90sBills

The season average is misleading for rookies. Worthy got better as the season progressed and had his best game in the most important game so far. That’s a better indicator. Coleman got worse. Let’s hope the kid takes a big jump next season.

I heard Candyland…

Hurts played out of his mind in the last Super Bowl matchup so he has it in him. Their two receivers are studs. The run game, of course, is amazing and should be featured. They also have the revenge factor working for them. It’s going to be a good competitive game. I’ll be taking Philly. Hopefully action comes in on KC to drive up that line.

The Eagles will have something to say about that. They do two things well that are KC’s weaknesses. They have a remarkable running game with Saquon and they get pressure up the middle on defense. That’s Mahomes’ kryptonite. 4-peat? Man if that happens might as well dissolve the NFL.

You’re right of course. But expectations are often not met in athletics. Happens all the time all across professional sports.

It was brutal for Andrews as I’m sure Kincaid is devastated as well. But their two catches are not similar at all. It’s like sinking a 2-ft tap in putt vs trying to make a 10fter to win a major. Yeah pros should be able to make both but 1 is significantly easier.

Exactly! Makes no sense. Yeah that ball hit the ground. If it wasn’t for the illegal holding flag called on us I’d be more pissed. They were going to get the ball with a first down anyway.

A lot of people say this and I don’t get it. Why would this be the case? It’s not like casinos are barring you from betting on KC. If the NFL is intentionally favoring KC why not just put $ on them and profit. Why would casinos be in favor of influencing an outcome for KC? That would cost them $.

Von says hello.

Absolutely! They can call it the Loser Bowl and have trophies and everything.

Then you’d would have teams shutting it down early after a playoff spot is secured. I like the bye. It’s a prize for excellence in the regular season. The number 1 seeds should get advantages because they earned it. That’s how Pittsburgh and Big Ben did it. Avoided the Pats.

There’s always something. No matter where the game is it still has to be played. How about just be better and win.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it was his fault we lost. It was a team loss. What I am saying is the defense held KC to a fg and gave the offense a chance to win at the end. At that point many of us thought we’d win. It was a legacy defining moment for him. Elite QBs relish these opportunities to win big games. Couldn’t get it done.

Exactly. Mahomes even gifted us a turnover for a 10-14pt swing and we still lost. Allen had more than 1 down to advance the stick. What happened the first 3 downs? If you think that was Allen’s best performance I don’t know what to say. I’ve seen his best many times and I believe his best on Sunday would’ve been a winning TD on that drive. He was still good but not lights out.

The defense got the right stop at the end to give the offense a chance to win the game with 3min left. Allen playing lights out would’ve finished that drive with a TD. He was good after a shaky start but he was not lights out Allen. We needed that guy for this game.

It was a ball the was dying short and away from his momentum. He was in a full sprint away from the ball and had to reverse his weight shift. It was the best throw Allen could make under the circumstances but it wasn’t an easy ball to catch. It shouldn’t have gotten to that anyway if they were efficient in the 1st 3 downs.

For every Sky Moore they make up with a Rashee Rice and Xavior Worthy. Nobody hits all the time but they have definitely gotten their fair share in recent drafts.

We got a lot of lucky breaks as well. Got the turnover from Mahomes in the redzone and drove the field. That’s a 10-14pt swing. All of our fumbles were recovered by the offense. A couple of wacky throws from Allen early that could’ve been picks. Then, of course, the defense miraculously held KC to a fg on that last drive to give the offense and Allen a chance to be heroes. We got plenty of breaks to win this game. Just weren’t good enough.

This is because KC is always thinking ahead during the regular season. They used Bills film study of their plays against them. Going into this game you can tell Mahomes would be using his legs extensively after not attempting a rush during the regular season meeting. Our coaching staff is always a day late and a dollar short.

Yeah I know it’s blasphemy but I agree. There’s been 3 QBs in my lifetime that displayed this clutch trait consistently. They’re Montana, Brady, and now Mahomes. No surprise all three have multiple SB’s.

It’s not the ‘85 Bears defense but they did managed to hold the 2 times defending champs to a fg with 3 minutes left. That gave our elite qb a chance to drive for the winning score. That’s all you could ask from your defense at that moment of the game. Flip the situation around. Had KC’s defense held Allen and the offense to a fg with 3 minutes left for Mahomes they’d be proclaimed as a top defense today because Mahomes and their offense would finish that game off with a TD. That’s what’s required from elite QBs to win championship games. We were in position and couldn’t execute. Another year another opportunity squandered by the offense in the waning minutes.

Even when they mess up it benefits them.

You mean have our elite qb execute a game winning drive with 3 minutes to go? Is that allowed?

I think the Eagles have a great shot. Dominant Dline and superior rushing attack. Both are things KC weaknesses. Plus they have the revenge factor on their side. And Vegas made them a slight dog which is perfect for me as I will be betting on them. But even if they manage to beat KC it won’t take the sting out of yesterday’s loss. That’s a Bills thing that only the Bills can resolve by beating KC in the playoffs.

Yeah maybe one of these years KC could play all backups on the oline so we could beat crush them the same way TB did that one time. Edit: Oh forgot to add that Mahomes played with turf toe that required surgery days after that game too. Yeah if only those conditions could exist for our playoff games with KC. I’d like our chances then.
