So they peaked in 2021 and didn't even make it out of the divisional round?

 

Sadly, yes. They badly mismanaged the last 2 mins in Kansas City and it cost them.

The offense peaked. The rest of the team did not.

 

Unless you consider a divisional loss round to the Chiefs the pinnacle of their ambitions. I hope they are higher than that.

The defense played well in that gane until the last 2 minutes too. They just blew that game at the end.

There are so many conclusions being made that are revisionist based on results.

 

Had we won that game, which obviously could have went either way, are the Chiefs the one with the problems considering we've beaten them the last two regular season games and the one previous to that?

That game could not have gone either way imo

 

I just watched the whole thing on Tuesday for some reason. If we play that game 10 times the Chiefs win 8 or 9 of them. Some of the things Allen did to keep the Bills in that game just aren't sustainable, the Chiefs were by far the better squad in all phases except QB

[Andrew Son]

Just keep getting to the tournament. 

 

The ball bounces funny in a single elimination tournament and the better team doesn't always win.

yes lets by all means continue being second best and hoping we get lucky lol

All of the above? Maybe just a bit of luck, the Bills are Super Bowl contenders every year now. 

This. No Brainer.

But it kinda does. The Bills peaked in many ways in that post season. They blew a game they should have won at least twice. It sucks but that's life.

I just can't get there. The defense got pushed around by the Philip Rivers-led Colts, managed to stymie Lamar Jackson and the Ravens thanks to a hurricane, and then turned around and gave the game away to the Chiefs. They were bad and there's really no getting around that. The Bills have been consistently let down in the postseason by the defense and the coaching staff.

What would you say about the Chiefs D in that game?

KC was dynamic on offense but letting the Chief score 33 points is, imo, a defense not playing well.

They were two different post seasons.

They played well UNTIL the last 2 minutes. At the two minute warning the Chiefs had 23 points. The Bills screwed the last 2 minutes of that game. No doubt about that. And it was on defense and coaching.

Oh, 2 minute warning, I was thinking 13 seconds but final 2 minutes in an NFL game is a long long time.
