The difference between the Bills and Chiefs isn’t Mahomes/Allen…..it’s MvDermott/Reid with Reid being the superior coach!

The Chefs front four and their defense are the reason they are so good this year.  Spags was given the talent to run one of the better Ds I've seen in recent years.  Reid is a vet coach that knows out tendencies and has enough tools on offense to go after whatever.  He makes it look so easy that I probably don't give him enough credit.

Our Oline got dominated tonight, I really didn’t see that coming

Bills had the ball with a chance to tie or win.  Reid did not out coach McD.   Spags and his game plan beat Brady and Allen.  I thought the Bills were in the drivers seat.  Not exploiting the blitz was something they need to address in the off season.

I just came by to say fire McDermott. He doesn’t have what it takes to make it work.

We lived thru this in 90 -94. An uber talented team, a great QB, but a coach who fails you in the biggest moments. Sorry to call out the elephant in the room, but the facts are undeniable.

Way too much pressure on Josh on that play to expect him to be able to see it and make the throw.  

Fair enough, but no less heartbreaking.

After the drought, I'll admit to being less bummed (long term) about losing in the playoffs.  I'm likening this Mahomes/Allen rivalry to Brady/Manning.  Brady got the better of it early but Peyton got some big wins later in his career.  Build the defense, shore up the receiving room, learn how to feature the running back every now and again... we could dominate.

The Bills have been trying to shore up the DL the last few years and haven’t been able to do it. They drafted Kincaid in the 1st round and Coleman was their first pick (2nd round) this past year and neither one of them are game changers. 

[Danger Mouse]

Cook and Hollins are ballers, btw.

Funny, but I thought before the questionable fourth down mark that Kincaid had the first down to begin with

 

Yeah the refs shaved half yards off on us a few times that should have been first downs. Bottom line is our O had a chance to close and didn't get the job done. I don't even care about the refs. Except for one instance... they called that facemask on Milano. Good call yes. They tore Groots helmet right off though and no call. Can't tell me they didn't see it either. It was out in space.

[fan_in_tx]

Can't believe they didn't even measure the Josh Allen first down..  Just reviewed it and said KC ball.. didn't even spot the ball

Wasn't Allen's best game.  Not that it was a bad game but it wasn't his best either.  Spags does that to people.  It's unfortunate.

Why don’t we bring in an experienced and well-established DC who is not looking for a HC gig and knows more than Babich has forgotten.  I was so happy when Frazier didn’t return and thought good things were in store for our defense, well I was extremely mistaken.

Josh wasn’t great today. Brady needed a little more ingenuity. 
 

say what you will about the defense, they played good enough to win us the game in the second half. 
 

That Kinkaid drop though will be infamous. They should trade him. Huge disappointment 

Allen could have been a little better, but how many perfect throws down the field into tight windows did he have to make. Did Mahomes even make one? We need better scheming guys open, or better separation from skill guys (same story all year).

If Cook had been in the game on that drive, the Bills are winning

[The All-Pro-Knox Gallery]

Defense really didn’t show up at all, KC moved the ball with no issues all game. Allen played well but was not focused enough to be a difference maker. Benford injury allowing Elam to even step on the field was brutal. Kincaid has been insanely underwhelming. Where was Von?!?! 
 

I’m ready for a change to the defense. We have Allen (part of the formula to win a SB), but we need a defense that can bring pressure and disrupt an oline. It’s the only way we will ever win against mahomes in the playoffs. KC has an intimidating, stout defense and ours play like a bunch of pansies. Pathetic to watch when McD has had control of the defense for 8-9 years and still they get walked over.

[BillMafia716ix]

Mahomes made all the winning plays tonight and Josh didn’t. I’m sick to my stomach about it too but that’s what happened

[BillsFan130]

It's McDermotts defence, but Babich also sucks as a DC. Andy was a step ahead of him all night.

 

Even the last 3rd and 9 which iced the game.

He knew Babich was gonna call man. He calls the perfect man beater, and it's curtains

You can't believe that that ball is catchable...

 

Are you actually serious? It hit him in the hands.

Josh Allen plays his butt off. McD gets bent over by Reid. Refs have a clear bias in favor of KC. Yup, this was just about the most predictable outcome possible.

Yup. The league isn’t rigged. I just think the refs do have a bias in favor of the chiefs. 
 

That bias cannot be quantified because there are so many penalties that should be called on the chiefs and aren’t. 

[JBI$111]

This is another learning experience I'm sure per McDummy, we will learn from this ...🙄 apparently he still hasn't learned anything & figured it out after 8 years in big games.

 

Sick of KC and if I have to see Taylor Swift one more time jump up and down as they Pan the camera to her every single play with the phoniness, I'll puke!

 

Enough, Buffalo deserves better!!!
