Taylor made McDumbass look like a child. Embarrassing defensive scheme for over 5 years. Absolutely no offensive identity with your deer in the headlights OC. Team wasn't even remotely prepared. And watch, no changes will happen. Status Quo.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I think we’re all starting to realize last year WAS “the window.” 13 seconds is inching closer and closer to wide right. My biggest emotion right now is frustration that we’re literally wasting the talents of a truly generational QB. Good news? 17 years from now is 2040. Nice round number.

BullBuchanan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 1 hour ago, BuffaloBaumer said: I barely feel any pain today knowing that the opponent was FAR superior yesterday. After the 13 seconds happened, it took until the opener against the Rams to get rid of that pain (for the most part). Without rehashing too much, we all know that the 2021 group will most likely be the best team Allen will ever have. Add in the healthiness of the team as well as their schedule and it comes out to the perfect storm of missed opportunity. I am fully convinced that every year McDermott is in charge will be another year of wasted opportunity. The sad part is that we know he is not going anywhere. Our only hope is that ownership tell him that Dorsey needs to be fired and he refuses to do it. Then, maybe this organization will get some offensive minded coaching and revamp that entire side of the ball. Why wouldn't the same team that bent us over yesterday have done the same thing last year when we had an even shittier defense staring Levi Wallace and Dane jackson? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was an embarrassing performance by the Coaching staff. Ill prepared and completely lost out there. I will repeat again as bad as that first quarter was, they did make it 14-7 and then "held🤣" Cincy to a fg. The Bills were first down @ the Cincy 41 with a 1:00 to go and should have minimum got a FG and then imploded. Ball to start the second half and again first and goal and three pathetic play calls. Could have been 21-17 or 17-17, stead still 17-10 and needed one 3 and out. No it was just a lousy game. 13 seconds ripped my heart out. I submit (a) wide right and (b) the throwback (forward) were worse for me as a fan. No question. Agreed, yesterday was a different sort of loss.....we were overwhelmed from the opening bell and had no answers. I am convinced that if there was a white towel to be thrown in at half-time, that about 40% of the Bills players would have accepted it and packed up and went home at 1/2 time. That is how listless the effort came across. Not saying they are quitters, but they knew. Each and every single Bills player knew the outcome after the first 4-6 minutes. Diggs is just so competitive he was in denial and trying to change the narrative. But deep down the Bills were like "please make this go away". Tough for sure. I am pulling for them to regroup, but it needs to be with some different players and some different coaches. Certainly not a full overhaul, but we also cannot remain the same. Right now, the culture is tainted and we need to cleanse that. New blood. New blood. New blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pathetic, but they had the ball with 2 minutes left before half down only 17-7 and coming off the TD. That drive and how that and the first drive of the second half ended was all on coaching. The team was not ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Gotta be honest, and I'm sure I'll get down vote/eyeroll, etc emojis for this but I feel like it needs to be said. If yesterday's result tells me anything it's that I am not as certain we definitely would have made the Superbowl if we had held off the Chiefs in those 13 seconds and won. Not a knock on Allen or the rest of the team, but Burrow is good. Really good. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 We'll have sporadic windows as long as Allen is QB. I'm not sure if the current one is closing or not. But if we get a Lombardi, it's as good as guess as anything that we'll get it w/ a team that none of us expects will go on a run. This year's team was the top favorite, and peaked pretty early. I'd bet that when we do go to the SB, it will be a team like last year - where we're up & down, not getting any huge expectations, and get hot late.

Big Blitz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 2 hours ago, arcane said: The 2021 team was 7-6 at one point and only looked elite against the Chiefs in the RS, at NE, and on the offensive side of the ball in 2 playoff games. The 2020 team was superior even though their defense was shoddy. There will be Bills teams led by Allen who are better than both. Allen hasn’t been on the best offensive group he’ll ever play with yet not even close. Burrow and Mahomes already have. And look at where they are. 13 seconds will haunt this staff forever I totally agree with that - they coached like losers yesterday. They really wanted to against Miami. I’m fine with McD coaching he’s done a fantastic job but it’s getting far far more likely this doesn’t end well. I’m not going to put my head and the sand or pretend everything is awesome. This organization has got nothing young to replace our expensive or older vets that will be extremely difficult to reinforce. And keep.

The Offense was not going to be challenged by the Cincy or the Rams IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the narrative of " we would have beaten the Bengals next week at home" and gone on to win it all needs to STOP. Yes the O was playing better last year, but to assume we would have beaten them last year looks silly after yesterday. Last years playoff team was far superior offensively than this years. I wouldn't automatically assume the effort yesterday would have led to the same result last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes is not playing with high ankle sprain and if he attempts to, he will extremely limited and probably end up on sidelines after one hit. Allen would have dominated in a doom. 13 secs is still worse but this lose/missed opportunity to get to the Super Bowl Is close behind. All this talk about a chip on their shoulder is the same bs they said last year. No offense. Beane deserves much of the blame, drafting underperforming d linemen and not hitting on players in first and second rounds except for Allen of course. Should have focused on adding playmakers on offense to help YOUR BEST PLAYER. Cinci went that route and there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 13 second hurt but at least we played hard and Josh put on a show for the ages. But yesterday hurt way more. Team just didn’t show up, coaches blew it and we got destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If it makes anyone feel better, today is the one year anniversary of 13 seconds. In all seriousness though, today is not nearly as bad as a year ago today. That litterally took me a full week to get over. I'm bummed the bills season is over, but I'm not shocked at the result of yesterday. I think we all knew deep down, that game was coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
