1/26/25 GAMEDAY AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Bills @ Chiefs Post Game Thread

I know it's a popular drum to bang on here, but that should be it for McDermott, that's not hyperbolic. He will not win a championship, flat out

[Sojourner]

So Josh is 4-0 against KC & Mahomes in the regular season. 
 

Now 0-4 in the post-season. 
 

Who’s in favor of throwing the regular season netting against them this upcoming season?!?

This season made it clear (again) that we need a real edge rusher (to close out on pass rushing downs—example on 3rd down, a 1 technique DT to free up Ed and plug up the gut to contain the run, a number 1 WR who can separate and a starter quality CB.  
 

Think we can address these needs in the draft (love having a 1st and 2 2nds but I’d really love to get into the 3rd round using our draft capital so whichever of those position players we don’t get with those picks we can still get a “solid” player at the other position.  Think we don’t have enough $$ to make a splash in FA while we have important extension decisions with key players.

It would feel so different if we got blown out every time... 

[<bills4life>]

Most points kc scored all season. Only scored 30 points twice.  So much for McDermotts brilliance as a defensive minded coach.

i wish we played more Dorian.  Milano made few plays in run stop but he was bad in coverage and could not contain Mahomes whole game.

You could see on the replays the tip of the ball crossed the line. Just barely but it doesn't have to be the whole football. It was a lousy call and probably doomed the Bills.

[Roundybout]

It’s an absolute miracle we held KC to 32, considering we are de facto only starting 2 defensive backs

Out coached again. Fire McD and let’s move on! This is going nowhere. 

 

Ain't about coaching this time, it's about players making plays when they have the chance.

 

Allen throws a bad ball to Samuel that could have been a TD or at least a huge gain for 30+ and we ended up having to punt...

 

Kincaid drops a great throw under heavy pressure on 4th down to seal the L.

 

Have to make those plays if you want to be at KC.

 

And the refs overturning a spot that appeared to be a first down on 4th down and then upholding it when replay showed he reached the line with the front of the ball was icing on the cake.

Up 22-21 with the ball is where the game was lost.  You don't keep going for the conservative running the ball and tush push plays.

 

You cut Josh loose.  

 

Kansas City's experience in the big big games and better coaching proved the difference.  

KC never would have done that in that situation…they would trust their franchise QB to find an open receiver

Poor Dalton Kincaid - he will now be equated with Ronnie Harmon.

 

Well, it was a great season. My next two weeks will now be much more productive. 

Honestly, he should’ve been on the bench by week 5 so I chalk that up to bad coaching. He hasn’t been able to catch anything all season and still started each week. Obviously a bust pick by Beane but you gotta get your bad players off the field.

Hit him in the hands

Cute to see Dion and Jones having a laugh. Pathetic loser mentality. 

But Lamar does it last week and he's a good sport and admired. Players should  fall to their knees and cry.

Tom Brady is the only one who could beat KC in the Super Bowl. I honestly don't see how KC doesn't win this one and the next 2 or 3.

Only if Swift and Kelce stop dating or Kelce retires.

4-1, loss in 2020.

[VW82]

Elam and Kincaid were the difference, sadly.

[billsbackto81]

Wasn't a fan of Brady's play calling in the forth. Too many missed opportunities and predictable 4th and 1 situations. KC obviously prepared for the snow plow and kept trying. Josh is still amazing and Kincaid is this years goat.

Honestly man this wasn’t even the worst spot of the game. 
 

They shut down this play all game and we never tried to mix it up. No play action, misdirection, nothing. 
 

I hate going down. I really hate that we didn’t even take a swing and a miss.

What? It literally went right through his hands.

Im not sure if you're being sarcastic or not?

Above view definitely looked like it crossed and the ref with the best view ran in spotting it a first…absolute screwjob 

 

if the first linesmen ran in short it would’ve looked a little more legit
