At home ...

Part of "complimentary football" apparently.

It is KC's best offensive road game of the entire season. Some terrible defenses played them better, and even injured they were not better than we áre.

The offense averaged 17 PPG the last two weeks of the regular season, both times against crap defenses. Last week we had only 203 passing yards. If that's a flow, great, but some points would be nice. Seemingly unnoticed by McD apologists is that our offense has scored less under Brady and Allen has often been relegated to being a gamer manager. If not for his rushing we wouldn't even have a winning record. It's a fair speculation to think that Brady's done what McD has instructed him to do in the name of " Complimentary Football," and turned Allen into a short-yardage game manager to support his defense. Unfortunately McD's defense doesn't work out beyond the Wild Card round in the playoffs. The youngster will learn at some point. Maybe when he's coaching a different team after Allen retires having left career passing yards and TDs on the table.

Sherfield sucks as a WR. Why anyone thinks differently is a mystery. As to Davis, the forum's favorite whipping boy, he's been our biggest producer in the playoffs in '21 & '22 with a 70% catch%. He had over 40% of our WR receiving yards and 75% of the WR TDs. Beasley & Sanders had three only two other TDs. Either way, this was KC's best road game for their offense this entire season. That's inexcusable given the circumstances. Their receivers, most of which suck, were wide open at opportune times for them much like in the 13-Seconds game. That's a coaching issue. How TF do you leave Kelce wide f'n open at key moments. Mr. Defensive Guru failed again in the playoffs. I'm curious who gets thrown under the bus this time. But hey, the eighth season against tougher competition will be the charm. Yeah, that's it. SMFH

How do you know that the issue is not Brady? While everyone's been fawning over Brady, seemingly few have realized that our offensive metrics have actually been worse than they were under Dorsey. We've turned our Allen-led offense into a dink-dunk short yardage extravaganza. I guess that's what "Complimentary Football" means in McD's world. Great idea Joel! Where else can you get a cup of hot chocolate for $4. Funny too, no one can point a finger at Davis. The irony is that he's been our highest producing playoff WR over the past two seasons prior to this one.

They kept trying to rush Mahomes around the edges despite Mahomes not having a huge night. Mahome's night was very pedestrian. Meanwhile, at opportune times, Pacheco ran as if he was Emmitt Smith in his prime. Also, how are Kelce and a couple of other receivers wide f'n open? We can't blame the LBs for that. Anyone can cover, but not a player was in the area for several of their huge gains. We need to face it, McD's Ds, and this one was all on him, simply collapse in the Divisional Round or after.

We never should have tried that, and that's on McD. You have no idea that McD didn't instruct the STs coach to do that. It was downright stupid.

More of the same. Pegula's satisfied and counting his billions. No changes. For us fans, expect more of the same. Solid regular season performance, maybe a WC Round win, then a Divisional Round loss. Who knows when Pegula will fire McD. He's got 9 lives and through only a couple of them. The repetitive play-calling in the 2nd Half for plays that clearly were not working was mind-blowing. We ran 37 plays for a paltry 133 yards in the 2nd Half!!!! That's 3.6 yards-per-play, which SUCKS!

Well great. We're all fans in our own way. Not a single person in here or at the game wearing Bills gear was doing anything but cheering their brains out for a win. How anyone approaches their take on the outcomes has nothing to do with why we play like crap after the Wild Card Round and can't beat some of the worst playoff teams then.

He's the only reason we were in the game. The Defense took a vacation in the 2nd Half. Not sure why the monumental difference in the two halves, other than that Reid adjusted and as usual, McD did nothing. We're 1-3 in divisional games, which is inexcusable. We're great against siht teams in the WC rounds. 0-1 in the CCG. It's pretty clear why. But some refuse to see it.

Well, that's what you get with Sherfield, Mr. 50% Catch%. Otherwise, every team has drops. We need to stop acting as if that's the only reason we lost. We got our a$$e$ handed to us in coaching throughout the 2nd Half. That has nothing to do with dropped balls. This game never should have been that close. This was easily KC's best game offensively against any playoff team this season. Brady ain't cuttin' it either. Those repetitive plays that weren't working in the 2nd half. ADJUST!!! Sadly, we don't do that well, and that has nothing to do with dropped passes either. If we want to take the next step, we need a new HC and a new OC. Let's quit dredging the barrel for ours. We need a HC that understands offense. This loss was entirely inexcusable. We'll likely never see a worse KC team with Mahomes at QB. Of all teams to lose to in this game ... SMFH!!

