Hopefully it’s a strong draft because we will have a pick somewhere between 5-15. If we don’t make the playoffs might as well pick high.

When josh scored I didn’t celebrate. Instead I texted my buddy and told him broncos will kick the game winning FG at 11:25 pm. I was a few minutes off but decades of this informed my mindset. Deep down we all know we are cursed and we’re not going to win it all in any of our lifetimes. And still we care more than any other fanbase. We deserve the championship more than anyone else but instead the bandwagon Niners fans will get their 6th this year. Unfair. 

[BullBuchanan]

We absolutely deserve this joke of a team.

Was the 12  men on the field just to rub it in?  It’s literally cruel.  Mean.

 

There are too many coaches and players who cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeearly do not care.1% of the amount each of us does.

 

Personally I blame a lot of them.  I don’t excuse Allen like so many here do, but it’s obviously not only him.

 

But…….even with all of that……we have 12 men on the field…….even with that…….why does Lutz have to miss it just to rub it in?  That’s just too much.

How does a pro coach not have the field goal defense in on 3rd down?

Fans don't deserve *****. You're just paying to be entertained. Are you not entertained??

How many teams win after 4 turnovers ?

I sometimes wonder if watching this team is even worth it. Spend hundreds between tickets, merch, tv, time, etc. It’s just pain. 

The fan base literally bought the QB a hospital and he didn’t bother to put in work in the off season.

 I don't know about anyone else, but after this ugly game and watching that field goal sail, I jumped off my bed in shock and was like "omg!! we actually won this!!", just in complete shock and elation. Then I saw there was a flag and my heart sank.That span of emotions in such a short time span was nauseating and heartbreaking. I swear it's something only Bills fans go through. Who else loses like we do??

Yeah same. I knew exactly what was going to happen. I always hope I am wrong and that "this time will be different", but nope, it's the same thing every time. It happens the same way too, the other team marches down the field with ease, shenanigans and flags start to come in and help the other team. We can only score with 10 seconds left to have any hope. 

 

We definitely are cursed. I think we would have won the SB if we beat KC in the divisional. If we held on for 13 seconds, that was our year. Nothing convinces me otherwise.

Jesus, how many fans were going into this game expecting this or something similar to happen.  This is exactly what these fans deserve. The constant bitching, and moaning about how when this team wins its not perfect and nothing they can do is ever good enough. It's actually quite comical and fitting exactly how much this loss suits this fanbase. 

that’s quite a dark take. So many fans are positive and supportive. Everyone has a breaking point.

I'm just being a 'realist', right. That's what they all say.

 

I see it everywhere, Bills fans just can't wait to spew vitriol and hate when the team encounters any sort of obstacle or meets with rough waters. So many just sit and lie in wait so they can be the first ones to be right with their negative takes. It's embarrassing. This loser mentality among a large contingent of the fanbase is honestly sad.

 

Curses and jinxed live on in our collective psyche and Bills fans thrive off of being the lovable losers.  Sure, fans donate to all these charities, but then they go around acting like drunken asshats at the tailgate.

 

Woohoo! Our fans are the best because they know how to party and donate to other teams charities!

 

On the other hand half these fans take it personally when the Bills lose, as if the team is doing it to spite these individuals.  Get over yourselves Bills fans. The team will be good or bad regardless if any of us are on the bandwagon or not.

 

Good riddance to those who no longer support the Bills!  I'll still be here and I'll still BILLIEVE this team can win the Superbowl until they're finally knocked out of the race.

Stop watching?  It's no longer enjoyable. I'd get fired if I was as incompetent as 90% of these clowns

At some point we as fans are going to need to face the reality that Allen does not take his job seriously. He's not going to get better

We didn’t deserve the win. The 12 men on the field, just a Bills perfect ending. 

 

When Denver missed the FG I said that we got it, but we didn’t deserve to win this one. Then she said there was a flag on the play. Perfect. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against a lesser team at home in prime time. 

[oldmanfan]

This team simply does not have it this year.  Injuries on defense are a legitimate excuse.  But here are the non-legitimate ones:

 

1.  Coaching:  Dorsey does not grasp the simple concept that you go with what works until the other guy proves he can stop it.  Last night should have been all about running the ball.  But he dicked around instead.  Special teams coach should have made sure to kick it away from Mims, and the 12 men on the field is obvious.   But as HC McD is responsible for it all, and he along with many on his staff are failing at their jobs this season.

 

2.  Josh:  Sorry but as much as his completion percentage was high and such going into the game, he is not playing well this year.  Blame it on coaching, a supposed pregnant waitress, doing commercials, whatever, but he has frankly sucked in several games this year including last night.  You cannot be successful with a QB that turns the ball over so much.

 

3.  Stupidity:  The 12 men on the field is emblematic of an issue the team has had all year.  The stupid penalties, stupid clock management, stupid play calling, you name it.  Dumb teams do not win, and this team is dumb.

 

sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward.  This season is a huge step back.

I first started watching the Bills in the 1979 season. Despite all the possible bad karma I have accumulated in my life since then, I have never deserved the abuse, punishment and heartbreak of being a Bills fan!

No, in fact I’m the complete opposite. Enraged and for the first time ever debating about not turning on a Bills game. 

[Playoffs?]

Our Sundays just become stress free again.. that’s all. Go out, get yard work done.  Spend time with friends & fam. This team is done this year… and not much hope for future right now. 
 

Unfortunately the problem is us.. we set the bar too high year after year. It’s a lot easier when you truly believe we’ll never win a championship. 
 

This goes for the Sabres too.

I'd argue we've had it pretty sweet since 2020. 3 straight division titles, low stress until the playoffs. 

The 12 men was inexcusable but still have a shot. There's no team I look at this year that is clearly a SB contender.  Maybe we sneak in and cause havoc. Maybe not. 

 

End of the day 31 fan bases will be complaining in Feb

This fan base does not deserve this.

 

These threads popup every season.  The fans 100% do deserve this.  Bills fans are fiercely loyal, which is an admirable trait.  But when you are that loyal you tend to accept the trash too easily.
