The game was over anyway if Bass made that FG. No way would the defense stop Patty from getting points the very next drive. There should’ve been a “TD or bust” mentality on that last one. Bleed the clock and go for the 4 point lead. 

We would have watched Mahomes do his master class on hurry up dink and dunk and the Bills chasing him and missing him only for him to get a first down. Von Miller tackling air and then the inevitable Butker perfect Fg right down the middle with no time on the clock.

What about Cooks TD drop in the 1st quarter

I think we still scored a TD on that drive so it wasn't a killer.

I an a way I am kind of glad we lost this game because we would have gotten annihilated by the Ravens next week.

So I would rather have the the Chiefs get destroyed by them in the AFCCG.

 

I just absolutely despise Mahomes and KC more.  So let Mahomes cry his ass off after they get mauled next week in Baltimore.

 

We were too banged up this year to compete for a SB, and to believe anything other that that is not being realistic.

 

We were never going to beat the Ravens with our personnel on this team that played in this game tonight, or any variations of it next week.

 

 

Not sure how any Bills can can be happy the Bills lost. Reading this just really pis$ed me off. 

 

I don't know how the Bills vs Baltimore game would have played out. I think the Bills would have done relatively well vs them.

I think if Douglas and Benford are healthy we probably win this game. Douglas was obviously hobbled out there, he had no speed. Dane Jackson got burned over and over. He also couldn't make a tackle in run support to save his life.

 

Worst game I've seen from our defense this year.

 

Almost immediately, my hopes that the backups could fill in okay were dashed.  It definitely hurt that we were so banged up.

I actually thought McDermott did a good job today. Went for it multiple times on 4th.  Fake punt was at least playing  aggressively.  Bass was timing time bomb for us.  Injuries hurt us.  Maybe next year.  Been saying that for about 50 years.

Didn't have my phone all night. Don't need to see the same script another time. Mcdermott should be fired tomm

Every time that Mahomes has beaten Allen, Allen has been just as good, and probably better than Mahomes during the game. I think Mahomes made one tough throw all night. Mcdermott has never made it hard for him. Meanwhile Allen does Madden ***** all game long 

[Canadian Bills Fan]

I'm in Canada... it's-10 

 

I went for a walk in shorts and a light hoodie to cool off.

 

I'm just heartbroken. We desperately need a WR2 to take the coverage away from Diggs. There is no reason why he should have only has 21 yards receiving tonight.

 

 

I was the biggest Bass fan but he isn't clutch. You have one job. You need to be able to step up.

 

I'm so proud of the defense for hanging in there like we did.

 

It will be great to get everyone back healthy next year.

 

We also need to move on from Miller after next season. He was invisible all year and isn't worth the contract.

 

DL is great and OL showed some promise.

 

We need a WR2 and then LB and DB help via free agency and draft

This will be just like 13 seconds.  A bragging rights game that will mean nothing, because KC doesn't have as good a chance of beating the Ravens as we would have.

 

 

[Sandhill Mike]

They were able to take advantage of our M.A.S.H. unit defense.  The boys may not have gotten it done this year but 27 other teams went home first.  I'm proud of them for going on a memorable tear... like the rest of you, sick of losing to the Chefs.

 

Kansas City has come out on top the first three times in the playoffs, but that is going to change.  Allen is just too good, and along with Kincaid, Cook, and Shakir, we've got a great young core.  Waiting to see what Beane comes up with this offseason to fix our defense and kicking game.  Need to hit a homerun at wideout as well.

[zow2]

Two years and 0-2 at home in the Divisional round. So disappointing. This team always talks about the home advantage and they can’t get it done.

[Niagara Dude]

Bills got a gift after fake punt blunder and just never took advantage.  This team needs another top receiver and get back to being a high scoring offence.

We should've gotten rid of Bass weeks ago. We should've tried harder to bring in a real #2 receiver. I'm completely gutted. I really thought we were going to pull it off. 

I just knew that son of a **** was gonna miss that kick… He’s been garbage all season

In terms of why we loss why would Josh even come up?  As usual the team road on his shoulders.  Our defense was high school level tonight.  It was beyond pitiful.  Big drops by receivers who often could not get open.  Special teams playing hurt....?  Why?  We have a coach who we should be thankful got us to contender status but who will never win a super bowl.  Another year with him is a total waste.

I didn't say he lost us the game. read again. I said he played a great game But he shouldn't have thrown the pass to the end zone.

 

Every-time the Bills lose the board is full of the mentally ill calling for the firing of all the coaches and staff. The coaches didn't drop a bomb that hit them in the hands, Diggs did, The coaches didn't drop a sure touchdown, Cook did. The coaches didn't cripple Milano or Tre.  The coaches didn't beat up the 5 million people we have that didn't play today because of injury.

 

The team came into this game with the D being the walking wounded. We had a great run to steal the division from the fins but sooner or later all the injuries were going to catch up to us. KC only punted once the entire game. You dont win games when you cant stop the other team, but can you really blame the D when we had second and third stringers starting?

 

At any rate I will be taking my umbrella with me tomorrow. From all the irrational stuff I am reading on this board I figure some of these people will be jumping out of windows.

They’re starting a new drought for the franchise..:can’t stop choking in the Divisional Round. 

[newcam2012]

This hasn't really been talked about much. I thought a huge turning point of the game was when KC marched down the field after halftime. I said to myself I think the Bills might be in trouble. That was a huge statement drive and TD. I never felt like the Bills D could stop KC. 

 

I knew the Bills needed a TD on their last drive. There was likely no path to win if they didn't score a TD. They definitely had their chances. We know the plays. In the end, the offense fell short of executing.  That sadly includes Allen who played magnificently. 

 

You know young and up and coming teams play well but often lose in the end? Just not quite there yet. They need to get more experience and learn how to win.

 

This is how I feel the Bills are. A very good team that just doesn't know how to win past the WC round. It's more than a one off Bills fans. What's the answer to change the losing! 

[stevestojan]

On a positive note, ESPN will at least have a highlight to show when they hand Damar the comeback player award. So there’s that. Which is nice.

His 2 big mistakes were starting Klein and Jackson over Williams and Elam. Called these mistakes when I saw the starters. When he finally put Williams in the game and covered Kelsey with anybody other than Klein the d got better

I didn't doubt for a second he'd miss it, but I also knew it didn't matter.

[Koufax]

Boy that was a tough game to lose, and there are plenty of individual things and moments we can key on, but I'm proud of how this team battled since 6-6 (and even before), excited for the next opportunity to cheer on Josh, and optimistic for how great a sports moment it will be when the Bills win the Super Bowl.

 

Go Bills!

[The Jokeman]

Maybe I'm just used to the disappointment but this one didn't hurt as much. I'm maddest at Bass but can blame others including Josh on 2nd and 3rd down on the final drive. The defense was poor all game. I know McDermott not good enough but who is?
