A whole lot of that is creating your plays, play-calling, and overall scheme to match the talents of your WRs. Beyond that it's a Beane issue. But hey, when you never draft a WR on days 1 or 2, ... As they say, you'll never hit unless you buy a ticket.

It's been obvious just watching it over the past two months too.

Our entire second half sucked. We averaged 3.6 YPP and failed to make any key adjustments at all, as usual. 3.6!! That was with our perfectly healthy offense. Davis was out, but he sucks and we're better without him we've been lectured. KC did. This loss, contrary to the injury narratives, is on coaching. Our perfectly healthy DL couldn't generate any pressure or stop their run. Their cast of WRs are hardly daunting, it shouldn't have taken Tre in his prime and our starters to handle them, they're backup caliber WRs. Meanwhile, how does a wide open Kelce have anything to do with talent? That might make sense if Elam was on him, but NO ONE was. No talent. He was uncovered. We're didn't even try on that one and several others. And how is it that we play great for a half and collapse in the second half, yet it's talent. If it were talent we'd have been outplayed in the first half too. We did not adjust at all, much less effectively. Once again, McD was playing not to lose and was out-coached. He's not a playoff coach, plain and simple. We can continue to pretend that he is, but that does not change anything.

And last season ... Wildcard weekend: 4 out of 6 home teams won. Divisional round: 3 out of 4 home teams won. We're the only home team to have lost in the Divisional round the past two seasons. Neither are the best coaches.

It was a desperation move. The only reason he was signed was because none of Beane's drafted edge-rushers turned into anything reliable or were looking promising. But again, that was a high-risk move. When you take risks and they don't own out, that shouldn't absolute the risk takers. For some of reason our drafted players take longer to develop than other teams' top draft picks that develop do. This past draft, Beane's 6th, is the sole exception.

He was all-in on Brady just like he was all-in on Dorsey. Maybe just get a game-manager QB with running skills. That's really what McD needs. Times three or four in a row.

Too bad this isn't open for bidding. I'd bid $2M for one tackle, get hauled off on a stretcher, go on IR, and retire.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Win the division, everyone gets excited, then lose in the Divisional Round. Oh, and by all means, don't draft a WR, make sure we draft a CB. Round 2 another DE. After all, our OL was perfectly healthy this season, we can count on that again. (sarcasm)

McDimwit almost always gets out-adjusted. It happened again yesterday. The running game was working great in the 1st half. Reid adjusted. McD did not. It cost us the game. Imagine if we don't get that touchback fumble recovery. This game ends up more like the '20 game @ KC. Horrific judgement in letting Hamlin run that fake punt. Bet the farm that we lose again next season in the Divisional Round. It's McD's specialty, even against lesser teams. At least we won the Regular Season for the fourth season in a row. Regardless of what they do in the offseason, my enthusiasm that we'll do anything come playoff time is practically nil.

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.
