I was at the game and finally mustered the energy to watch the CBS broadcast just last week. And it confirmed my initial thoughts. That was a very beatable Chiefs team and the Bills simply blew it again.
The o line had their worst game of the season. Receivers couldn't get open. On defense, they got outclassed badly again from a coaching perspective. As is normal now in playoff games against the Chiefs, mahomes had his primary receiver wide open within 1.5 seconds of the snap on far too many plays. Bruce Smith and Reggie White in their primes on either end weren't getting to the qb that day.
On top of all this, it just felt like the Chiefs wanted it more. They played with more desperation and far more intensity. It brings me back to one thing in that Tyler Dunne article that's stuck with me. The team follows the head coach's lead in getting tight in these moments.
Despite all this, they had a chance to win at the end because of one guy who has literally zero margin for error. He'd never do it but I wish Allen would push Pegula to replace this amateur coaching staff.
