Beane said his number one priority this past off-season was drafting players who affected the QB. Rousseau and Basham aren’t athletic freaks, so after this game I’m sure he’s thinking “we need more team speed.” Who knows, had they selected Creed Humphrey (10 RAS) in round 2 instead of Basham, maybe the Chiefs don’t make it this far with such an important piece missing from their OL.

Don’t cut him, but I would absolutely try to trade him this off-season. See how other teams value him and what they’d be willing to give. I’m at the point where Klein and Milano on the field offers no significant drop off.

Does any other franchise have more last second gut wrenching losses in the biggest games?

Running prevent D PREVENTS a W every single damn time. Would’ve been okay getting burnt with sending 5, but absolutely don’t allow them easy chunk plays! They only needed a FG, not a TD. Just gut wrenching.

Fully believe had the Bills won that game, they win the Super Bowl. Just an absolute gut wrenching loss and now we have to wait for half a year to start all over. Go Bengals! Go Rams! Anyone but the Chiefs.

This loss wasn’t squarely on Edmunds, but I’m not re-signing him to anything above what Milano makes. Let some other team overpay him, he’s NOT a game changer despite what some of you would like to believe.

Chiefs fans LOVE to see the ball taken out of Allen’s hand.

I don’t ever want to hear that Edmunds takes away the middle again.

If Dane had awareness he would’ve picked that.

Brady still throws one of the prettiest deep balls ever, which we really got to see shine (unfortunately) when he had Randy Moss.

I don’t know Allen’s deep ball numbers in comparison to the test of the league, but it does seem like it has been his weakness. Passes that travel 40+ yards through the air.

According to the Chiefs MLB, Anthony Hitchens, Spags plans to be very aggressive with his scheme and corners today. He said that if they’re going to get beat by this Bills offense, it’ll have to be over the top. Obviously anything said pregame has to be taken with a grain of salt, because they could come out doing the exact opposite.

The team is aware what’s at stake, but I don’t think it changes focus, or adds anything extra. Whether the game was in Nashville next week, or Buffalo, they’d go out in the same way to try to beat the Chiefs.

Road warriors! Will tomorrow’s visitors win as well? I know at least one of them will…

Looked like chickens with their heads jerking from left to right 😂

Went poking around on the Bengals board. They’re understandably excited. When asked who they want to face next, 13 have voted so far and only 2 want to see the Bills. They all say that KC is the weaker of the two. Just a little outside perspective.

Edmunds isn’t a bust, but he’s not an impact player. Money talks, so we’ll see how the team values him after next season. For now, we’ve got 3 more games to win! And I hope he brings his A+ game every single one, because we’ll need it.

Brown = Eric Moulds

Titans have their entire offensive weaponry, correct? Henry, Brown, and Jones, don’t know how many games they’ve all played together, but the Titans at full strength are a (physical) problem.

I get so tiiiiiirre hearing Chiefs fans say they’re a totally different team from earlier in the season but will then mention in the same breath how the Bills lost to the Jaguars. How many weeks ago was that? They add Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram this time, but subtract Rashad Fenton. We add Harrison Phillips and Matt Milano, but subtract Tre White. Given the Chiefs inconsistencies all year, most recently against the Broncos, despite what their fans want to believe, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills go into Arrowhead and again win by double digits. I’m going with a score of 30-21 though, in a game that feels like it should’ve been a bigger Bills victory.

I want more speed on the defensive side of the ball too, particularly in the front 7. Micah Parsons ran an ungodly 4.36 and has the instincts to boot, so he plays that fast. Sadly a player that dynamic won’t be around at #32. But a heat seeking missle at LB, a speed DE, or a big ugly disruptor like Jordan Davis is what I want.

He also snuck the ball to the wrong gap - the one the Titans said they were advised he always sneaks to. If you look at the overhead shot of the play, if he sneaks behind the right guard he may barrel in for a TD. The left side was far too bunched up, 2 players within centimeters of each other and the player on the end was arguably their best DL.

I’ve noticed the Chiefs social media team isn’t putting out any instagram posts or tweets they’ll later regret this time. All is mum over there… 🤐

Anyone remember that report about Belichick scoffing at the notion that Allen was an MVP candidate last season? To that point in the season, the Bills had played the Pats once and barely won thanks to Cam’s fumble. Allen had never really had great success against Bill, but after that report (I think by Simms), he came out and really carved up the Pats in the 38-9 victory on their turf. I think Belichick’s feelings on Allen as a player and QB have changed drastically since that specific game.

I wonder, from a physical or skill standpoint, besides deep ball accuracy, what does Mahomes have over Allen? Field vision? I think they’re similar there. Anticipation/throwing receivers open? Slight edge Mahomes? What else?
