Are we over-reacting to the 13 seconds?

Ask me on Sunday night.

We don't get a lot of quotes from "Maud Muller" around here.

Well done!

I think LA would have been a challenge. Their DL against the Bills OL. Their offense against the Bills defense. I am not saying the Bills couldn't win but it would have been a tough game. If it was SF in the Super Bowl then I definitely think the Bills win but we will never know.

 

Indeed but i think the Chiefs were the hardest matchup for us bc they know the Bills so well. I would've been more confident playing the Rams. Stafford is no Mahomes.

I'll never ever watch a single highlight of that game AGAIN. And it's a damn shame too.

But Donald and Miller on defense are way better than what the Chiefs have. While Stafford is no Mahomes he is good enough and the Rams have a lot of weapons on offense. It would have been a good game with the crowd probably 75-80% Bills fans.

I only watch until 13 seconds.

I can't even do that. 13 seconds ruined everything. I will be pissed about this loss at least until the Bills are in the playoffs (probably next year) and ready to make another run.

I look at it different. I witnessed potentially Josh Allen becoming the best QB in the NFL.

True but the ending is so painful. If they would have won then I would watch the game many times in the offseason.

I know but not because of Allen. We lost that game thinking we have the best QB in the NFL. That means we're going to be back.

There are no guarantees. I am sure Dolphins fans thought they were going back with Marino and we saw how that played out. I do think the Bills will eventually get to and win a Super Bowl with Allen but me saying that means nothing. Hopefully next year is our year.

I believe a lot of fans of different teams along with some of your casual viewers that saw that game think so too

Back to the playoffs.  Even this year there was no guarantee we beat Cincinnati.

That would have been a tough game as well. The Bengals offense probably would have scored a lot. I just think Allen at home would have led the Bills to a high scoring win over them.

if Cincy beats the Rams, it wouldn't mean that the Bills would've done it also.  just like how Cincy was able to figure out a coverage to slow down the Chiefs and we didn't.  i tend to think the Rams will spank the Bengals, but IF the upset happens, we can't draw conclusions from it, and it wouldn't make 13 seconds any worse.  it's bad enough already.

Watched an Emmanuel Sanders interview on Cowherd's show today.  With 13 seconds to go, the offensive guys thought it was won.  He said after the game, he was sitting in the lockerrom in a circle with Allen, Diggs and Gabe Davis.  They were just staring off into space, in silence.  No one could speak. They wanted someone to wake them from the nightmare they were experiencing.  Couldn't believe it was real.  If he does play anymore,  he said he'd like to play for Buffalo but is still trying to decide on his future.

Bills put 35 on that Rams defense last year (minus Von Miller) and absolutely torched the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL in the 1st round. I think Josh would've torched them, but I guess we'll never know because of 13 seconds.

For me, its hard to predict sometimes when there is a two week preparation win dow for the game as we have with Super Bowl. However I do think we have a great chance to beat LA Rams if we were the ones playing in Super Bowl. I will be rooting for Cincinnati Bengals to win but I think they're going to lose. I don't think their Line is going to hold up and I also think that they will have trouble stopping Odell Beckham Jr. and Cooper Cupp. Those two WR are tailor made for Matt Stafford style of play.

Wasn't Burrow sacked around 10 times by the Titans. To me how the Bengals OL holds up will tell if this is a close game or a blowout.  I am also rooting for the Bengals but I do think the Rams will win.

I agree - every game is match-ups, and the way we match up to the Rams could be completely different.

 

But if the Rams D-line dictates the game like I think they will, I might feel a little better.  I don't think we would have matched up well against that, or against the Rams WR's.
