Bills should have been holding with 13 seconds left to kill clock for minimum penalty!

Coaches aren’t smart enough to play that game

Maybe.

We let them tie the game in 13 seconds. Against most other thinking defensive coordinators, the game is over outside of a miracle hail Mary.  

 

Instead, we have the Bills, who leave pro bowl tight ends wide open to catch the ball and put the in fg range.  The game was over and the D play calling/execution 100% undeniably choked. 

[dakrider]

I'll have to pick KC to beat LA in SB, Rams make to many mistakes to win it.

 

But for this game, don't forget the awful play calling most of the first half.  All these runs and 2 yard swing passes, many were designed plays and Allen didn't look downfield at all.  Only when they got down did Bills finally unleash Allen and he delivered.  The defense was so confused the last qtr and OT that every guy Mahomes threw to was wide open.

I'm willing to bet most teams in the league don't leave pro bowl tight ends wide open to get in Fg range with 13 secs. This was a defensive play calling blunder just like the decision to kick it deep instead of eating some clock. 

I know why not play your regular defense, that playing scared cost us the game playing 20 yards off lol unbelievable

Interesting comment by McD during presser...when asked a question about a squib kick, he mentioned execution vs the special teams play call...did Bass just kick it too deep instead of popping up the kickoff??

And they were right - mostly.  After 1989 the Bills went to 4 straight Super Bowls which was and still is an amazing accomplishment.  And given how the league is different today in favoring the passing game and IMO Allen is a better QB then HOF Jim the Bills future looks very bright.  Not sure how you can see it differently even after the gut punch of tonight's loss.

 

 

 

Four Super Bowls - how many wins?

Hughes, Edmonds, and Frazier should pack their bags.

Don't forget Addison .............. he didn't even register on the stat sheet today but I promise you 97 was out there doing nothing most of the game.

[Norcalbillsfan]

Gentlemen today was a rough day. But without a doubt the entire nfl saw josh allen tonight and said "*****" we have bright future Gentlemen

Anybody notice Edmunds takes

off to his right as Mahomes chucks it to Perriman on his left? Maybe coming across to find Kelce. 
 

I get the sense that McD gives his coordinators the freedom to pass and fail. His presser is super short when talking about the decision on that kick.  Curious if that came from Farwell and McD isn’t throwing it on him.

Epanesa is wasted space. The others are developing and have potential. Look at Oliver now. He is playing much better and it took him a couple of years to develop. 

I love Oliver and Harry and Addison plays hard, but Hughes 

Epenesa and the corners are bad.

Oh, I definitely see Allen as being better than Mahomes. You switch weapons and Allen would put up 50 points tonight and not have to truck defenders to donit.

 

Mahomes does magical things, I agree... but when you consider Allen can match him throw for throw... AND he's built like a linebacker with a cannon for an arm... can truck grown mean when he has to... I'll take Allen.

 

So glad too... he finally helped me move beyond the jealousy of that traded draft pick.

[Nextmanup]

McDermott refusing to answer questions substantively about the final 13 seconds of the game and a series of critical decisions made by the coaching staff.

 

Not a good look IMO.

People saying this was the "worst" loss are suffering from recency bias. It's behind Wide Right in Super Bowl 25) and the illegal forward lateral in Tennessee. It's a little bit worse than the 1989 Ronnie Harmon dropped pass in the endzone or the other Super Bowls (in which the Bills were clearly beaten). It's definitely worse than last year's AFC championship game loss. Other playoff or regular season games need not apply. 

 

Are there still people that say it was a forward lateral? It's been 20 years, it's okay to admit it was legal and just another bad coaching error.

For us old people, I hope that this is not a repeat of the Pittsburgh/Houston rivalry in the 1970s.

 

Nah.

 

This is more New England v. Indy. We'll get KC next season. It's only a matter of time. Get Allen a couple more weapons and hope our d-line develops and the Bills will have a Championship soon.

And Gabe Davis.  What a show. 

 

It's a shame someone had to lose this game.  Both teams lit it up.

Agreed!

 

Told my wife last week was the most perfect game I have ever seen and this week was the craziest.

 

Josh Allen and the offense played amazing, defense were shown their weaknesses.  Which honestly we kind of knew.  No pro-bowlers mean we lack that "IT" factor like Josh Allen on offense.

 

Hopefully we get one for next season.

It was very similar to the Pats victory over KC in 2018 and the Pats OT victory over the Falcons in the SB. In both cases and tonight, the defense had nothing left and was gassed so the coin toss wins the game.  You would think the NFL would change the OT rules but they are more conservative about rule changes than the Catholic church.

I can understand in regular season, but in the playoffs it’s crap.

Fair enough. Allen was unreal and its incredibly disappointing right now. I see it as a Brady/Manning thing. Both elite. 

[PromoTheRobot]

For those saying the Bills should have squibbed it. Consider this.

 

Say the Bills squib the kickoff. Clock doesn't start until a KC player touches it. An up man at the 40 fields the squib kick and kneels it out. 1 second off the clock, so 12 seconds are left. Still time for two plays, except now instead of the 25, the Chiefs are at their 40.

 

Squibbing was no guarantee of winning if we could give up enough yards for a FG on two plays.

Outside of wide right, this hurts the most. Leslie Frazier just lost the Super Bowl tonight with prevent defense. Way to let a whole city down with your incompetence
