It’s not worse it’s just more stress inducing. Every game is significant and becomes more so over the course of the season. In many ways it’s less fun because of that. Before, when we lost to the Jags we’d shrug our shoulders and go ape 💩 if we beat the Packers. There was more opportunity for fun during the drought—higher lows and higher highs. Now our expectations are so high the lows are lower and so are the highs.

Absolutely. The opposite of the madman during the Rams game.

Yes a TO and new play but then Spags goes man to man and ruins that one too. Point is our coaches and QB are not on the level to predict what KC does effectively and constantly walk into traps. The only way to combat it is get more talented than them at key positions. That’s how Josh beats KC in the regular season—he out talents the right defensive call.

Since Josh read zone D, Shakir is an outlet but also like 3rd or 4th in the progression. They’ve ran that play with a RB back there before. There was no plan for a blitz as all receivers on the right were running 10 yard routes. So frustrating.

Also don’t go empty set, put a RB back there to save Josh if needed. Also a safety outlet. Brady sucked the last 2 weeks.

There was a shot of him coming off the field on a time out and I said “oh 💩 that’s glassy eyed Josh, he’s not the one we need to win this.” He wears his heart on his sleeve so you can easily tell which Josh is in-game.

I agree with the OPs sentiment. But it’s doubly frustrating when opposing QBs essentially have to have the game of their season to beat you AND they always do!!! See yesterday and LA Rams. The theory of McD’s D doesn’t match its practice and pairs poorly with our offensive philosophy. If you really distill down why it’s likely due to piss poor DL play throughout his tenure. They have not hit on the DL yet despite throwing a ton of assets there. It’s killing them.

They’re like a great tennis player who can return everything you throw at them and force you to make a mistake (which you eventually will). You have to excel outside of your tendencies to beat people like this. The Bills are not adaptable. Their coaches are why. Small thinkers in key moments.

I think what he’s saying is no one went in motion with Shakir so Josh thought zone and thus Shakir did not become an option as an outlet. On man coverage he’d be first read. So Spags called the perfect D, Brady called a predictable play, and Josh was stuck in between.

This is a typical loss in that when the coords made the right call it wasn’t executed AND when they made a bad one the players did just enough to keep going. We needed more from both tonight.

Dude the orbit to Shakir was wide open away from pressure but Josh starts running backward like an idiot instead. Would of gotten us in FG range immediately.

Last 2 years v KC we were down 3 and given the ball to win it in regulation. The offense failed both times to even tie it.

The KC coaches have like 50 years more experience than our 3 HC/DC/OC combined—much of it coming at the apex of situational football. It shows every year. There is no way to out coach them you have to out talent them!
