You don't think they were overmatched? Berry gave up a TD, Flowers gave up 2, Jackson carried multiple defenders on a consistent basis ...

No, I don't. I think the Chiefs coaches asked certain players to do things that they aren't good at doing. In return they got beat. The Berry TD was given up on a very short field. The Flowers TD was just a great play by Stevie. Flowers had good coverage. Johnson had 4 catches for 66 Yards. That hardly says overmatched to me.

The O-line certainly was not man handled. Charles showed flashes of nearly breaking a big one. The D-Line got handled when the wrong personnel were out there.

If you knew the Bills were going to run on you, do you think putting Gilberry and Bailey out there is a good idea? That's exactly what I mean by putting your players in a position to fail.

Fitz went 7 for 7 when throwing at McGraw, Pisc and Lewis. Those three were overmatched. What's the excuse for lack of a pass rush, wrong personnel on the field?

The excuse for the lack of pass rush is Crennel. He repeatedly rushed 3-4 guys....Hali being the only OLB rushing Fitzpatrick. All Buffalo did was double team Hali.

If your front 4 isn't generating a pass rush, then isn't it usually a case where the DL is overmatched by the OL?

Of course they're going to be overmatched when you're only sending 4.

It isn't an "of course". Plenty of teams rush 4 and generate pressure.

Rewatch the game.

You're missing my point. Lining pissthebedy over a WR in the slot is a mismatch. Of course he is going to be picked on. It happened all game long. The scheme shouldn't put a player like that in a situation like that. That falls on the hands of the coaching staff. Instead of hiding our defeciencies, Crennel left them to be exposed.

I've been saying it this entire thread.

What's the excuse for the lack of pass rush? Did you watch the game? They didn't even send a pass rush....

No way.

If Buffalo is 4 wide and Berry is out, who do you want covering the 4th receiver? I'm assuming you are using Flowers, Carr and Arenas on 1-3.

Oh, I don't know, maybe Jalil Brown? Someone Qualified for the job maybe? Or better yet, overload the O-line and rush the passer, leave everyone else in a short zone.
