Unfortunately our pass rush isn't championship caliber without Von Miller on the field. Ed Oliver has been mostly invisible since the Lions game. Rousseau is our only consistent difference maker. Mediocre pass rush combined with a banged up and inexperienced secondary, this is what you get.

Yeah can't wait to see which bust they take with their higher draft pick.

My god Josh McDaniels is terrible! An offensive coach going against a poor defense with Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, and Darren Waller, and this is what he comes up with. Yeah I'm sure it was all Derek Carr's fault. Nice try.

No way the officials are to blame for this one. Josh McDaniels just sucks. The Raiders have played below their offensive potential all year long. They didn't bother showing up for a meaningless game which to me tells you everything you need to know about the coach.

There's a decent chance they'll play the Chargers in the divisional round. The Chargers had two close games against them this year and are now fully healthy. They'll have a decent shot. It will be by far the best team the Chiefs have faced since the Bengals defeated them. Rolling into the playoffs with no adversity isn't necessarily a good thing.

I've never rooted so hard for another team's coach to get fired. McDaniels should be gone tomorrow. Maybe hire back the coach that gave your team some fight last year.

Adams with 2 TD drops. I hate the Chiefs! Everything they need to go right goes right. The Raiders should fire McDaniels, trade Adams, and tank for Caleb Williams in 2024. They have no foundation.

McDaniels is an offensive genius in his own mind. I hate fades on 3rd down.

If the game ends up looking as bad as it does now I think you seriously have to consider making McDaniels one and done. It was his decision to bench Carr for Stidham and it looks like the team didn't even show up. Forget letting him try to fix it, just move on.

Andy Reid is still a genius. Everything the Chiefs do looks easy. Mahomes is just playing game manager and they're moving the ball at will.

This is the problem right here. Damar Hamlin isn't just "our guy." He's an NFL player. The jersey he was wearing while suffering cardiac arrest on live television has no bearing on anything. And no one is being punished. Every team that had a chance to win the Super Bowl still has that chance. Homefield advantage and playoff seeding is not life or death.

A lot of the faith I developed in humanity over the past 72 hours is now dwindling as I see fans of all affected teams, Bills included, bickering on Twitter about how unfair the whole thing is. Playoff seeding and homefield advantage isn't that important. A young man almost died and a lot of fans have already moved on.

Nobody has said anything about the game is conclusive. In fact that's exactly the point.

Nah. They had a chance to beat the Bengals or Bills and fell short. That's on them. Here's how I look at it - the Chiefs as of the stoppage of play on Monday night did not control their own destiny for the #1 seed. Now they do. POSSIBLY losing homefield advantage to one potential opponent in one game of the playoffs is MUCH better than not controlling your own destiny for the #1 seed. No question they came out of this ahead.

Holy crap! This is about as good an outcome as we could have hoped for at this point, right?

Correct. We blitzed too often on that first drive including on the TD. Not only did we blitz but we didn't get even a whiff of pressure. I don't understand why that was our game plan because Burrow is one of the best QBs in the league against the blitz. Maybe Frazier was setting things up for later? That has been the defensive trend this year, look like butter on the first drive and then start to clamp down as the game goes along. I think people are being way too harsh on Tre for what amounted to two plays. He clearly isn't playing at his ceiling right now but he also hasn't totally dropped off a cliff. He got straight up beat by Ja'Marr Chase on one play, which happens to every CB, and then he got exposed by a poor blitz call. Like everything else about that game it is useless to try to draw meaningful conclusions from such limited game time.

Yes their fans are all over social media whining because they think the Bills lost to the Bengals in the 1st quarter and therefore they are the rightful #1 seed with all the advantages that it comes with. Obviously a ridiculous thing to say but that's their stance. They think the Bills manipulated the league's sympathy to get a free advantage.

There unfortunately is no fair solution. I think the NFL tried to make it equally unfair for everybody which is the best they could do. Personally I think what makes it worse for fans of the Bills, Bengals, and Ravens is that the Chiefs barely got any kind of disadvantage. Maybe having to play in the AFCCG on a neutral field after being handed the bye? That's nothing compared to the other teams. But ultimately a man almost died on national TV so I just don't have it in me to complain. Maybe for non-Bills fans it doesn't hit the same way because it wasn't a player on your team. Be happy Hamlin is going to be okay and your team has a chance to win a Super Bowl.

They scored a TD on the opening drive and had gotten exactly one 1st down on the 2nd drive. The Bills defense always looks soft early. To me it looked like a game that was going to come down to the wire. Both offenses moved the ball at will on the first drive, one finished with 7 one finished with 3. There's nothing you could possibly project about the rest of that game based on that early result. The NFL is too volatile to make projections after one half let alone two drives.

You know when I first heard the coin flip idea I thought it was the worst idea yet. But the more I've thought about it, it would have been the best solution. The game was looking like a coin flip anyways. Instead of screwing over a bunch of teams they should have just randomly assigned a winner and moved on. I'm surprised they decided to make it so convoluted.

Bengals will be mine and I would think every Bills' fan 2nd team in the playoffs this year. The frustrating about the Chiefs is they really didn't earn the #1 seed. They got every opponent at their worst, we got every opponent at their best. The Chargers (twice) before they got hot. The Titans starting Malik Willis. The Texans missing Dameon Pierce and Brandin Cooks. The Rams starting Bryce Perkins and missing Cooper Kupp. The Broncos for a full half starting Brett Rypien. The Raiders starting Jarrett Stidham this weekend after having one week of his film to study. They also lost to the #2 and #3 seed in the conference. No way they earned a playoff bye and more favorable matchups.
