McDermott is going into next having to adjust and trust younger players/rookies more and he will need to change his thinking about having guys on the roster that are just on the team for special teams. Outside of the punter/kicker and long snapper we cannot keep guys unless they are capable of contributing on both regular offence and defence Two years in a row we went into a game very thin on defence because of injuries

End of the day, watching the 2nd down Allen could have easily hit Diggs on a crossing route and he most likely picks up the first down. He also could have run for at least 7-8 yards because the right side of the field was wide open. That set of downs got screwed up by Brady's insistence on running on first down with Cook and only getting 1 yard putting us behind the sticks. They should had pass/run option to Allen on first because they did not need to force pass into the end zone. The plan should have been get another first down and then either score a TD or kick FG with little of no time left on the clock. Another poor situation football moment that Brady/McDermott failed on.

Like it or not this will be out biggest year of roster changes, the Bills will look the same on Offence with maybe a couple of new receivers, there could at least 4-5 new starters on defence

The Chiefs played 13 personal for many times of the game forcing the Bills to play 3 LB'S.

I just feel sick because it was another missed opportunity and pressure will mount even more in the playoffs next year about getting over the hump and beating the Chiefs. Missed opportunity because Burrow got hurt and the Chiefs had their weakest offences in years, those things will change next year and other teams will get stronger while the Bills face huge salary cap challenges I pray to be wrong but McDermott seems like the new Marvin Lewis who also had so many great regular seasons and would then lose in the playoffs.

They will be plenty of roster changes for sure, I just hope Beane learns the team cannot have special teams player other than punter/Kicker and long snapper. They cannot afford guys taking up roster sports that cannot contribute to either regular offence or defence

I think this will be a retool offseason and they get rid of some older players

I saw the only long pass down field him looking slow, I agree that Elam should have started and maybe just play Douglas in situations

The goal is to score, we only scored 7 points in the second half

Gabe had a season where he dropped passes or caused interceptions and also had 5 games with 0 catches. Was missed but nit the reason why we lost

Even if Bass makes that FG, it would just have set the stage for Mahomes to go down the field for game winning FG and then national media just go gaga about him. The play was 7 points or bust or you kick with little or no time left to force OT

I like him as a solid #2 but this team needs a true #2 or even co #1, Diggs has lost his juice Diggs has never been a long ball receiver but that ball was there and he needs to make that catch.

LMAO! you really believe had he made that kick Mahomes is not going down the field for game winning FG? Your wet dream that has us stopping him with just under 2 mins when we could not stop him with 13 secs. Come on dude, they needed 7 to have any chance or were watching another late game game winning FG.

Go watch the tape, not enough passes down the field. It was 16 passes that did not go beyond the line of scrimmage

16 passes not 2 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, that is Trent Edwards level offence Diggs was never super fast but he does look slower

I agree and was a problem all season, it kept teams in games and we lost some of those games because we were not blowing teams away that we should easily beat.

The difference in the game was a problem most of this season, no big chuck plays. Chiefs had 8 plays of 20 yards or more and Bills had O, so many passes that did not go 10 yards pass the line of scrimmage. How many short passes? Allen finished with 186 yards, that is not good enough The goal this offseason is bringing in another big play receiver and get back to being a big play offence that gets big chuck plays. Our receivers rarely create separation and Allen needs to throw into tight windows to make a play, sometimes resulting in interceptions

We had 16 passes completed behind the line of scrimmage, the offence has been nothing like we saw years ago

Chiefs had 8 plays of 20 yards or more and we had 0, Allen ended up with 186 yards and that was the difference because it was so many passes around the line of scrimmage and WR's not getting separation or just dropping passes. This needs to improved and while running the ball is important this will always be a passing league. We scored just 7 points in second half, that is not beating Mahomes. It's pretty obvious that Diggs is not a guy you can count on in big playoff games. We have no receiver that can turn a 10 yard pas into a 20 plus yard play. More speed is needed

This team needs improvement in the WR room, all season long even in games Davis played the offence has struggled .

If Beanne does not upgrade the piss poor WR room he needs to be fired, enough with endless money and resources for the defensive side of the ball so they can pee the bed when the playoffs arrive. Yup and also got a beast of RB in 7 round

We lost the game because Chiefs made big chuck plays and we did not, sorry but Brady is not the answer and far too many runs.

End of the day this team needs more speed and get back to getting big chuck plays, just not enough big chuck plays and that was the difference tonight. Chiefs had big chunk plays , all season long we leave it for final drives and anything can happen I think McDermott needs to hire DC coordinator, one that is aggressive.

Need to bring back Matt Ariza

McDermott is not going anywhere and I am not really his biggest supporter. Bills finished the season strong and came up short against one of best QB's in NFL history. I think the play calling at the end was not there and it cost us. They should have had Allen pass or run himself on first down and not run Cook that got us behind the sticks. Even if Bass makes that FG Mahomes has loads of time for game winning FG. End of the day, this offence is still not like before and we don't have enough speed at WR position. We need to draft an explosive WR because Diggs has maybe one more year left in him. Diggs still has not shown he can be a big play maker in playoff games, that drop on that long pass hurt If McDermott continues to push cavemen football you will not win in the playoffs, you need pass and score as quickly as possible.
