Its Pretty Obvious why the Chiefs win every year

[Sestak4ever]

Just wait during this off season when KC adds top end wide receivers for Mahomes. There is a good chance they will get even better. I will agree with the poster who mentioned that KC’s offensive line gets away with a ton of egregious holding (arms wrapped around necks, upper body tackles, etc.). Not saying that won them the game, but sure buys Mahomes time.

As much as I'm glad Josh is our guy, there's a little piece of me that feels like I'm having salt poured into a wound, knowing the Bills were the ones who provided the pick to the Chiefs that got them Mahomes. He has 3 Lombardi's and is young enough that it's not a stretch to think he'll continue to be a thorn in the Bills' side for many more years on the way to claiming more chrome hardware. 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Coach/QB/DC that is the heart of the matter.

[BillsfaninCT]

the reason they won this year is not the same as other years, they won because that was the best decision for the NFL business, 49ers just stop running the ball and again, a decision comes down from another head coach that puts the team in a lower percentage win position,  we're all so surprised that the largest revenue option coincidentally happened, how amazing.  beat the bills and the ravens on road, down by 10 at the half and the amazing chiefs all by themselves won the game.

lmao.

it was entertaining though for 1/2 a game.

should screen shot my text chats as my bills fans friends and I just laugh about the entire situation saying the same thing, oh look they actually had to call the horse collar because you could see it from the moon but the holding, nah...

 

25 people around me all fans of different teams, all saying the same thing, "NFL got what they wanted and there were some stupid decisions by the 49ers, business decisions were made LMAO"  each independently asking for the script for 2024 and equally saying we'll watch anyways cause were addicts.

 

well except my boss who is a 49ers fan and refuses to think and NDA for players and coaches is coincidence, gambling has no impact and neither did taylor... fair enough, to each their own.

When the game was on the line in OT, Mahomes drove his team down the field for the SB winning TD.  That is clutch.

 

I love Josh as our QB but he had the chance to win that game against the chiefs by keeping the ball till the end; instead he went for Hero ball and misfired.  That is the difference between the two...it is marginal..but that is what wins the SB

If we don't misfire on that lsat drive and forcing to kick a 44 yard FG (with a shaky kicker) then we are moving to the AFCC....But we failed. that is the difference between the two teams.

The game was only close enough for a throw late to win it because the offense was near flawless…that was an absolute masterclass of offense lol the list of teams that have  dominated a spags defense like that is very short 
 

if we didn’t have a practice squad level lb for the chiefs to pick on there’s no shot we lose that game

There is a difference between regular season and playoff football. Something the Bills are 0-3 against the Chiefs in. If it’s 50/50 the Bills would have won one of them 

There really isn’t that big of a difference between two top teams battling for seeding in the regular season and a playoff game.  The 1 seed is insanely important with the 2 seed no longer getting a bye that those are all getting treated as playoff games. 
 

if we were losing by 2-3 scores in the playoffs and winning in the regular season I’d see where you were coming from a little more but the last two playoff games and regular season game absolutely could’ve gone either way.  A 3 game sample size is just way too small to make inferences on especially when 2 of those games were ridiculously close 

 

If there is a team that potentially has our number I think it’s the bengals not the chiefs

The Hunt family is the most charitable to the NFL

So I guess the fire McDermott crowd also wants to fire Harbaugh and Shanahan. They are good team and tough to beat.

The Chiefs have the best QB/HC combo in the league by a mile.

Speaking of coaching, I haven't seen anyone talking about SF coaching at the end of the first half. Chiefs were in the red zone and winding the clock down. Why didn't SF use their time outs ? They could have gotten the ball back with approximately a minute and a half left. In stead they got the K.O. with 3 seconds left. If our coach did that, we all would be bashing him here on TBD.

[FilthyBeast]

Again, this stuff isn't rocket science when you have the best HC/QB combination in the NFL.

 

Chiefs have been stupid lucky with the injury situation as well and even when a rare injury to a key players happens it's not usually a long term situation and another guy steps up.

 

But to the original point of this thread, Brett Veach is the best GM in the NFL/all professional sports because he keeps drafting superstars vs. serviceable NFL starters and role players like the Bills and so many other teams. And yes he'll easily replace guys like Chris Jones and Kelce when the time comes, probably with even better players because that's how things seem to keep playing out in KC year after year.

