In the playoffs. But barely. Bills beat them in the regular season and lose close in the playoffs.

 

no one cares about regular season head to head.  Bills have been bounced form the playoffs 3 (2 close games) of the past 4 seasons by Reid and the Chiefs (2 SB wins in that time).

They’re losing in very tight games to possibly the greatest team of all time.

that may play well on that first round of golf in early February.

 

Once or twice is random way close games go.  3 of the last 4 is a clear pattern.  The coaching mismatch has been documented on this site endlessly.

 

No need to pretend it does not exist.

Documented? lol.


Yes Andy Reid and Spags are the best Offensive and defensive combo in the NFL. You’re fighting a losing battle trying to find a better coach.

 

Find better players. Coaching gets us right there to lose close. We need better players, particularly on defense.

The found good enough Defensive players to rank 16,1,2,4 in points allowed and 14,1,6,9 in yards.  Bills had a better D every year but last---which was close.

 

Bills also were a better Offense last year.  Same result.

 

In the post season, the difference, therefore, is coaching.

 

The Bills, as you alluded to, have a 3-1 record regular season Josh vs KC.  You can't cogently argue that the Bills have adequate players and coaching in the regular season, but that they need "better players" in the postseason, in order to get past KC.

 

That would make no sense.

No one on defense steps up to make play in the playoffs like they have in the regular season. From Von Miller, Taron Johnson, to Rousseau. All made plays to close out the Chiefs in the regular season. 
 

One thing about the 13 second game not talked about enough was Kelce making up a route on the final play to set up the FG. Not Andy Reid, Kelce. It would’ve been like Levi Wallace saying I should tighten up here because Kelce has too much space, but no the play says stay here.

 

Someone else needs to step up besides Josh Allen. Ultimately we blame coaching for the 13 second failure but the players still can make a play in that situation and they didn’t. Even going back to the play before where Hill goes 64 yards.

 

These games are close. The Bills can beat KC but it’ll only be when a defensive player comes to play vs KC.

So we agree now it’s not actually the quality of the roster.  It’s a matter of having the same roster prepared  to make close out plays in the playoffs, not just the regular season, which is on the coaching staff. 
 

glad we got that sorted….

No. Blaming a coach is an excuse. Players need to make game winning plays. No one on the defense does.

one or two losses against the same team in the playoffs may fit with you narrative...

We’ve had similar rosters for all 3 losses. The Bills have gotten closer to the Chiefs without major roster turnover. This is the first season they’ve had major roster turnover.
