The NFL is SO FIXED. I've always known they "massage" the outcome if games but I never realized how bad it really was. I should have listened to my grandpa in the early 90s when he said this very same thing, instead everyone looked at him like he was mentally unstable. At the very least no one will ever again mock you for claiming the NFL is fixed.

Even more concerning when you have a QB throwing you the ball who can turn a guy like Gabe Davis into a pro bowler w/ a $40 million dollar contract.

Never forget... pretty much everyone on this board wanted to trade up and get Brian thomas Jr, we would have only needed to trade up about 5 spots - the trade equivalent of a 3rd round pick or basically what we traded for Cooper. So instead of cooper+coleman , we could have BT Jr.

Make sure to remind yourself how we are the only team in the history of the NFL to lose 4 straight playoff games to the same team.

I haven't read anything chiefs related , social media , player reactions , NICK WRIGHT, etc.. you should probably do the same better for your health

Man... I don't agree with this narrative at all. There's no guarantee the Bills were going to beat Cincinnati, let alone the Rams and their defense.

Yeah or another team takes them out. Also, kelce retiring and taking Taylor Swift with him will help .

Well you kind of answered your own question. That was the highest rated AFCCG ever. The owners have no incentive to fix anything. A lot of people have threatened to boycot the superbowl. I know I plan on skipping for the first time in 30 years, and I'm sure there are some other bills fans that will do the same, but I can't imagine there being a serious super bowl exodus. I guess we will find out soon enough .... If viewership continues to break records don't expect any less "massaging" by the refs next year. If anything, they'll be emboldened to take it one step further, knowing fans will continue to watch regardless.

Ok fine... Chicago is slated to play at Buffalo in 2026. Chicago @ Buffalo in a super bowl rematch?

I started thinking about this a couple years ago. The NFL would love to have the bills win the super bowl in their final season at the old stadium, and then in 2026 when the bills open their new stadium have the first NFL game of the year be in Buffalo. We are even slated to play Detroit in 2026. My prediction : Week 1 Detroit @ Buffalo in a super bowl rematch.

I really wish our players would have called out the refs like the Texans did.

I feel worse knowing that the NFL continues to favor the chiefs and Taylor swift over integrity. I feel like a fool having spent decades of my life dedicated to a sport which is more aligned with entertainment than actual football. I feel empty knowing a super bowl is only achievable if the refs say it is. It cheapens everything. Even if the bills won a super bowl in the future it will never be the same.

Bill Burr says it best: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15EpHAVsTe/

Ummm yes its Terry's fault because he won't make a change . Are you OK with running it back with McDermott and beane ? If so, how many losses in a row to the chiefs before you've had enough ? If 4 isn't enough for you what is ? 5 ? 6 ? How about 10 losses in a row to the chiefs ?

Let's say another decade goes by with no super bowl. Allen Has one last hurrah and decides to leave the bills for a different team who ultimately go on to win a super bowl, triumphing over Andy reid and Mahomes, of all people, sending them into retirement. How much joy would you take in this? Is it close to the same as if the bills won a super bowl? Because right now I'm having trouble envisioning this team/franchise ever winning a super bowl for our city.

Mcdermott was reids assistant or coordinator for over a decade at Philadelphia. What do you think?

I really think we should have. Instead we gave the chiefs a decent receiver in worthy and drafted a guy who , let's be honest, can not separate at all. And Cole bishop kinda looks like the temu white guy secondary version of cooper dejean

How many awful signings is beane allowed ?

I'm not watching. I think they may see a slight dip in ratings but doubt it is substantial at all.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm supportive of trading allen. Not because I think it's a good idea, but solely because I know he'll never win one in buffalo with this team and this coaching staff. Year in and year out his teammates or coaches let him down. I feel worse for him than even the fans.

I've been saying this for years. It doesn't matter if you bring all the talent in the world... max crosby, Khalil mack etc. Until a coaching change is made it won't matter.

What do we think happens with PSL prices? The bills were already having issues selling at the current prices. As a current season ticket holder I was on the fence, but can now unequivocally say I'm out. Not interested in investing dollars and time into a franchise that probably won't change anything (beane and McDermott will be back). A 5th straight playoff loss to the chiefs /refs seems to be inevitable.

He only needs one super bowl to go down as one of the greatest of all time, just look at rodgers , so there's plenty of time. But if he never gets a super bowl? He'll be remembered as better than guys like Phillip rivers. Probably gets remembered as Dan Marino 2.0

It was blatantly obvious throughout the whole game. And It felt like the refs got even more emboldened after McDermott tried challenging the incomplete pass / interception to worthy, even though a play had already been run.

You missed the most important point...."hope that the nfl doesn't rig the outcome in favor of the chiefs and Taylor swift" That's what's most difficult to swallow. It doesn't matter what the bills do. The nfl won't let them win.
