The Three Plays that Cost us the Game

Recommended Posts

Diggs dropping that bomb. We end of punting in that drive. No points scored. We probably (maybe?) get at least three there if caught. 
 

This is the one that kills me the most. Josh missing the crossing route to Diggs there on the last drive on 2nd and 9. If caught, Diggs definitely gets a first and probably goes down around the 10. It’s plays like these that made a Brady great cause he would see it, take the easy, high percentage, throw and keep the chains moving and the clock ticking. I honestly think at this point Josh will never get us over the hump because of either his inability to see plays like that or unwillingness to take the easy dump off even at crunch time. 
 

Bass missing the FG at the end. Statistically Bass has been one of the worst kickers this season. I’ve been harping about it since the beginning of December. McD simply never trusted him the second half of the season. Last week was a giant flashing sign saying “don’t trust bass!” that McD didn’t heed. Even his XPs tonight were barely eeking in between the uprights. Now I understand if we make that FG, the chiefs still have a lot of time and two TOs, but missing it guaranteed we would lose.

Cook dropped a TD as well. Crucial. The non pass to Diggs at the end was the worst one. Get a new set of downs, milk the clock and an excellent opportunity to score. I don’t get why Josh went for a TD there. Too much time left on the clock. :(

Agreed with all.

 

BTW, Bass was 28th in the league @ an 82.8 clip.

Cook dropped TD we ended up getting a TD anyways so I’ll discount that. 
 

but yes, josh taking that crosser gets the first, eats up clock or forces KC to take a TO, and puts us in a great position to get a TD. 
 

Josh played extremely well, but that singular play stands out to me as the blemish on his night tonight

1. Diggs has to make that catch, it was in his hands

 

2. The miss to Diggs was on Josh totally. He will be having nightmares watching that again.

 

3. Bass lost his mojo a while ago. And once a kicker does that, its over. Its very similar to Norwood. Baltimore and KC dont have that problem.

I still can't believe this. Consider the 4th Q alone:

  • KC fumbles thru the end zone, turnover
  • KC drops a pick 6
  • KC fails to jump on an Allen fumble
  • Diggs, the diva, drops a bomb
  • Allen misses a wide open Shakir
  • FG no good

We all wanted KC at home. Yikes, KC simply has the Bills' number, it's a shame. 

 

I don't know if you guys watched the post game- Boomer Esiason spewed out some insane stats. KC only ran 47 plays the whole game, 4 were kneel downs, and they scored 27 points. Crazy.

1. Diggs is the only boundary/deep weapon the Bills have

2. If he's not catching perfect passes, then who else is

3. Spanguououla knows that and cranks the box on early downs and Brady keeps ramming into it

 

Fix boundary WR, fix the Bills

or elliot in philly, or boswell, or the baltimore kicker, or the KC kicker.... time to wake beane up... unpopular take, cook is a change of pace back... and bass is a bottom tier kicker. Allens brain doesn't work well... and mcdermott needs to MAKE him situationally aware, or he's gotta go.

On a positive note Shakir looked awesome! His hands were simply amazing tonight! The young man looked like a star. The future is bright for him. Diggs looked like just a guy tonight, the second half of this year really.

Agree on Shakir. Kinda reminding me of victor Cruz in his prime but better. 
 

It sucks Diggs has such a big dead cap hit next year because i think at this point he is done. I would love to cut him or trade him but obviously the financial ramifications don’t allow for it.  His hands just aren’t trustworthy and he isn’t elite anymore. He’s a middling number 1 WR.

Taking multiple deep shots and bypassing chain moving completions is on Josh 

How hard is this? If he hadn't been hit, it's a TD.  He also hit Diggs in the hands on a deep ball that Diggs dropped.
