    I think the Diggs or Shakir question is perhaps a matter of preference. I thought throwing to Diggs would have meant Josh could throw it a moment sooner, which would have meant an unaffected pass. He needed to be aware Dawkins was in full reverse to his left. I admit I could be wrong; perhaps he would have needed a similar amount of time for both. If so… not fussed about going for the TD.

    He may have gotten the throw to diggs off…it’s hard to say.  I’m sure he saw Dawkins getting backed up but he just needed like a split second more fight out of him and we probably win.  Even if you hit that throw to diggs it’s still an uphill battle getting into the end zone

    Asking Josh to play a perfect game is an unfair expectation that he still comes close to achieving, and probably does if Dawkins holds up for another half second.

     

    Instead of criticizing Josh, McDermott needs to be held accountable for his defense folding like origami in the playoffs against these top tier teams with franchise quarterbacks every single playoffs

    Man not even a half second…like a fraction of a second is all he needed.  Still almost got that throw there

    Think it’s fair to say Josh could improve his reads (he’d be unquestionably #1 QB if he did) AND desperately needs more help. 

    Might be true overall but he was near flawless reads wise in this game imo…I think people are taking what romo said before he even diagnosed the full play a little too seriously lol just because diggs was open for a pitch and catch doesn’t mean shakir wasn’t open for a pitch and catch td

    Diggs dropping that bomb. We end of punting in that drive. No points scored. We probably (maybe?) get at least three there if caught. 
     

    This is the one that kills me the most. Josh missing the crossing route to Diggs there on the last drive on 2nd and 9. If caught, Diggs definitely gets a first and probably goes down around the 10. It’s plays like these that made a Brady great cause he would see it, take the easy, high percentage, throw and keep the chains moving and the clock ticking. I honestly think at this point Josh will never get us over the hump because of either his inability to see plays like that or unwillingness to take the easy dump off even at crunch time. 
     

    Bass missing the FG at the end. Statistically Bass has been one of the worst kickers this season. I’ve been harping about it since the beginning of December. McD simply never trusted him the second half of the season. Last week was a giant flashing sign saying “don’t trust bass!” that McD didn’t heed. Even his XPs tonight were barely eeking in between the uprights. Now I understand if we make that FG, the chiefs still have a lot of time and two TOs, but missing it guaranteed we would lose. 

     

    Such a bad take on that 2nd and 9 play imo.  I am honestly shocked I keep seeing that posted .  You check it down to diggs there’s still pretty good odds kc keeps us out of the end zone.  Shakir was comically wide open for a td, Dawkins got backed into Josh at literally the last possible moment.  That was an easy pitch and catch td

    Definitely not with Sean. But even Josh sometimes has stinker plays that end up costing us. The 2nd and 9 no throw to Diggs on the last drive comes to mind. That is pitch and catch. You have to take that all day unless someone is uncovered in the end zone 

    I can’t believe the takes on that play lol. That was Dawkins holding up for 0.1 additional seconds from likely being the game winning td.  Shakir was comically wide open in the end zone and Dawkins got backed into Josh at the last possible moment

    I see a lot of complaining about the TD shot on 3rd down.  I for one, have no problem with it as it was called.  The route was there and the play was there to be made but late pressure forced the ball to come up a little short.  But, make no mistake about it, that was the right read in that situation.  It was a TD if he had that extra half second.  Sure, Diggs was open, but if the shot is there for the TD, you pull the trigger. 

     

    Now, I get the argument in the grand scheme of things.  Does that play need to be called in the first place or is there a better play that maybe would have given more options that would have gotten the first down to burn some more clock?  Sure.....I get that argument.  And if you want to blame someone on that play, blame Brady for calling it.  But it was called and Allen made the correct read.  It was there and was a split second away from connecting.  If you call that play, and it's there to be made, you try to make it and take the lead.  I know it's Mahomes and I know we hadn't stopped them the entire game, but this is professional football.  Score, take the lead, and then find a way to keep them out of the end zone.  Just find a way. 

    Absolutely correct read…getting in that end zone was gonna be very tough sledding... that’s as easy a pitch and catch as possible if Dawkins holds up a split second longer and was ultimately the difference in the game.  Can’t even fathom people saying different 

     

    there’s a very good chance we ultimately get held to a fg there even checking down to diggs and everyone would be all over not attempting that td throw

    Allen unnecessarily went into hero ball mode. 
     

    More than anything else, I think that is why we lost. 

    Throwing to a wide open receiver from the pocket is absolutely not hero ball lol id argue the odds of a win attempting that pass were significantly higher than if he takes the check down to diggs there…chiefs weren’t giving an inch 

     

    dawkins had to hold up like 0.1 seconds longer

    A lot of fans here seem to think the Bills can somehow win the Super Bowl in October, or maybe November one of these years.

