They Chiefs took CEH and Skyy Moore with high draft picks. Every GM has busts. Your absolutely right and I out of curiousity looked at both the Bengals schedule and his drafts after he was hired. Veach had very average drafts when he first started in 2018,2019, and 2021 drafts were average but his drafts fin 2020,2022, and 2023 have been absolute money. Lucky very possible but maybe they adjusted how they did things in scouting after his first 3 years weren't great.

dma0034 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Also something that doesn't get mentioned: They have a pedigree. It's like the Pats for so many years: teams play them and they make mistakes. 49ers: punt that hits a blocker and McCloud can't jump on it leads to 7. Flowers fumbles at the goal line. Bills miss the FG late. Who knows what happens if any of these simple mistakes go the other way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also fully recognize that probably this post will get crapped on by most Bills fans but the truth hurts sometimes. This post will be an extension of another poster bringing it up but the reason why the Chiefs win every year is because they have the most top end players and coaching in the league and they always show up when the lights are the brightest. Patrick Mahomes- Is the best QB in the league. Comes through 95% of the time with the game on the line and very rarely fails come playoff time. Josh Allen is a very close 2nd but doesn't have the supporting cast that he does. Creed Humphrey/Joe Thuney, Trey Smith- Individually 2 out of the 3 could be in the argument for the best Center and Guard at their positions in the league and collectively are definitely the best interior line in football. Travis Kelce- Maybe not the best TE this season and was shut down very early in the Super Bowl but as the game rolled on there was his presence. No bigger than the 22 yard scamper down the sideline to tie the game at the end of regulation. 9 catches for 93 yards. Chris Jones- Maybe not huge on the stat line tonight but affected the pass and run game all night for the Chiefs. Makes the QB get off their mark. Cost the Bills at go ahead TD in the divisional game, harrassed Jackson and Purdy in both of the other games. Trent McDuffie- All over the field making tons of plays and have sticky coverage. He might be the best slot CB in the league and he is still very young. Played great tonight. L'Jarius Sneed- For the most part was good tonight besides giving up the TD to Jennings which was even still pretty good coverage. Gave up 1 TD all season long and could arguably considered the best outside CB in the NFL. Harrison Butker- Guy has been as good if not better than Justin Tucker these last couple of seasons and there he was again tonight burying at 57 yards FG and then hitting the 28 yarder to get the game into OT. Tucker probably still the best Kicker but to me its 1A and 1B. Andy Reid/Steve Spagnuolo- They continue to make adjustments at halftime and win games for their team. Spagnuolo was getting gashed early in the game in multiple ways but essentially shut down the 49ers offense in the 2nd half. The Chiefs also held the Bills to 7 second half points and completely shut down the Ravens in the AFC title game. This doesn't even include the plethora of really good other players that they have including Pacheco, Rice, Karlaftis, Nnadi, Bolton, Gay, Justin Reid, and Townsend. To me for the Bills, to get to the Chiefs level, they need to acquire more high end talent. It is simply amazing to me that Josh Allen has almost single handedly willed this Bills franchise to wins against the Chiefs in the playoffs. The Bills have talented players besides Allen but not to the level that the Chiefs. You can argue for Bills guys sure but at most positions the Chiefs have a guy who is better with the exception of LB and WR. Totally agree. And the Chiefs have other really good players, like Karlaftis, Bolton and Willie Gay, who are as good as anyone on the Bills’ defense. That’s how you make a dynasty. Oh, and the Chiefs only have three starters left from the team that won the Super Bowl four years ago. Edited February 12 by mannc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 They carry the aura now as well. Teams are starting to go against their normal run because they fear failure. Look at the Ravens and 49ers going away from the run to try to have their QBs land the gut punch blow to the Chiefs because they could “see” a win. It’s the fear of Mahomes being in a close game where you gave him too many chances. teams beat the chiefs by giving them no respect. The 49ers gave that team no respect to start, and they were winning. Then it becomes an effort to have Purdy out duel Mahomes, they go away from their offensive gameplan for the 3rd quarter, and it cost them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really nailed those 4 field goals too. Amazing stuff. This ^. Sometimes I genuinely wonder what game people are watching. Mahomes did nothing spectacular last night. He was good, but certainly wasn’t great. Heck, he threw a ball that should have been INT’ed and ended the game with less than 2 minutes to play. Not to mention the actual INT that was into double coverage. Chris Jones was the Chiefs MVP last night. Or perhaps McDuffie. It certainly wasn’t Mahomes, but they just always give it to the winning CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 4 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I mean, it sucks that the Chiefs got a good player. But McDuffie's size and arm length pretty much guaranteed he'd be a Nickel CB. He's a great one at that, but so is Taron Johnson (McDuffie is 1st Team AP, Taron is 2nd) and we already had him in house. We weren't in the market for a Nickel CB. We needed a Boundary CB. I don’t know where people get the idea that McDuffie is just a slot CB. He played outside corner in college when he was drafted, then the Chiefs play him as a boundary CB half the time too. They flip/flop him all the time from outside corner to slot and even sometimes to safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has versatility wherein certain matchups and certain alignments, they can occasionally put him there. Just like we can occasionally split Shakir out wide.

