Joe Brady and Aaron Kromer had a rough night

[Einstein]

29 points be damned.

 

- How many times did he watch KC stuff our QB sneak and then he continued to do it!?!? Over and over and over. KC is coached extremely well and knew exactly how to stop it. They blockaded that right side that Josh likes to go to it and he still went to it repeatedly.

 

- Know that play-action roll out play that KC loves where Mahomes can either throw it to the RB or keep it? Yeah, we ran that twice all game. Both times picked up big yards. Never saw it again.

 

- He and Kromer never adjusted the line (or the play-calling) to deal with the pass rush. The final 4th down call was a pick play with crossers that REQUIRES 2-3 seconds to get guys open. Spags knew this and sent the house. Brady apparently didn’t know this!?

 

- Cook didn’t touch the ball once that last drive. And it wasn’t a time issue (we had a full 3 minutes).

 

- A low percentage fade to Coleman on 3rd down with the game on the line?

 

Flame away, but I miss Daboll. I always felt confident with Daboll that we were going to drive the field at the end of games. The only concern I had was the defense. Daboll adjusted mid-game.

Kincaid dropped the ball. Regardless of the playcall, players have to make plays in those situations and he pulled a Mark Andrews.

Incorrect. Shakir ran a bubble/orbit on the left side and had 15 yards of green grass ahead of him. 
 

Torrence whiffed on his block and there were TWO free rushers in Josh’s face.

Honestly, I said it in the game thread, but it was a complete mistake not taking the game to the two-minute warning. All's they had to do was hand the ball off to Cook on first down. No, instead we throw an incomplete pass over the middle. That needed to be the final drive of the game, we didn't play like it. 

[May Day 10]

I agree with everything other than the daboll part.  He had run his course here.  They had some putrid outings that last year

Not quite a Mark Andrews. It was a weird floater of a pass from Allen, not a play/ball delivered exactly as it was drawn up. Still, he should've snagged it, but hardly a routine catch.

He did last week as well on the first drive of the second half.

 

You know who has had some big games and huge catches against the Chiefs? Dawson Knox has.

 

But we need to force that bust Kincaid into the lineup.

[PayDaBill$]

I despised the game plan, especially the first half.  Cook was completely underutilized. I don’t know wtf we were doing. It was a winnable game.   In fact I was underwhelmed with the last two games.  Was Brady preoccupied with career goals and interview preparation?🫣

Cook was the best player on the field and needed to be involved there.  Absolutely.

[Your Brown Eye]

I think we should do another failed tush push to the left. and then another one. and then another one. The announcers are stating that the Chiefs know the Bills like to tush push to the left and stacked all their best d linemen right there and we still just f-ing blindly run it to the left. 

[NoSaint]

It’s both Xs and Os and the jimmys and joes… 

 

something needed to change on short yardage 

 

cook needed more touches in big moments 

 

dalton failed us 

 

we don’t have any outside threats and in the end everyone eats is fun and games until the defense takes our lunch when we need to make a play 

[Don Otreply]

They sure did, 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Edwards in particular in pass pro seemed to be getting walked back far too often into Allen’s lap. It made it extra challenging for out tackles. 
 

Not a good outing for the big fellas up front in pass pro imo

Not sure I agree on the Daboll part, but yeah Brady and Kromer weren't ready for anything KC did for the most part.  4 plays couldn't gain one yard!

 

Was the fade to Coleman on the coaches or was that just Josh being Josh again?

Huh? You and I are both right, we are just describing different parts of the play. 

 

Shakir’s orbit was the 3rd or 4th read on the play. It was the built in check down.

 

The play was for the crossers on the pick. We have run it numerous times this year on 4th downs.

Agree wasn't a simple routine catch, had to come back for it and those are often tough of momentum going other way

The built in checkdown is where the ball is supposed to go if they send the house, which they did.

 

Josh needed 1 extra second and had zero, namely because of Torrence.

Yes, that was one bad play. Kincaid is a complete disappointment.

 

But Brady had repeated mistakes the whole game.

 

Theyre both true.

Problem there was that Spags had the huevos to bring the big corner blitz. And of course we never thought he'd do something like that. Fortune favors the bold ...

He's young, hopefully he learns from these moments and doesn't make the same mistakes again.
