You haven’t been paying attention. It’s happened too many times to not be a jinx.

Conversely, if you watch a Niners game, they’ve got motion and misdirection going on all over the place. Shanahan likes to confuse the he!! out of opposing defenses. He even seems a little over the top. They ran this one play where they had Jimmy G in the shotgun and their fullback Juszczyk went in motion from left to right. He turned around coming back to the left, then went behind the center and took the snap.

So, all 3 head coaches hired so far are first-timers. Two were Bills” OCs.

Just saw this on Pro Football Talk: Getty Images The 2021 NFL regular season has come to an end and the 2022 postseason is underway. Four teams remain in the AFC and NFC Championship games this weekend. Teams left in the NFL playoffs include: Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.

Yeah, that makes these tough losses even worse as it’ll be 8 months until they take the field in a regular season game again.

No way! Then Josh will have a significant injury

I was recently thinking that I didn’t recall ever watching a Pats game and thinking “why did Belichick do that?“

It’s not the pass rush, it’s the coverage. To get to the Super Bowl right now, it’s getting past Mahomes throwing to T.Hill and Kelce. As when Brady was on the Pats, you’re not likely to get to Mahomes and if you blitz, he’ll tear the defense to shreds. You have to do more to disrupt the passes to Hill & Kelce and letting them run free while 4 rushers don’t get there was dumb and not going to work. We’ll see what happens on Sunday but Cincinnati with Burrows and those receivers are tough to stop also. Their RB in Dixon is better than what we have and I’d argue that their TE Uzomah is close enough to Knox. The Bills have also shown they can’t beat Tennessee either, Moreno due to being unable to stop Henry. As others have said, fortunately Cinn beat Tennessee which meant we didn’t have to face either of them, but would’ve faced the Bengals if we beat KC. The stars were aligned for us and they blew it! As the late Denny Green famously said “They are who we thought they were and we let’em off the hook!” (Slams fist on lectern) Now, if Denver were to acquire Rodgers or Brady, that could be a 4th tough team we’d have to get by.

Can’t disagree with it’s consideration. Many people believe “13 seconds” cost the team a championship, but even if they won that game, they’d still have to win 2 more. Wide Right had championship at our fingertips until the ghost of Tim Mara pushed that kick wide of its target.

Yeah, I remember reading something about the QBs success throwing at him. Sure he had all of those interceptions but maybe the opportunities had something to do with it.

Jerry Hughes?

Frazier is getting a 2nd interview with the Giants on Friday. You’d think the Giants would be aware of what happened in this game, even if they didn’t watch it. I’d expect that they’d ask him about it to evaluate his decision making. Unless he says it was McD’s decision, I don’t know how he explains it in a positive way. It would be surprising to me if he gets any of the head coaching jobs.

He knew Josh was 9-0 on coin flips and figured they’d win it and get the ball first in OT?

Anger is the second stage of grief.

Another thing that boggles my mind is that the Bills called timeouts before each of those plays in the last 13 seconds. Before the start of the first play, Edmunds, Milano and one of the safeties were 15 yards back from the LOS. The other safety was at the Bills 45, 30 yards from the LOS. Just before the snap, the CBs also moved back close to 15 yards. I think they were scared to have T. Hill get another long TD to win the game. Playing back so far, they were fortunate Hill only got 19 yards. I looked back at the previous Chiefs drive and the Bills had tight coverage, so good that Mahomes couldn’t find anybody open on the first couple plays. Then came the cross that Hill took to the house. Before the 2nd play, the Bills back 7 defenders seemed to have moved up about 5 yards from the previous play. Kelce runs straight ahead between defenders and Milano tries to catch up to him. Luckily Wallace just got a hand on his foot to bring him down. The other Bills defenders then converged. Having now watched that play a bunch of times, the Bills could’ve just grabbed Kelce and the clock would’ve run out. You can’t fault Wallace for making the tackle though. Tony Romo questioned why the Bills were rushing 4. One of them was Addison at left end. He started to rush, then backed up and there were no Chiefs around so his presence was a waste. On such a crucial play, I just don’t get why they didn’t double Kelce and T.Hill. Let them try to beat you with their less talented players going one-on-one. As he often does, Romo saw the play before it happened with how the Bills were lined up and called it.

Yes, both a CB and safety with speed. If Hyde is not brought back when he’s a free agent, take a year to groom his replacement. Might also add a young speedy LB who can also help improve the rush defense. Regarding Edmunds, he does seem to be a poor fit as a MLB in a 4-3. I think he could be a better fit inside or outside in a 3-4 where his slow recognition would be less of an issue. I saw the lowlight of the T.Hill score again. While he ran away from Hyde, Poyer and Wallace, Milano caught him at the goal line.

I remember watching the 2018 draft with friends and another Bills fan standing next to me when the Bills took Allen. Neither of us were too excited about that choice.

I’m sure many of you were also again thinking, with the game Gabe Davis had, why the he!! was he not playing more during the season.

And what the Niners and Cowboys both did back then was draft and hit free agency with beating the other. They would even steal each other’s key free agents. Now, we can say that the Bills did approach their roster construction to beat KC by having LBs that are good in pass coverage but we saw how that unit failed when there were physical opponents who ran the ball well. As has already been frequently mentioned, the defense needs more speed. There aren’t many humans as fast as Tyreek Hill but you have to at least be close. I love our safety tandem but they have shown to be not fast enough. I thought Edmunds was an athletic freak. I didn’t see him running players down from behind much.

Of course he owned it. He repeatedly said “It’s on me.” I respect that more than someone like Arians criticizing Brady’s play.

Same here.

I had visions of Music City Miracle so at the time I was happy it was a touchback. I figured then it would come down to a Hail Mary (which would then bring up memories of Hail Murray). I didn’t even imagine getting 45 yards the way they did in 10 seconds. I’ve watched those plays over several times. The first pass to Hill was executed well by the Chiefs with blockers in front of him and after what he did earlier, the Bills did good to hold him to what he gained. Then, the pass to Kelce was mind boggling. There were 3 Bills in the area and he just easily ran into the middle of them. What kind of defense was that?

Are you new to this planet? There’s many humans lacking humanness and awareness.

Of course, Mahomes could’ve then run it and got a bunch of yards, which would’ve taken time off clock. Just a tough team to defend and IIRC they still had all 3 timeouts.

Maybe another team will make the decision for the Bills. We also don’t know how much McD influenced the late defensive calls. Romo was right questioning why they were rushing four. Even with that, you have 5 O-linemen plus Mahomes, leaving 5 receivers. The Bills had 7 defending the pass. How do you not double Kelce, who had 2 big catches on that late FG drive?
