Win was great BUT…

[balln]

We need to have options at WR

 

Diggs wr 1 - 11 targets . 4 rec for 24 yards. 
 

Gabe wr 2 - 2 targets. 0 for 0

 

that. Issss. Shocking to me

[Aussie Joe]

I’m  just gunna enjoy winning a tight game like that for once … at least for 24 hours …

 

Yeah .. there are problems … but they are still alive  another couple of weeks …

Diggs is arguably not a #1 the last half of the season. His brother can tweet about it. Not making even somewhat contested catches. Not able to beat teams #1. He needs to get his head out of his a$$. @HappyDays called it out a few weeks ago and it was more of the same today. When you minus him out as a true #1 we clearly have some serious issues at WR. Lets draft a defensive end. 

[Steptide]

You could look at it one of two ways - they won without Diggs or Davis being involved, OR, they barely won because Diggs and Davis were hardly involved 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I would love to see the kind of contact they let go in this game. You can’t play tight man coverage for the entire game and only get 1 illegal contact penalty.

Diggs hasn't been good in 7 weeks now.  Davis has never been a #2 and is going the exact wrong direction.  At this point I think Diggs is more of a number 2 and the Bills desperately need an alpha at wideout 1.

[Tim Tindale]

That was playoff football. Just survive and win ugly. Next game up, put this one on the shelf

to be 100% fair I thought Sneed played lights out against him. It's not an excuse for Stefon today but I consider it a reason to at least give some credit to KC. Im sure he is happy with the win but NOT his performance in it.

Since Joe Brady is OC, the offense looks great, is creative... and the WRs are not involved much. This game both teams did it. So I wouldn't worry. It's the first time Diggs seemed mentally out though. The other games he was all in.

[Goin Breakdown]

Josh not seeing gabe wide open is concerning. Him and Gabe don't  seem to be on the same page anymore. Gabe looked pissed.

I think they are playing better though- much fewer penalties today, only one TO, ST did better and Josh is playing smarter

Is this an Andy Isabella thread?

[John from Riverside]

I didn’t want this to turn into a shootout and it didn’t
 

Every game is a new game. I’m gonna enjoy this one.

Neither Mahomes nor Josh had enough time unpressured to reach deeper recievers.

The D played better …no argument there … Cook played great ..particular in the first half …

Josh had time in the 1st half. None after.

Chiefs have a solid defense and they are one of the best at making adjustments at half.

 

Bills are very flawed but there aren't too many really good teams this year. Probably 49ers, Ravens, and Dallas.

 

Bills are part of that bunch of 10 teams that can go either way as far as putting it together or flaming completely out.

 

My only major complaint was not running the ball up 14-0 and just about to enter Chiefs terrority. There was about 4 minutes to half and tiring out the Chiefs defense with running plays and getting up 17 or 21-0 would have changed the directory of the whole game.

 

Poor play call by Brady and bad decision by Allen to throw to Sherfield (he sucks). That was a 10-14 point swing.

 

Other than that...good game for Bills to work with for next week.

Davis has played like garage.  No surprise.

1. KC was playing AFC Championship Game defense again meaning they held and illegal contacted Bills WR's all game and got no calls against them for it.
2. Allen was under duress far too often the 2nd half of the game even with 3 man pressures at times, which meant nobody was open downfield with 8 in coverage
3. Davis was WIDE open for a TD late in the game on the drive they kicked the winning FG but again, Allen was under duress and didn't see him, instead throwing high to Kincaid along the sideline incomplete. Easily could have been a wide open TD.

Diggs had a couple of drops on quick swing passes that were uncharacteristic.  Concerning for sure however they still grinded out the win.  Hopefully showing they can win other ways will open diggs up.