When it's crunch time and the game, the season, the championship is on the line, if I can pick one player to make it happen, it's Mahomes. I hate it but that's the truth. Yeah, I love Josh as our QB but, in hindsight, they could’ve just taken Mahomes in the 2017 draft. They used the 2017 KC 3rd Rnd pick from that trade to move up and snag the incomparable Zay Jones. They then used the KC 2018 first round pick from that trade to maneuver to move up for Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Reid and Spags aren’t t going anywhere. Most other teams lose great coaches each year. Most other teams lose their great coach to head coach opportunities. San Fran had a great D, like Philly last year. Both had defenses better than the Bills. It doesn’t matter against KC. Our injury riddled D performed as well. Bills need stay healthy and find elite offensive talent to beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 8 hours ago, Cubanmist 1 said: When I compare both QBs what stands out is that Mahomes has attitude and discipline. Allen lacks both of these traits. Well, the last time Allen showcased attitude was that first playoff game against the Chiefs. He played is ass off, but the defense let them down. Another issue that obviously an issue. This year, the defense let the Bills down again. So, it’s why they need to use their first 2 or 3 picks on defense. I agree with you on JA not having the discipline that PM has, but on attitude, JA is just as good. But certainly this season showed us that JA still has a ways to go re reading defenses and making the right decisions with the ball; anybody who disagrees with this is just lying to themselves.

Matt_In_NH Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So Reid and Spags together provide better coaching than McDermott. Great, hard to argue against that. At this point we can also say Mahomes is overall better than Allen being objective about it. He is clutch, wins OT games in the playoffs, Super Bowl and has an unreal playoff record. Obviously the two together form a symbiotic relationship where they both benefit similar to the other previous evil empire. You are going against one of the top QB/Coach combination in the history of the league, the bar is as high as it can be. McDermott and Allen have beaten Mahomes and Reid 3 times in the regular season (yes only the regular season) in Arrowhead. Here is the list of others who have done that: None. McDermott is 0-3 in the playoffs. When you evaluate the last 4 meetings (2 playoffs, 2 regular season) each game has come down to the end, a play here or there flips the game. So McDermott has gone toe to toe with the great Reid and has competed well but in the end lost the two playoff games. Could it just be random luck/ball bounces that flipped the two playoff games toward the Chiefs and 2 regulars season games vs the Bills? I mean we can flip a coin 4 times and you could win two, I could win two. If the two you win are playoffs it takes on a different meaning but could it just be dumb luck on some level? My point here is yep McDermott and Allen have not gotten it done but what should be done about it? I believe the Bills can beat the Chiefs in the playoffs with McDermott. I also know chances of making the gap larger rather than smaller with a new coach is the likely outcome, who do you want? Should the 49ers fire Shanahan for the same reason? He "cannot" beat them either and Shanahan took a dumb timeout in the second half that most of this forum would have exploded over. Most people would say it would be dumb for the 49ers to fire Shanahan including me. If the Bills were in the NFC, would they likely have a little more playoff success the last three years? So who are we replacing McDermott with? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
