We were missing one CB - how many players were KC missing in secondary? And we still lost.

This year was it. First our regular season schedule was pretty decent in terms of ‘easiness’, then the Colts and Chargers bowed out in week eighteen, lining up a better match up against the Pats, followed by the Bengals beating Derrick Henry’s Titans, the Packers and the Bucs bowing out… sorry, it was our chance and we blew it. We gifted it to Mahomes and KC. I doubt things will fall into play so readily next season.

We were a season or two behind the Chiefs last year too. All we’re getting is the same reasoning as last year after the same result - a defeat.

Josh could very easily be another Jim Kelly - a great ambassador and a fantastic QB but nothing to show for it.

That’s (probably) the case this year but with Burrow and Herbert developing plus Wilson floating around it won’t necessarily be the case moving forward.

It’s more, no matter what we do, no matter who we have, we always find a way to lose.

FAs will be lining up to go to KC to play with Mahomes. We’ll be second choice if they don’t want them.

I wish I could believe you. It just feels like we’ll always be the bridesmaids (at best) and never the bride.

Difference is the Chiefs lost then came back at won (I’ll be amazed if they don’t win the SB this year). We lost and lost again. They learn, we don’t. Same old crap from the same old franchise.

OK, I’ll believe it when I see it because in all likelihood we’ll #### it up. Just as always.

Other than Josh (and Gabe) there’s nothing positive to take from tonight.

Josh is why I got into the Bills. He is one of the new generation of QBs, one of the finest in the NFL. But I would have preferred him to have a dreadful game tonight but we snuck through 9-6.

Four Super Bowls - how many wins?

I don't think the lack of targeting Diggs can be used as a reason behind the loss - we put up 36 points in KC.

As I said earlier, I'm sure the same was said of Kelly.

KC may have won in regulation had Mathieu not gone down. Excuses, excuses.

And then mess up in the post season again.

By calling out the offense instead?

No. This was the chance and we blew it. The path was eased for us by others and we simply couldn't do what was asked. Can't see it working out so well in the future.

We'll be back where? The play offs? Maybe another Championship game? Woohoo.

Wait - Morse is saying the offense should have scored more than 36 away at KC???

We'd go 4-0 down and the reserves would play the other three.

This was set up for us - Chargers and Colts knocked out in week 18 who are not a great match up, then the Packers and Bucs fall. This was it and we still find a way to mess it up. Jerry Sullivan can direct "embarrassed" to anyone on the coaching staff or defense tonight and deserves more than a scathing response. KC didn't win; we lost.

We probably said that with Jim Kelly. How many Super Bowls did we win?

Can't really blame the kick it deep after run back on the previous punt.
