Welp the Bills fall short on the road against two legends in the sport by three points.
Let’s get to it:
-
People really don’t understand how good Andy Reid is. The offense he calls is just spectacular. Sean McDermott was looking for answers all night long. If it wasn’t for a lucky fumble recovery the KC offense would have had a perfect first half. Reid and Mahomes are match made in heaven and you really have to be on your A game to beat them. Today Buffalo played at a B level.
-
Losing Christian Bendford early in the game was a killer. Elam (a 1st round 2022 pick) was just lost out there. Reid and Mahomes exposed the weakness. But overall the chickens came to roost on this defense. It got fat off turnovers all season long and once they dried up they had no answers. I always thought this wasn’t a championship level defense and tonight proved it.
-
Poor Josh Allen. While I don’t think he played amazing, he definitely had some really good plays tonight but once again the team let him down. Defense came up small. WRs not making catches but the final play Buffalo had on offense is what does it for me. Josh does an amazing job avoiding a blitz (which Spags did an amazing job disguising) which rushed Josh but he still got off an amazing throw down field as to where a Bills player could have made the catch. Dalton Kincaid made an attempt for the ball and completely whiffed and dropped the pass! I was beside myself! I don’t understand how you can be a pro NFL player and not make that catch!!! Super frustrating.
Overall I’m not to sad or beat up over this loss. Going on the road against a two time champion is a tall task. Josh at times was meh (fumbled a snap) the team looked jittery at times and in the back of my mind I knew this defense just wasn’t good enough. I honestly thought this would be a down year for the Bills and they would go 9-8 but they made it all the way to the AFC championship so I’m happy the season went as well as it did.
Great season fellas. Now we look to the draft and free agency to see if we can finally get over this hump. Also I got some Fiat coming my way thanks to the hedge bet. 50% of the winnings will go to the stacker rewards pool so stackers at least yall can celebrate tonight.
