McDermott’s defenses have been pretty good against him too. 
 

You simply take away a dimension.  When the QB is one-dimensional to begin with, guess what that leads to?

A loss?🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, does this game improve Allen’s chances for MVP?

Expand  

It won't but it should.  Image giving the award to Jackson after that performance on that stage.  They would look like fools.

Actually think that resting the starters Week 18… but playing first week of the playoffs is the way to go…

 

Bills having to go and fight for the Division Week 18 … getting banged up and guys injured was a major handicap whilst the Chiefs rested up …

Yea I gotta think that game goes differently if we had just one of Bernard/milano.  They absolutely victimized Klein whenever he was on the field

It was bad when NE went to the Super Bowl every other year, but this feels worse because we do have a great QB. Buffalo has to get it together,

We have mostly a great team. Injuries and a couple of coaching blunders have held us back. Todays game just hurts looking at these team knowing almost for a fact we would have beaten both of them if we were healthy. I'm sick of the heartbreak and the "excuses"

[Thrivefourfive]

The Chiefs are so impressive. They beat the Bills in Buffalo, their best opponent, by playing what I believe is their best game of the Mahomes era. Then they don’t skip a beat, get up at Baltimore, and it was never a game.

It's the same as 13 seconds. We should of advanced both times and more than likely would of advanced to the SB then and now if they would of held on.

[Goin Breakdown]

If I were the coach I would bring the team Back with the tune of " foot in the gas" crush every team by 30+. No more gentleman close game football. No more leaving games to come down to a play or two. I know that's just dreaming right!? Who cares though. It's what I'd like to see.  

[Warcodered]

Didn't watch this game, but from the sounds of it, it went about how I was worried it could go. Chiefs offense is limited and the Ravens defense is good and given the scoreboard doesn't sound like that was refuted.

 

The problem was maybe the Ravens defense can contain Mahomes and the Chiefs most of the game. But I also know the Chiefs have a good defense and Lamar can be game planned for, we know this because our team has done it 3 times already to 2-1 record where the one loss was by an incomplete pass in the endzone in 2019 when Allen was still getting better and so was the offense around him.

 

So if the Ravens defense can contain and limit the Chiefs offense and the Chiefs defense can do the same to Lamar then who between Jackson and Mahomes do you think can put their team on their back and finds a way to win and who do you think collapses under the pressure.

So much for the SB logo colors.

I think Taylor Swift threw a monkey wrench in those plans. Plus the NFL knows that a Chiefs-Lions Super Bowl is way more interesting than any other match-up.

They are impressive but the Rave-ins pretty much self destructed with a goal line fumble and red zone INT.  

[DapperCam]

I see a lot of people complaining about the hold/semi-tackle of Flowers, saying that the refs screwed that up.

 

They actually called it correctly in my opinion. The ball was in the air, so it could not have been illegal contact or defensive holding. It wasn’t defensive pass interference, because the ball was uncatchable (it was actually thrown away out of bounds 15-20 yards away from the contact).

 

It didn’t rise to the level of unnecessary roughness either.

It's tough to see Lamar's prime years being wasted away.  It's just too bad Lamar's window has closed

Sometimes you gotta give your opponent some credit … they bring their best in the big games and get the wins…

[bobobonators]

Until Reid retires, the Chiefs will be SB contenders every year. Imo Reid is the biggest reason for the Chiefs’ success. 
 

As we saw this year, without top notch talent, Mahomes is really good but not other-worldly. Reid is a huge difference maker.

It’s coaching AND execution …

 

Like I said … for all the injures, poor D play and other issues… the Bills still had an opportunity to win at the 2 minute mark … on the Chiefs 35 ,,,down 3

I think you have to go back 15 years or something to find an AFC Championship game that didn't involve the Patriots or Chiefs. I hate dynasties. Hate em. It's so boring. The only Dynasty I can get excited about is the Dynasty Buffet over on Franklin Blvd. You just never know what you're going to get over there!

How do the Chiefs always execute. Game in game out. Year in year out. They rarely ever beat themselves.

So I guess resting your players does not help you.
