Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Had they done their job and beaten the Chiefs, we'd all be trying to figure out how to get SB tickets right now!!! I mean, you let Chad "F'ing" Henne beat you?!?!?!? Pathetic! Maybe our game plan was already set to play Cleveland and they had to modify it?? 🤪 2 1 4 8 2 1
TheCockSportif Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 If there's any team who you cannot rely on to beat the Chiefs in the 2020 season, or really any stout competition, it's Cleveland. I'm about to sign off until the 2021 draft, but I had no illusions that anybody but the Bills had the strongest chance of knocking the Chiefs out.
Michael1962 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 It strikes me as odd that if the Bills are the better team then why was Cleveland in the game against the Chiefs? I guess it is any given Sunday and/or a matchup issue? Why do other teams seem to play their A game against us? OK, I will stop whining.

The Browns can run the ball and get QB pressure with their front four better than the Bills. That helped them stay in the game. If that receiver ( I forget who) didn't fumble the ball at the goal line the Bills might have played the Browns. 2
Success Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 We're a better team than Cleveland - but they have a better defense. I'm old school, so buy into the old adage that defense wins championships. We were too one-dimensional to win the SB without some real luck. I think the Bucs would have been a bad match-up for us. Part of me is actually a little relieved - I want the team to have just a little more balance when we finally do make it to the last game. 1 1
BillsfaninSB Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I blame the Steelers. I still think the Ravens would have given the Chiefs a very tough game. 4 3 2
brianthomas Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Whats it say that Cleveland looked better against the Chiefs than we did?

It is entirely possible that Cleveland could have beaten KC given Mahomes' exit from the game in the 3rd quarter...and then we Bills fans would very likely be talking about the SB, and we wouldn't be talking about how we must totally revamp our lineup to be able to take down KC in a head-to-head showdown next year. It would be great if another team could emerge in the AFC who somehow develops a knack for matching up very well against KC...let them do our dirty business for us...and then we can focus on that team next. Works for me; as does a season ending injury to Mahomes next year, should he happen to get one. It's not a given that our road to the SB goes through KC next year. 1
First Round Bust Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 ok...you want some pain young man oh I will give you pain...we go to Super Bowl...and we loose to Brady..on a missed field goal...this time wide left...oh the humanity...
Kwai San Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I place the blame where it is deserved and has been admitted too. The Bills had to play a 110% perfect game. They didn't, hell they couldn't with what the receivers situation was. Bottom line they got outplayed and outcoached. 1
Jerry Jabber Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I’d rather the Bills lose in the AFCCG instead of going to the Super Bowl and losing to Tom Brady. After four consecutive losses in the Super Bowl, I don’t want to see the Bills lose a fifth. Losing the way they did, while painful to all of us now, gives McBeane the opportunity to address the Bills weaknesses and hopefully closes the gap on the Chiefs for next season. 3

Maybe you missed the part where Mahomes got hurt and Henne came in and immediately threw a bad INT that allowed Cle to get back into the game? End of the day, Cleveland couldn't keep moving the chains when it mattered...just like us. We stalled multiple times in the Redzone, an area we excelled in all year. We would start moving the ball and then all of a sudden they would lock down all our receivers a couple plays in a row and stall our drive. We don't miss the XP and convert in the Redzone for a TD before the half, and this is an entirely different game. People look at the final score and yet miss just how close we were to making this game a dog fight to the end. Honestly, Daboll looked totally unprepared for the defensive looks the Chiefs gave us. There is a reason he felt the need to apologize to some of our guys because he was out coached Sunday the Chiefs DC. We all know KC offense is going to score points, to be competitive with them we have to score too when we have our opportunities. The missed XP was further compounded when McD mistakenly decides to go for 2 and doesnt get it making it a 3 score game instead of a 2 score game (16) if he had just kicked the XP. 3

Just as the road didn't always go through NE during their Brady led dynasty!

Watching both games last Sunday, it's pretty clear that the Bills would have been humiliated in the SB if they were somehow able to pull off a miracle (or play the Browns) in the AFCCG. 1 1

The Chargers have a talented roster. Justin Herbert looks like the real at QB. With the good coaching I could see them giving the Chiefs a good battle for the division
Big Gun Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 It's always somebody else fault, right! There was no guarantees the Bills would have beat the Browns. By all rights they should have lost to the Colts, the Ravens were a couple yards from tying up the game until Lamars bonehead decision. At 10-10 game, was it a guarantee the Bills beat the Ravens? They really didn't play well in the playoffs, the Bills coaching was very suspect, and if they would have played the Browns and lost, you would have blamed the Chiefs, right!

We should base our offseason on praying that other teams can do our job for us. 👍🏻

I don’t think the Ravens would’ve had a shot vs. the Chiefs, however, the Ravens D may have been able to rough up a few of the Chiefs offensive players(Kelce, Hill) enough to miss the Bills game, or at least play hurt or ineffectively in the game. That would’ve given the Bills a better chance to win.
