Livinginthepast

Had a terrible sleep replaying the slow motion nightmare of last night. I'm pretty laid back about most things in life. The Bills are pretty much the only thing that gets my heart pounding with stress and adrenaline like that and sleep gets ruined. That said, today I am numb. It always feels like someone has died when the Bills finally get knocked of contention and I am sick and tired of doing a post mortem about things every year at this time. It will fade in the next couple of days but right now its that stupid childish feeling of sadness.

I dont mind it as a call. But Damar Hamlin getting the ball?

Leonard Floyd was good at times this year but ultimately he was disappointing when it mattered. Even so I would love for him to be back. Jones was great then injured (need him back to form) . Hyde appears to be done as an effective player (One of my favourite Bills of the last few years) The rest of the list is so meh that I couldnt care less. Epenesa especially disappointed me. Flashes of brilliance then invisibility.

I agree about the WRs but even a quality group of receivers needs a good offensive play book to part of. Watching the last two weeks of playoffs showed me over and over again how unsophisticated our offense was this season compared to other teams. Even with Brady running it and making better decisions than the useless Dorsey we were hamstrung by the limited playbook. Yes Josh missed guys tonight but on many plays we were not scheming guys open and there was no deception to our game plan all season like in the Dabol years. The 4th down? play to Shakir where he faked left then right in the backfield and was wide open for the first down was so rare this year. Brady did well with a terrible offense he inherited but imagine our current offense with a great coordinator and a sophisticated play book!

Its the Charlie Brown effect. This time! Yes this time we are going to kick that football! and then reality strikes and our SB victory and hope vanish like a mirage. I've been a fan since the 79 season and they have killed me like this at least 8 or 9 times but I foolishly convince myself to hope again!

Im with you there. But the future is the only glimmer of hope we have with this never ending Bills induced torture!

We would have watched Mahomes do his master class on hurry up dink and dunk and the Bills chasing him and missing him only for him to get a first down. Von Miller tackling air and then the inevitable Butker perfect Fg right down the middle with no time on the clock.

Not insanity at all with an iffy kicker (who is in a bad headspace) on a cold night and a defense who had few answers at all. We needed to go for the 4th down play and win it with no time for the Chiefs to go down the field for a TD.

It was almost a great prediction! But the Football Gods love to torture us Bills fans.....ENDLESSLY!!!

Yes that meatball that played for Washington would have made it because that guy has confidence. Bass was scared when he trotted out there and tightened up. The kick was really bad.

Yup I agree. As soon as we decided to play for a tie with a low % FG kicking in the cold, we lost this game. We should have gone for the first down and the TD and the win. I would have had more respect for McD had he done so. Bass hasnt been right for a long time and McD knew that. If we get that TD we are up by 4 and KC has to drive the field and cant get one of their bogus game winning FGs. But either McD froze or he never even contemplated that scenario.

1. Diggs has to make that catch, it was in his hands 2. The miss to Diggs was on Josh totally. He will be having nightmares watching that again. 3. Bass lost his mojo a while ago. And once a kicker does that, its over. Its very similar to Norwood. Baltimore and KC dont have that problem.

Ultimately it comes down to coaching. Even at the end. McD knows that Bass is struggling and so does Brady. Why did we even kick there?? ? Even if Bass gets the FG we probably lose this game because the Chiefs get into winning FG range easily when they get the ball back. Once we didnt get the touchdown we lost. McD just isnt up to the job when it comes to these high stress crucial decisions.

Yup only the Bills lose like this . Always!!

Some people get an adrenaline rush off Bills games. For the last 4 decades games like this make me physically ill.

It should be a fumble but well its the Chiefs and Hoculi. Maybe Gene "Im always right" Steratore can give us a lifeline!

WTF

well I guess thats the game

Bills D looks completely out of ideas.

Von Miller please reach back into your glorious past and give us something!!

The defense needs to step up. A sack, a pick, a fumble anything!!

YESSSSSSS

Dumb to waste a TO there!

Im so sick of Bills Dbs never tracking the ball. That whole drive was embarrassing on the defense.

How are you allowed to tackle the helmet. Thats twice the chiefs have done that!
