Bills are the Only Team

I would love to agree, but their offensive yards per play has been tending in the wrong direction for our defense for the last three playoff games against them. Obviously being full strength would be better, but I’m finally starting to not be able to deny the pure differential in coaching talent.

Ehh....missing Bernard killed us because it forced Klein onto the field. Which is right where they attacked most of the game.

 

I think we would have forced at least one more FG and cause an extra punt or two which would have been enough.

 

Hell it was almost enough the way it was.

Watching these other QBs play feels like football with a restrictor plate… Allen has virtually ruined my NFL viewing experience outside of Bills games.

I've noticed this as well, especially since the playoffs started and I've had a chance to watch other teams of playoff caliber.  

Put Allen on the Greatest Show on Turf and that team is probably the first 3-peat SB winner in NFL history.

37 minutes TOP to 23.  Domination, give me a break.

361 yards and 7.7 yards per play, what exactly would you call that?

368 yards for Bills.  27-21 first downs for Bills.  More rushing yards for Bills.  That is not complete domination by KC.  Bills depleted defense was not at its best.  But it shut out KC for most of 4th quarter.

You make your own luck!

   We have now missed 2 Superbowls after Josh crushed it in the Playoffs.

  That’s not luck. That’s a consequence of decisions made off the field…. By the coaches, the management and from here on out the ownership.

In some cases yes, but when you are missing 5 starters on D and down to your 4th/5th stringers it makes it pretty rough. I can't really see what they did working with Bernard in there in place of Klein.

 

We did far better on offense than the Ravens did against them and likely would have beaten Baltimore also with the way we normally shut down Lamar.

Yes you mentioned that already.  You have a case for the defense getting dominated.  Our offense did virtually the same thing to their defense.  Bass makes that kick and somehow the defense hangs on and everyone is saying we dominated them.  Our offense was straight up bullying them most of the game.

The only way the Bills win last week was if we got points every possession. Our defense was never going to slow them down with what we had at LBer and banged up corners. We have to be at our absolute best in order to overcome the Chiefs in the playoff, that hasn’t happened.

It took us almost 80 plays to amass the same yardage total. KC has had the best offensive outputs of the Mahomes era vs us. We have never come close to stopping that offense. Not even a sniff. The Bengals have. Until we can put up even a fight on defense your post is just off base especially given the Bengals fairly dominating history against them and us for that matter.

So if they don't fumble we don't lose by 10+?

Whatever.  Peace.

There's some luck involved in making the SB and as much as I hate to play that card we just haven't been very lucky when it comes to injuries going into the playoffs the last two years.  The list is just insane.  Let's take just two names.  Say Miller and White and have them be completely healthy the last two years.  What a difference it could make.

We are the only team that can hang with a team we never beat in the playoffs. I'm confused.

Apparently hanging with them means getting bounced by them in the playoffs.

that 2 min drive we failed on was as inexcusable as 13 seconds debacle.

If we are gonna roll with McD then I hope to hell we get some playmakers for Josh and stay healthy next year.

Thats because of defense.  Let me know when the Bills keep Mahomes scoreless in the second half.

 

Punt, punt, interception, punt, punt, field goal, interception.

 

That was D, not Burrow.  Not to mention the trio of great playmakers on offense.

Expand  

Chiefs were also scoreless the second half today. Their defense stepped it up big time.

They need to dedicate the draft to high end skill players on offense and let McD figure it out on D. 

 

He is able to do a lot with less, do there is no need to spend high picks on that side of the ball. Allen needs to be surrounded by high end skill players so it makes it impossible to shut everything down.
