This team went into the last 2 days of the season with missing the playoffs still a possibility. It didn't feel like a Super Bowl year. If anything they overachieved getting the #2 seed, a playoff win and taking the divisional to a photo finish.

I think if Douglas and Benford are healthy we probably win this game. Douglas was obviously hobbled out there, he had no speed. Dane Jackson got burned over and over. He also couldn't make a tackle in run support to save his life.

First Sherfield drop actually hit him square in the chest, lol. Reminded me of the Gabe Davis drop against he Jets last year after Allen partially tore his UCL.

I'm kind of hoping that we hear about some injury Diggs has been nursing since mid-season that he can recover from. Because otherwise he's cooked, and he has a huge cap hit that we can't get out of because it's already had salary converted to bonus to reduce cap a couple times.

Couldn't disagree with this take more strongly. Mahomes didn't get a first down twice at the end of the game (bailed out the first time by a penalty), when he could have essentially ended the game. Allen did at least the minimum of his job, which was get the Bills into FG position to extend the game and he did that just fine even with Brady wasting every first down with a Cook run for no gain.

I don't know what the third down play call was at the end, but they should have been calling the play like they were going to go for 4th down. Pick up 5-8 yards and put the game in the hands of Allen. Brady in general called a pretty poor game in the second half IMO.

He could have dropped the deep balls instead of Sherfield (although he does seem to inexplicably ball out against KC).

Historically you are absolutely right. Hopefully they can buck the trend.

If this game comes down to Bass, I’m not going to feel very good about it.

Haack must have really been bad.

Sherfield 2 drops tonight. Dude is a scrub.

That last angle really makes it look like he fumbled, but it isn’t really conclusive unless the refs have the ability to sync the 2 angles and see them at the same time.

Our defense is cooked. Too many injuries and our safeties are too old and slow.

That was a pretty quick whistle

Yea, holding at the point of attack. They should call that.

That’s a hold on the outside

Diggs and Shakir had great catches on that final drive for the Bills. Makes up for Cook dropping another TD.

Poyer is kind of a bum now

That was a weird drive

I love Baker, but gotta root for the Lions here. Those poor people have suffered enough.

A charitable interpretation is he had a very minor concussion that they wouldn’t even pull you from the game in the old days, and they are being extremely overly cautious having him in the protocol in the first place. An uncharitable interpretation is he was rushed through the process to be able to play in a big game to the detriment of his long term health. Hard to know for sure from an outsider’s perspective.

I think hiring head coaches has so much weirdness and luck involved, I’m not going to be too critical unless a team hires a known bad coach (like Josh McDaniels). This guy had the benefit of the locker room being bought in and overachieving, so that is something. Really doesn’t matter who the HC is if they don’t get a QB.

Except for the Vikings game last year, but I blame Gabe Davis.

Love went into desperation mode way too soon. He had a lot of time and timeouts left. Should have kept picking up 10-15 yard chunks. Allen is guilty of that sometimes too.

The heavens opened up. It’s like divine intervention for the 49ers.
