Noah Brown had 567 yards on 55 targets. Gabe Davis? 746 yards on 88 targets.
Yes that’s not exactly what I meant lol gabe Davis had a big chunk of wide open drops on those targets and likely had twice as many snaps or more
those numbers being thrown around don’t really tell the whole story imo

Why do people think this is a thing, he's not going there, he's not coming here, not the Texans, hell probably not even the ***** Jaguars even though they suck even still they're still to close to a step removed from being relevant enough in the conference for if they trade him there it blowing up in their face when they play them in the regular season for playoff seeding and even worse in the actual playoffs.
I wonder what the chiefs cap situation looks like after that jones deal they’ve gotta be pretty close to done

An older Gabe Davis.
Davis: 45 catches for 746 yards, 16.6 avg. 6'2" 210.
Brown: 33 catches for 567 yards, 17.2 avg. 6'2" 215.
I’d be curious to compare opportunities though as Davis had a ton and blew a lot of them 😂. His 45/746 was immensely disappointing imo

Just stop. Did not even make it to the AFCCG. Stats like this mean squat. Just win, baby.
One player can be clutch when the rest of the team very much is not lol that appears to be what is happening
no idea how diggs can drop that pretty much uncontested deep ball when the jag mvs is hauling in contested catches all playoffs

I think both will stay. The Chiefs have some cap questions, sure. But I can get them to $48m in cap space without a single "difficult" cut.
That is more than enough for a relatively front loaded deal for Jones and backloaded deal for Sneed.
Its def possible…but I’ve seen a lot of talk like ‘the defense is gonna be as good as this past season AND they’re gonna sign some big time wrs’ I dont think they can have both really.
the prevailing opinion seems to be ‘this was a down year and they’re only gonna get better’ but pretty much all their resources would have to get thrown at maintaining that defense -

How'd that work out for us?!?.........Cook......just Cook.
Problem with our HC and FO is, they like to draft guys out of scheme with our current personnel and expect to fit a square peg in a round hole.
That’s a trade off every team makes not just us. If you’re only open to perfect scheme fits the amount you have to reach to get a good player that did exactly what you’re trying to do in college can grow considerably
this is not a unique buffalo bills deficiency at all lol

I doubt it, especially with Jones. He held out at the beginning of the season because he wants Aaron Donald money. He has proven he deserves Aaron Donald money even more than Aaron Donald! The same with Snead. They will go with whoever offers the most money. Once players have the rings...and they know they are a big reason as to why the team won the ring, the money becomes a huge priority.
I really don’t think he will either…I think they probably lock up sneed and then jones walks. Maybe they grab a more reliable wr to try to even out the loss with the other side of the ball but jones is just stupid good. They’ll get worse overall if he walks no matter what they do. Sneed and jones would probably cost them like 50m+ per year
i mean we’ve all said it before and been wrong so it sounds kind of dumb saying it now 😂 but I think things are only gonna get tougher for them as time goes on with Kelce inching towards retirement and probably losing jones. This whole ‘it was a down year and they still won’ thing isn’t making sense to me I don’t really see a path to them being better next season.
the offense might look a little prettier but they had jags stepping up all playoffs anyway. Mvs couldn’t catch a cold in the regular season and he made a couple huge plays in multiple playoff games.
its either keep jones and make no splash upgrades anywhere else or the reverse

After seeing the Chiefs not called for frequent and blatant holds I thought it was unfortunate that the 49rs backup TE got called on their last drive for something that really didn't look like much to me. Total game changer when the refs appeared to want to let them play.
If you can’t pressure the chiefs with 4 you need absolute gods in the secondary and people are complaining about defensive picks? Lol. I don’t get it. The playoff officiating makes it nearly impossible to pressure them with 4. Bosa got completely taken out of the game by just getting held. Seemed like the chiefs oline played it safe in the first half not knowing the extent of what they were gonna get away with then the second half was an absolute clown show

I'm pretty sure most fans agree with this, but who expects that to honestly change? If McDivisional can still have a job after trading Mahomes to the guy that fired him during his very first draft here, why wouldn't he still wield serious influence on all draft and FA decisions?
The sad reality is after watching the Chiefs defense carry them to another championship this year and teams like the Ravens and 49ers also play them down to the wire because of their respective strength on that side of the ball, I can almost guarantee that this draft (and what FA money is going to be there) is going to be defense heavy yet again especially since that's where most of the expected roster turnover is coming from.
The sad reality is we’re gonna try to draft the type of players that propelled kc to a championship and Baltimore to an afc championship and is also the side of the ball where the bulk of the players were losing are haha that’s a weird take to slap ‘sad reality’ in front of.
I wish they can have one of y’all be gm for a season and we can watch you run the franchise straight into the ground 😂. If we don’t draft a safety earlier in the draft we are absolute idiots and you will complain about the pick 100% lol
We literally lost the game in large part because we were missing two huge and recent great defensive picks

