WOW what a freaking game. I am not going to lie I was sure that the game was going to be yet another heartbreaking Chiefs playoff loss when the Bills got that TD. This is now our life with #15 we are never out of a game. He is special. Big time players make big time plays and tonight Mahomes went and won the game. There has been a lot of talk about the NFL figuring him out. But I think he has proven that is not the case.
I want to give a shout out to Hardman. I have been saying for weeks that he has come a long way in the past few games he has really stepped it up. Tonight he chipped in and made that great TD run. I really like what I am seeing from him. He's not a superstar but he is a very key guy for this team. He has really grown on me hopefully he keeps it up.
We need to do something about Butker XPs. He has missed A LOT of them over the past few seasons. He made the game tying kick but he also really hurt up a lot with misses. If Mahomes didn't save the day he would have been a huge reason in why we would have lost. Leaving 4 points off the board can be the death sentence to teams in the playoffs. He has to have taken the biggest sigh of relief that we were able to pull that one out. That would have been really hard to live with all off season. But he has to figure that out.
Defense. As frustrating as they were through most of that game they did get some stops. And lets be real here the Bills are really really good. Some of it you just got to tip your cap to them. But if the Chiefs want to get back to the super bowl they simply are going to have to play better. And that really starts with the coaching. How many times do you let them run the same things before you make an adjustment? They like Butker escaped tonight. But they are going to have to get it together. Losing a couple of guys in the game didn't help but that level of play is going to leave you open to walk out with a bitter taste in your mouth.
I still can not get over that game. Man it was stressful but you know what it was also a TON of fun to watch. A lot of Chiefs fans have PTSD from playoff games past myself included. When The Bills scored that touchdown I will admit I honestly thought about turning the game off I was so down. But Mahomes kept me watching. And I am thankful I did. The Bills are going to be a pain in our backsides for years to come. And man is it going to be a lot of fun. Well fun when the Chiefs win at least.
To steal a quote from Bill Belichick we are on to Cincinnati and it will be once again to keep the Lamar Hunt trophy at Arrowhead stadium. Lets go get it. GO CHIEFS
