How many other chances will a Bills team have when they are statistically ranked high in all categories, fantastic QB, hardly any injuries...would have to beat the Bengals at home then Stafford/Garrapolo.  KC and Mahomes at Arrowhead are way tougher than any of those 3 teams. 

This game will leave a scar for sure.  Not sure how the Bills overcome this next season when the AFC East could be harder and the schedule is tough..  Who knows about injuries, etc..

 

Just a lost opportunity that Buffalo will never get back (thanks D). People like to say Mahomes/Allen is the best new QB rivalry but it's not really a rivalry if only one guy wins the playoff matchups.  I know the Bills will be a factor for a few more years but man, no guarantees.  I hope Allen's body doesn't break down over time before we can get a Championship. He deserves it.  We deserve it.

Based on the layout of the Division … with all 3 of the others teams in a somewhat different stages of rebuilding/re-tooling/youth movement…Buffalo should at least be the favorite for the Division the next 2 seasons…

 

But, yes…when it comes to the Conference…that window is narrowing every second due to the overall talent of the other AFC QBs.

 

Mahomes is still lurking.  Burrow has arrived.  Herbert is nearly there.  Lamar (and the Ravens when healthy) is a danger.

 

Thats not to mention that DeShaun Watson may well end up on an AFC Team AND Aaron Rodgers could be QB of pick (Broncos, Steelers, Dolphins, Browns).

 As long as 17 is taking the field we will be the favorite in the division for the next 10-12 years. He was an absolute monster in the playoffs this year. Probably the best QB play through the first 2 rounds of the playoffs ever.

 

 48/62  77.4 Comp% for 637 yards 9 TDs 0 INTs QB Rating 148.99 and another 134 yards rushing on 17 carries(7.88 YPC). 

 

 If only we had something that resembled a defense yesterday......

This is what kills me, the Super Bowl was gift wrapped for the Bills if we just won this game. The Bengals? Really? Probably the Rams? It's never going to get easier than that and we blew it. Might as well give the Chiefs the trophy now. 

 

I won't even turn on the Chiefs/Bengals game.  I'm disgusted.  Yeah it's probably another SB trophy for Mahomes.

AFC is loaded with QB Talent. JA has arrived. No more hero ball.

We will be a force for next 10+ years.

Need to be more consistent through out the year and get HOME FIELD!

Losing games like Pittsburgh and Jacksonville has to stop - if you want to be champions you can't do stupid stuff like losing those games

This team played well on the road all season. But the defense in an environment like Arrowhead against a fully loaded KC offense,,, they weren't up for the challenge in crunch time.  Homefield would have been nice.

Bills fans should be pulling for Mahomes from here on out.  These two are in the early stages of an epic rivalry, and the more combined success they have the greater their legacies will be.  Both are going to win rings. The only question is how many.

Bengals/Rams games would probably have looked a lot like the Bills/Chiefs game.

 

Defense would have no answers for either opposing offense…Allen would have to put up 350-450 total yards and 3-4 TDs

 

And then maybe you win it in the final seconds or maybe you lose it.

They probably beat the Bengals but the Rams would have been a tough game. I realize they almost gave the game away yesterday but they have a lot stars on both sides of the ball. The Bills could beat the Rams but it wouldn't be a cakewalk. Who's to say LA makes it as SF has had their number over the past few years

But, as someone else said, the success is only one sided. It isn’t very fun when only one side enjoys the spoils.

I get it, but Allen is 25 years old.  He’s a force of nature, and he’s going to get his.  If you can stomach it, there’s a thread on the Chiefs board titled f*** Josh Allen that actually gives some perspective on just how good KC fans think he is.  This is the new Brady/Manning.  I just hope they can both stay health for another 20 years or so.

I can't pull for Mahomes and KC.  But if winning another SB takes the edge off the Chiefs hunger over the next year or two I'll consider it.

After the game I called my 89 year old mother to make sure she was OK.  She was crying.

She asked me "Why can't the Bills win one?  The other one's (Chiefs) already have one".

I didn't have an answer for her.

 

Her empathy for Josh Allen was so touching I teared up.  After the call I turned off my phone.

 

Edit:  @Long Suffering Fan  Thank you and your board name says it all today.
