So weird. It's not like using Allen as your de facto RB is a foreign concept to the Bills either
Dan orlovsky and Rex Ryan not keeping the same energy with Josh allen

Ya'll are legit mixing sports narratives now. "Hero ball" for a QB throwing to an open wr in the end zone.
NOPE.
IF HE HITS THAT TD
HE STILL LEFT 1:55 AND 2 TIMEOUTS
FOR MAHOMES TO COME
DOWN AND WIN THE GM
AS HE WATCHES HELPLESSLY FROM THE SIDELINES.
(KC PUNTED ONCE IN THE WHOLE GM)
IT WAS A TERRIBLE HERO BALL DECISION.
GET THE 1ST DOWN
AND FORCE KC TO BURN TIMEOUTS.
The defense made the play, Josh didn't make the throw. The decision was fine.

NOPE
PRIORITY 1 OUT OF THE 2 MIN WARNING
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO PICK UP A FIRST
AND FORCE KC TO BURN TOS
Ehh.... it was an open play but the gameplan was clearly to prioritize time of possession and not give the Chiefs the ball with a chance to win the game.Ya'll are legit mixing sports narratives now. "Hero ball" for a QB throwing to an open wr in the end zone.
Even if Allen hits that throw the Chiefs have an eternity to go put the ball in the end zone.
They had 2 timeouts and the Bills were doing nothing on the ground. KC was probably getting the ball back either way. Not to mention you needed more than a fg to win. This wasn't a situaion where you were down 2 or it was a tie game. Going for a td is a perfectly fine decision there. It's not like it was 3rd and 1 and he threw into double coverage. Knocking that decision is the epitome of results based thinking.

Personally I thought they should've ran on 2nd down, but that's on the OC. As a Bills fan watching the game, I wanted the td above all else. Make Mahomes drive the field and keep him out of the end zone. If you can't do that you don't deserve to win.

KC PUNTED ONCE IN
THE WHOLE GAME.
GOTTA USE BRAINS OVER EGO.
BILLS PLAYED THE TIME POSSESSION GM
ALL NIGHT FOR A REASON.
THEY WERE SCORING ON 10 MIN DRIVES
WHILE KC WAS SCORING ON 2 MIN DRIVES.
DEFENSE WAS BANGED UP.
All the more reason to prioritize the TD over the clock. KC averaged 10 yards a play. No way the Bills win kicking a fg.

Of course. A solid receiver room is ideal compared to a #1 and a bunch of other random guys, which is always the counter argument I use when some posters bring up a #1 receiver like it's the end all be all and your problems are solved. It definitely helps, but some nights your #1 receiver just isn't going to happen.
We saw that exact thing happen this season with Kelce and some other dudes and also last night with the Bills and Diggs.
Exactly, no one offers this criticism if the pass is completed.
Also when you are down priority #1 is getting the lead back, and #2 is defense / stopping the other team from getting the ball at all. It's nice to have both, but #1 is what matters.
Allen didn't play poorly but he wasn't good enough. They needed to hit on one of the downfield shots they tried but couldn't get it done.
Bills ran for 180+ yards on the ground, most of that coming in the first 3 quarters. The Chiefs started run blitzing in the 4th, but they only attempted to run 7 times(8 if you wanna count the fake punt by Hamlin). The run game was working, full stop.
Your whole game plan is to keep Mahomes on the bench, you didn't need a quick strike - matter of fact, it's probably more harm than good. If you're going for the killshot with 1 min on the clock and the Chiefs have no timeouts, no problem(though that's still a lot of time for Mahomes). 1:55 and two timeouts? Ridiculous.
NO ONE SAID PRIORITIZE THE FG OVER THE TD YOU SECURE THE FIRST DOWN
THEN GO FOR THE TD.
Nah, what was Lamar supposed to light it up with? It’s easy to give Lamar the benefit of the doubt when you recognize his supporting cast was non-existent.
But you HAVE to SCORE a TD....
Cook had 4 carries in the 4th quarter
-4 yards
-3 yards
0 yards
1 yard.
They were getting stuffed and putting the offense in a horrible position, especially with KC's secondary putting the clamps on.
Ya'll are really trying to argue that a QB should ignore an open WR in the end zone, in order to run clock when you're down 3 points.
neither did I, read it again...
YOU SECURE THE FIRST DOWN
THEN GO FOR THE TD.
