is either pure incompetence or in your face cheating.
