Bills @ Chiefs Postgame Thread

I didn't see it this way. I didn't see the offense being tight or super conservative. I saw them struggling to handle the Chief's pressure. The looked out of sync not right or passive to me. 

I agree they struggled with the pressure and were certainly out of sync. Second half gave me Dorsey vibes.
 

But I don’t think they went conservative at all. In fact I thought they were trying too hard to make something big happen.

I am legit shocked at the amount of kc fans on Twitter right now crying about the flag. How much more obvious can it be?

Yeah the Bills won but I haven't seen anywhere that the defense once again let the opponent drive the field and score. Granted the play was called back due to the offside but Kelce was wide the eff open again. Credit the Bills for stopping KC after that but still doesnt change the soft defense before that point. This is very concerning because teams generally do not shoot themselves in the foot like KC did.

 

And the offense once again stopped scoring TDs, settled for the late FG (with some odd clock management), and turned the game over to the defense. At 6-6 though, a win is a win is a win. Just have to hope some good fortune boosts them into next week.

I believe you but really, should this matter? 

 

And btw I do not blame the OC. McDermott should have stepped in and overruled these calls. 

I believe the thinking was two-fold:  try to continue to move the ball to eat the clock and keep Mahomes off the field and the fact that KC's D-line was dominating our O-line at the time necessitating quick passing plays, especially as our running plays were getting stomped in the second half. 

 

I would have liked to see them put Allen under center 1st down and play action pass but that's just me.  

 

On D, this is one of the first high-profile games I recall McD keeping the heat on the QB late rather than playing extra-man zones that get picked apart.  I do blame McD for 13 seconds, so it means a lot to me to witness his different thinking approach this time around.  If the Kelce back pass had succeeded, at least Allen would have the ball back with over a minute to work with.

 

And this was a playoff game, not just us winning a mid-season contest against them.  Mahomes' Karen-style snit proves that.

The talk today would have been a lot different had KT wasn’t offside.
 

The conversation today would have been about that missed TD to Davis. We never should have been in position where that lateral mattered. 
 

Special game ball to Frank Wycheck for not letting this happen to Buffalo twice. 

 pretty telling that had we surrendered yet another late game collapse to give up the losing TD you think the conversation would have been about a missed throw on offense tbh

Dunno if this was mentioned before ... I think Travis Kelce in honor of the "Music City Miricle" play and the now late Frank Wycheck's throwback, Travis threw it back for a resulting TD.

 

A darn shame it didn't count as it would have been the play of the day. 😢

 

 

😁

 

Am I the only one to whom it occurs: if Toney isn't so far offside there, does he make it to the same place at the same time to receive that lateral?

 

I don't think you can change one part of one play, and assume the rest of the play is equivalent.

I get arguing and complaining about bad or even questionable calls. Complaining about correct calls is going to get much traction with anybody. It's whining!

Exactly.  It’s not as if Toney wasn’t involved in the play…

No but I will try to be a voice of reason. Hoping you can do the same. 

You have proven by your actions that you can’t be reasonable.  We know you are extreme negative, you don’t have to keep highlighting it.

PM: "One of the worst f'ing calls I've ever seen"

JA: "What?"

PM: "Offensive Offside...<?Kermit noises?>. F'ing terrible"

 

Did he expect sympathy from JA on that field after that result?  

 

Because I'm pretty sure that Josh is walking away not giving a rip about his whining.

I thought the idea was to score more points than the other guy

 

Two ways to accomplish that: 1) give up fewer 2) score more

 

Maybe it's telling that you think it's telling that someone wants to consider both?

I think our secondary was so concerned with Kelce that the play would still succeed.  It was a great playcall.

27 would be equal the most scored against KC this season

 

if you thought we were going to put up a bunch of points yesterday dunno what to tell you

I thought Allen's tap on Mahome's chest before walking away was like "yeah, whatever, bro"

[Straight Hucklebuck]

I was expecting our corners to play 10 yards off every snap, allowing Mahomes to dink and dunk his way down the field, and to McDermott's credit, he had them closer to 4-yards off on 2/3 snaps.

Toney: Man isn't the O-line going to get in trouble for being in the backfield?

I thought we were gonna have to put up a bunch of points yesterday.  I didn't think 20 would do it.

 

My point is if we're gonna "whatif" various plays, why is only one side of the ball fair game?  Shouldn't both be fair game?  We could have scored there.

I missed that, did they (Mahomes and Reid) really?  considering they were gifted a late hit/UR call on Mahomes that sustained a drive, That's Some *****.

Then he lied in his postgame yesterday when he started complaining about the calls in the Packers game saying he didn't complain about them.

33 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said:

Do folks not realize what an absolute GIFT it is for the Bills for Mahomes and Reid to blast the officials for doing their jobs?  
 

Good luck getting helpful calls now, Kermit.

Right in the run up to the game learning about Kelce's comments about the ref of the game thought they might have a problem with that particular ref. These really loud comments are the kind of ones that get you a problem with more than just that one.

KC is entitled. Their OL has lined up illegally on so many plays this year you can't count.
