Worstcaseontario Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Not going on 4th and shorts was a bad decision 1
Do The Reich Thing Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 McD does a good job at learning from mistakes when you give him time to digest it. I’m not worried long term, but it frustrated the hell outta me when they didn’t change anything or try something else out when the “soft zone” wasn’t working. Coaches are their own worst enemies in the moment with their egos. 1
Southern Bills Fan Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Hopefully McDermott learns from this. Everyone knows you don’t beat KC kicking field goals. Especially when both 4th downs were short yardage. 1
4merper4mer Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Just now, GunnerBill said: Can you not remember Rex's defenses then... they were only 4 and 5 years ago? What about Wannatasche? 100% but they didn’t do nearly enough today. Douche Kelce and the child beater killed them. It was eye opening. Milano was easily exploited all day, we had no pass rush and Tre was not great either. Obviously KC is elite but we need more. I think Star opting out hurt our scheme all year and we mostly made the best of it. I’m not sure where we can get the following: An elite pass rusher Some solidification/depth on the DL in the middle. Is that Star? Better linebackers. I am very pro Edmunds and Milano has a place but not at the price he will require. Drafting someone there would be my preference. On O we’re pretty clearly generally in good shape. I worry about Brown’s longevity and the run blocking. A legit TE wouldn’t hurt. We’re better than almost every team in the league but a few steps behind KC. 1
Nelius Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 No killer instinct...despite first playoff appearance in years, now first AFC championship in years... Yeah maybe we should just cut our losses, and I don’t know, give Josh McDaniels or somebody a ring. Board is going to be madness this week. 1

Do you actually feel like the Bills could have completed a pass or ran the ball to score? From what I saw tonight, the odds were very low of that happening. 1
Freddie's Dead Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 The FG from the 2 yard line was bad. The other decision was to go for 2 down 17. you kick the XP to make it a two score game. When the Bills failed the try, it became a 3 score game. It was worse when we recovered the onside kick. We had no chance down 3 scores. I keep waiting for McD to eliminate his game management mistakes. Well, there's always next year. 2

Collectively all season. They had a couple games they played well but overall it was tough to watch. Last years D was light years ahead of this one.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Check out KC receiving stats, the 2 guys we trying to shutdown had 290 of the 345 yards. Sickening
Peter Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I cannot imagine what this team would have done without Josh. We better figure out how to give him better pass protection, a running game, and a better defense.
Real McClappy Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Was a great year and learning experience for McD. Great year and a ton to build off of.

We need a difference maker in the front 7 and we don't have one and our one elite difference maker on the backend - Tre - is not a good matchup against their best guy in Hill. So where against some other teams we can lock Tre on to their #1 and then play 10 v 10 we don't even have that option against KC. It's a puzzle but one I believe our staff have earned enough credit to be trusted to solve... or get closer at least.
Baba Booey Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Made some questionable decisions tonight. I go for the TDs when down in Red Zone. No way you are going to beat KC with fgs. 2

The odds were low but that doesn't change the fact that you can't trade TDs for FGs against a team you can't stop. Sometimes you gotta go all in even when the odds are against you. I thought McD made some bad decisions tonight but I also don't think that's why we lost. Sometimes you just tip your hat to a better team.
london_bills Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) In regards to Mcdermott and Allen, I think we are better off looking at both of them as very good rather than elite.. until they perform elitely in the elite games. Most other teams would want them but yesterday was a reminder of what elite is. Edited January 25, 2021 by london_bills
