appoo Posted November 19 Posted November 19 The bills had like a 21% rushing success rate on first down. Say what you want about the coaching, but this was Josh Allen deciding he was gonna be scoring some points no matter what 1 1 Quote
JP51 Posted November 19 Posted November 19 I give them credit for this... and I hate to quote Romo.... but you dont beat the Chiefs by running out the clock on Defense... you have to beat them... the 4th and 2 call as much as I was like I dunno man... was a solid situational coaching call.... 3 options... kick the FG with a kicker who has proven he can miss just about any kick...say 70/30 he makes it) make it and give them the ball with 2:20 2 time outs and they need to score a td to win and you never see the ball again... 60-40 Chief score a td if we make the kick (my guess)... Kick the FG and miss it (30/70 for a miss, my guess) and give the Chiefs the ball on the 35 to kick a FG and win it... at least 80% that happens.... or go for it on 4 and 2 with the best 4th down offense in the league and take the game on our terms... 70/30 we make it... I say go with Josh Allen and our offense over our kicker and defense and Patrick M.... it worked out... 21 hours ago, billsfan89 said: I think McD is realizing that you have to coach to win against KC. Much like when coaches played against Brady you have to play aggressive and leave your fate in your own hands as much as possible. This 2 Quote

JerseyBills Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Absolutely one of the most satisfying wins in the McD era, just beautiful on both sides of the ball and ST, crowd was unbelievable 1 1 Quote

Our defense was controlling the majority of the game not there offense If there's one thing you should learn its that Joe Brady will continue to run the ball whether it's successful or not because it keeps the defense honest And wears them out Edited November 19 by Buffalo716 1 1 Quote
Big Turk Posted November 19 Posted November 19 (edited) Interesting from ChiefsPlanet... They attribute this to copying what Harbaugh and the Chargers did to the Chiefs a few weeks before...have 2 DL on one side crash hard and bull rush forcing Mahomes to bail out of the pocket in the direction they want and then have a spy force immediate pressure on him since he is already on that side of the field he is flushing to... Also some comments about how Oliver completely manhandled Trey Smith all game and saying that they don't even see Chris Jones manhandle anyone the way Oliver did to Smith... https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=356009&page=3 Edited November 19 by Big Turk 2 1 Quote
finn Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Has anyone heard of Spanuolo's reaction to the Allen run? I heard a KC player saying they dialed up the perfect call but Allen beat them anyway, which is what Belichick said a few years ago about defending Allen. 1 Quote
GaryPinC Posted November 19 Posted November 19 20 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Make no mistake about it, that was Allen and Torrence making a play. Spy makes no sense on fourth and 2. Give credit to McDermott for not kicking the FG there. He's learned his lesson. The only thing that stops Reid and Mahomes is Allen having the ball. Like Rex said, Allen has never lost to the Chiefs. People were talking that this game was almost meaningless, McD admitting the Chiefs are too good to kick the late field goal followed by staying aggressive on defense the last drive blows that perception out of the water. Now his players have lived it and that confidence has been created for next time. Let's hope he applies it to all the playoff teams past the first round. Continuous improvement McD, well done. 2 Quote

Bernard spied Mahomes on 3rd and 4 and tackled him for a 7 yard loss. But if it’s 3rd and 2? Sorry, you can only tackle ’em after a 3-yard gain. Quote

Josh retreated back to about the 35 before taking off. Yup, he was playing with himself too. Keep defending that failed play call! That line shift was the key, remember? 716 will explain it (again and again and again). LOL Edited November 19 by WotAGuy Quote

LOL Don't bring me back into this when I understand x's and o's at an extremely high level The bills have ran 150 mesh plays this year and they don't always half slide left... Kromer's blocking scheme and coaching certainly is the reason they did that They just didn't do it out of nowhere Quote

Was it just me or did you get the sense that Allen spent most of the first half reading deep to short and the Chiefs were simply not going to allow it to happen downfield? 1 Quote

Players make plays within a system You go through hundreds of hours in film room and meeting rooms to prepare for situations like this Yes Josh Allen freeballed and made a play... The blocking scheme which kromer is in charge of created an open Lane which Josh can run through How you block up that last play will determine if there is a lane or not... Josh could have put his five lineman in multiple different blocking combinations What he did is trust what he's been coached up to do in that situation like Josh made a play but the line execution was extremely well and that comes from preparation Edited November 19 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

It wasn’t some genius coaching move. The coaches get paid to coach and to succeed. How is that a clinic? Couldn’t a spy have used that same open lane to shoot through and get Allen?

You realize they call that....ugh....what is that again. A blitz? Quote
