GoBills808 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 12 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Chiefs were chucking pass catchers off the line, Kincaid included. The biggest thing he needs to work on this offseason is improving his physicality off the line, either get stronger or find nuanced ways to work through the trash. Once he's won the initial release there is not much to improve in his game but too frequently he is getting knocked down or re-routed. The biggest criticism I have for Brady and the offensive structure is overall lack of crispness. For example there are times where less detailed routes allow conflict defenders to cover both areas. The 2nd play of the game is a good example of this, the one where the safety drove on Diggs on seemingly a skinny post(?) and he couldn't come down with the catch. On that play Allen is clearly reading a high/low between Kincaid and Diggs. But Diggs is slow on his break and doesn't clear into the 2nd window fast enough to give Allen a clean read. Worse, he drifts upfield towards the safety instead of flattening his route into clear grass. And that's just one example of one particular problem I noticed on the all-22. Plenty more where that came from. As I've said a dozen times it is minor details like this that end up being the difference between playoff wins and losses. The Chiefs nail those details time and time again and I have to think superior coaching on both sides of the ball is the only reason why. Couldn't agree more on the route running We just aren't talented enough, in all areas including coaching, to be polished in the postseason It's why this current iteration of the Bills will not be able to win a super Bowl. After that game Sunday I am sure of it Quote

It did seem on that last drive Josh lost some of that patience that was working so well all game. If he just kept taking those checkdowns on that last sequence, they were still there to move the chains. Were those aggressive throws right after he got rolled late while sliding by that DT? He got his head crushed into the turf Quote
FireChans Posted January 23 Posted January 23 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: Alternatively you could say that situational awareness for Brady should have been not leaving Chris Jones 1v1 on a designed shot play. It's weird that nobody even brings this up. Brady called a very good game. But those minor details that win championships are still lacking. Chris Jones was rushing from the outside against our Pro Bowl LT right? Quote

He is lined up right over him. In a moment like that where you know you're calling a shot I think you to need to make sure the one game wrecker on their line is doubled... But I will say all the hemming and hawing over that last series of plays is kind of missing the point IMO. Either we perfectly thread the needle and score a TD with no time remaining, or we score too early and the Chiefs get another chance against our abysmal defense. The game was lost well before that drive. 1 Quote

I know it is a lot to ask considering everything he has to do, but he really needs to know where Jones is lined up on any given play and assume he is going to win his rep. If he assumes Jones will beat Dawkins, then his internal clock would be a little bit quicker there. Quote

I guess, but then you have people criticizing him for rushing his internal clock on the ensuing 3rd down. Overall I'm just unclear on what the plan was at the end there. Were they playing for a TD regardless of the time? Were they playing for a TD only at the very end of regulation? Were they playing conservative for a FG? Nothing about that last series shows any kind of cohesive plan. 1 Quote

90sBills Posted January 23 Posted January 23 2 hours ago, Monty98 said: I mean I don't think you're planning on Chris Jones coming off the edge at the end, he's been the guy in the middle pretty much his career, and you have a well paid OT in Dawkins that you have to trust to stop Jones one on one, Dawkins got bull rushed like he was a sled into Allen's lap. Jones lines up both in and out. They move him around. The game sealing sack on Burrow in the AFCCG last year came from lining up outside. I’m sure Bills coaching staff knows this. Quote
Doc Brown Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Seems to be a common theme with teams that have played Josh a lot (Belichick, Saleh, Spags). Hate to say it but they're usually right if their team can stay close. I still hate the Shakir shot play. Worst call and decision of an otherwise brilliant game by Brady and Josh. 1 1 Quote
DuckyBoys Posted January 23 Posted January 23 D line failed yet again Doesn;t seem to matter how much resources they throw at it they flop in the playoffs Think Beane be better off going full tilt on weapons and line depth for Josh Quote
NewEra Posted January 23 Posted January 23 He stayed patient until the final 2 offensive plays. Sigh Quote

We took 3-5 yards every play all game- then abandoned it when we needed to stick to it. TD leaves Mahomes 1:40 with timeouts. Out d couldn’t stop them all day- not sure that would’ve changed. It most likely would’ve been the worst ending possible. Kelce beating AJ Klein to lose the game 1 Quote

You have no idea if there will be another chance or if a receiver is going to fumble or have a drop that leads to a tipped pass/INT or whatever. As for KC, they couldn't be stopped for most of the game -- except for the two previous possessions. Maybe a tipped ball from Mahomes results in an INT. Their receivers were bad all season. Maybe they fumble. Whatever you do, though, don't turn down the TD opportunity when it's there because it might be the last one you see. Edited January 23 by dave mcbride 1 1 Quote

So we can say that decision may have lost us the game. Quote
