There was zero chance on this play. Less than zero

 

It's amazing he even got anything off...and it actually hit a guy in both hands

100%

I believe our lack of WR talent showed tonight. Chiefs attacked. So did the Ravens. There was no fear.

 

Not much Brady and Kromer could’ve done. Have to win the matchups. A lot of single coverage.

Joe Brady can’t get 6 inches with Josh ***** Allen. That’s how ***** bad he is. ***** me…

[Einstein]

Brady tends to go to the same well over and over again.

 

And I don’t just mean the QB sneak.

That 4th down play call is a variation of the same play we have ran on 4th down all freaking year.

 

Chiefs knew it was coming.

 

It was the same freaking play we ran on 4th down against them in the first matchup, just flipped.

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.

 

 

Josh Allen had a rough night when it mattered most. 
 

And the Chiefs’ D line had a great night when it mattered most. 
 

Sh*t happens.

This is a typical loss in that when the coords made the right call it wasn’t executed AND when they made a bad one the players did just enough to keep going. We needed more from both tonight.

[BillsFan130]

It was too conservative and predicable again . (Mostly predictable)

I said that last week but got roasted for it

He is an amazing defensive coordinator.

 

The Chiefs knew so many of our plays, inside and out, that many of them had zero chance from the get-go. Especially in the first half.

 

Because Brady puts a lot of the same stuff on tape week after week. Having Josh Allen do superhuman things with his arm and legs makes you not realize it.

No cook was criminal. He’s a threat that changes d.

Outside of the first drive of the game, Josh Allen was great. No idea what you mean.

That 4th down TD was an amazing throw inbetween defenders. The TD to Hollins was on a rope. The deep pass to Hollins to set up the next TD was incredible. etc

[Jimmy Harris 69]

Brady came up small tonight. The chiefs stack the line, you would think one time he would take advantage and run it wide, pitch it wide, Jet sweep wide. Nothing. They refused to roll Josh out, which would have led to success on one of the two point conversions and the 4th down conversions.

there are a few people in this thread, making the case that we were simply out executed. and while there is definitely some truth to that, it’s completely ignoring the fact that as coaches, your job is to make decisions based on who your players are and what you know is likely to happen if the other team does X, Y or Z.

 

Number one, Brady called the same old tired fourth down play he has gone to all year. Spags knew exactly what was coming.

 

Second, Spags loves to bring pressure on Key downs. That is what he is known for. With that being the case, you need a quick beater. A play requiring picks and crossers take too much time. Spags knew this. He completely outcoached Brady on that fourth down.

 

so yes, wow players still need to execute, the coaches failed in putting them into a position where they can execute given their limitations

He did great things. 
 

But he crumbled when it mattered most.

Dude I agree, everyone keeps writing in depth analysis about this game, but it’s the only thing I can think about as well. If he could have managed that, we probably win.

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. 

I was screaming for a fake handoff and an Allen bootleg there. Instead we go with the play that the Chiefs have been stuffing left and right. Brady's lack of creativity and his 1940's style offense where we have 5 plays and dare the defense to stop us backfired on us.

Yes that was Brady's fatal flaw all season IMO. He just wasnt creative when he needed to be. People used to criticize Dabol for his gadget plays but Brady had none. Not even plays with the slightest misdirection.  Yes players need to execute but Brady had a ton of talent to work with here and didnt utilize it.

When did it matter most? You mean the 4th down when he had 2 free rushers coming at him and he still hit Kincaid in the hands??

[sven233]

The offensive line picked a lousy day to have their worst game of the season.

 

Going into this game, that was one unit that never crossed my mind as being a primary reason we would lose this game.  The group as a whole had their worst game of the year, but man.....Brown really let me down tonight.  He was brutal out there.

No. That’s not what I meant. 
 

But you’re Einstein.  So you knew that.

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

I feel like we say this every year and the coaches never learn

Agreed.  Too many 4th downs will drain the players as they have to exert significantly on that play.... We also wasted the 2 pt conversion attempts...At the end the game was won by 3 points.
