Worstcaseontario Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Coaching still set us up to have the lead with 13 seconds left, im still pissed we lost but that was one of the best playoff games in history and it was pretty cool seeing our team apart of that. 2 1 1

Outside of the kick-off it which was also another really bad, we either have players with very low IQ or coaches that are not very good under pressure situations. The Chiefs had 3 time outs so the sideline defending was stupid and allowing complete free releases off the line is one of the worse strategies I have ever seen. There is no excuse for that type of poor decision making at this level and after you called timeouts to discuss it with your players. The Chiefs kicked that FG with only 3 secs left, on both passes to Kelce & Hill , Mahomes wasted no time unloading the pass. Any kind of jam/hold at the line of scrimmage and he needs to wait and those 3 secs are no longer there after the second pass to Kelce. Sure Sean feels bad, he knows he & his assistants gave it to them because of stupid coaching. The biggest victim is Allen who played the game of life and most likely the best game ever by a Bills QB on the road in a playoff game. Allen gets too listen to pundits all week talking about how Mahomes is still the best in the business and Bills fans are now again watching another team celebrate. If Mahomes wins the SB, he's wearing Josh's ring. It's plain and simple. Coaches and D scheme failed the Bills. KC outsmarted our coaches. Not only super quick, accurate passes by Mahomes, but Kelce and Hill dropped and called timeouts immediately as to not let precious seconds tick. 1

This sounds like the kind of thing a person would say who's never actually worked anywhere. His team just played maybe the greatest game in NFL history. If you get fired after that, your boss deserves to lose everything. 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 While I understand everyone’s exhausted from this topic, it does make me wonder what can be done to improve things going forward. You can throw out the baby with the bath water by firing these geniuses but that’s only going to result in undoing all the other good things that have come with the current leadership. So what happens next year when a completely different set of circumstances result in another playoff blunder? I mean it was only a week ago when everyone was circling around the Cowboys late game mistake.
TC in St. Louis Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 There are several plays that could've altered the outcome of the game. The holding call that gave them first and goal. Running Singleton 3 straight times near midfield that put us in punt formation, right after we stopped them inside the 10. The Chiefs inability to cover Davis.

It's amazing we would have gotten that as a home game, but it's hardly a gimme. Then the Rams - another very tough game. We lost a divisional round game, and without doubt, coaching played a big role in that. But the idea that we would just stroll to a Lombardi isn't accurate. I liked our chances, especially the way Josh and the offense was playing, peaking at the right time.
BillMafia716ix Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I just wanted Sean to go up there today and just admit he ***** up. He didn’t do it. Blamed it on execution………smh 1 1 1

The Bills defensive strategy? Did Kelce run free off the line of scrimmage unblemished? Did Hill catch a ball in a prevent like defense for 20 yards? Did you like the kick into the end zone? Do you think the Bills coaching staff blew the game in that second span? Did you think their special teams and defensive scheme was solid? Would love to hear your input. Was it poor execution like the coach said? What's that mean? Imho, any knowledgeable football can only conclude one thing. The Bills coaching gift wrapped a present to the Chiefs. All the Chiefs had to do was open the gift up. 1

Our chances were as good as anyone, and probably a bit better because it looked like JA was on a roll that wouldn't stop. The D would have scared me a little in the SB - especially against the Rams. They can be close to as good as us on offense, and they have a much better D-line. Maybe this all happened for a reason. Our O isn't going anywhere. Get a disruptor or 2 on defense, and we win the whole thing next year.

I don't think any team left could have stopped Allen. His level of play was that good!!!!!! 1

All the Chiefs had to do was open the gift up. People can conclude whatever they want to conclude. That wasn't my point. My point was that it is plain to see what they did. It certainly isn't that hard to figure out that mistakes were made in coaching decisions and player execution. I'm sure they had, what they felt, were good reasons, to do what they did at the time. And, I don't think there is anyone that would disagree that the players and coaches would love nothing more than to replay that entire sequence. McDermott has stated over and over that the failures start with him. He has no obligation to go into any further detail than that. It won't change anything. It won't make anybody feel any better. The only thing I care about is that McDermott, the rest of the coaching staff, and the players learn and grow from the experience. I'm sure they will. 1

Da webster guy Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 People that open a thread and post just to say "there are other threads on this" kill me. Just don't click on it then, nobody is forcing you. Sometimes existing threads get off base, they turn nasty or become a few guys back and forth defending their posts, a new thread on a massively important topic getting restarted a few times isn't going to hurt anything. Now, if someone starts another one Patrick Mahomes brother, THAT'S grounds for murder......
HOUSE Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) We were bamboozled .. Edited January 25, 2022 by HOUSE
billsfan714 Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) The execution line is total BS. That d was a soft zone designed to give up chunks of yardage. Edmunds was 15 yards from the line of scrimmage, the deep safety was 30 yards back. They knew they had 2 timeouts, sideline wasn't a factor. 35 yards and they were in FG range. They got 44. A high school QB could of completed the throw to Kelce, he was high school open, not pro open or even college open but HS open. I told a relative that the only thing that makes sense is that Leslie was having a mini stroke and thought the chiefs needed a TD instead of a FG. He doesn't want to discuss final 13 seconds, the kickoff. man-up and admit what happened, because it was gross incompetence. I've seen plenty of players let the team down over the years, from Harmon, to Norwood, to Stevie to McKelvin. It especially hurts when its the coaching staff not knowing what they are doing. These opportunities don't come around every year. Ask Dan Marino. Dont give me any so and so coach didn't win a superbowl until x year. They most likely didn't because they didn't have the team or the QB to do it. We have the QB, the game was over if properly coached, no if, ands or buts about.
