HalftimeAdjustment

If Leslie Frazier gets a HC job, we get an extra 3rd this year and next, right? You could use the extra 3rd on him just to be sure and you haven't really lost much. Or, take a risk and trade down into the 4th.

When he plays his best football in the playoffs (multiple games) nstead of melting down under pressure... that is a sign that he is a mentally elite QB. And that is the most important reason he won't regress. Of course he will still have a bad game from time to time, but I think he will be more consistent next year.

It may not have just been that game... but allegedly, the Giants defensive players were coached to do 2 things to slow the no-huddle: 1) Interfere with the spotting of the ball 2) Fake injuries on the field. Basically these measures were used to give the defense a rest from the no-huddle offense and get prepared for the next play. Granted, these are mostly rumors. Anyhow, how awful is it that they sent Belichick's defensive game plan to the Hall of Fame? 🤮

Yes. We lost a Super Bowl 20-19 to a team that seemed clearly inferior. Our defense couldn't stop them when it counted. Possibly the worst part is knowing that Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick were involved, and hearing Parcells brag "power football wins". They changed the rules on 4th quarter injuries afterwards because Belichick abused the rulebook so much.

Why do these threads keep happening? But... here are my rankings anyhow. SB25 ... SB28 SB27 SB26 ... "Music City Miracle" ... 1989 Ronnie Harmon drop 13 seconds ... Texans playoff loss Chiefs AFC champ loss ... Jim Kelly's last game ... Others Why don't I rank this loss higher? Because we lost to a team that was basically an even match, and we didn't get ripped off by some ref BS or something. We played well and got beat. In SB25, the MCM, and the Ronnie Harmon drop it felt like we lost to a worse team. And the other Super Bowl losses were all crushing regardless.

We scored on 5 out of 9 drives. KC scored on 7 of 10 drives. You can argue that either way, maybe we need a better defense or better offense. Might as well go BPA within reason.

In all seriousness, he needs to practice a bit more in windy conditions to judge the throws into the wind. Beyond that... if he could bottle his playoff performance there is nothing realistic to improve. However it was only a few weeks ago he had a passer rating of 17. I am sure there is some film study from the season to use.

In regulation: Their offense scored 4 TDs, 3 FGs, and they missed a FG. They punted twice. That counts as either 2 full stops if only the punts count, or 3 if you include the missed FG. And 3 more partial stops with the FGs. Our offense scored 5 TDs and punted 4 times. So they in fact, stopped us 4 out of 9 drives while we stopped them from scoring 3 times out of 10 drives... and held them to 3pts on 3 out of 10 drives. If any of the 3 punts we had in the 1st half resulted in points, who knows what would have happened??

KC has now hosted the AFC championship 4 years in a row. It doesn't seem like it got any easier for them to maintain that streak, but they did. It also doesn't seem like this year was that much easier than last year (we lost 3 more games). There are plenty of competitive teams but that is true most years, really. We will never just be the undisputed #1 in the conference, most likely. But we can still win with the right coaching, talent, and luck.

If you want to wallow in negativity, there are definitely plenty of threads for that.

Here's a plus. The Cheifs' set of ultra fast receivers will age/decline faster than Josh.

We closed the gap in part because our quarterback put together back-to-back A-games in the playoffs, unlike some QBs who put up gaudy stats and fold in the postseason (paging Dak Prescott). I am happy that he is 25 and in the first year of a new contract.

We shouldn't have had a drive earlier than went run run run punt.

These are the Bills we're talking about. Plus every other game ended on the last play of regulation... there was every reason to believe they could pull off a miracle since we had just pulled off basically 2 miracle drives ourselves.

I feel like Rousseau has shown promise. Not as much for the others... although the jury is out on Basham too I'd say.

We beat that guy last week.

If that game was in Buffalo, I'm pretty sure we win it. The crowd affected us earlier in the game.

And yet, Hill had just burned us for what, 46 yds on a punt return?

Yes, it is hard to take. We also had the game won in Tennessee before blowing it on the kickoff. When we scored with 13s remaining and Romo was raving about the Bills, I kept saying "it's not over, it's not over!" ... unfortunately that was true.

I have had a lot of respect for the effort Beasley gives, but in the end he is tackled a yard short of the 1st down almost every time. A faster player would get there more often, if we can find one who can catch. I think he needs to move on from Buffalo. Our DL looks like it can use some help probably at DE. Let's hope we hire the right coordinators; I am concerned Frazier will lose out on the HC jobs (Daboll will get one) which means we don't get the 2 3rd round picks.

People saying this was the "worst" loss are suffering from recency bias. It's behind Wide Right in Super Bowl 25) and the illegal forward lateral in Tennessee. It's a little bit worse than the 1989 Ronnie Harmon dropped pass in the endzone or the other Super Bowls (in which the Bills were clearly beaten). It's definitely worse than last year's AFC championship game loss. Other playoff or regular season games need not apply.

Every game this weekend was a last second affair.

I saw the QBs on the same level, and Hill is amazing yet Davis matched him, but Kelce > Knox and the Chiefs defense made a few key stops early in the game to keep them in it.

Well, Josh and Gabe Davis had amazing games. The rest of the offense, an OK game. The defense... not a good showing.

They should have let Josh bust out a run on 2nd and 15... would have given us a more reasonable 3rd.