Mahomes won this year because he has Spags, a great secondary and Chris Jones.
Thankfully sneed and jones are free agents and will get huge offers from a bunch of teams. Maybe they take team friendly deals to stay though
jones was the X factor all playoffs…can’t even stop him by egregiously holding him and egregious holds were going uncalled the entire playoffs

While it's nice they addressed the fact that each team is now guaranteed at least one possession, that still leaves the situation of is it really fair that if both teams are the same after the first possession then the team with the 3rd possession can win it with no ability to respond for the other?
I'd say no.
I'm not sure why the NFL doesn't just go to the college OT format. It clearly is the most fair, as both teams are guaranteed the same number of possessions, and it comes down to which team scores more points on the same number of possessions, not which team has the ball for the 3rd possession of the game is still tied after the first 2.
The NFL still has it wrong even with their "fix" in the playoffs IMO.
Perhaps that is why Shanahan took the ball first? Never thought of this possibility but if both teams scored TDs or FGs or had to punt, then the team with the 3rd possession only needs a FG to win the game.
The team matching with a td has the option to go for two which they’d undoubtedly take advantage of. That is why Shanahan took the ball first though cuz if you score a td you pressure the other team into a two point attempt if they match and he likely had a play ready to go on defense that he liked.
if that ever happens that 2 point attempt will probably be one of the most exciting plays in nfl history haha
really both teams have an attempt to be the team that ends the game on offense so it’s about as fair as it could get-

My working theory is that Shanahan didn't know the overtime rules, either. It's the only explanation for that bizarre decision to take the ball first.
I still think there’s some merit to it…obviously didn’t work out that way though and the players not knowing the rules is a huge red flag against Shanahan regardless so this is not to defend him at all lol
if it goes fg-fg you win on just another fg. And if it goes td-td the other team is gonna go for two and you’ve got a shot to stop it for the win. I think two point conversions are successful a little less than half the time
you can def make the case for going for that fourth and medium rather than settling for the fg but that’s pretty low percentage too with how good that chiefs defense has been
I think they were just destined to lose once they didn’t connect on that third down play lol
the other team knows they need a fg and are in four down territory the way it worked out but it’s only up until fg range more than likely.

Started out in agreement but idk that they would have won if not for that special teams play. 49ers just had no answers in that second half. Their first three drives after halftime they totaled -3 yards and the defense started to gas out

The Bills are already 4th best odds to win SB next year. I think when you are close and you havn't made it yet, there is a tendency to overanalyze everything.
You have Josh Allen and a talented roster.
I'd compare the current Bills team VS the Chiefs similar to the 70's Steelers and Raiders. The Raiders were close...and the imaculate reception got them ...kind of similar to 13 seconds. Finally the Raiders broke through in the middle of Pittsburgs run whe the Steelers made it to the AFCCG with both their 1 and 2 RB's injured and unable to play. The Raiders won and went on to win the super bowl. The Steelers would go on to win 2 more in that decade and then Raiders would win a couple in the early 80's.
I don't think every little thing about what the Raiders were doing needed to come into question and be nit picked to death. They were on the right track to building a team capable of winning a title, but so were the Steelers. Winning titles is hard and often you have to play against and overcome another really good team......even as your roster is good, your team is good, your coaching is good.
I think the Bills are right there, they just simply haven't gotten over the hump...no amount of analysis etc is going to solve a problem you really don't have. When the time comes around again, the Bills will have to beat some good teams to win a title, even as the Bills ARE a good team that other teams have to overcome to win.
That does seem to be what’s happening around here…people are talkin like the chiefs are blowing us out every game but the last two of those playoff matchups easily could’ve gone the other way (as could the regular season matchup that we won)
if we were losing two score+ type games and getting clearly outclassed like that afc championship game a few years back I’d feel a lot more hopeless

I think they have one of the highest ratios of elite level players, yes (as are the 9ers). And that elite guys and JAGs model is more proven than trying to be good everywhere IMO.
Their jags showed up big in a few of those playoff games…don’t think they would’ve won it all if their jags played like jags. Mvs made a couple huge plays against the bills and ravens then almost cost them in the Super Bowl running backwards 10 yards after a catch haha
that was the big difference in bills chiefs to me…mvs made that great highly contested catch and diggs dropped a virtually wide open bomb in an extremely tight game. The guy getting paid to make clutch difficult plays couldn’t catch a routine ball and the jag reeled in a difficult catch

