Score is 7-2, we’re on the road, the crowd is still into the game. We get the ball at the KC 34 Yard line! What do we do? PASS 3 TIMES! Then miss a 47 yard FG! Where was the run? One ****** 1st down and it’s a gimmie FG! And maybe a TD! We miss the 47 yard attempt, lose the Field position advantage that we had all game and KC goes down to score making it 14-2. That’s very well could have been a 14 point swing! Instead of 14-2 we’re looking at 9-7. And we have the momentum on our side! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU PASS 3 TIMES WHEN THE CROWD IS GOING NUTS AND THEY’RE GETTING A CRAZY PASS RUSH?

Later in the game, It’s 21-2 KC! Things are not looking good, but we move the ball down the field and if we score a TD, we’re going into the half 21-9 and it gives us hope for the second half. It’s 1st and goal at the 9! Surprise, Surprise we run the ball! Travis busts off a beautiful 7 yard run with about 4 Chiefs on his back for the last 3 yards. The guy is running hard! He has 2 carries on the drive for 13 yards! Almost 7 yards a carry and he just needs 2 yards on 2 plays. What do we do? Pass twice! KC blitzes both times and both fall incomplete, and we kick a FG! KC goes down the field and puts up another TD making it 28-5! Game over!

In my mind those were the two sequences that lost the game!

Henry had 124 yards on 22 carries! We should have pulled a Miami and ran the guy 45 times. We knew we were on the road. We knew they had a poor run D! We knew that with the crowd noise, it was going to be tough to throw the ball!

Even an idiot will tell you the bills(or any team at that) will be a great team w/ a great running game. Gilbride has no confidence in his run schemes against good teams and GW doesn't have the balls to tell Gilbride that.