     

    We've seen McDermott's ceiling and it came a couple of years ago.

     

    How long he sticks around until he is replaced is purely up to Pegula, which really drives me nuts.

     

    He is an IDIOT....so until Pegula announces McD is gone, it's gonna be same old same old around here.

     

     

    Being the 1 seed is a massive boost I’m tired of people pretending it’s not…playoff success and regular season success are absolutely linked

    We just going to ignore the last set of downs?  Game is there for the taking and our guy came up small.  Wide open guys underneath to keep milking the clock and moving the chains, but he can’t help himself from going for the kill shot.

     

    Blame McDermott, blame Bass, blame Beane or whoever.  Josh gets the excuses, Pat needs none.

    ‘Can’t help himself’ throwing to a wide open guy in the end zone haha how dare he.  Guarantee you we get held to a fg taking that underneath throw and we’re all here lamenting passing up a wiiiide open td. 
     

    This whole nitpicking with hindsight routine is comical

    I’d love Ben Johnson but clearly it’s not happening… we are stuck with Sean McSchottenheimer.

    This still makes me giggle…firing schottenheimer for norv turner was probably one the biggest mistakes made by an nfl franchise in history and its being used as a ‘we should fire our head coach’ argument for some reason lol

    We should but we won't.  The fake punt was the worst call I've ever seen.  Outcoached yet again by Andy Reid.  They were ready for it and stuffed it.  Putting Wrap on Kelce late in the game silenced Kelce, but it was too little too late.  We're going nowhere with McDummy, and we've wasted yet another year of Joshua Patrick Allen.

    Not to say McDermott was good either but I thought Reid was kind of bad honestly lol he mismanaged timeout usage horribly which essentially gifted us 7 points before halftime 

     

    mvs and crew made big contested catches, we didn’t make big uncontested catches

    McDermott is Schottenheimer 2.0. Not spending a cent on going to the stadium next year if he's not gone. Belichick has us a ring by now. Pegula needs to make the call. 

    How did firing schottenheimer go in SD lol

    Ultimately it comes down to coaching. Even at the end. McD knows that Bass is struggling and so does Brady. Why did we even kick there?? ? Even if Bass gets the FG we probably lose this game because the Chiefs get into winning FG range easily when they get the ball back. Once we didnt get the touchdown we lost.

     

    McD just isnt up to the job when it comes to this high stress crucial decisions.

    This is getting thumbs ups?  Lol 4th and 9 you’ve gotta take the fg it is absolutely insanity to do otherwise 

     

    probably lose if we get the fg yea maybe…but the odds of converting that 4th and 9 were extraordinarily low 

     

    edit: y’all are crazy 😂. Getting stopped on that 4th and 9 was probably like a 75% chance and then you look like the biggest clown in the universe

    The thought of this makes me nauseous.  We really are the San Diego Chargers during Philip Rivers prime at this point.

     

     

     

    I never wanted to believe the stories about the Bills never winning anything while their stadium was built on top of an old Native American Burial Ground, but I honestly think this team is just f**king cursed.  There is no way to explain how many times these random things constantly go the other teams way in these type of games.

    Man if y’all think we’re the chargers, firing their coach very much did not work for them 😂

     

    they actually chanted schottenheimers name the season after he was fired haha

    Allen got greedy at the exact wrong time but the play was there to be made - Jones just got the best of his man and affected the throw.

     

    Special teams under McD have been a complete clown show.  Keeping Martin this week was ludicrous and I suspect it was done in large part to try not to disrupt Bass’s fragile psyche by switching out his holder.  Bass needs to go take Ayahuasca with Rodgers this offseason, his brain is scrambled up and he’s useless.  Which I just have no sympathy for given what I’ve been through as a fan of this team.

     

    Speaking of which - Diggs had zero interest in this game.  Bookended his garbage performance by fumbling on the very first play and then casually dropping a perfectly-thrown bomb on the penultimate drive.  Not sure what happened to him mentally but he seemed to have completely checked out and I suspect we will soon be subjected to his passive-aggressive tweets and such as he starts angling for his next adventure.

     

    Finally - this game was proof positive that investing more heavily on defense is a fool’s errand.  Beane gave his star QB zero playmakers this offseason.  Wasting the career of JA17 is a war crime and Beane should be on a short leash heading into 2024.

     

    Brutal way to end the season but they gave themselves no margin for error, all year and again today.  They had to be perfect for too many games in a row and today they came up short.

    Wide open post route ain’t exactly greed… y’all are talkin like he rifled it into tight coverage haha if he checked it down to diggs and we got held out of the end zone still(probable), we’d all be complaining he didn’t attempt that wide open td throw
