Im expecting to read the headlines tomorrow stating “Mahomes and the offense sputter early, but do just enough in the 2nd half to further sink Bills playoff dreams”

If that's how it plays out, no Bills fan, anywhere, will be surprised.

Good point nate- Mahomes’ lack of scrambling is the difference in the game imo.

sucks they didnt hit on one play underneath to get a real fg attempt   On flipside up 14-7 and get ball first

Can you please spice this post up about 90%.  This is the GDT, reasonable takes are not what we need now... 🤣

It was looking good for a while but after that Allen interception the momentum has completely swung. Feels like another 4th quarter McD choke incoming.

Yea seen this too many times , confidence level is at a 2.3 and falling

If you think Sean isn't a continual problem, then no, you're not.

 

No I think he wasn't a problem on that drive. I am all for blaming him for things that are his fault.

Isn't Bass's strong point his power? We gave him a nice check and he is at an abysmal 78% accuracy. Let him kick that. How can a hail mary be a higher percentage chance?

they had a free full minute there to game plan 26 seconds- so 2-or 3 plays.

They totally failed. Ignoring the lack of points, they had no plan and that’s a big deal in big moments,

 

They're just so bad in these high pressure situations...

If your confidence level is so low in him that you don’t even want to try him at the end of the half from 62 out … he is not your man 

 

This year he isn't.  I dont know why but something has been wrong with him all season.  I been saying it almost every week.

We had a clear first down. How did we lose 10 secs and how can chief challenge under two minutes 

Because the clock was running when the official booth challenge occurred, there’s an auto ten second run off. That’s the rule.
 

And that’s was I was yelling at them to spike it immediately upon seeing the bad spot in our favor by the official.

The Bills couldn’t stop KC when it was 1st and 25.

 

The Bills couldn’t score with 1:19 to go in the half.

 

They seem so damned unprepared in those situations.

I think they expected to get a lot more on the 3rd down QB draw and got caught unprepared in that gray area of whether you can run another play.

You let Bass take a shot there.  Period.  Another classic example of ***** coaching by McDummy.  His game management skills are among the worst in the league.  So nice to have a coach who buries key skill players in his dog house and tearing them down mentally, instead of working to restore their confidence.

You know they chart the stuff in warmups and know his max each way, right?  That’s how CBS places that red line on the screen.  He could not make that kick.   We knew it and they knew it.  No reason to risk a low trajectory shot in the dark that easily could have been blocked.

Nervousness and anxiety.

Second timeout absolutely preserved time for the offense 

which we squandered.  the same McD sh*t over and over again

[BufBills83]

Before the game, if you said the Bills would be up 14-7 at half and get the ball to start the 2nd, everyone would say they would take that all day.

[Process]

I'm really surprised we haven't been able to take advantage of their beat up secondary. Love lit them up last week. 

 

Where are our WRs?

we dont convert hail mary just give them up

Yep.  I’m furious at his decision to go for the TD as opposed to giving Bass a chance

Interceptions by Josh helping the other team is becoming a classic script. 

There’s no massaging it anymore. Bills were in total control until Josh joshed. Hopefully he can avoid the crusher turnover in the second half.

I can almost guarantee they didn't let Bass attempt that kick because mcdope is worried about it getting blocked and returned for a TD. Fear wins again.

 

Or they (and probably he) just think they can't make it. Not sure you need to overcomplicate it...
