I got Diggs as my picture   I love his dog mentality on the field but really starting to struggle with respecting him off the field 

I always disliked this man to put it kindly, but he has a point.  

Never did he say it involved speaking to him

I had no idea till I saw this angle that the corner literally falls down behind him and if he simply catches the ball he could have moonwalked into the endzone my goodness

The gameplan was such (Long drives minimal possessions) that it demanded near perfect execution. Those early 2 drives to get 3 points Allen had to overcome drops, fumbles, penalties etc. Yet they kept pounding. But once KC came out after half and in 3 min went ahead, then we answered, then they did again, I knew it was over. This Bills team throughout the year never demonstrated they could play mistake free. I don’t think you can ask Josh to play mistake free either as it removes his playing advantage. They came damn close though. I feel for the players more than anything because they fought consistently this year. But bad game plans and poor execution was a constant battle this year.

That gameplan was really the only chance they had. Did you see how wide open Kelce was ? They couldn’t match up worth a damn on defense and they knew it. Offense needed to play keep away with long methodical drives and have the ball at the end. Bills had the perfect set up at the end , just completely misplayed it.

Hadn't really thought about this - but every time the Chiefs have beaten us in the playoffs, they lost the following week.

 

This trend will likely continue.

how does one drive home after that? I was at the Cleveland Monday night game where Lindell missed wide right and it was humbling. I can’t imagine it being the last game of the season and just walking away from that. 

 

I was at that game too. Brutal. I officially jumped off the Dick Jauron bandwagon that night.

Anyone just feel helpless in regards to this team today?

 

It’s like watching someone you care about decide to stay in their toxic, dead-end relationship.

 

We all know what the problem is, but we can’t do anything about it.

Yes

That is exactly how I feel

Just talking to the family about EXACTLY this.

I think the biggest let down for me was the lack of pressure from the d line. Were the chiefs holding on every play or is kc line that good? Mahomes had a clean pocket for 95% of the game. You didn’t beat Brady that way and you’re not beating Mahomes that way either.

 

We come up with new focal points each year. This offseason I say forget about the defense, let’s get Josh all the weapons he needs. Let’s just focus on our scoring the opponent all year.

It looks to me like the NFL told the refs to sit on the offensive holding penalties this postseason.  I've seen LOTS of holding in all games I've watched, hardly any flags to speak of.

Kinda strange with the talk of Andy Reid and Kelce retiring when their season ends. That would mean KC possibly takes a step back.  and the Bills never get their playoff revenge against this version of the Chiefs.  Not that it’s a bad thing, just an observation.

He wouldn't have scored, because he gets leg whipped by the safety of you watch to fill play.

This makes me think why bother investing at all on defense? The NFL clearly wants high scoring games.

Would be thrilled with even just one of the two hanging it up. It goes without saying we win this game if it’s anyone other than Kelce in the TE role.

Idk how to feel about Brady but he dialed up the deep shots and they were there…nobody made a play 

he did but....they were very low percentage shots.   i would have liked to have seen something of a middle ground.   plus there was series or two where they were trying to force feed diggs.   i just felt like once the chiefs were starting to take the run game away (because he became one dimensional with it)  the play 

calling fell apart and had no rhythm.

They answer to their brothers.

Everybody else can get stuffed.

 

Nah. 😂

 

The story-telling of the media creates the drama and the narrative that something important is going on.

 

That make-believe aspect pays 100% of their salary......otherwise it's just a bunch of dudes running into each other.........a big budget movie with no soundtrack.......which is why so much media access is required.

 

The league knows they are just selling sugar water and calling it life's blood..........hell the teams are even named after the communities but owned privately. 

 

It's all just entertainment.    Ultimately the important players big-picture responsibility is to keep the golden goose alive.

That's entirely part of the point.   They haven't been connecting on deep throws.   They haven't been doing that job before.  Not sure why you'd expect that to change.

 

And off of memory that would have been the longest air yards throw completed to Shakir all season.   Last season they tried him more on deeper throws and he struggled to track the ball further downfield.......famously dropping what should have been a wide open bomb in the Miami playoff game.    This season he's strictly been a short to intermediate target and that's played into his strengths.  

 

BTW.........kudos to Spags for the 2nd down blitz in the first half the preceded the Bills first punt.   He suckered Allen out of the gameplan.   That was the first of the two long incompletions to Sherfield.   That was also a big play in the game.   

the second i seen Josh look at diggs and move on i was like..seriously...wth.   two many times this year we have been burned by that exact thing.  

the whole drive was bleeding the clock.   if anything this year we should have learned that with this D u dont want to leave any time on the clock.   

we got burned 13 seconds.  it was devine intervention that chiefs didnt burn us again in the reg season..and yet here we are once again willing to take a deep shot and leave the chiefs a world of time to march down the field.   Made zero sense to me.

Big ticket players should also recognize that their silence can become the narrative. For a player like Diggs in particular with a whole history of weird media stunts, he knows better than this. It's frustrating for sure.

 

If Diggs is always reserved in public situations that's a different story. Then him skipping the post game interview is business as usual, no one bats an eye. But when he's been shown on camera lambasting his QB on the sideline, or posting stupid cryptic tweets, or creating a public spectacle on day one of training camp, he doesn't also get to have the luxury of sitting out a media appearance after a bad game without people rightly asking questions about his behavior.

 

I'm really not looking forward to this offseason at all. I have no idea how Diggs is going to behave. We're asking the same questions about the coaching staff that we were after last year's divisional loss. We are likely going to lose several players that were the core of the team over the past few years which means our cap space will be spent on like for like replacements instead of truly impactful additions. Bleh.

This is the complete opposite of Minnesota Miracle.
