I hope Rasul comes back soon and makes some big time plays when it matters, but today might be one of those games that seals his fate in the offseason.

“They’re a different team!” - Collinsworth, on KC with Pacheco. Sitting on 16 points in the 4th Quarter.

I don’t think people are furious that this hurts our 1 seed chances.. I think people were reminded of how our seasons keep ending.

Who are these people Herbert is throwing to? Smart with two T’s… not a real person.

Well, well, well…. Seems this is shaping up for an incredibly frustrating ending that’s influenced by the refs.

Insane that this is a conversation. Honestly, I can’t believe we have to discuss this.

Anyone downplaying the Rams offense is being disingenuous. They haven’t been healthy all season. Now they are, and Stafford was on a heater. Problem is, we’ve seen this song and dance before… elite QB and an offense that can run and pass, so our defense provides zero resistance. Combine that with a McDermott disasterclass at the end of the game and some random embarrassing fact like 9 men on the field for the final play as Josh Allen plays Superman and it’s Playoffs come early in narrative.

Chiefs barely getting by bad/mediocre teams. (Let’s see how they do against a good team) ….QB goes down in the 2nd Quarter

Herbert slowly becoming the same Herbert we know and love… looks the part, no points.

Doesnt even matter if they have prime Butker, McVay knew the deal.. don’t give it back to Allen up 6. McDermott made the right decision accepting the penalty and then played his typical 3rd and long rally to the ball defense, which makes me think he truly didn’t understand what McVay was always going to do.

Chargers feel good enough to keep it close, but never make the plays they need to make to beat the Chiefs. Hope to be wrong, but missing wide open TD’s and constantly punting from the 50 isn’t gonna do it.

Only Mahomes can throw to a wide open WR - Collinsworth

Lol.. of course. Honestly, this truly feels like our recent playoff losses, so maybe they got it out of their system.

This is the core fear that unlocked in every Bills fan today.

Quentin Johnston is a hilarious WR Catches that, but ends the game on a wide open drop last week

This is true. Goff is a system guy, and the Lions system can avalanche on you, but Goff isn’t Stafford. Stafford has Super Bowl/Elite QB DNA.. He’s capable of going toe to toe with Allen & Mahomes. As he showed today.

Yea… this is Josh Allen’s Offense. Brady calls plays, and is good at it, but whoever comes in will run JA’s Offense. But McDermott needs to show there’s upside to having a Defensive HC, because this isn’t fair to Allen right now.

Positives… Allen and this Offense are absolutely nuclear when they need to be and still get back Coleman and Kincaid. Josh Allen is easily the best player in the league (and has been for a minute) Bills Defense (and McDermott) have a prime opportunity to show us that “Playoff McDermott and his soft Defense” isn’t inevitable by getting back in the saddle and stepping up against Detroit next weekend.

You can’t have a defensive HC in the modern NFL and then excuse away his defense being a liability in big moments all the time. We’re losing Brady soon, and will probably lose the next guy… there has to be an upside to dealing with that.

I want, so bad, to be wrong about McDermott. His culture is amazing and he’s a genuinely awesome person. After Josh Allen, Sean McDermott would the best most emotional I get seeing win a Super Bowl… But everyone knows that this is the fear in the playoffs.. and it’s a fear for a reason.

Nah, this isnt even Bills fans being overly critical, McDermott has reached the point where his defense and decision making in big moments is a topic of conversation on football shows and in the football community. He’s getting absolutely torched on X right now, and justifiably so. This can’t keep happening.

This game drove a stake through my heart in terms of postseason confidence We have the best player in the NFL, and this is what we have to deal with in the big moments every year Taking the penalty is the right move, I assumed because he knew they’d go for it, but then you don’t play McD’s typical 3rd and long rally to the ball defense after that Even with the defense collapse today, Allen still willed us to a chance to be down 2, with 3 timeouts, needing one stop… you cannot, under any circumstances, blow a TO there… I honestly cannot believe what I just witnessed. That should be obvious to a JV coach, let alone an NFL HC
