Scott7975 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 5 hours ago, Juice_32 said: I don’t hate the throw to Shakir, but that’s a first down all day. Nothing is guaranteed. 7 yards to go with 2 defenders over top is not "first down all day." Diggs avg YAC is 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestak4ever Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not sure if it’s been mentioned previously, but along with other issues our special teams played a significant role in our last two playoff loses to KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Williams Available Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 20 hours ago, Awwufelloff said: 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. When even Oliver doesn’t show up either: 1) KC Oline is top tier and no amount of $ thrown at DL gets it done, or 2) all the DL investment was almost completely wasted. I think you only need 1 D lineman that’s Donald, Watt, Jones, Bosa type game wrecker—they’re the only type to actually impact a game’s outcome. Beane thought we had this in Von but that’s over. Be content with a meh DL and invest in DBs to prevent big plays and WRs on O that create them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleezoid Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The hope for "1 before I die", just changed to the reality "none before I die." I've accepted that. We need a new coach. So what if we have a mini rebuild. And who cares who it is. You'll never know until you know. But we do know that McD can't get this team through the playoffs. His D was Swiss cheese against the run in the 2nd half. Not necessarily on McD, but the offensive game plan sucked too. All those screens and swing passes had us living in 3rd down all night. Then when they try the middle or deep passes, Allen was off. Not how you use Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I don't remember a single complete pass that traveled 10 yards in the air crossing routes and sideline throws that knox was deadly at both died off for some reason.

beebe Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 On 1/23/2024 at 5:18 PM, muppy said: Third and fourth down avoidance - the Chiefs had just FIVE third downs the entire game - is far more important than converting a high percentage of third downs and/or facing three fourth downs. Yards per play - the Chiefs were a season-best 7.7 yards per play, compared to Buffalo's 4.7 yards per play - is far more important than total yards.

It's amazing how many people in the media fail to comprehend that football is a TEAM GAME. Not just in the media. Around here too. You'd think that football was a tag team wrestling match between HCs and QBs. And the people who say that injuries are not an excuse drive me mad too. Then why do we pay so much attention to FA and the draft if talent doesn't matter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 And it's the ultimate hot take that many are now rating Lamar over Allen. I love Lamar's game, and he has had a great year. But in no way do I take him over Allen long-term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Just rewatching the 4th qtr. of this game....I know, I know, I'm a masochist. LOL - Absolutely NO replays were shown of the Bills fake punt. WTH? - Shakir *could* have caught that long rainbow bomb on 3rd and 12 with 10:50 left, but that would have been a spectacular diving catch - Bills' Defense did step up and play well on the next drive, just before the Bills' O got the ball for the last time - Now that I now what Seven Nation Army is, I see that CBS played it as they went to commercial with 8:23 left. LOL - It looks like Diggs DID see the long bomb in plenty of time, and just plain did not catch it - KC DB Reed went helmet to helmet with a pretty vicious hit on Diggs on an incompletion. Could have easily been called a PF, but wasn’t - Bills were VERY lucky to retain possession when JA fumbled on a 3rd down run with 5:35 left 1st down at the 27 with 3:00 left and clock ticking - Run with Cook up the middle...got 1 yard 2:00 warning - Pass into the EZ for Shakir on 2nd down....Incomplete. I know what was said all last week about Chris Jones pushing Dawkins into JA, but honestly, Dawkins barely touches JA; does not look that minimal contact affected the throw at all. Curious, did JA ever address that throw in his post game presser? - Pass thrown OOB on the right side on 3rd down as coverage was very good and JA rolled to the right side. His best option was across the field on the left side, but he didn’t look that way - Missed FG by Bass - Pacheco runs 2x and gets a 1st down; game over It totally SUCKS that the Bills were right there, but couldn't continue the drive to get the TD.
