How great would that be, for the bills too beat them twice, when no one else could this year. 

F-ing A man!!! That’s what I like to hear!

 

How bittersweet would the monkey off the back be to finally beat them in the playoffs to prevent their chance at a 3-peat. 
 

As much as the Chiefs can be obnoxiously annoying, I love rivalries man.

 

They are Pats2.0  Nice we are actually able to go toe-to-toe with them this era

Typical KC call I loved the roughing call early on, set the tone!

Did any chiefs get injured during this game? I saw Chris jones getting worked on (looked like a calf) at one point but wasn’t able to watch with enough focus to see the ins and outs of the game 

Reed got knocked out.

Justin Reid. Got up though and played the remainder of the game after the required one snap out.

Travis Kelce just burned a gift card to target and punched an old lady at a crosswalk.

But came back in. "Shoulder injury" I'm sure.

Texans had the ball longer, more yards by quite a bit and lost the game. Just couldn’t finish. Chiefs basically rope a dope you

Exactly what I was thinking when I watched the 4th quarter.  

 

[PayDaBill$]

Was Tay Tay there?  🤢

 

What’s the $$  NFL $$ going to do when Trav retires?

One more healthy receiver for Houston might have changed things 

[stlbills13]

The chiefs dominated the 4th quarter as they so often do. Stroud absolutely imploded with a horrible offensive line. The refs made huge game changing calls.

 

We need to be perfect for 3 more games here

Huh?  He was mister water works.  1000000x anything over ever seen from Mahomes 

 

Oh, really?

 

When did Brady freak out ON the field, and then have to be held back on the sidelines, and then cry & cry & cry in his presser about a legit foul that kept one of his players from "greatness?"

 

Sorry - Brady asked refs for calls all the time. But he kept his cool. Mahomes is a crybaby's crybaby.

 

[Playoffs?]

Is DeMeco Ryans trying to say they were playing against the refs too??

The Allen/Mahomes & this era Bills/Chiefs rivalry started with an AFC Championship loss and we haven’t beaten them in the playoffs since. 

As much as the easier option for a chance to get to the dance would be, the fact it’s the Chiefs again is actually better for the Bills and our fans I believe.

Is sucks but serious question- Are you guys surprised?

 

There was no way Houston was winning on the road in arrowhead

Stroud looks like he is reading an airport sign trying to find his gate when he looks at what the defense is giving him. Thats why he was sacked 8 times. I would give him some slack because he obviously strained his knee in the first half but so many of the sacks were just indecision. In the end I think 2 factors decided this. Ryan made some really dumb decisions coaching. Going for the long FG that was missed was a bad idea. Should have punted or went for it. The decision to go for it on 4th and 10 in the 4th with 10min left was also dumb. The field position shift was huge and they didnt really recover after. The 2nd factor was the awful kicker for Houston. Missed a FG and a PAT then gets his FG blocked (maybe I can excuse him for that a bit). Not just a loss of 7 pts but the Chiefs scored an easy 7 on the drive after the missed FG. So the kicker literally caused a 14 point shift in the score.

Recency bias. The Pats aren’t still the worst because they were division rivals.

 

Not for me.  The Bills sucked back then.  I was envious of NE but it seemed like they were playing a different sport.  .

 

Nowadays KC is continually blocking our path.  If Pat Mahomes had decided to be a pro baseball player we’d literally have two rings by now. I really dislike them more.

Logically there was a chance and it was doable. They had every chance to be in contention to walk away with a win. 
 

Football smarts/heart? Yeah, they weren’t winning. Was just a long winded way of trying to convince the alternative of happening.
 

At least for me.

Yes!  Brady never cried like Mahomes.

 

WHAT?!?!?! Brady belly-ached to the refs every time he was touched!

[jcamm1966]

Texans were the darlings in Aug, and could not live up to the hype, they are a cockey team and Nico is a horrible in game coach.
