IMO, it is to be expected, this was a painful loss. It takes some testicular fortitude to be on this board on a night like tonight.

we now have gone to the playoffs 4 of 5 years. we have a superstar quarterback, a very solid defense that carried this team most of the year - and anytime we lose TBD spews more hate at our team than the network talking heads. Enjoy what should be a tremendous number of years. It has been a great ride and look forward to where we are headed … GO BILLS. 
 

 

This isn’t any normal loss. This is one of the most gut wrenching losses ever. Up by 3 with 13 seconds left and you lose the game. It’s definitely not going to be pleasant in here. 

[Evian]

Unbearable? The Bills just experienced the worst loss by any team in any sport. EVER. 

 

This makes the loss to the Giants in the Superbowl look like nothing.

 

How do you blow a lead like that? Textbook squib kick and keep all the receivers in front of you. GAME OVER.

 

That loss is beyond inexcusable. This team will never recover. The only solution is to fire the head coach and DC. They are never winning a championship with dumb and dumber on the coaching staff.

After a game like this, do you expect everyone to just say how thankful we are for being able to get to this point? Serious?

Talk after a game, threads like this....talk after a big win, that is the REASON message boards and social media exist.

If you prefer this forum to be a "Go Bills Go" Bills Booster Club, and nothing more, simply walk away from the forum at a time like this, as MANY kool aid drinking regulars here do routinely.

 

Look at the notable names nowhere near this forum right now! 

 

LOL

 

 

Kook Aid regular reporting for duty.

Mods are working overtime after a really tough loss. 
 

Thanks for putting together a great place to talk Bills (most of the time)

People need to deal with what they're feeling. That's why you see it get like this. Sure, with context, we had a solid year. We also just missed the best chance we had at winning a SB since Wide Right and lost a playoff game in the most excruciating way since MCM, so it's not like this is just a run of the mill. This will go down in Bills lore. Further and I'm sure others exist in this camp, but what is the takeaway from this? Last year we had a takeaway. How do we beat the Chiefs? How are the Chiefs not a step even closer to becoming the Patriots for us just on the biggest stage? I don't have a silver lining right now and saying things like we used to suck so we should be thankful or a few weeks ago we never thought we would even win a game. Those don't really work as silver linings a year removed from an AFC championship appearance and blowing a lead with 13 seconds.

Definitely terrible here but BILLS Mafia on FB is way worse

I'd rather live here and have a chance every year. But this year did feel special. Overtime maybe should play there 15 minutes in the playoffs.

[GunnerBill]

A lot of people who can only react emotionally I'm afraid.  

[78thealltimegreat]

People have a right to vent chances are if we hold for 13 freaking seconds we win the super bowl this year as none of the other teams are in the Bills class let people vent this defense which the bills have spent a ton of money and draft picks on failed spectacularly 

[IronyAbounds]

Honestly, what do you expect? People to just keep clapping?

You have to expect that. If you can't handle it you should probably stay off for a couple of days.

 

I often do take a hiatus for a day or two after a loss. It's a good decision, usually.

 

why, because analyzing games without rose colored glasses is too hard?  The reality of the NFL is you need multiple superstars to win.  We have ONE.  our D is a disaster and has been most of the year against good teams.  We can't put a complete 60 min game together.  It's a problem and I think it stems from personnel.  NO impact players on front 7, and only really Allen and WR's on offense.  In a conference with Mahomes, Herbert, and Burrow, we won't be winning many playoff games unless Bean is gone. 

[Big Blitz]

We were beating the Texans by 2 TDs in the 4th quarter if I recall.

 

Yep.

 

Let's keep running it back D!

having a franchise QB gives you a chance.  It's wonderful after the last 17 years.  But it's going to get very infuriating if Bean can't figure out how to build a D that can stop other teams, esp. in crunch time.  Otherwise, we won't win a single thing.  

[Sargent Hulka]

It's a tradition. I remember when the Chiefs beat us 31-7 in 1966, at War Memorial, to go to the first Super Bowl. We pretty much sucked from then until '73, when we had OJ, the Electric Company, and Lou Saban back. Since '65, it seems like 25 year cycles until we challenge again. So, go ahead and vent!

Bean failed miserably on this D.  Total failure, and failure by Frazier to go into prevent.  I'd make the D take a bus home.  They failed the team.

And honestly, look at the Pegula’s with the Sabres. Changing of the guard should be terrifying for everybody in Buffalo.

So its cool we blew a lead with 13 seconds left? its unheard of in football outside of a kickoff return like music city miracle... The defensive gameplan was ***** and it should be talked about. the special teams play to not squib to kill some clock should also be discussed. This should have been a W and the bills hosting afc championship. IT doesnt mean much to casual fans i suppose, but to us die hard bleed red white and blue bills fans it means a ton. Sure we will be back for years to come but no one should be ok with this loss....
