Takeaways: Buffalo Bills Come to Chiefs again, so who’s the blame?

Buffalo Bills lost another heartbreaking end game to Kansas City Chiefs Sunday in the AFC Championship Game. They had their options, and Chiefs even turned the ball, but the bills couldn’t get over the hump.

Dalton Kincaid dropped the greatest passport of his life

With the game on the line coming out of the two -minute warning, the bills faced the fourth and five near midfield. Josh Allen fell back and Chiefs brought a lot of pressure, but Allen somehow not only got a care, he found the guy who was open. And it jumped out of Dalton Kincaid’s hands 20 meters down the field. It’s just another example of the bills needing a guy to play to beat the chiefs and the guy who doesn’t make the game.

Tush-Push Trauma to Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen

The bills were repeatedly filled on Tub -push against Kansas City Chiefs. After converting on almost any attempt throughout the season, they were 1-4 in the AFC Championship Game. One conversion kept a drive alive that was eventually sniffed out of one of the errors. In the fourth-down attempt in the fourth quarter, it had to go to a stand notification in which CBS analyst Gene Starators joined a huge vocal group on social media that called it a successful conversion. The judgment on the field said he was short, however. The only card-yard game that worked was on the target line when the bills turned to Old School Option Play James Cook and run back that stretches it into the final zone.

I liked the two-point conversion calls

After the bills went down the field in 90 seconds to score just before half, the bosses were called for offside at the extra point. Sean McDermott properly sent the violation back onto the field to go to two-point conversion and make it a three-point game. I did not love the actual execution where Allen took a step back before I went onto tush -push, but the decision to go after it and the game was fine.

On the second, the bills scored three minutes back in the third quarter. Up 22-21 the bills chose to go to two once again to make it a three-point lead. Again, I think this is the right call. The bills used two of their card-yardage acting to enter the final zone, eliminating them from the Playbook.

The NFL team has a conversion rate of 50% on two-point conversions and the bills went just 0-for-2. You would think they should convert one. They lost with a field goal, so it will definitely be questioned, but I think the decisions were right.

Mack Hollins deserves so much praise for stepping up

Who led the bills in Touchdown receipts in 2024? That’s right, it was Journeyman Mack Hollins. Not only did he show up dressed up as animals, he played like an animal. He pulled a touchdown and another long catch to the finish line in the second half where the bills were able to score another touchdown. He was a clutch in a game where Buffalo just needed a small clutch.

Slow start for Josh Allen

Allen took the first game in four meters on a reading option before two would be interceptions that used more Chiefs defenders on back-to-back act. We have not seen a reinforced Josh Allen much this year, but it certainly looked like this on the opening drive.

Another opening disaster for the opening drive for the Bills defense

Today, the seventh opening -driven touchdown the bills were allowed this season including each end game. In nine games they let the opponent score, and it would have been ten if Jets kicked in three instead of going for it on the fourth and short. (They forced four revenue including downs and seven punts.) It’s hard to continue winning games that go down 0-7 every time.

It’s a bad Sean McDermott -challenge – again

Inside for three minutes left in the first half, the bills thought they had a Cole Bishop interception inside their five. Xavier Worthy River it from Bishop, and the judges gave Kansas City possession. On the same game, Damar Hamlin was called for defensive holding at Travis Kelce, so when Sean McDermott threw the challenge flag, it was ridiculously mute. If the piece was called an eavesdropping, Chiefs would have the ball first and 10 on the 20ish yard line. If the piece was controlled as called, the bills lose a timeout … for what, 20 yards? Regardless of the result, the bills lost a timeout, they lost a challenge and Chiefs would have a first down. On the ensuing drive, the bills got back the ball with 1:55 and two timeouts, and they scored a touchdown so it doesn’t bite them in the butt.

Chiefs hit in on Kaiir Elam after Kristen Benford -damage

When Christian Benford left the game with a concussion, Kaiir Elam entered the game as his replacement. Chiefs immediately chose him for passes of 11 and 12 on Elam’s first full drive in the game. Later on the same drive, he allowed a third-down conversion and was called for a face mask (though it was a little questionable) before Chiefs scored. To start the second half, Elam Chiefs gave a first down with a care interference penalty. Elam was also abused by KC’s next first-down collection. He wasn’t the reason Buffalo lost, but they were definitely key on him.
