The Bills’ best chance at the #1 seed is probably a hope that the AFC West continues to improve. There are now four competent coaches in that division. Kelce very well may retire this offseason which also helps. But the Chiefs won’t stay idle and their pro personnel dept has been running circles around Beane’s for years now anyhow.Ya know what's aggravating as hell? In 2020 the NFL added a wild card team and eliminated the bye for the #2 seed. We've been the #2 seed in 4/5 seasons since.

Disagree. The difference between the Bills and Chiefs in the playoffs has been guys like Chris Jones and Karlaftis - guys who get after the passer. Mahomes didn't lose a beat after Tyreek Hill left. Kelce and D-Hop were not difference makers tonight. Juju put up numbers - and is usually mocked around here. Hollins had nearly as many yards as the almighty Xavier Worthy. The Bills took a big swing with Von a few years ago and it didn't produce the expected results, but that's the type of impact player(s) we need.

That was an all time incredible play if Kincaid comes down with it which he probably should’ve
Second year in a row a Bills receiver didn't come down with a catchable ball in a critical situation against the Chiefs in the playoffs. IMO the throw was more difficult than the catch. Then again we saw Andrews miss a catchable ball last week. Sh!t happens.

Could care less. Trade him and get what you can, who cares at this point.

Yes he isn’t immune. He had the opportunity every QB asks for, but unlike Mahomes Brady Manning he failed. He’s had his chances to prove himself and hasn’t, he’s a choker until otherwise and they aren’t going anywhere with him.
Are you proposing the trade route or outright cut?

would you not have taken that scenario before the game??
I know I would have.....and I would be expecting a TD drive to win it.
I bet that 8 times out of 10, the Bills would have at least gotten a FG in that situation, and maybe 4 out of 10 the Bills score a TD in that scenario.
That leaves a 2 out of 10 chance the Bills score no points in that scenario.......and unfortunately that is exactly what we got.
After the Bills D held the Chefs to that FG on the most important 1st and Goal situation of the season, I thought for sure the Bills would write the storybook ending we all hoped for, but it didn't happen.
Really feel defeated right now, because I don't feel that the game was taken away from the Bills, I think they had it in their hands and let it slip away.🤢
I'll go you one better. I would have signed up for that at half time when the only KC drive that didn't end with a TD was due to their botched RPO/handoff - just outside of the red zone.

Nothing changes. Rinse repeat good seasons only for coaching or 17 to fail us come post season. At this point blow it all up and reset from scratch as their not gonna get over the hump and zero reason to continue as constructed.
Including 17?

That's the thing... what was our other play? You do something 30/32 times... and that's a trend. I'd be mad if they tried something different.
The well-coached (and more talented) playoff teams knew that was our trend and adjusted. We didn't counter - except for Josh's dive over the top.

But, the entire season whenever it has been 3rd and 1,2, or 4th and 1, and we didn't do this... the question has always been "Why not just tush push?!"
At any point had we done something else and it not worked, that same question would have been asked.
I'm all for doing the same thing over and over and over until the other team stops it. From what I saw, the Ravens started to make it look less than automatic and for sure tonight KC did. In the regular season Josh would make it a yard or more past the mark. Last week and tonight it wasn't the gimme it was regular season and actually got stopped.

I had no problem with that one, even though it ended up squirrelly.
Letting him plant and go right off the snap is a far superior option than asking him to move laterally first, imo.
I don't disagree, but where I was going was maybe they could have a short yardage play that isn't always "Josh go get it".
-
6 minutes ago, Simon said:
Yeah, they got entirely too reliant on it over the course of the year and never really developed anything to complement it.
Asking Josh to move laterally before he drives is not a viable variation.
At the risk of disparaging the fairer sex, even my wife was questioning why they kept going back to the same play. It just wasn't the automatic play that it was in the regular season. And when they mixed it up and Josh went over the top it was nearly a fumble.

The constant crying about referees is an embarrassment to the entire fanbase, imo.
Where I'll disagree is it's not just this fanbase - from what I've seen it's the majority of the football watching public. Was at a HS football game in the fall and less than 5 minutes into the game a guy sitting next to me was livid over the refs spotting the ball. And the plays weren't even first down or not spots. Folks are hyper focused on the refs.
I thought we should've gotten the first down call on review and looking back at the 3rd down play it never should have come down to it. But the bigger issue to me was the over-reliance on Josh on 4th and short when it was getting stuffed going back to last week so I get your point.

