Enough for God sakes.  Held Mahomes to less than 50% passing.  Josh had a great day passing.  Kincaid and Cook each go for over 100 yards when the Chiefs hadn’t allowed that for a long time.  What the hell is wrong with some people here?

And they still had a chance in the end of a 7 point game. Seen enough of this for 9 years. The win was very important, very exciting, nail biting. It didn’t need to be. But he continues to show he melts under pressure a few times a game. He never learns from his past mistakes. Any one of them could’ve changed the tide and forced us to lose or go to overtime.What the hell is wrong with you?  Always happy with just making the playoffs. If you can’t discuss all the points of the game, the team, and the coach why are we here? By your reasoning no matter what happens on the field you have to glaze the coach no matter how stupid some of his actions were. Happy with the win, who isn’t? But I also know these kinds of mistakes are why we lose playoff games. And after nine years, it’s very disappointing that he still keeps making them.

Do us all a favor and paint a big picture of my ass at the Super Bowl Parade, I’ll pose for you at media week.  This team is going no where with Mc D and the fact your sorry ass is comparing to the Jets shows how pathetic your standards are, lined right up with the owners of the Sabers.

Do us all a favor…Go away and come back when McD is gone then

The chiefs needed like 4-5 super man plays from Mahomes just to stay in this game.  I don’t think the Bills got more than the flip pass out of Allen. He stayed within the play script this entire game.

 

That is incredible game planning and execution against a team with a better roster

So what you are saying is that even the best don't always handle pressure well?

Keep on your homer glasses, you can believe what you want, the team will always allow team back into games because our pathetic coach can’t close a game. 

How in the world are you mad at McDermott right now?  That was a resume piece.

I know we have to take care of our own business but, um, I'm looking at the Chiefs remaining schedule:

Broncos x2

Chargers rematch

Colts

Texans

 

I see a lot of chances for these guys to beat up on each other

Seemed like we had a lot of guys lost in space in zones tonight. At some point, you gotta match. Those long developing conversions were so frustrating 

At some point let’s stop running so much zone. We are 7 years past it being figured out so hopefully any day now we are making a switch

Welp, the defensive injuries started early this year and didn't wait until the end of the season. 

 

Seriously, what the hell. The Bills get a dynamic player on defense that can make a difference, and POOF!

 

Pretty sure Hoecht is married to a woman.

Man, Schopp on the postgame seems almost disappointed that we won, like he had a whole script written and had to toss it.  Not unlike some people on this board.  
 

It’s a win.  Treat it like one. 

 

He is the worst guy on all of radio. He probably lost some prop bets and other bets. Thats all he cares about is fantasy football and gambling.

Yeah. McDermott relied on a long time kicker with great success that has been fantastic this year. 

 

The attempt there was a game winner if it connects. Not his fault his kicker doesn't connect.

 

So I guess the alternative would have been to throw the ball and if incomplete, allow the Chiefs more time at the end of the game. Wonder what would have happened if Mahomes had that extra 35-40 seconds on that last drive?

 

Don’t know that we could have managed this game any better than we did. I maybe quibble with things like running on thag first half 4th and 2? But asking Allen to rip a first down isn’t exactly a low value proposition either 

[KOKBILLS]

I get no one is going to feel bad for the 6-2 Bills with the MVP at QB and maybe the best RB in the NFL...

But good grief losing Oliver and Hoecht for what looks like the season for both by week 9 is just brutal luck...

Just brutal...

And we need to beat the teams we're supposed to beat. We can't afford to lose games like we did with Atlanta.

I think mahomes deserves some credit tbh I understand the defense taking sh*t for giving up big plays to this guy but he’s one of the best to ever do it. 
 

bills got after them with Trey smith playing even. 
 

people always talk about the playoff defense and I get it but the afc playoffs is three opponents with hall of fame talent level qbs leading stacked offenses lol it’s an absolute meat grinder.  We definitely have to be better on defense but these guys are gonna get their yards/points even in a great defensive game

Most encouraging offensive play of the game was the pass to Knox in the first half, followed by the pass to Cook in the second half.  Need more imagination on offense.

 

McDermott put on yet another master class in timeout strategy 😋

Josh has record comp % and Mahomes has career low and it was still a nail biter.

Great observation. kudos.

I’m honestly glad there’s a chiefs fan in here to witness people being like that 😂

His timeouts weren’t mistakes.  In fact the one he called when they were at the goal line and prevented a TD was huge.  And going for the FG was smart because it ran the clock down and it wins the game.  Even missing it meant he puts a defense out there that held Mahomes to less than 50% on the day to keep him from going 60 yards in 20 seconds.  Which they did.

 

What the hell is wrong with me?  I guess celebrating a win over a major competitor in our conference.  Silly me.

[dgrochester55]

Nice game and extreme encouraging progress from Bishop and Hairston, but I still think that we need to add a couple of pieces before the deadline. Especially with the Hoecht Injury.  Other than that Patriots win, this was a good overall day for playoff positioning.

It also helps we three the kitchen sink at him. Generally speaking Reid didn’t know what was coming at him. There times when the bills rushed just 2 and the chiefs were set up to protect.  The one time reid got him was on the 4th and 17 when he guessed we’d drop 8-9, and then targeted Bosa with a fake screen blocking. Just an all around insane play that was, and it still came down to I think Bernard brain farting
