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

Using this tread to get it all out, so tomorrow is a good day. 
 

I can’t let go of my belief that the offense blew this. McDermott is a doofus and the defense sucks, but damn the offense had the game in their hands more often than they even deserved.

The bills will never win a Super Bowl. This was the year (well obviously not). Next year our qb only gets older. He’s gonna be 29 next year. It’s over in my opinion

scored 29 which is the second most Chiefs gave up if you don't count the Broncos game

 

allowed 32 which is the most Chiefs have scored this entire season

 

defense sold. as usual.

I kind of agree. We're just not gonna get there.

Other than the throwaway game in week 18, the Chiefs have not let an opposing team score more than 27 all season except on two occasions. 30 against the Bills at OP and 29 tonight. The offense has misuses, and the ruddy run to the left sneak should forever be questioned through the annals of time, but the Chiefs defense is elite. It will be interesting to see how many points the Eagles put up on them on a neutral field in two weeks time.

Okay, I lied. I do see the argument. 32 points seems to be the only answer. 
 

Im saying the defense sucks, and of course they give up 32. I was kind expecting that, then I saw the weather. Bills should’ve scored 41!!!! 
 

But I see it. I just don’t know how to look to big JA17 and the offense—heart and soul—and watch them squander almost EVERYTHING, from snaps, to procedural, to not getting the team a foot. Again and again and again. I’m sensitive to being made to look like a fool in public, and the offense looked like a fool in public.

Chiefs defense is legit, 41 is a crazy ask

Just like last year The Bills will be the ones who score the most points against the chiefs.  They will beat philly in a tough slugfest in the superbowl and we will all be sitting her wondering what it takes to make that final play.

This is my wife’s first heartbreak.. took her to our first home game vs the Jets. She’s asking me how I’m even handling this so well.

 

I said, “the feeling you have right now, I have it too. It fills me, so I’m comfortable in it. Not afraid.”

If you're sensitive to being made to look like a fool in public I would stop posting for a bit.

Did anybody give Kincaid the Heimlich yet?  
 

 

 

Good, don’t… anybody not named Josh Allen shrivels up like George Costanza whenever it’s time to step up in the biggest moments.  
 

But knowing this fanbase Bills Mafia probably already donating to his favorite charity… They should just be sending him tracheotomy kits.

Agree. But it was happening. A lead could’ve happened. Gotta get a foot. I don’t care the refs. I’m so disappointed

Probably deserve that! Just think tonight was more on the defense than offense (though the offense shouldn't be completely absolved of blame).

Maybe it's just my mindset maturing, but I can't feel too mad anymore.

 

I keep thinking "if I feel this sad, imagine how the players & coaches feel." You can hear it in Allen's voice. You know McDermott is hurting. These guys are the ultimate competitors, and they really love this city. Dawkins has said it so many times, but they truly play for Buffalo.

 

I used to disregard that & say "who cares? They get paid millions of dollars to play a game!" but this sport, this game, this opponent, mean SO much to these guys. They busted their asses all week & all year for this shot, but once again fell short. It's heartbreaking for all of us, but now that I've had some time to clear my head, I don't want to pile on.

 

Whatever needs to get done in the off-season can hopefully get done. But I want the Bills players & coaches to know I genuinely appreciate their efforts this year.

Bills put up the best performance on offense against the Chiefs in Arrowhead in 2 seasons. If the offense didn’t play well the entire game, then they wouldn’t have even been in that position at the end.

Get a defensive end that doesn’t lose contain and let Mahomes run for a first down 5 times like it’s Groundhog Day.

Kelce.

Not just that.

They were saving Kelce's...he needs 2 to tie and 3 to break Rice's playoffs TD record 23. He has 20.

So it should at least be a guarantee he gets 1 TD in SB.

Does he have a 3TD game for the ages?

[Koufax]

Not sure if I missed it in the previous pages, but I think Kincaid getting the 1st down on the screen was more obvious than Allen getting it on the sneak. Shakir didn't get a good block or it would have been bigger gain, but I was surprised that play wasn't looked at.
