Mine is 61 years ago today. Bills-Pats Eastern Division playoffs at War Memorial. 20 degrees, but wind chill of 9 degrees. I was just a kid but I still remember the cold, not to mention the Bills got clobbered.

The other killer was not getting any points out of their last drive in the 1st half and 1st drive of second half. Getting nothing ended up putting them in a huge hole.

Yep, if nothing else you waste 45 seconds of the clock. Just a stupid decision.

It was too deep to be automatic and the risk of losing a TO too high.

The one thing you can't do in that circumstance is allow the ball to fall into the zone. You try a runback, it was the only chance, even if it was a Dumb and Dumber kind of chance.

I just don't have any confidence that McDermott will make good decisions when the game is on the line. Never should have accepted the penalty, never should have allowed the sneak from the 1.

True, but Allen missed Hollins and Kincaid when they had their men beat deep. The entire offense, other than perhaps Cook, stunk up the joint today.

Did you somehow misunderstand when I said winning the division will mean nothing in the playoffs. It wasn't an endorsement of this year's team.

They lead the division because the division is almost certainly the weakest in the NFL. They'll win the division at 9-7 or maybe even 10-6, but if 5 or 6 of the wins are against the East it means almost nothing in the playoffs.

It's clear the receiving crew is mediocre at the very best. Coleman has promise but he certainly isn't a #1 receiver at this point. The rest of them are useless.

Except they wouldn't have had a timeout to use on offense.

Combine a woeful collection of receivers and Allen's inability to hit the long ball (he overthrew Hollins and underthrew Kincaid) and you have a shitshow of a game. Good thing the Bills play in what is likely the worst division in the NFL.

I think it's hilarious. The only good thing about the Chiefs winning is that it pisses of the MAGAts.

It's mocking the MAGAts who were whining about Taylor Swift and Kelce and suggesting the Chiefs were going to win because of some conspiracy between the NFL and Biden.

And the Bills find some way to goof up at the end. Whether it's not throwing to Diggs over the middle, or playing a defense that gave the Chiefs the middle of the field field when they had two timeouts left, the Bills give the Chiefs the opportunity to bring their best. I guess you can say I'm still bitter.