The thought of KC winning another is nauseating and rooting for the Eagles has no appeal whatsoever. But I've watched every SB since I started watching football and this year will be no different. But I'll be most interested in the pools I'm in.

Being anxious for the game has me wondering, does anyone else have this sensation of acceptance? As in, we are right here, right now. Whatever will be, will be.
We've all been here before. But I can't bring myself to worry of a heartbreak. For some reason I'm not concerned today. We'll all be alright, because our destiny was written long ago.
Does your heart feel a strange calmness today?
100%
At the same time I know that by around 10 PM I'll either be floating on cloud 9 or completely dejected.

My next day started with the NY Times shading the Bills and Josh through one of their daily puzzles.

D!cks.

Who knew that we'd get threads like this before the season started and most thought this was a reset year?
Good times.

The only thing that matters is getting that Lombardi. Beat the Chiefs on Sunday, finish the job in NO, and let everyone else have their participation trophies.
On one hand I agree with the sentiment that winning the SB is the ultimate goal and what matters most - well beyond any other individual accolade. However equating a league MVP award to a participation trophy is beyond stupid.

My favorite part of the past week is wifey's perspective. She's on edge. I've spent the better part of my life living and dying with the Bills successes and failures on my own. I didn't push the Bills on my boys (18 and 22) but was thrilled when it took. As the Bills and Josh started their ascent I think my wife felt left out and started to get invested. Now she's all in. It helps that Josh, the team and the fan base are so solid. It's been great to have the fam share my love of the Bills with all of the highs and lows that come with it. My wife would fit right in with the bi-polar game day thread posts.
Good times. Go Bills!

I think what Franco did as a lefty should have gotten him in.To me he was a compiler and never a truly dominant player. I want Hall of Famers to be iconic, no-doubters. It's subjective and fun to debate. Years ago there was a poster who was very knowledgeable about baseball who mocked me when I said I thought Yadier Molina would be a HOFer. Different strokes for different folks.
The real tragedy to me is that I've never been to Cooperstown. Incomprehensible.

I think they are both deserving and definitely thing Franco is more deserving.
Doesn’t even require thought, IMO.
3 hours ago, ExWNYer said:Wagner definitely deserved to be elected. It was long overdue, IMO. It's a shame that they made him wait until his very last year of eligibility, but better late than never.
I've said it before, I'm a tough grader when it comes to the HOF. I wouldn't put Wagner in and definitely not Franco. The fact that it took 10 years for Wagner to get in speaks volumes to me. Great player, just not a HOFer in my eyes.

Aside from the fact that the poster wasn’t seriously wishing death on anybody, this is like judging Bills fans by the Kermit lynching.
So is your opinion that the posting on that site is classy?
From what I've read few if any here are disparaging the Chiefs fan base, just the posting of the fans on that site. Is that a go-to board for you?

I have a friend who hates
the funny thing is that it’s easy to get the song stuck in his head. We sing Mr Roboto and he freaks out - dropping ear worm torture lol
Apart from the song and video itself, what made it worse for me is that it came from a band that I liked years before it came out.

When I die I want 6 Buffalo Bills as pallbearers so they can let me down one last time
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I was born early 60's and still waiting, but I'm also an out-of-towner so def not the same experience as locals.
Might sound like a broken record (remember those?) but I was thrilled when my sons took to the Bills - I never pushed it on them. We witnessed the drought-breaking TD by Boyd together and went nuts together. When we drafted Josh they were high school and middle school and asked me if he'd be any good. I told them I had no idea but we got one of the four so I was happy.
When 13 seconds happened we were crushed and I told them that was their official indoctrination to Bills fandom. In the meantime their Mom felt left out and now is fully in with us. It sucks that we haven't made it to the top yet, they're all feeling the strain more and more each year especially wifey!
No regrets that I chose to be a Bills fan and happy as hell that my fam adopted them as well. Despite another disappointing end to the season I'm looking forward to next year!
Go Bills!
