Nice to see it’s possible to create stops and turnovers against KC. I hope our number one D ranking doesn’t stop us from making much needed changes to our D that turtles against good offensive teams.

Never said I could do it, just saying it’s time for coaching to advance a little. That’s why guys like Andy Reid dominate. The top coaches are too far above the next tier. There’s plenty of coaches I like, but guys who lack innovation somehow keep getting hired, that’s what I don’t get.

NFL coaching is rotten. The league needs to find a better way to bring coaching talent on board.

Some people are simply negative, others are trolls, but most are just venting. I think the majority fall into the venting category. The Buffalo Bills mean a lot to people. People are known to overreact when something important lets them down. Especially when it rehashes old baggage. This is the franchise of four Super Bowl losses, Music City Miracle, and Wide Right. We’re in a relationship that has wounds, and Buffalo Bills meltdowns hit a sour note with folks. The future is bright, but those old wounds come to the surface when we suffer extraordinary losses. I’d just take a break from the board if needed.

It’s not just Brady himself who bent the rules either. His entire Pats career was filled with shadowy figures.

Possible, but I don’t understand this dude’s tweet. I’m probably just being stupid, but why would Brady need the $15M to “process” before making a retirement decision? He gets the money regardless, I don’t understand what this dude is getting at.

I don’t see how a squib kick wins the game if our defensive game plan involved not covering literally anyone. We called the perfect D to keep them out of the end zone, but not field goal range. Let’s not forget that KC had timeouts. Here’s a possible squib kick scenario. They start at the 35 with 7 seconds, quick short pass followed by timeout, and throw another pass right into field goal range. Butker has a big leg as well. The squib kick probably should have been called, but that’s not the reason we lost. You can’t call a defense that solely protects the end zone when a field goal results in a demoralizing tie.

Daboll always drove me crazy on game day, but I think he’s a really good coach. There were those moments, but I can’t argue with the results. NY is an interesting landing spot though. I think the Giants HC job screams for someone with personality. Dealing with the NY media is a job itself. That franchise doesn’t have much going for it, and NY can be tough. It’s interesting they picked from the Belichick tree twice in a row, going from Judge to Daboll. I’d want a bigger personality after Judge got fired. I’m not convinced it’s a great situation, but you obviously take the job if you’re Daboll. I wish him nothing but the best.

Yeah, maybe it’s an exaggeration, but the extra game seems to change the complexion of the regular season. I got an NHL, NBA vibe from the better teams. It looked like teams are occasionally laid back during the regular season. The postseason has always been a level of intensity above the regular season, but teams seem more focused on the postseason than ever before. The regular season is becoming a formality. Teams with elite QB’s are always getting to the playoffs, and they know this, causing some games to lack intensity. Our regular season had this issue as well. The Steelers, Jags, and Colts were essentially bye weeks. I never like questioning effort, but did pick up an NBA vibe a few times this year. Players have the need to preserve themselves to an extent. What better time to dial it back then versus inferior opponents? I think we’ll see more of that going forward. More games hurt the product.

I can’t believe Elway has kept his job in Denver. This guy makes a lot of bad moves.

That’s a fair opinion, but I’m going to make a bold prediction. The Chiefs won’t be in the SB every year for the next decade. Another team will represent the AFC during that time. It’s up to McD to take advantage of that. Mahomes will be difficult to overcome, but that doesn’t discount this being McD’s best chance to win. We’re certainly not better off when Mahomes retires, as Allen’s prime might slip away. We might become Manning’s Colts to Brady’s Pats, but anything less than a title with Allen would be disappointing.

I agree, but circumstances are slightly different. Allen is the most dynamic player in the league. McDermott has his best chance at winning a SB in Allen’s prime. That window is open right now. Reid and Belichick took over a decade to get their elite QB, McD has his right now. This isn’t an irrational fire McD post. I just believe he needs a SB win in the next decade if it’s ever going to happen.

I don’t really care what happens to a specific player when we score 42 points. I’m not wanting to sound abrasive, just saying everything worked well, and Knox just wasn’t part of it on the day. I worry about particular players only when the team struggles as a result. Ask me about Rosseau and Basham, then I’ll talk.

Here’s my hot take. Rosseau and Basham were drafted specifically for this game, but they didn’t show up. We need help at the corner position, but I’m not sold on it being a first round need. The officials don’t allow corners to play football anyway. They certainly aren’t letting us get away with anything versus KC. You need a pass rush to beat an elite QB in today’s NFL. We got to Mahomes, but not with the type of pressure that truly disrupts a QB. The Rams might have sent Brady straight to retirement with a great pass rush. Our biggest issue is the draft capital we spent on the line. I’m not sure how much more can be done to fix it.

I’ve gotten to the age where I don’t live and die with losses. This one stings, and I’m still shell shocked. Never seen anything like it.

I didn’t see any help from safeties to contain big plays tonight. They took terrible angles and struggled in coverage.

Legitimately the worst defensive I’ve ever seen. It looked a Big 12 game.

Squib kick wouldn’t have saved us. It takes more time off the clock, but the Chiefs get better field position. They would have gotten into field goal range with one pass anyway.

Poyer and Hyde epically failed tonight. Safeties didn’t contain anything.

The D is soft.

I cried about Daboll earlier, but Im over it. The D has cost this season.

Allen and Davis fought so hard, does the D yell at Sullivan tonight, or do they take accountability?

Kelce dominates everyone, but it’s like we never cover him at all when we play KC.

Welcome to Leslie Frazier D. It’s been his entire career. Great coordinator, but he lets those things happen.

Allen did everything, we still have a chance, but for the fist time in my life, I’m sympathetic to Jerry Sullivan. This D needs to show something.
