Postgame Thread DAMMIT!

30 other teams would’ve held on with 13 seconds remaining.  Jags, Jets, Lions, etc.. the prevent did exactly as designed.  prevented them from winning.

No way is this worse than wide left. That was for the title. 

 

Nothing you can do about a missed kick, but there is certainly something you can do to avoid losing when you have the lead with 13 seconds left.

No

idea why they didn’t squib…unreal

Not even necessarily a "squib kick" but just a kick that was short of the end zone forcing a KC return (and running a few of those 13 seconds off the clock)

 

This I agree with. We did it all the time during the regular season. Squib can give up extra yards, could result in same play, but at least try to kick it to the one.

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.

yeah Im aware now of what would have could have been better...doesnt make me feel any better lol

 

**sigh**

Josh Allen played great. It’s easy to blame the d, but remember for like almost 3 qtrs the offense was uneven to say the least, and left the d on the field a ton. I mean the kc offesne was on the field Almost the entire 3rd quarter, and came back to bite us in the end.

 

also, I think the kc skill players are just a tab bit better than ours and have bigger game breaking ability.

Nah. Just a coach who let his players down. 

The coaches really did let their players down. That last 13 seconds of regulation was fatally bad by this staff. The error is shockingly clear. That’s what makes this so dang hard to comprehend.

Fully believe had the Bills won that game, they win the Super Bowl. Just an absolute gut wrenching loss and now we have to wait for half a year to start all over. Go Bengals! Go Rams! Anyone but the Chiefs.

While I tend to agree, Mahomes and the Chiefs are an all time great team.  He, Kelce and Hill with Andy Reid at HC are special.

Spot on. We dealt with Bill, Brady and the Pats...now we're onto the division nemesis

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.

1) The NON squib kick was huge! 
That’s on McD!

 

2) You TACKLE Kelce & The Gangsta! 
TACKLE THEM... BEFORE THEY CATCH ANYTHING!
Every time you do that, it’s 5 seconds minimum!
And there are only TWO of those!

 

Defend one Hail Mary with no time on the clock left!

 

ONE!

 

Is that too much to ask?

 

Once again, McD gets overwhelmed at the most crucial in game time!

Yeah, you can't squander opportunities like that. There are good players coming up in the league-- Burrow, Herbert, etc. You don't know what lies ahead.

 

This was set up for us - Chargers and Colts knocked out in week 18 who are not a great match up, then the Packers and Bucs fall. This was it and we still find a way to mess it up.

 

Jerry Sullivan can direct "embarrassed" to anyone on the coaching staff or defense tonight and deserves more than a scathing response. KC didn't win; we lost.

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.

No matter where the ball went, the offensive players execution was almost a non-existent problem.

This is 20% on situational coaching decisions, and 80% on possibly the worst meaningful Defensive performance we have ever seen as Bills fans.

If we could defend then Josh may have had a chance, but that was seemingly beneath us tonight.

Well, neither team could defend, could they. Coin. Flip.

Missed kicks happen. Losing when you're up by 3 with 13 seconds left is entirely preventable unless you're a complete imbecile.

[london_bills]

We took two timeouts aswell to get it right

[Buffalo Barbarian]

This was the Superbowl, two best teams played tonight, KC wins the Superbowl

I feel just like I did after Home run throwback. We got cheated out of an easy victory by complete stupidity of coaching. 

And just like that year we had a legitimate chance to take the Lombardi....

[ngbills]

We should have rushed two and dropped nine. 3 deep 3 mud and 3 shallow. 

[PetermansRedemption]

Worst loss I’ve ever seen.
