This is the  Manning Colts vs Brady Pats all over again. I just pray we win more then the Colts did 

More? I’d be happy if we just won as much as the Colts did.

We only have a few more years with a running Josh Allen. When he hits 28+ no chance he’s running like this.

 

need to go all in next year

Yeah your right.  He can’t throw so once his legs go, he just won’t be good anymore.

[Bing Bong]

Great thread, I wanted to say the same thing.

 

Shoot the Milwaukee Bucks just recently had a 2 time MVP superstar, and 4-5 playoff bounces early with a top league record.

 

Took them some painful losses to learn how to make a run in the post season. 2021 champs. 

 

Mahomes had to lose to Brady just like JA did just now.

We built a team to beat KC this year, and again came up short.

 

Josh and the offense balled out ... defense failed

These losses are TOUGH. But we have one of the best the league has ever seen in Allen.  

 

Keep believing, Bills fans.  

 

True. They also fired their coach and hired Phil Jackson, no?

 A huge dimension of his current game will decrease as his career goes on. He’s in the prime of that now. Need to pounce on the chance before it’s too late.

Ah yes let the excuses roll in

 

What's it gonna be next year when the same ***** happens?

 

they have to get back to this stage next year..

 

Let's not sugarcoat it... They let a great opportunity for a championship slip through their fingers tonight

They needed OT this year, at least.

 

The teams are neck & neck.  It came down to a coin toss.

Did the Knicks ever beat the bulls?

Not really. They beat the Jordan less Bulls in the ECF to lose to Olajuwon's Rockets in the finals

When Allens big bucks kicks in yes the window shortens. We will always be in the playoffs but will always be hard to have that complete team. Basketball has 5 players on the court. 

 

 

So Mahomes with the largest contract in the NFL, Chiefs Super Bowl window should be about closed.  Bengals might have 3 years left then.  Why do teams pay QB’s a lot when they should just pay mid level QB’s for mid level play…it clearly works.

So are we the Bulls or the Knicks?

Yep.  That's why this is hard.  We had the Bengals at home next week - no disrespect to them, but we likely get to the SB if we could have just held on tonight.

I can’t believe you are legitimately saying Allen at 28 will basically be going down hill.

[PetermansRedemption]

If you couldn’t get it done tonight with 13 seconds, you aren’t getting it done. This year was the set up. This was the year.

His running ability won’t be where it is now.

They had Phil Jackson. We have choke artist McDermott. Big difference. 

 

McDermott was garbage in Philly and is garbage in Buffalo.

Basketball is not comparable to football. Superbowl windows are short. We blew a big chance at one this year 

It wasn’t a short window  for Brady.
 

And Allen is hands down the best QB in the league. He simply does that things routinely that no other QB can. Mahomes is very close in that regard so it will at least be a challenge to get to the super bowl consistently. But AFC championship game damn near every year with Allen should be expected for the next 10 years.

 

Oh, and Allen is only getting better too. He’s not close to his prime as a passer. He’ll hit that in another 3-4 years or so.

The Bulls fired their coach after their first two playoff series losses to the Pistons and didn’t start winning championships until Phil Jackson became their head coach. So possibly history would repeat itself if another coach took us over the hump for this comparison.

O-line finally jelled late. Defense failed. Tough to play defense when you're saddled with a garbage LB like Edmunds. No instincts ... He's always a yard away from the play and just standing here
