If they can kiss and makeup with Beasley, they can easily do it with Watkins. Also John Brown only has one more free call up. We could use one more roster worthy WR to elevate for the stretch run.

I would add him to the PS if he clears waivers. Nothing to lose and we could use more depth outside.

The 49ers didn't stop the Dolphins. Tua just played an awful game. He missed a ton of wide open WRs including a couple that would have gone for TDs. Tua has played most of the year like he did on Saturday, a limited style of QB play but good enough to get the ball into the hands of one of his elite weapons in space. The Shanahan scheme IMO is the best in football, very hard for even elite defenses to stop when the right personnel is in the system. My biggest disappointment was not our scheme, it was missed tackles and underwhelming pass rush. Hamlin is a disaster and our DL without Von Miller doesn't have a ton of juice. I think Oliver might still be feeling the effects of his pec injury too, he was invisible all night. Only so much the coaches can do. On defense more than ever now it's about the players more than the coaches. For offense a little more responsibility falls on the coaching IMO.

I'm surprised how much discussion this play has warranted. I can lay out exactly what happens if Singletary runs into the endzone there. The Dolphins get the ball back with 34 seconds left and 1 timeout. On 1st down we drop everyone way back into soft coverage and Tua delivers the ball to one of his speedy weapons who is tackled close to the 50. Dolphins take their last timeout with maybe 27 seconds remaining. They now have a few chances to let Waddle or Hill get past the secondary or take a quick slant to the house. Damar Hamlin is standing deep in the secondary itching to take the worst angle you've ever seen in a football game. I would not be comfortable AT ALL in that scenario. It's that or trust your reliable FG team to kick one that's even closer than an XP as time expires. No brainer decision against this Dolphins team.

Josh McDaniels is terrible. Just had 2 pass catchers in the exact same spot on the field. Carr was about to hit Adams for a big 3rd and 10 conversion but Waller thought he was the target so it went off his fingertips. Never hire former Patriots coaches.

I thought they had left an open lane for him to run through intentionally, I could be wrong though. He went down on his own.

Maybe this has already been mentioned, but the Dolphins tried to let us score. That proves we made the right decision. The opposing coaching staff wanted the ball back, we didn't let them have it.

A sampling of players that the Chiefs have avoided playing against this year: Tannehill Stafford/Kupp Dameon Pierce Russell Wilson after his concussion You could make the case that the Chiefs lose at least 2 of these games if those players are in. Just stupid.

I hate this ****ing team. Every bounce, every coin toss, every opponent injury report, it always goes their way.

They can just run the clock out if they want, that helps the Bills just as much as a Chiefs loss.

Just ridiculous how lucky KC gets. It's defined their whole dynasty. They won one Super Bowl because of a missed wide open deep TD pass.

Why does Jeff Driskel keep coming into the game? I don't understand that at all.

Well that's my point. Your season is over and you're hopelessly outmatched against the Chiefs. Why not use that play as an opportunity to try and get some confidence going? David doesn't beat Goliath just running and hiding. Stand up and take your best shot. Otherwise what's the point of showing up?

They punted from the 50 and then give up this drive. I'm not surprised but I am angry.

Goddammit, the Texans are really going to give me hope today aren't they. I hate this stupid sport and this stupid league.

Weeky reminder that if you watch other contenders like the Eagles and Chiefs as closely as you watch the Bills you'll come away with a ton of negatives. Great teams persist through the negatives and find a way to win. As it always was, as it always will be. 11-3 is 11-3.

I know the Chiefs would slaughter the Texans today no matter what, but of course they happen to play them when their best offensive player Dameon Pierce is out with an injury. Never seen a team get so many breaks on their schedule year after year.

I guess you don't understand modern football?

The forum would be incredibly boring if after every win we all just posted virtual high fives. Nothing wrong with just enjoying wins but that's not why we come here. I'll cut Dorsey a little slack because he's a 1st year coordinator and the talent on offense is below average for a championship contender. I just wish he would make it a point to focus more on quick passes and running the ball. The drives where we do seem to always be successful. The drives that fail often feature three attempts to set up deep shots. I know Allen is elite but there's no rule that says elite QBs aren't allowed to have easy answers mixed in. Mahomes gets multiple plays a game that are easy pitch and catch to pass catchers in space. We get very few of those.

Allen made up for deficiencies in scheming and play calling. To be fair to Dorsey the lack of separation from our receivers is noticeable. But he doesn't scheme up a lot of easy ones.

This guy I follow on Twitter has it exactly right: Here's how I would put it - the Dolphins very clearly had the better offensive weapons, OL, and offensive coaching tonight. But the gap between Tua (who played decently) and Allen is so great that it more than made up that difference. Having an MVP level QB is a cheat code.

Not really. He caught every pass that hit him softly right in his hands. That's bare minimum stuff.
