HappyDays

Trust me I'm as annoyed as anyone. Especially after what we had to watch earlier. I'm just amazed at how every single coach that faces them hasn't figured it out yet. Every week I watch to see how their opponent will fail to capitalize on their opportunity. The Chiefs have only won a couple games this year. Their opponents have lost a dozen.

What is there to hate about the Chiefs? They've left the door open for all of their opponents to beat them this year. Only one coach and one player has accepted the invitation.

And that's game. Harbaugh failed to tell his defense that they needed to "accidentally" blow a coverage in the endzone. Either be up by two scores with 2 minutes left or make 100% sure you have the ball last. I don't understand how teams haven't figured this out yet.

Nothing annoying about the Chiefs. What's annoying is that their opponents don't understand there is a very specific game script youu have to follow to beat them. McDermott actually is the only one this year that understood this. Harbaugh is coaching this final series like it's a normal game. He like the rest of them still hasn't figured it out.

This is why I've been saying they are going 16-1 and getting the threepeat unless the Bills stop them. We're the only team that can. Everyone laughed when I credited them for barely beating the Panthers and Raiders. But they beat every opponent like this. They'll win the Super Bowl like this. Unless the Bills and only the Bills stop them.

Teams don't learn. Might as well just all out blitz Mahomes on every down in this scenario, seriously. Worst case scenario is they score a wide open TD and your offense gets the ball last.

They should have done it on the quick throw to Worthy. Or on that run just now.

Don't blitz Mahomes on 3rd down. This rule has been well established but I see defenses do it all the time

Bad kick isn't a terrible outcome. Get the inevitable score out of the way so the Chargers have a chance to drive for the winning score as time expires

Apparently this is what you think happened in the 2nd half:

Yeah there is nothing but bad things to say about McDermott in this one. His side of the ball was abysmal. The special teams run by the coach he hand selected had multiple critical failures. There were several game management decisions that he utterly botched. You could say McDermott single handedly ruined a historic QB performance. Something he has now done twice in his career.

But also the extra 3rd down play gave them 40 more seconds to run off the clock which absolutely mattered at the end. If the Bills had managed the end of the game appropriately we wouldn't have even needed to onside kick. We would have had all 3 timeouts and like 1:40 left after we scored our final TD. Our decisions in the final minutes turned a winnable game into a certain loss.

Luckily this is the first time ever under McDermott that a special teams communication error at the end has led to us losing a close game despite a historic QB performance.

Turns out we had 9 players on the field:

Holy hell there were like 10 different massive coaching failures that happened in the last 4 minutes of this game.

I'm listening now and I'm in shock! Genuinely thought he was going to come up to the podium and say "this loss is on me", instead he's actually saying that they did what they thought was the best course of action. In his opening statement he says "I wish we had run the ball with our RBs more". He has no clue what even caused this loss. Wow.

McDermott talking now. Part of his opening statement - "I would have liked to see us run the ball a bit more with our RBs." And now he is trying to defend the end of game timeout saying "we thought that was our best course of action." Please get him out of here! I'd be fine even if it happened tomorrow and Brady took over. My jaw is on the floor with this press conference.

Yeah unfortunately Allen's legacy rests on the whims of a single billionaire. I don't know, maybe if Allen himself gets fed up enough he'll call a meeting with Terry but he doesn't strike me as the type.

Do you really believe this? You think some of us get a sick satisfaction out of watching the greatest player in Bills history lose games like this because of his coach? I'm mortified right now. Any confidence I had that McDermott had finally figured out his close game problems has completely evaporated. I now feel like I'm just waiting for the inevitable heartbreaking close playoff loss caused by poor coaching decisions at the end. I don't want to feel like this. I want Josh to have the coach that he deserves.

Even putting aside the multiple all-time brain farts, you can't have a defensive head coach and end up with a historically embarrassing result like this. It just can't happen.

I really want to like McDermott. He got the stink out of OBD which was a Herculean effort and I will always appreciate him for that. But he can't execute in the critical moments that Super Bowl winners need to execute in multiple times over the course of their run. 13 seconds is the most talked about moment but there have been a dozen like it over the years. At some point we just have to accept it is a fatal flaw and he will never overcome it.

Someone asked him at the presser if he made an audible and he said "no I did my best to execute the play that was called." Of course because he's Josh he took the blame for not getting into the endzone there but yeah I could tell he was a bit bothered about it all. How many times can he watch his own greatness be erased by horrendous coaching before he decides to continue his career elsewhere?

I think our QB literally broke records tonight and we lost the game. I think our head coach's side of the ball stunk out loud. I think our head coach made an unjustifiable decision to take a 4th and 7 off the board (for multiple reasons). I think our head coach's unbelievable decision to call a TO at the end cost us even a small chance of winning. You're alone on this one man. Everybody saw the game. Everybody has seen something like the end of this game a dozen times under McDermott. It's over. He isn't going to suddenly figure it out after 8 years. He was the guy to get us moving uphill, he is absolutely not the guy to get us over the mountain. He cannot be allowed to continue to waste an all time great QB.

He's already wasted Allen's career. At this point it's about salvaging his legacy by getting a coach here that can get him a Super Bowl before he retires. It's too late for him to be the GOAT but he can still go down in history. But the clock is ticking

It's not about this game. It's about a pattern of horrid almost unbelievable coaching moments near the end of close games. We laugh when Matt Eberflus and Antonio Pierce's teams fail in these moments, but our coach is no better. If you can't see that, I don't know what else to say.
