This will be a simple but very revealing indication of the current team's feelings for their coach. I too will be fascinated to see what is said and with what kind of emotion.

"He’s a coaching relic routinely paralyzed by fear late in games. He never imagines what could go right with 20 seconds left in regulation, instead forever horrified of what could go wrong. Oblivious to the reality that he employs one of the sport’s most talented quarterbacks. The word you’ll hear constantly from those who’ve been around McDermott is “tight.” He’s so incomprehensibly tight, they say, players cannot help but stiffen up themselves. As if the head coach uses the 2-minute warning to administer mass lobotomies on his team." This, to me a simple fan, resonates with what I see in games and my gut instinct. "One assistant coach remembers McDermott saying in the locker room that the offense scored too fast and left the Chiefs too much time." Also, a head coach telling his team they lost because the offense scored too fast is a head coach who doesn't take accountability. If 25 insiders (even if "cherry picked" because they share a bias), have a similar view, that's a lot of smoke. I believe there's a fire.

I've thought something similar... Will Knox take snaps away from Kincaid who's a more reliable weapon, just because he's a number one guy according to his bloated salary? I hope McChoke applies the same standard of you earn your playing time to the TE group, just like he did with the CBs. We shall see.

Gunner, if our head coach is a defensive specialist and is a "bad defensive coordinator" to quote you, and he's not helping the offense or special teams excel, at least as far as I can see, exactly what does he bring to the team that warrants him keeping his job? Overall defensive philosophy? Energy? Culture? Any other abstract concept? I don't get how and why a defensive-minded coach who isn't doing a good to great job with the defense — and a lousy job holding onto leads late in the game — should hold onto his job.

Nice guy but I hope he gets engaged with the Bills offense when he comes back.

I did too. He had this really chill and zen vibe to him. Seems like a total facade or he's zen with football and a lunatic with personal relationships. Now, this could be a false accusation but with a history of making social posts like what's quoted, there seems to be a lot of smoke now and a fire looks more and more likely.

Not sure if posted but I did a quick "search" (I'm not wading through 60 pages of this) and the SI article on the matter is clear, short, and persuasive. I hope Pegula feels similarly. Of note: The chilling part of this allegation is that it echoes a previous one. In 2021, Miller’s girlfriend posted on Instagram that when she was pregnant with Miller’s child, Miller texted that he was “honestly praying for a miscarriage” and “[F---ing] disappear!!!” and “I hate you!” and “you gon’ get yours! Believe that.” ...At some point, an NFL player loses the benefit of the doubt with his team and the league. Miller should be there now. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/11/30/von-miller-domestic-violence-personal-conduct-policy

This Chiefs defeat could be the emotional highlight of my weekend.

***** yeah.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. And to see the Chiefs and Mahomes lose, of course.

How the hell do they get more time tackled in bounds!???

***** the Chiefs and the refs

And so it continues...

And so it starts...

Man, I hope penalties don't decide this outcome... I'm not feeling good that they won't.

Great kick!

I hope GB has the balls to get the first...

Really nice blocking by Packer receivers/TE's.

GB needs a TD not an FG; the latter almost ensures a loss...

F**kin' A!!!!

4th worst with 84. So not exactly the worst but not good.

GB wasted at opportunity at the end of the half... Just a one score game and KC gets the ball to start the second half. an 11-point lead would be a lot better.

Well, all right...

As long as it's not a head-injury or season-ending, I'm ok with injuries to the competition. But if it's Tyreek Hill, I'll take anything.

Love to see KC at first and goal and take two sacks to take an FG. They are still great but, to me, not quite as intimidating as before. Even if the Bills don't make the playoffs, I still want to see KC lose. This game, in the playoffs, Anything. it gives me almost as much pleasure as a Bills victory.
