Absolutely pathetic play calling

Russ is kind of balling right now and you just run up the middle on 3 straight plays?

What the hell is this play calling?

Wow that's an unbelievable mistake. The kind that KC never makes

Ugh that's a killer timeout

Mahomes has easy answers on pretty much every single play

Hot take - Wilson has made more high level plays than Mahomes in this one

He's missed a lot of reads and throws this year. Probably the worst year of his career to be honest. Which speaks to how incredible the team and coaching staff around him have been.

I think we're safe. Indy has NYG and JAX to end the year. They win both, Cincy is out no matter what else happens.

Nobody ever steps up to make a play against the Chiefs. They are handed gifts and drop them.

Oh we tried. They were 100% coming back to win that one until Josh Allen decided to take matters into his own hands. He's the only player that can stop them from threepeating. I've been saying this for weeks and nobody wanted to hear it.

Yes I'm old enough to remember when they were lucky to be 11-1 barely getting by the Panthers and Raiders. Nobody has learned anything about this team.

How so? Pittsburgh just got Pickens back and the Chiefs are more injured at major positions than just about any team in the league. They're proof that all the excuses other fanbases make are just that.

That was a pretty rounded route in the endzone, I have no idea what that DB was doing. He let Watson just casually run right by him.

Mahomes has missed a lot of basic throws this year and it never ends up mattering

Specifically their defensive scheme and game planning. They've had a bunch of injuries and just keep plugging away.

They're down their best defensive player, their #2 outside CB, and their slot CB. That's probably too many injuries to overcome on defense, or so I've been told.

The gap between the Chiefs coaching staff and every other coaching staff is absurd. At least today will put an end to the silly #1 seed fantasy.

The Bills were playing for their playoff lives for like 6 straight weeks last year and entered the playoffs worn out and banged up. Especially on defense it really caught up to them in the divisional round, and even large parts of the wildcard game were ugly. It's easy for a healthy and well rested team to turn it back on when they enter a sudden death game. Much harder for a team that's been running on fumes to keep the gas pedal down. I expect the next two weeks to look somewhat bumpy as a bored and conservative Bills team faces squads with nothing to lose and playing for pride, but it won't mean anything and it won't concern me. I know what this team is and what they're able to accomplish if they stay healthy.

Dalvin Cook had known injury issues as a draft prospect. Multiple shoulder surgeries and hamstring issues. He also had 766 touches in college compared to James Cook who had just 297 touches in college. I don't worry about Cook running out of gas until he's at least 30 to be honest. His play style means he doesn't take a lot of nasty hits or a lot of contact in general, and as I noted he has relatively very little mileage because of his utilization at Georgia. Alvin Kamara is the much better comp, and he has aged very well. I am always against 2nd contracts for RBs. The only thing that makes me pause with Cook is his home run ability. I know the usual thought process is that the difference from one RB to the next isn't enough to justify the extra money, but some of the TDs he scored this year are not replicable by the large majority of RBs. His combination of vision, acceleration, and quick feet makes him a legit threat to score a TD on every play and that is valuable enough to at least have the conversation about extending him IMO. Ideally we would have a couple home run threats at WR on the roster and then we wouldn't need to even think about it. So if Cook goes elsewhere and we lose his explosiveness, they need to continue prioritizing the WR position to make up for it.

He's been the 2nd best player on the team IMO. Already has a claim as the best run blocking OT in the game. If/when Penei Sewell moves to LT, Brown will be the best RT in the league.

Also there have been a lot of plays over the years in critical moments where the defense has failed to make the play they needed to make to pull out a win. Last year in particular it was a huge problem. Fans don't remember every single 3rd down, they remember the big moments. More often than not this defense fails in those moments which contributes to a general feeling of anti-clutchness amongst the fanbase, regardless of what the stats look like on a year to year basis.

Shakir doesn't make those catches. It generally turns out bad when we try to throw him the ball downfield. I guess I'm fine that we gave him a couple shots just to prove those shouldn't be part of the playbook any longer. Use him where he belongs - in the short and occasionally intermediate areas with room to run after the catch.

Here's the play: Not much to say, the play was dead on arrival and like Dan Orlovsky says Allen just threw one out there because there's nothing to lose. Coleman does beat his man which is good to see but Allen is moved off his spot by pressure before the routes develop.

Having watched the all-22 back he really wasn't bad at all. Just less Superman plays than we've seen in recent weeks which to me seemed intentional. Whenever the Pats got into man our guys were completely locked down. There were only a couple plays at most where I thought he just flat out missed a read or a throw. Honestly Coleman may have been the best separator of all of them in man coverage but Allen didn't look his way too often.
