Joe Bradys offense cost the Bills the game. 

I think specifically, Joe Brady not figuring out the short yardage game.  I think the rest of it was fine.  KC clearly figured out the their short yardage play from the jump of that game.   Buffalo seemed so sure it was their own auto yard getter they had no adjustment in the back pocket. 

almost feel like playcallers should just have the national broadcast running.  Romo from the jump was like yep, KC figured that out on film and made adjustment. 

all that being said, I think the refs still tilted the final result to the KC more so than Brady costing them the game if I had to pick between the 2.

This was also the case for the vast majority of Brady's time with the Pats. When you're the face of the league, the calls go your way, no paying of refs required.

maybe its just an in the moment thing or better camera angles now so easier to see the terrible calls but I feel like Brady and the pats were always iffy calls and not every single game.  The chiefs I feel like the calls are blatantly bad calls that always go their way and always have a huge impact on the outcome of the game.  It could also just be in the current moment vs the past but I would love some website to do an analysis of not penalties called against each team but game changing penalties called that went far are against each team and directly impacted the final score.  Like the PI that keeps a drive going or the holding call that reverses a big scoring play.  Mainly it seems to be with the chiefs penalties that keep their drives going when otherwise they would stall.

The lack of play action was Buffalo's downfall. They were running all over the Chiefs for several drives, then the Chiefs adjusted and the Bills thought running it would just keep working. I didn't see a single play action play in the 2nd half, when it easily would've converted those 3rd and 4th and shorts that they got stuffed on. Also, on the final drive, they completely abandoned the run and called 4 straight passes, all telegraphed. 

 

Joe Brady really did a great job with the Bills' O all year, but man he fell flat on his face when it mattered most. That said, Reid and Spags have made a million coaches look stupid over the years, as much as some may want to blame McDermott/Brady, Andy and his crew are just better and there really aren't many (any?) who can keep up with them.

Apologies if this was already brought up, but I just realized that the Bills-Chiefs game had the same score as SB 38. Like the Panthers, the Bills whiffed on two 2pt conversions. And like the Pats, the Chiefs converted on their only 2 pointer. And now I'm depressed, just from thinking about it.

Well you can count on Chiefs winning since there are multiple reports of Kelce and Swift wanting to get married. The NFL will make sure the Chiefs will win and then Kelce proposes on the podium.

You do realize that would be the NFL's worst nightmare, right?

If KC wins and 3-peats, that's major league history and sparks a sincere debate of Mahomes vs Brady for GOAT already.

If Kelce were to propose on the podium, it would be the only thing anyone is talking about, it would overshadow one of the biggest moments in NFL history.  Beyond the NFL not wanting that, Kelce is too good of a guy and teammate to do that to the rest of the Chiefs, he's not dumb, he'd know how much it would overshadow what they did on the field.

Brady`s spygate is overlooked, helping him to 3 Super Bowls. This wont hurt the Chiefs.

I don’t mean from a history standpoint, but from an immediate news standpoint.

It would be a viral moment that would 100% take the immediate attention away from the 3-Peat, the league wouldn’t want it and Kelce wouldn’t do that to his teammates.

I also don't really get the feeling that's what he and Swift would want, either, and you're absolutely right he wouldn't want to take away from his teammates.

Personally I would love it. I have a parlay that KC wins the SB. TK wins MVP and he proposes to TS during the MVP presentation. I took it out at the beginning of the season. I swear they will let you bet on anything.

    • Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.
    • If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?
    • Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
