What a Tuel

Since the Jets game Tyler Bass is 10/10 field goals and 15/17 for PATs and you guys still insist on cutting him for a mythical better kicker who won't miss anything. You guys are ruthless and reckless.

Yeah, I dont see lack of effort here. Preventing the cutback and the angle makes him look far closer to Mahomes than he actually is.

There was still a minute left on the clock. Its not over til its over. Also Mahomes had 3 more tries to convert the first down and continue the drive and didnt. The problem with the chiefs and officials is consistency. They are constantly the beneficiary of both bad calls for them, and non-calls against them.

Do you have a link to his sideline comments? What are the famous hail marys? against the cardinals and against the jets? Against the cardinals you had 3 defensive players around Hopkins and none of them were able to bat the ball down. How many more were needed? 5? 6?

So the players out there can cover against 6'5" lazard except in hail mary scenario? eh agree to disagree. Im not going to rake McDermott over the coals for this and I dont think he was "surprised" either.

Eh, agree to disagree. I count 4 Bills Players guarding 2 Jets WRs in the endzone here. 5 on 3 if you count the Bills/Jets player on the left. There is zero reason the players shouldnt execute here and bat the ball down (edit: specifically the player in front, I think that's Johnson. What is he doing?). This was perfectly fine defense.

I think you underestimate how much McDermott elevates the defense. There is a reason why despite so many injuries, the next man up is prepared and capable. It has a lot to do with talent evaluation but also to do with the coaching putting players in positions to succeed. At the end of the day I dont blame McDermott for Bass missing the tying field goal against the chiefs, I don't blame McDermott for Allen missing the open throw for a 1st down and clock burning against the Chiefs. I dont even blame McDermott for the hail murray Cardinals game, the hail mary in the Jets game this year. Each of those situations which you consider fire worthy for McDermott the players were in the position to succeed and they didn't execute. There is one situation that bothers me about McDermott and that is whether or not there was a communication failure on kickoff in 13 seconds, and why they didn't have someone there to tackle Kelce as soon as he caught the ball to put them in FG range.

But it could get worse. There are many examples of teams making terrible coaching swaps. The chiefs just so happen to have Andy Reid as HC.

I think the ball was ahead of the marker even when the shin went down. However the holding calls were absurd. Its always terrible when the broadcasters are claiming there were clear holds and go back to replay and its like crickets with them trying to identify where.

I just read through like 8 pages of this thread where you were trying to school people, its pretty convenient that now at this particular moment, you don't want to derail it. On another note, Diggs wasn't slow but he also got caught from behind on his long passes as well. Maybe it was just me, but I often wondered why we didn't see footrace td passes with him like we do with other top wrs.

The Chiefs had a bye week. Add in the Raiders next week which is basically a guaranteed win at this point and its basically even. So your argument doesn't really hold up. The arguments that "we haven't beat anyone with a winning record" is going to resurface again which is such a silly argument. You play who your schedule says you play. Bills 2-4 Cardinals 2-4 Dolphins 2-5 Jaguars 4-2 Ravens 5-2 Texans 2-5 Jets 1-5 Titans 18-27 Chiefs 4-2 Ravens 3-4 Bengals 4-3 Falcons 3-2 Chargers 2-5 Saints 3-4 49ers (without Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk) 19-20 2-6 Raiders 21-26

Ha, my bad 35-35 XPA, eyeballed the wrong line. He hit the game winner though so maybe right call for the Packers? Bass meanwhile went 100% yesterday so maybe the competition did him good.

So the Packers got rid of their kicker and are apparently signing Brandon McManus if that gives you any indication of the quality of free agent kickers. Brandon McManus was 30-37 (81.1%) FGA and 312/321 (97.2%) XPA in 2023. Their former kicker was Brayden Narveson who was 12-17 (70.5%) FGA and 16-16 (100%) XPA

I think they will.

Also the "uncatchable" ball that was "6 yards out of bounds" on the PI call for us. Like no, that ball was not 6 yards out of bounds if it hit the boundary Joe. On topic, it was clearly a fumble, I don't see how people are so adamant that his arm was going forward? He would've released it at the point of the extension if he actually planned to throw it, instead he pulled it back and held on. Clear fumble. Also didn't like our OPI call on Knox I think it was. Kelce does that every damn play and it infuriates me bc he never gets called.
