First - I am writing this without having watched - only listened to half of the 2nd quarter and half of the 3rd. Had to go on an airport run.
Second - we were going to lose at some point, we were fortunate our first loss wasn't last week, yes we made a play at the end of the game but the odds of a FG block ar astronomical. Unfortunate that the first loss comes against Buffalo but we still hold a one game lead against them for the #1 Seed. Buffalo still has to play the 49ers and the Lions of which could be at least one loss. Our schedule is much easier as far as opponents I am concerned with only Denver and the Steelers. I would rather lose to Buffalo now than in the playoffs.
The INT by Pat was just horrible. I get the pocket was collapsing around him but he needs to get better about air mailing passes. Have seen too many of those in the past couple of weeks. Glad to see the rest of the game wasn't
Worthy was the entire first scoring drive (except the Mike Caliendo for 5 yards :-)). It was almost as if the Chiefs decided to showcase the WR Buffalo traded to them. What a great drive for Worthy 4 receptions for 61 yards and a TD.
Noah Gray with his first multi touchdown game. Hendershot with another catch. I feel like he has made more of a difference with this offense than Wiley has.
The Defense seems to want to blitz Allen from the right side forcing him to his right, which is a huge mistake. Allen can make all the throws rolling to his right. Gotta find the way to pressure him and force him to the left.
N. Johnson got picked on quite a bit today but he managed to have a decent game despite this. The more experience he gets the better we will be as we approach the playoffs. Tied for team lead in tackles with 8 (Connor).
Connor had a great game got the timely INT on 4th down to give the ball back to the O which led to our second score. The Defense isn't getting home with 4 rushers. Hoping Omenihu is going to make more of a difference when he comes back.
Kinda felt like the Allen TD was a "let him score" situation so Pat could get the ball back and we could try again for the win with an onside kick or some other miracle play.
Juju really wasn't the impact I was hoping he would be coming back into the mix with Dhop and Kelce. Hoping Pacheco and Hunt can make us deadly in the running game. Worthy seemed to disappear after that first scoring drive. Hunt was running the ball well but for some reason we weren't using him during the two offensive series it was 16-14
First game in a long time where we lost the TOP 34:03/25:57 - still lost the TO battle 2/1
Didn't get a good look at the OL but they seemed to have done better as the game went on. The first Q was pretty shaky. [Reply]
I trust these players and this staff to figure it out by the postseason. Still a very good team.
The problem is that the 1 seed just became much more difficult to obtain. The Bills schedule isn’t all that bad besides the Lions.
The Chiefs could’ve had an opportunity to load manage players down the stretch. They can’t now unfortunately. This will be a tight race to the end. [Reply]
Offense had one or two good drives, but otherwise just too many mistakes, and if we're honest, Pat had a bad day overall. He was off-target but got bailed out a few times by DHop and whoever else, and Andy didn't call his best game.
But on the bright side, now we can at least stop hearing about the dumb undefeated season crap. [Reply]

It wasn't that situation at all. It was 4th down with like 2+ min on the clock down by 2 points.... Stop them on 4th down and it's our ball to go win the game.
Everyone on earth knew Josh Allen was going to use his legs to get that first down... except the Chiefs defense. [Reply]

Even if they tackled Allen inside the 5, the Chiefs would still have a chance.
They had the two minute warning and two timeouts. That was a piss poor effort of tackling by Bolton and the safety coming late. [Reply]

A man’s got to know his limitations. Best to sit this one out. [Reply]

Chiefs - Houston, at Pittsburgh, at Denver.
Bills - New England, Jets, at New England.
Houston is not as good as we thought they were. Russell Wilson is still Russell Wilson....New England/New York always play tough within their division [Reply]
