John from Riverside Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Our D literally could not stop them.....I didnt know we were going to lose but when it went into overtime I was quietly hoping for a loss just to get rid of Rex and his defense

mob16151 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Is anyone surprised when Buffalo snatches defeat from the jaws of victory?
Dorkington Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Is anyone surprised when Buffalo snatches defeat from the jaws of victory? Nope. I have a feeling our record in close games over the last 16 years is pretty miserable.
mob16151 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Nope. I have a feeling our record in close games over the last 16 years is pretty miserable. I'm too lazy to look it up,but I suspect your right.
Dragonborn10 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 The Bush play is such an odd call at that time. Five rushes by McCoy/Gillislee and they are in the end-zone. The dolphins were playing the edge ok. They were kiling them between the guard-tackle ot tackle -TE gaps. Too cute. They could have run the same stop route to Watkins again for 15 yards. And if they ran the fake option with Watkins running underneath, either Woods or Goodwin would have been wide open over the top. One fake hitch to Watkins and the safeties would have bitten with Goodwin streaking by them.
Marty McFly Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I started doing the math. The first thing that really got me upset was Tyrod running out of bounds on third and goal on our go-ahead possession. Just another showing of a complete lack of awareness. meh watever. He scored the TD and gave us the lead with a minute and a half left. Its not TTs fault the defense couldnt stop the fins with the game on the line.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 I absolutely thought we would win. You haven't been a Bills Fan long enough. Take away 1997-2001 and this rarely, if ever happens (unless it was the f'king SuperBowl where we shat the bed 4 years in a row) I've been following this team like a rabid dog for over 45 years and it is horrendously painful. We have been the inventors of finding new ways to lose when victory seemed assured at least 200 times in my Bills lifetime.
KOKBILLS Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Nothing against anyone here of course...But I don't see how any Bills fans could think we will win any game until well after the clock has expired...I always give myself 5-10 minutes after a win thinking there's still a chance they could call us back out to the field for some made up crap...
Tu-Toned Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I wouldn't say I knew,but I certainly wasn't surprised Ditto this!
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 that we were going to lose after Clay caught the TD pass with a little over a minute left. I wasn't sure how we would !@#$ up I just knew we would. Typical Bills football. At least 4 games we could have easily won with just playing basic fundamental football. This team is so disgusting to watch. I got sick of listening to the announcers defend Rex and tell us how the Bills came to play hard. That many missed tackles is just plain sucky football. I knew we would lose before the game. I thought maybe we can do this when came back but I knew deep we would find a way to lose. It was funny, the guy in front of me was like c'mon man get excited and I said we haven't won yet, then he gave me that look like "yeah you're right".

One fake hitch to Watkins and the safeties would have bitten with Goodwin streaking by them. 1997, the Bills are driving to a winning score in OT when Dan Henning calls an inexplicable reverse to Andre Reed in OT that cost the Bills the game. Terrell Davis had trampled the Bills D for around 200 yards on the ground that day. We have reached the point where we have seen even the bizarre failures more than once.

Hadn't thought of this but you're on to something.....thanks for giving me another reason to not to enjoy the few wins the team gets....

We were good in the 60s and the 90s so every thirty yrs we are good so almost there when the 2020s hit

Yup. Remember the comeback game against the Raiders a few years ago? It was the week after our only legitimate victory against the Patriots since 2003. The Raiders just missed a hail mary to Denarius Moore at the end of regulation to win the game. The call was an incomplete pass. The players shook hands and went to the locker room, post-game had started and then they cut to the sideline reporter talking about how the refs were discussing whether it was actually a catch a good 5-10 mins after the final whistle and whether the players would have to come back out. Don't remember that ever happening before or since.

Aren't you the CEO of the koolaid drinkers here? You jump all over anyone who has a critical word to say about the organization and then you say you're "quietly" rooting for them to fail in the biggest game of the year. The team was still alive in the playoff race. And would have been going into week 17 with the way things shaped up this weekend. What kind of fan hopes for a loss in a game like that? Anyway, you got your wish. Congrats. ..and on top of that, you stop the clock, and then call a timeout. If you didn't score a TD on that 4th down play. You damn sure would've needed all 3 of those timeouts. Another immensely stupid error by Rex that got forgotten because they got the TD. Seriously, this fat bastard can't be gone soon enough.
KD in CA Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 No Bills loss, no matter the circumstances, could ever surprise me.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I started doing the math. The first thing that really got me upset was Tyrod running out of bounds on third and goal on our go-ahead possession. Just another showing of a complete lack of awareness. This was the play that killed us.

Its not TTs fault the defense couldnt stop the fins with the game on the line. That attitude reminds me of all the people here who couldn't care less how many unsportsmanlike penalties Stevie Johnson got. The lack of basic situational awareness and understanding that the game is 60 minutes long (not 58 1/2) prevails at OBD from top to bottom and explains why they are a loser franchise. The point is, if the QB has a clue, the defense isn't put in that position. No one is ever accountable for stepping up on this team.