They did not play a ton more man than us. They were overwhelmingly a zone coverage team. They held and committed a lot of PI. Do I think they were more physical than us? Yea probably but they were not a press man team. They played zone with DB with length and two safeties that had corner like coverage skills. It was extremely similar to the scheme here.
EDIT: what I will say is there is an argument that the cover 3 / cover 1 scheme peaked in the last decade - Seattle x2, Carolina, Atlanta all made Superbowls and were regular playoff teams. The Jags ran it in that great year they had where they made the conference Championship game. Even the Bills are more hybrid now than they were. Although having said that the Eagles ran it in 2022 and were a lot worse when they transitioned away in 2023.
I think we were on the right track and the von injury killed us. Need an absolute freak pass rusher that can beat olinemen that are getting away with super obvious holds cuz they weren’t calling diddly in the playoffs 😂
if you can’t pressure mahomes with 4 it’s a big time uphill battle
We don’t really have that pass rushing game changer in the front 7…bunch of good players but nobody a level above that. Doesn’t feel like a coverage scheme issue to me

I remember a couple of years ago when the Bills were traditionally pretty healthy. These past two seasons have been brutal.
We actually had really good depth this year which is the frustrating part…our LBers got ravaged though…no Milano,no Bernard,no rapp who could function in an lb type role and Dodson playing noticeably injured. If those injuries were a little more spread out to other position groups we would’ve been a lot better off
swap Bolton for aj klein and I don’t think the chiefs make it out of the first round…

Putting AJ Klein on the field over Dorian Williams. Unfortunately that decision sunk our chances of winning the game. McDermott chose the safe comfortable option and we proceeded to get whipped up and down the field because of it.
Because Allen has outplayed Mahomes in every head to head matchup since 2021. The QB is important enough to overcome every other disadvantage. If Mahomes had outplayed Allen one of those times it would have been a blowout loss.
People are really underselling how well Josh has played against the chiefs lol especially considering how good their defense was this season.
if the offense wasn’t near perfect we would’ve probably lost that game by 20+…the top disparity was huge. Klein was just too big of a liability to cover up and the chiefs victimized him. I don’t think any of the playoff teams would’ve won any of their games with Klein playing a meaningful role on their defense for 60 minutes.
I understand the ‘injuries are no excuse’ people up to a point but the ghost of aj klein starting at linebacker against one of the best qbs of all time is a huge uphill battle lol kind of crazy we almost pulled that out…Brady had spags’ number pretty much all night

Just wait during this off season when KC adds top end wide receivers for Mahomes. There is a good chance they will get even better. I will agree with the poster who mentioned that KC’s offensive line gets away with a ton of egregious holding (arms wrapped around necks, upper body tackles, etc.). Not saying that won them the game, but sure buys Mahomes time.
If they lose Chris jones they’d still be behind where they were at this season even if they get some better wrs. May not happen but I guess we’ll see. Either way they’re gonna have to back up the brinks truck for him if he stays lol
kc definitely leans into the playoff officiating…i think they let a ton go both ways but letting both olines hold was a pretty big benefit to kc who looked hapless when sf was getting a ton of pressure with 4 in the first half. They’re real grabby in the secondary too. Hard to hate on them for taking advantage though as I wouldn’t say the game was unfairly officiated by any means

There is a difference between regular season and playoff football. Something the Bills are 0-3 against the Chiefs in. If it’s 50/50 the Bills would have won one of themThere really isn’t that big of a difference between two top teams battling for seeding in the regular season and a playoff game. The 1 seed is insanely important with the 2 seed no longer getting a bye that those are all getting treated as playoff games.
if we were losing by 2-3 scores in the playoffs and winning in the regular season I’d see where you were coming from a little more but the last two playoff games and regular season game absolutely could’ve gone either way. A 3 game sample size is just way too small to make inferences on especially when 2 of those games were ridiculously close
If there is a team that potentially has our number I think it’s the bengals not the chiefs

When the game was on the line in OT, Mahomes drove his team down the field for the SB winning TD. That is clutch.
I love Josh as our QB but he had the chance to win that game against the chiefs by keeping the ball till the end; instead he went for Hero ball and misfired. That is the difference between the two...it is marginal..but that is what wins the SB
If we don't misfire on that lsat drive and forcing to kick a 44 yard FG (with a shaky kicker) then we are moving to the AFCC....But we failed. that is the difference between the two teams.
The game was only close enough for a throw late to win it because the offense was near flawless…that was an absolute masterclass of offense lol the list of teams that have dominated a spags defense like that is very short
if we didn’t have a practice squad level lb for the chiefs to pick on there’s no shot we lose that game

Yes, this is why I wanted to point out the whole roster discrepancies. Coaching and ST's alone is a huge undeniable difference. I think we can all agree on that. Offensively both teams are going to score that is also established. I think defensively when push comes to shove the Chiefs are better. So literally 3 out of the 4 phases favor the Chiefs right now.
Coaching oh yea…can’t disagree with you there. I do think Brady stumped spags a bit in the last matchup but even when we’re not ravaged at LB mahomes hasn’t had too much trouble against our scheme outside of an outlier game
our offense controlled the game so well in that playoff game that it almost played good enough defense to win the game 😂.