Do you think what SF has at HC is acceptable? 

 

Not in the SB. 

 

But...McD hasn't done that yet. 

 

I keep saying it. But I wouldn't be stunned if your Bills HC in 2025 is....

Where did the Bills play not to lose in the divisional round? 

 

Putting AJ Klein on the field over Dorian Williams. Unfortunately that decision sunk our chances of winning the game. McDermott chose the safe comfortable option and we proceeded to get whipped up and down the field because of it.

If the chiefs are so much more talented across the board with players and coaching, then why do we beat them or only lose to them by 1 score every single time?

 

Because Allen has outplayed Mahomes in every head to head matchup since 2021. The QB is important enough to overcome every other disadvantage. If Mahomes had outplayed Allen one of those times it would have been a blowout loss.

If Bill wants to continue coaching, then I could see the Cowboys going after him. Jones is letting McCarthy coach on the final year of his deal. If they don't reach Super Bowl next year, then I could see him getting fired. Jones wasn't happy at all with the playoff loss to GB as they weren't even competitive. Bill at 72 or 73 probably isn't interested in a rebuild. Dallas has a lot of talent. Bill could win there very quickly.

That is coaching not to lose?  I was expecting kicking a FG or punt when they should go for it (of course you don't have that because he went for it everytime it was close) or just running the ball to burn clock.  Did you see the interview of McD after halftime?  What was your message to the team:  McDermott:  "Go for it".  You like Dorian Williams over Klein, I say both are terrible options.  Just because Williams is more athletic does not make him better.  He was routinely abused when he played this year.  The opposing offenses just manipulated him with scheme, it was broken down by Joe Marino a couple times.

Of course. Klein clearly could not play the position but McDermott went with the known option. He was afraid the rookie would be too inexperienced. By coaching not to lose, he lost. That's what happens.

 

Perhaps Williams would have been a disaster, although late in the game when he was finally on the field he made a couple plays that forced the Chiefs to punt for the first time. But putting Klein on the field gave us a 0% chance to make defensive stops. Williams gave us a chance.

If they lose Chris jones they’d still be behind where they were at this season even if they get some better wrs.  May not happen but I guess we’ll see.  Either way they’re gonna have to back up the brinks truck for him if he stays lol 
 

kc definitely leans into the playoff officiating…i think they let a ton go both ways but letting both olines hold was a pretty big benefit to kc who looked hapless when sf was getting a ton of pressure with 4 in the first half.  They’re real grabby in the secondary too.  Hard to hate on them for taking advantage though as I wouldn’t say the game was unfairly officiated by any means

Kelce was slowed down when the Bills finally put Sirran Neal on him after 3 quarters of Klein getting burned.  Not Klein's fault really either.

People are really underselling how well Josh has played against the chiefs lol especially considering how good their defense was this season.  

if the offense wasn’t near perfect we would’ve probably lost that game by 20+…the top disparity was huge.  Klein was just too big of a liability to cover up and the chiefs victimized him.  I don’t think any of the playoff teams would’ve won any of their games with Klein playing a meaningful role on their defense for 60 minutes. 
 

I understand the ‘injuries are no excuse’ people up to a point but the ghost of aj klein starting at linebacker against one of the best qbs of all time is a huge uphill battle lol kind of crazy we almost pulled that out…Brady had spags’ number pretty much all night

Our defensive gameplan was abysmal until it was too late. And this isn't hindsight. I said before the game put Neal on Kelce, and give Williams the nod over Klein unless he looks like a disaster out there. This finally happened on the one drive we forced a punt. I have no idea what McDermott was thinking before that.

 

Eventually our defense simply has to show up against a good opponent in the playoffs. No team is winning shootouts all the way to a Super Bowl victory.

I remember a couple of years ago when the Bills were traditionally pretty healthy. These past two seasons have been brutal.

We actually had really good depth this year which is the frustrating part…our LBers got ravaged though…no Milano,no Bernard,no rapp who could function in an lb type role and Dodson playing noticeably injured.  If those injuries were a little more spread out to other position groups we would’ve been a lot better off

 

swap Bolton for aj klein and I don’t think the chiefs make it out of the first round…
