Postgame Thread DAMMIT!

Losing in the playoffs always hurts.  Losing when a win gives the Bills an excellent chance to win the Super Bowl makes the loss absolutely awful.  This could have been the year, and who knows if they will be this good in the years to come.

The future is bright with Allen and this offense.   

 

We probably said that with Jim Kelly. How many Super Bowls did we win?

[par73]

I haven't felt this way since home run throwback. And I thought they could have won the SB that year, too.

I guess this is worse than music City Miracle.

 

 

I think that was better because it was one play. Less emotional jerking about

[Pabstblueribbon]

I'm dying.

 

Might need a sip of water after that one.

 

... and by "water" mean any light beer within reach

The decision to not squib kick that kickoff lost is the game. Full stop.

They would of been better off with an onside kick. LOL

[BuffaloBaumer]

I hate these coaches so ***** much, Buffalo will never ever win with that group, ever.

Where does this rank among the most heartbreaking losses in Bills history? Just below Wide Right and just above the Music City Miracle? 

 

The worst loss I have witnessed as a Bills fan and I have been a Bills fan since 1982.

 

I can't explain it, but this one is downright bad.

Their thinking was don't kick it to Tyreek Hill but I think the percentage chance of him breaking one is lower than the chances of Mahomes with two throws and all his time outs getting into range.

 

Was a poor decision. 

 

If you squib it, Hill doesn't touch the ball.

My 8 year old cried just like I did after the first superbowl.

My buddy texted me congrats and I said “this is not over! This is the Buffalo Bills we’re talking about here.” Damn.

Im asking again what would you have done? I dont understand the criticism

Squib kick it .......... run off 3 or 4 seconds.  They get the ball with ten seconds left and have to go 50 yards.  Now they can run one play tops because if they run another play with less than 5 seconds the clock runs out without ever kicking.

And we would have if our coaches didn't suck. Sqib kick = 4 secs. Rush 3 and cover Kelce. So now we've list every one score game this year.

Was shocked they kicked it deep. That last 13 seconds was an embarrassment to defensive football. We let them off the hook. It was right there for us. And we let it go. 

[mjd1001]

What phrase will bring more dread to Buffalo sports fans decades from now?

 

"No goal"

 

"Music city Miracle"  Or....

 

"13 seconds"?

[Chicken Boo]

Just want to point out that Diggs was open on several plays, but Josh looked elsewhere.  Davis more than made up for Diggs "lack of production".

 

It should have been over after the last TD with :13 left.

what should have happened:

1 - squib kick

2 - double hill and kelce

3 - win

 

What actually happened:

1 - Gift Mahomes an extra 5 or so seconds

2 - play 0 or 1 coverage on hill and kelce

3 - lose

 

The decision making by the coaches in that 13 second span was really, really bad. The players did everything needed to win.

[Billz4ever]

Sad to say, but loses like this is what I've come to expect. Even when they scored with 13 seconds left, I didn't have a good feeling. 

 

That they somehow found a way to lose this game did not surprise me at all.  This team is cursed. 

[billieve420]

Team needs to stop playing scared and afraid to lose. I think that Hill catch and run TD forced them to be way too conservative. Still hate they didn’t try to run some clock by kicking short or going for a squib kick.

Oh, you mean the one guy on the defense that actually made tackles when given the chance?

 

That guy?

 

There were a lot of issues out there tonight and Edmunds was the towards the bottom. When he attempted to tackle a Chief, the Chief went down and backward.

 

The issue was our d-line couldn't get to Mahomes and our d-backfield became gassed.

I agree ... the whole defense failed tonight. But they're only playing with 10 guys because Edmunds is ALWAYS a yard away from the play.

No shame in that loss. None whatsoever. A missed opportunity...we'll get em next year.

No we won’t. Not with this team.
