Yeah not to make any excuses for the guy, he blew it with the game ending INT... But **** me if it didn't feel like Von Miller was practically living and breathing in the backfield tonight.

This O-Line for all it's touted to be - has never really FELT as good as it looks on paper. To this day I consistently feel like Mahomes is running for his ****ing life back there. Granted you could attribute some of that to his playstyle but there is just something not right. With 4/5 guys on the OL being above average Mahomes should not be falling on his ass as much as he seems to.

They showed a bill doing it just a few minutes later. Technically not even opi because the ball hadn't even been thrown.

When Andy called the timeout and saved 20+ seconds for Buffalo, I had a feeling it would backfire on him and sure enough it did. Would have saved 4 points if he let the clock run with Buffalo stuck on their own 1 yard line.

Very even game with the best team we've played all year. The the game was basically first to flinch and Mahomes did at the end. I guess you could say it's on him but I have to give the Bills more props for being just that damn good. We'll rip their hearts out in a few months per the usual

[carcosa]

Yeah, one of those insanely rare Mahomes Ls. Rare even compared to other HOF level QBs I think

We’ll never have a “high pick” with Mahomes

After trading Tyreek, we weren’t going to blow up the roster. We are 4-2 and still have a chance at the SB. There aren’t a ton of other impressive teams out there, this is about as good a chance as you can hope for with an expensive QB

[crayzkirk]

Blame him if you want; it looked like other than Kelce, the receiving corps for this team doesn't get any separation. No one was open and their front DL was getting almost immediate pressure.

You want to be able to count on your offense to get some first downs when you need them. The QB is the highest paid player however he needs help and he didn't get much today.

Can't win them all...

Huh? Dayton had been GM for like a decade when they won in 2015 lol

Mahomes worst play was the dart he threw to Burton on the screen on first down. We ended up with a FG but on that play he had 15 yards easy down to maybe the 10 yard line. Mahomes for some reason threw it on a line in a bad spot. We may win if we convert that series.

Didn't even read the op, just wanna chortle and marvel at such a blatant hit piece... yeah this ones on Mahomes alone, k thx bye!

They showed a zoomed in replay of that with a leaping defender who almost got his hands on the ball. Seemed like Mahomes was trying to go around the defender’s hands, which made it a much harder catch on Burton’s end.

I think he was worried about the DE getting a finger on it

Bills made the stop, with the lead btw. Like good defenses do.

Lol, what are you talking about? KC had to run a couple straight up rookies out there and missing our most athletic LB, we held the number 1 offense in the league to well under their pts/gm average. Hell, take out that aberration game vs. MIA and BUF is averaging something like 34 points/gm.

The defense did better than I expected them to do today, all things considered.

Otoh, their defense held Patrick and our offense to about 10 points under our average. But their defense was just the better unit today.

Patrick and the offense needed to help out our defense going into the game. The KC defense kept BUF from scoring on 5 out of 9 drives. And only three TDs for the game. Not sure what else you can ask of them.

Patrick effed up with two terrible INTs, and of course the refs called one TD back. But really considering what our win % is when we only allow 24 pts, the offense shit the bed in the second half, not the defense.

If Butker doesn't miss that FG we only need another FG at the end to win the game. If that was the case I doubt Mahomes gets that aggressive with 1 minute left.

Just needs to lob it out there. He’s done it plenty but I think he was actually a bit rushed from the backside if I recall but still an easy play for him.