Of course! Someone with no experience in the roll that will never be a candidate to take over McD's job after his D continually fails us in the playoffs. Good luck on drafting a WR. I'm sure we're in for a CB in round 1 and a LB in round 2, leaving Allen with what he has for the most part. 0-3 in Divisional Round games the past three seasons, with our #1/2/4 scoring defenses allowing an average of 30 PPG in regulation. Should he be replaced? If we want to advance and win, yes. Will he be? Not a chance with Pegula in charge.

Who doesn't own McD once we get to the divisional round. That 2nd-Half coaching performance reeked to the nines! But, I'm sure it's not McD's fault. It's everything and everyone else.

Not even a mismatch. No one at all. SMFH

KC is arguably the most overrated, not worst, but overrated team in the playoffs. They've been playing .500 ball for over two months. The only playoff team that they've beaten all season is Miami.

As to our offense, it will be interesting. Despite being a negligible part of our cap space, for as much of a whipping boy Davis is for the forum, he's largely been responsible for our playoff success in the passing game. Over our past four playoff games he has 18 catches for 389 yards and 6 TDs. He has a 70% Catch%. Say what we want about him during the regular season, he's been money in the playoffs and the sole reason why were even in the 13-Seconds game. All of our other WRs combined have 43 catches for 564 yards and 2 TDs. The TDs were by Beasley and Sanders. Beasley vs. Miami last season, Sanders vs. NE in '21. Either way, that's an average of 11 catches for 141 yards and one TD every other game.

Good link. Having said that, this entire discussion isn't complete without a comp of positions, starter-to-starter. The Chiefs' receivers aren't exactly striking fear into the hearts of opposing defenses this season. Mahomes has about 2/3 of the passing yards that he's had the past several seasons, about 75% of the passing 1st-Downs, and a significantly lower Rating, YPA, YPC, INT%, and Success% than any other season. It's not the Chiefs' offense that should be a problem.

Agree The Chiefs' situation isn't ideal either. An aging vet TE and a rookie WRs are their only consistently reliable weapons on offense in terms of receiving. Imagine if that's all we had, the amount of kleenex that would be needed. All we're missing on offense and remarkably, many seem to think that it's addition by subtraction. As to Davis, for a WR that's put up three times more receiving TDs than the rest of the WR field combined over the past two seasons' playoffs, about 2/3 of the total yards of all other WRs, including Diggs, and with a 70% or so catch% in the playoffs, we'll see how it plays out, but Sherfield ain't gonna fill in. Mahomes has passed for more than 306 yards only once this season, and that against one of the league's worst pass Ds. We have one of the best. Mahomes has also had only two games with more than 2 passing TDs this season. Again, both against siht Ds, one of which is the same as the aforementioned. So yeah, no complaining, no excuses. It's also difficult to imagine that this won't be the most hyped up crowd at OBD ever. The fans in attendance will be doing their part in spades.

Numerous crappy teams and teams with scoring defenses ranked in the 20s, two in the low 20s, have held KC to 21 or fewer points. Six in fact. The 30th, 17 points. The 27th, 19 and 9 points. The 24th, 13. The 23rd, 20. If our 4th ranked scoring defense cannot manage to hold them to 21 or fewer, even with injuries, which are common to every team ... In fact, one of the teams we beat to get here, a win without which we wouldn't have made it, had their starting QB, a top one, their only decent starting WR, also a top one, and one of the best DEs in the league all out. As merely one example. Same with our offense in our own house. KC is as offensively weak as we'll ever see them with Mahomes as QB. GO BILLS!!! Get this done!

LOL Where the hell did that come from. To start, I was responding to another's comment in a similar vein. Some of you guys, you can't seem to comment without making it personal. Sorry to disappoint you, I've enjoyed it quite thoroughly. See if you can wrap your mental arms around the fact that if we can't win today then we'll have won a grand total of one D-Round game on McD's entire watch. IDK, maybe multiple thoughts push you over the top in terms of capability. LOL Too much to grasp, along with the ramifications of it? Honestly, if you can't argue the topics, why bother? I truly feel sorry for anyone that struggles to do that.

We won for straight AFC Titles then, so not even. It's quite arguable that this team is better than the '91 team that spanked KC in the playoffs 37-14.

Or even an AFC Championship. This is a huge game for McD. We're the better team today, at home, this will likely be the most insane 12th man ever, and they are no excuses, not even injuries. GO BILLS!!!

I'm tellin' ya, can you imagine Allen on that Niner offense with that offensive coaching. Don't know about that 6 games thing w/ Purdy though, he's good as well. NFL records being set with Allen though!

Outrageous! 😎
