Prior to today NFL teams were 245-0 when scoring six TDs.  Now that is 245-1.  That is at least a little bit Billsy. 

What?   Chiefs lost 54-51 to Rams

People don’t watch the games I’m convinced 🤣. Playing man and blitzing more would’ve led to the rams dropping like 70 haha 

Coincidentally this is exactly what Detroit does so next weeks  game might be just like today's, hopefully we have the 45 at the end next time.

Did you see the blitzes? Hell, I was begging them to rush 4 and put the rest in coverage for most of the 4th. 

The problem is how terrible the blitzes are.

 

Obvious, you always know who is coming, no stunts or games, no disguise 

 

And they are all up the middle

And we've lost at home the last two playoffs. Why does that matter?

I would rather have the opportunity for 2 at home vs 1 then on the road.

Perhaps you’re right, Hurts, Goff, and Jackson may be ahead of him now, but if KC gets the #1 seed again he’ll be in the running as he has less weapons than last year.

He’s below Barkley too and Josh…nearly impossible for mahomes to get back in the conversation he’s not even remotely close.  All those guys would have to falter.

The one seed is absolutely huge because of the bye

I think it mostly tracks that the qb of the 1 seed team usually is the best player or is close enough that the wins swings the discussion towards them but that is not the case this year at all.

 

None of the sportsbooks are treating it that way at least.  I’d expect mahomes to fall even further behind even if he plays well tonight 

I don't think he will win either, but wouldn't completely shock me if he played well the last 5 games and they get the 1 seed

I was gonna say that sounded like a very made up stat haha. Might be 6tds and no turnovers or something like that

I hope

I hope you didn't just tag this game as "45 seconds" for all time.

I meant 45 points

One of my biggest gripes with the McDermott defensive era is that we never seem to game plan for a team’s biggest weapons/ threats. 
 

We just line up and do our thing, sometimes adjust in small increments here or there, but we are often reticent to go in with a game plan of taking the biggest weapon away. 
 

Contrast that with Belichick’s mantra. 

sometimes i have no idea what they study leading up to a game..

Oh no we lost. What a shame. 
 

 

It would really suck if we weren’t 10-3 and enjoying our fifth straight division title 

If division titles mean everything to to you then ok👍🤦‍♂️

Just watched a post game show on YouTube that was titled “Josh Allen the greatest loser of all time”.

 

Now I get it they use this for clickbait.  But it infuriates me because it’s kinda true.  You could argue Josh has more absolutely historic losses than signature wins.

 

13 Seconds Josh played the greatest quarter of football I’ve ever seen.

 

Do you remember the throws Josh was making prior to the hail Murray?

 

Today he’s the first player since they wore leather helmets to score 6 TDs and he loses.

 

Yes I know he has the no punt playoff game but the guy is a damn superhero and he keeps willing his team to wins that somehow turn to losses.

There are a handful of games in te last 10 years with teams scoring 6 and 7 tds and losing….but that poster gonna die on that hill😀

How about 2 out of 3 this year.  Houston  and LA Rams.   Personally,  I was done with McDummy after 13 second game,  I get it.... he has done great work improving the culture here.  

Seriously he is something like 83 w vs 43 L as a head coach.  Great!  How many of those Wins were due to Josh Allen?  It is my opinion at some point, Josh will tire from loosing close games to incompetent game management. 

How many of Reid’s wins are due to Mahomes?

Not adjusting to limit Nacua and McD's timeout cost the game. The D has to be put in a position to succeed to "step up".

I would not have called the TO.  But let’s be analytical.  Under the best of circumstances we don’t call a sneak (which I think Josh called at the line), we throw three times and hopefully score.  Then the assumption everyone makes is that somehow we use our 3 TOs, stop them on a 3 and out, get the punt and somehow with maybe 20-30 seconds move to where we kick the winning FG.  Can that happen?  Yeah Josh did it with 26 seconds Thanksgiving a couple years ago.

 

Here’s the more likely scenario.  McVay knows he gets one Ist down it’s game over.  He also knows his WRs have shredded to Bills all game.  I don’t think he calls 3 runs, I think he calls pass maybe even on 1st down. And game is over.  It would have required a miracle either way, inside kick or not.  This game was lost because of our D getting dominated.  And the same would have been said about the Rams if we had won.

 

Ih, and to people here who equated McD to a murderous leader of the Third Reich whose name I never use: put that stuff where the sun doesn’t shine.  That is beyond despicable.

I don’t think Goff is capable of having a game even close to what Stafford did today.  The guy was basically flawless.  Put Goff on the rams today and they certainly lose 

So you obviously have not been watching Goff, he is in the mvp discussion also, I don’t think he will win it. They a stretch off of few games early in the season where they were talking about him having more td  than incompletions. Detroit has a better D, better run game and Wr that are on par with the rams, Williams is coming on, he’s no joke. And they have a great TE. Buffalo better come to play, unlike today.

This is true.  
 

Goff is a system guy, and the Lions system can avalanche on you, but Goff isn’t Stafford. 
 

Stafford has Super Bowl/Elite QB DNA..

 

He’s capable of going toe to toe with Allen & Mahomes.   As he showed today.

Teams are imploding against the Chiefs at the end of games.

 

Blocked FGs and fumbles in FG range have nothing to do with Mahomes and the voters know that.  Nobody actually thinks Mahomes is the MVP this year.  Objective Chiefs fans even know he's not.
