I’m sure we’ll give them all up for Myles Garrett, and probably give him the PSL money as well.

Kincaid isn’t impressive physically compared to upper tier players. He was supposed to be a top notch player, but looks more like the typical “lunch box” guy. Kincaid doesn’t display enough speed, power, or strength to be an elite tight end imo. I was really excited about the Kincaid pick, but was immediately disappointed with what we saw early on. He always looked weak, with no run after the catch ability, and didn’t look like a big play threat. Kincaid might be one of those guys who was just better than everyone in college, but he doesn’t have enough to be a great pro.

Did they seriously photoshop an actual Josh Allen picture onto the stand? 😂

Yes, the Pats weren’t also a pop culture/tabloid phenomenon. The Chiefs represent many things that people find obnoxious.

It also helps to be one step ahead when the opposing GM trades draft picks to you.

I think Myles Garrett has made this board lose its collective mind.

I always look at it this way, if the player was on KC, what would this board say about them? I promise that players like Dawkins, Shakir, Cook, Brown, and Johnson would be considered special talents if they were on KC. I’m sure Andy Reid would scheme Shakir into being an all time great slot receiver as well. We tend to undervalue our best players as a way to justify losing to the Chiefs, and their great coaching staff. Besides Mahomes, who made elite plays for KC? We lost because we didn’t play our best, and were out coached.

No, we’re not that lucky. He’s no longer dominant on the field, but Kelce and the league will want to keep this circus going as long as possible.

We shouldn’t keep losing to KC in the playoffs by just a few points if the talent disparity is great as some claim. The games wouldn’t be that close.

Josh definitely deserves some blame, but I think there’s a reason we have zero points in those situations against the Chiefs. We hinder ourselves not letting Josh be Josh. In both three minute situations, the OC called plays based on running the clock. We never fully unleashed the offense because we wanted to score with no time left. That’s a tough game to play. It seems like we don’t want McD’s precious defense to be the reason we lose on a final possession.

Yeah, I think we need a separate post here where we can compare the Chiefs and Bills roster. I don’t think the talent disparity is as great as many claim. I don’t like most of Beane’s recent moves, but we didn’t lose to an elite Kelce. We lost to Mahomes and a bunch of offensive players we’d consider subpar if they were on our roster.

Josh didn’t get enough push on the short yardage plays? Maybe it’s just the way it was phrased, but that was an offensive line failure, and play caller who didn’t understand what wasn’t working. Josh can’t run through multiple three hundred pound guys.

This is a negative topic I don’t even like thinking about, but I don’t believe there’s zero chance Josh would ever leave. The possibility is always there. Sometimes ones personal goals supersede worries about what others think. He wouldn’t necessarily be “a liar” because things change in life. No one gets married talking about the divorce, but situations can change. I don’t think he’s going anywhere. That only happens if his relationship with McD is secretly bad.

The inability to force a punt after the Kincaid play is an underrated defensive fail as well. I’m not saying we had a great chance anymore, but that’s where a competent defense makes a stop.

Brady was absolutely terrible, and I’m surprised that isn’t universally agreed upon here. Any Madden play caller could score points with Allen. It’s all what you do when it counts most, and Brady has nothing special. He runs the same stuff over and over. We’ve seen the same short pass plays to Cook and Shakir all season with very little variation. We have the talent to succeed, but putting that repetitiveness on tape against someone like Spags is bad news.

I just can’t get those plays out of my head. It was like running repeatedly into a brick wall. That summed up the loss, and I can’t even move on to analyze other portions of the game.

That was a great video. Kincaid basically needed to make the catch like a baseball outfielder. Instead he poorly tracked the ball, ran incredibly slow (as usual), and made the catch much more difficult than it needed to be. It would have been a very tough catch, but I think he made it that way.

I agree, but I also can’t see the Chiefs running countless failed tush pushes, or horribly designed short yardage attempts. That’s on coaching. They also wouldn’t take James Cook out of the game on the final series.

I don’t disagree, but the best roster on paper doesn’t always win. There’s no reason KC definitely should beat us. They have better defensive talent, but they didn’t exactly shut us down either. These playoff loses to KC are being decided by just a few points. Dan Campbell and the Lions were completely overmatched, but we keep coming close. I blame the close loses on several key coaching decisions that we always seem to botch in the playoffs.

Football teams are typically an image of their coach. People act like I’m crazy when I say this, but McDermott looks nervous in the playoffs on the sideline. He’s not a calming influence, and I think it rubs off on players. We make fun of Mike McDaniels’ halftime interviews, but McD looked and sounded like a nervous mess during the halftime interview. As far as fear of the drought era, these fans are acting like someone in a bum marriage. You don’t stay in it because “you can’t do better”.

I agree, but something tells me the flag on the field that was picked up would have gone against us had Kincaid caught the pass.

I have a major issue with the fact that Elam was a first round draft pick who was never trusted to be on the field from the start. That rarely happens with a first round corner. Yet this regime allowed him to be one injury away from playing in a conference championship game. It doesn’t make sense to me.

“Everyone Eats” remember? I agree, we do need a number one pass catcher, but I think these inspirational “culture” mantras have become a toxic excuse for Beane’s failure to draft decent players.

Since the first time I saw him rookie season he didn’t look like a first round pick, even when he played decently. I watched him a bit in college as well, and he looked great. During his rookie NFL season he looked like a guy who falls to the ground at the first sign of contact, and had zero run after catch ability.

Exactly my point
