I disagree with that assertion- but given who they have, I don’t really fault the offensive play calling. What Buffalo did right before the 2 minute was exactly what they should have done. Ideally you get a first down or 2 and the game is over, but given how bad the offense is, running twice and giving Taylor a run/pass chance is exactly the right call.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 CBS Sports Booth Recap: Gumbel and Green Talk Bills vs. Chiefs (2:16) CBS Sports: Bills pick off Smith in closing minutes, beat Chiefs 16-10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Tyrod Taylor did exactly what he spent the first half of the season doing, back when the Buffalo Bills were off to a hot start and his job was never in question. He threw for 183 yards and a touchdown. He kept plays alive with his feet. He made sure to avoid interceptions. Taylor's steady performance against Kansas City on Sunday dovetailed nicely with a stellar game by the Buffalo defense, capped off by Tre'Davious White's interception with about a minute remaining that clinched a much-needed 16-10 victory over Alex Smith and the Chiefs.

Manther Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer The Bills held the Chiefs to one first down in the first half Sunday, the fewest first downs allowed before halftime by Buffalo since 2001, when the Saints had one against the Bills. The Chiefs' offensive struggles were a combination of very spotty passing by Alex Smith and Buffalo's much-maligned run defense finally clamping down and holding Kareem Hunt to four yards on five carries. My disappointment is if you can play defense that well every 16 years the game should be put away and it was not even close to the case! Bad coaching and ideas on how to win! Jauron ball.

H2o Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 No matter what anyone else has negative to say, I am just happy we added one to the win column. The defense looked prepared this week and the offensive gameplan was enough to get it done. Good win today in a hostile environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 CBS Sports: NFL Week 12 Grades: Bears get an 'F' for historically bad showing, Chiefs also fail Buffalo 16-10 over Kansas City Bills: B+ Tyrod Taylor wasn't great in this game, but one thing he didn't do was throw five interceptions. Taylor threw for 183 yards and one touchdown and then let the Bills' defense do the rest. The Bills completely bottled up Kareem Hunt, holding him to just 17 yards, which was the rookie running back's lowest total of the year. The Bills defense needed a game like this after getting lit up for 54, 57 and 34 points over the past three weeks. Chiefs: F It seems that the wheels have now completely fallen off the wagon in Kansas City. The Chiefs only totaled 57 yards in the first half, and somehow, things only got worse after that. If there's a panic button in the Chiefs' locker room, someone needs to push it now. As bad as the Chiefs have been in recent weeks, this game might have been rock bottom: They lost to a reeling Bills team and for the first time all season, didn't produce at least 250 yards of total offense (236).

JohnC Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: Some very good and some criminally bad coaching this game. We did what we had to, but we are lucky the Chiefs turned into the Bills the last month or so. They made more questionable calls than we did. Next year Mahomes will be starting for KC. Our coaches are coaching as if they are more afraid of the qb making a mistake more than a play. It seems as if their instructions to TT is not to lose the game. That's a stifling way to coach and a stifling game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The crazy thing is if you take out the Jets, Saints, and Chargers this is exactly how we were winning. We were playing great defense and then scratch and claw out 20 to 25 points. Then the lights went out and the defense went home for 3 games. Don't know what changed exactly from one week to the next but it's a welcome addition having them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 As the season advances it's interesting to watch how our draft picks are developing. Our first round pick CB White has generally played well right out of the gate. In this game I thought Dawkins played well although his holding penalty on a big play was damaging. The player that is coming along after a horrible start is Zay Jones. You can see him gaining confidence and making catches that he didn't in the first half of the season.

Much of that falls on the full offense, but what we are seeing on O is not different than what was seen the previous two years. i don’t say that Taylor is the entire problem, but he is not the solution either unless you are fielding an all-time great defense and super running game. 8 minutes ago, nucci said: Why was it a hostile environment?

Perhaps, just maybe, the entire team responded to the shakeup of benching Taylor. Maybe instead of saying McDermott was stupid to bench Taylor, we should praise him for jump-starting a dead team.

I thought the defensive linemen and LBers did a good job staying in their lanes and not overcommitting. When the qb isn't much of a threat to throw downfield there is a lot less space for the running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave up like 200 yards on the ground to the jets, who had no semblance of a QB threat.

If you arent at your spot every single moment on the run play the the rb sees that and runs through your hole. Today are defense was playing their gaps. I also seen a safety play a little closer to the line than normal on what ine would think would be a running play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
