As long as it screws the chiefs somehow I'm good with it

Allen/Reid would be better than Mahomes/McDermott all else being equal.

Special teams change and I could see an external defensive coordinator with McD still calling plays.

No Burrow. Weaker KC. Finished the season reasonably strong. Mahomes comes to Buffalo. Purdy or Goff waiting on the other side. I know this team wasn't dominant bur yeah I kind of thought it'd happen

Other than Poyer's forced fumble, the defense essentially made ZERO plays last night. If it weren't for the offense's time of possession, we could have given up 50 last night.

Homefield advantage is nice but did the Chiefs have a single false start, delay of game, or even miscommunication on offense? I can't stand Mahomes and Reid but they were ready. I know there's more to it than that but the Chiefs didn't seem phased.

I'm trying to decide what kind of deal/situation I'd even take him back on. WR in round 1 plus a 2 year $10M deal. I could probably handle that. WR's are Diggs, Shakir, Rookie. Then Davis as the #4 deep threat/blocking WR. Steep price for that player and he'll get more than that but that's about all I could handle for him to be back.

I would say 7 new starters out of the 22 next year. 1-2 on offense and 5 on defense. Only guys on defense who definitely have a role IMO are Oliver, Milano, Bernard, Douglas, Benford, Johnson. It's possible some guys will be back and starting like Floyd or Jones but it's going to be tough to do that and upgrade WR and bring in the necessary depth.

Josh has to play a perfect game for the team to have a chance in the playoffs. Even then it may not be enough. He's going to have to find a way to be even better.

Nothing will bring me happiness but I do appreciate the thread

Bass, Sherfield, Miller

I know it would have still required a miracle offensively but disappointing our defense couldn't force a 3 and out on the very last series when you knew the Chiefs would run the ball 3 times. Really didn't even put up a fight

Like I've said in other threads. These were the last 3 plays once we got it down to the 28 yard line 1st down - Cook 1 yard run *2 minute warning* 2nd down - incomplete to Shakir 3rd down - incomplete to nobody really Not running the ball with Allen on any of those 3 plays was a mistake. You could have made for a shorter field goal while also taking time off the clock or forcing KC to use timeouts. You could have picked up a first down and drained the clock further. You could have made it a manageable 4th down. Whether it's Brady not calling a designed run or Allen just not taking off, I just don't understand not letting your best player make a play using his legs which the Chiefs hadn't stopped all game.

I liked Brady's playcalling for the most part. Give him a full off-season and I think you'll see a better playbook. But still not sure the offense has the horses other than Josh no matter who the coordinator is.

It sucks that Allen has to play a perfect game just to win a divisional game at home and even that may not be enough.

I replayed moments in my head all night. Hardly slept. The hardest part for me is just that the season is over. Devastated. But ready to do it again next season.

I think he got hit but I still don't disagree. My main point was I would have used Allen's legs the rest of the way. It was successful all game. And yes Josh could have just run it himself. I think the inability for the defensive line to get an ounce of pressure on Mahomes and the Diggs/Sherfield drops cost us the game so I don't want to put too much on those last 3 playcalls.

Once we got to the 2 minute warning (and the play before), the only play I may have called was a Josh run. Worst case scenario is it drains clock and/or forces the chiefs to use a timeout and gives Bass a shorter field goal. Best case wss he continued having success and drained the clock leading to a game winning TD. Or I throw a simple short route to Kincaid Joe Brady called a great game but I didn't love the last 3 plays

I didn't love the James Cook run on 1st down that led to the 2 minute warning. The chiefs had stopped that play a few times. And at that point the ball stays in Josh's hands for the rest of the game for me. I also think we didn't use Kincaid enough

I blame Bass among quite a few others. But he definitely needs blame. And a lot of it.

If you want to win a Super Bowl you have to make plays Diggs didn't Sherfield didn't The entire defensive line didn't Bass didn't This team had injuries. Those injuries mattered. But at the end of the day if one or two guys make a play we are headed to Baltimore

I know there are some injuries but the defense has been awful

Might as well blitz. Mahomes is picking the back 7 apart

This half is going to be all Pacheco and kelce. Gotta shut it down

You're gonna have to tackle with a little more effort and strength today
