It didn’t feel like we’re the Bills bc we’re not a consistent conference contender yet we’re a rebuilding team. But with the game on the line we played just like the Bills went straight down the field and scored a tuddy then converted a 2pt conversion I have to give credit where credit is due. And the chiefs played us like we were the Bills in an AFC championship game, drive down the field and kicked a walk off FG to win at the end very similar to me. Are saying our defense stunk yesterday? Vs an elite offense team with elite coaching an elite QB man idk what you want them to do. KC does these things to the best defenses in the league consistently to win AFC chips and Super Bowls let’s not devalue who they are. I saw us play KC to the wire and barely lose defense did its thing as much as it could.

Bingo!!! We’re also forgetting how injured we’ve been defensively this year, yes we need to build up the D but adding a few pieces and D Browns successful rehab should make us a very strong unit again. Couple that with the offense we saw yesterday and we’re winning our division.

The D had two huge stops. Kept us in the game. But keeping Mahomes from a FG is virtually impossible at the end of the game. Still, not great before the 4th quarter and a lot of bone headed mistakes (esp by Horn). The D definitely needs work.

Bryce has improved in the deep passing game, but moreso in those intermediate throws that are 15-20 yards down field. He was very accurate on them yesterday and made some very nice throes. And that 30 yarder was just flat dropped, or this chart would look even better.

Many of us are still concerned on if the physical tools are there, but at least there's progress... And meaningful progress, taking the defending champs down to the wire, tieing the game late. Real nice job by him yesterday.

Still 3-10 on passes over 15 yards.  At least he's not scared to merely attempt them anymore.  Where I see improvement is the 10-15 yard range.  He was 6-6.  Bryce of old was scatter shot on anything beyond 10 yards and the further out, the worse the accuracy.

Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. 

Edit: can't count in am, lol

This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

2 of those white dots were flat out drops and not Bryce's fault - Legette deep down the left sideline and Tremble over the middle in the endzone.

50% accuracy on deep throws is not a bad game.

One of those passes was the David Moore drop in the back of the endzone. Another was the overthrow towards XL in order to keep time on the clock to kick the field goal with nobody open.

There's also the David Moore drop down the sideline near the start of Q3 and XL's drop on the deep ball towards the end of Q4.

The remaining three are the miss to AT who looks to have ran to the near pylon rather than far where BY threw it, the high throw to David Moore in the endzone that the commentators mentioned that Coker would have been there for, and the drop by Tremble in the endzone after JT had gotten hurt.

 

So 4 drops, 1 throw away, a bad route, and a high throw.

Ok, we will see this week versus Tampa.  Their pass defense is absolute garbage, near bottom of the League.  Until Bryce can win a game without Eddie Pinero doing the majority of heavy lifting on the point total, then I will contend Bryce is still a subpar QB that's managed to be better than horrible as of late.  Congrats to him for doing better than continuous three and outs while also not gifting the other team with a pick or two the past few weeks. Sorry if my optimism is a little guarded considering he's improved over the what was some of the worst QB play I've ever witnessed out of a 'franchise' QB.

It has yet to be seen if he can do it consistently so it's perfectly reasonable to not crown the kid, but it's not unfair to call a spade is a spade, and he played great yesterday.
