These threads are unbearable after losses

[RiotAct]

This was our year.  Just don’t let them get two huge freaking chunk plays in 13 seconds and we’re going to the Super Bowl.  (There‘s no way we were losing the AFC Championship Game at home to Cinci).

 

I know, I know. For the 57th year consecutive… “there’s always next year!”

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.  

 

yeah, shutting down stuff you disagree with?  

Congrats on convincing yourself that you’re important enough to be a victim of cancel culture.

 

Because it’s definitely not that you’re weirdly aggressive with absolutely poop takes that add very little to the conversation.

Folks gotta vent somewhere.

Vent .. fine .. do so with an ounce of logic. This is all cancel culture crap. Fire McDermott is laughable

[Lionel Hutz]

Better that people have a place like this to vent their frustration than venting it in a way that could harm someone or something else in real life. Be mad tonight. This loss was tough for everyone here. You’ll wake up tomorrow and life will go on.

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....

Talking is great … I agree a mistake was made .. but does that negate 5 years of great football. Let’s fire everyone says all losing organizations

problem is, there isn't always next year.   I'm sure the Dolphins thought they would eventually beat us after getting to the SB in Marino's rookie year.  Never happened again.

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.  

 

Offense needs a couple more tools and the defense needs a killer on the line. This is the current window and to me this really felt like the year to get it done. I assume it's open with 17 for a while. The loss sucks but let's trust the guys that have provided the elite level of football we have. Beane needs to kill it this off-season. Lots of coaches and players changing. Add that to the first place schedule and we're in for a battle next year. Not to mention the emergence of Burrows and Herbert.

 losing in the playoffs, similar to 90's Dolphins.  I agree not fire everyone, but Frazier's D's have been bad for the last 2 years, and Bean--while he won't be fired, had better nail this draft and offseason.  Because we are so close, right now, and Bean failed this past offseason.

yep, exactly.  I was saying that tongue-in-cheek.

 

Conventional wisdom says we should be a contender as long as we have Allen, but… you never know.

100% agree.  Esp. with Bean.  He added NOTHING from last year's team, and look at the result.  He adds nothing again and he should be gone. Frankly, I'd ditch him now, but one more try, okay.

Me too. I think after a few days we'll feel better and realize how amazing this game was. Honestly, it'll probably be better than the superbowl

Doom scrolling is all one can do in this situation.  

[BigDingus]

Disagree. People have every right to be upset.

 

Feel like McDermott & Leslie Frazier owe us an apology for how that final 1.5 mins & OT went.

 

13 seconds left - 
 

*No Squib kick, no chance of return... just a touchback to preserve as much clock as possible

*Put your guys in prevent, defending the sidelines when the Chiefs have 3 timeouts

*Decide not to just rush 3 & drop everyone else into coverage...

 

Why? You knew they had to pass, why not do everything you can to defend it?

 

Instead, Chiefs easily march right into FG range with little effort & no resistance... using only 10 seconds of game time.

 

Yeah, fans have every right to be upset.

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

The Sabres are horrible and watching them is like being in a crawl space you only want to be there for so long before you go get some fresh air.

The defense never carried this team. Thats a bad take. The overrated defense took advantage of backup and rookie qb's with piss poor offenses. Offense carried this team 

Everybody plays some crappy teams .. losing Tre was crushing but they still were #1 D … fine with an asterisk of maybe some was the result of some of the teams we played. KCs defense got torched as well. Any D was going to look bad against Josh and Mahomes tonight

So you’ll just pull a random stat about one QB who didn’t go back to a Super Bowl?

 

How many years did it take Manning, Elway and Brees to win Super Bowls?

We sucked for 17 years. By November we were strategizing on draft picks …

 

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 is a way for people to vent... don't like it then...

yeah i don't agree with firing anyone. I do kinda hope both coordinators are gone next year so we can get a bit of a refresh. McD will be fine. Hes a good couch and will learn from this. the 4th down tries i loved. hes getting some guts. just has to fine tweak some things and all will be good.
