Buffalo Bills 2023 Summer - Post-Draft and Pre-Camp Talk

[NotABadPeriod]

They finally called it!

In a way, I get it - a first down for Detroit ends the game anyway. But now KC's gonna need a TD instead of a FG with 1 timeout left even if they get the 3 and out. And Detroit can call anything on first down.

Uhhhh

what was that decision making by Reid and co?

 

[markpenske]

Chiefs are about to lose.
That's a shame.......a damn shame

Interesting call to go for this with 3 timeouts and the two minute warning on 4th and 20.

Especially only down 1. If you need a TD, I can kind of understand going for it.

But a FG wins the game. Punt it inside the 20, hold them and give Mahomes the ball with ~90 seconds left and only ~30-40 yards needed.

Seems like a lack of confidence in stopping the Detroit running game.

Another thing that hurt KC there is the 4th down play took the full 9 seconds down to the 2:00 timeout. A punt probably wouldn't have - especially if it was hit properly.

Dude, it's the Lions. You gotta wait for triple zeroes before making a statement like that.

you're right. I should know that

 

[misterchainsaw]

Oh god they're gonna have another 4th and short again, aren't they?

NOPE! Montgomery gets it and the game is over barring disaster!

11 offensive possessions, 13 net points for KC without Kelce.

Remember the Chiefs had Smith-Schuster last year too, who's probably middle of the pack as #1's go, but is a #1. Chiefs don't look to have anyone out wide right now. Kelce will obviously mitigate some of that, but not all. And Kelce's not going to get the extra man out of the box in general on neutral downs for the run game.

Entire receiving corps had a severe case of butterfingers

Feels great to see KC take an L week 1, and to an NFC team, to boot

I’ll be curious to see the odds on that decision. I bet a 4th and 25 has odds less than 10% of being successful.

KC has a real WR issue. But I guess it doesn’t matter if Kelce returns. They win that game if he is in IMO.

Detroit is fun but man do they have some huge limitations at QB.

Well, as it turned out, trying to get it was their only hope since Detroit got their first down. Obviously that's hindsight though. But I do suspect the fact that the offensive line for Detroit was starting to impose their will was a factor in Reid's decision.

Two of those drops were pretty tough catches, to be fair. One of them, his own WR got in his way. The other was a pretty poorly thrown ball by Mahomes.

 

[billsandsabres]

giving the ball to mahomes on his own 45 down 1 with 3 timeouts and 2:00+ left is a chiefs win like 101% of the time. stunning

 

[Dirty Dog]

The lions offense has two drives that produced points!

As always, dont read too much into September/October performances. They matter in the sense that wins/losses are treated equally no matter when you get them. BUT how a team looks in the first two months is irrelevant

Is that the dude they traded a 2nd or 3rd round pick for?

Hell yeah, but it's nice seeing the Chiefs lose on their SB celebration night! This goes without saying, but the zip Mahomes and Allen can put on the ball is special. Hebert is the only other QB that's close.

KC has a talent problem at WR.

Losing Orlando Brown could be detrimental. He was a beast in the playoffs for them. It peeves me that the Bengals signed him. Oh well, I've at least read he has consistency problems. Burrow is spoiled with the weapons and O line they're building in Cincy. Props to the Bengals FO.

Nice to see KC lose. We all know what they are capable of so we just need to make sure we take care of our business every chance we get.

I have a feeling McAfee is going to be one of those public figures/celebrities we look back on in a decade and cringe about giving a platform. I die inside every time I see him and hear that voice. The fact that his new show has a "disclaimer" where they brag about using "cuss words" makes my skin crawl.
