Doubt it. Probably a high scoring type of game. Bills D would have trouble with the Bengals offense. Allen would have to win a shootout with Burrow.

Bills D also didn’t get the Mahomes that looked drunk in the second half. 

Because Cinnys D made adjustments, wrapped up tackles and finished plays. Buffalo’s D was soft and let him do what we wanted

For those criticizing McDermott, I say a little perspective is needed. He's a great young coach, who has created a strong culture here. AND if you get to a lot of playoff games, you'll have a lot of chances. Good coaches and good players are going to win eventually. 

 

Andy Reid, the loveable guy who "just couldn't win the big games" has a look at this:

 

Coaching in his 4th Super Bowl, with 1 title already

Coaching in his 3rd Super Bowl in a row, something only Schula, Levy and Belichick have done

Moving from #5 to #4 in all-time HC wins in the next 1.5 seasons 

Moving from #4 to #3 in all-time HC wins if he coaches another 6-7 years (he's only 63 now)

Possibly even move to #2 all-time behind only Belichick or Schula, depending on how long Bill coaches

 

If Bill retires in a year or two, there is a decent chance that Reid ends up with more wins all-time as a HC. 

 

What does this have to do with McDermott?

 

People were saying the exact same things some are saying now about McD: he can only take you so far, etc. 

 

No. You find a very good coach (and McD is a very good coach IMO) and you keep him. There are so many bad HC in the NFL. Keep building the program, and a guy who takes you to the playoffs year after year is eventually going to bust through. 

 

Unless it's Aaron Rodgers (sorry I couldn't resist)

 

I can't resist commenting "Huh!  This Aged Well!"

 

For a serious response:

 

It's worth noting that prior to advancing to the Superbowl and winning the big game, Reid fired his long time DC Bob Sutton and hired Steve Spagnuolo, who washed out in his 3 year stint as HC, but who seems to be a helluva DC when given the right tools.

 

So maybe it's not all a Reid learning process

Maybe part of the learning process was being ruthless when a guy just isn't getting it done and move on.

 

Just making the point that it's can't all be laid to improvement in Reid's coaching chops.

I don't think that follows.  I think Cincy was a tougher game than many here thought.

LOL It's true... this certainly didn't age well!

 

When it was 21-3 KC I was like "I'm glad I didn't watch this mess!"

And some people have unrealistic expectations.

 

After this game their remains 1 hc in the entire nfl with more than 1 super bowl (belichick)

 

There are 2 qbs active in the nfl with more than 1 sb win.  Brady and his backup jimmy g.

 

Thats it.  

Chiefs have three generational talents on offense…I think 1 Super Bowl win for them in the past 4 years is a disappointment to that fanbase. I don’t think tyreek hill and Travis Kelce are guys you can just replace when they start to slow down also their cap situation gets trickier moving forward.  This was their year to win it
