Forgive me for thinking our luck had changed when:

 

1. Josh didn't get called for a forward lateral (RIP Frank Wychek)

2. KC fumbles through the end zone

3. Refs get both of the aforementioned right.

 

Then - wide right.

 

The football gods were just !@#$ with us.

Bass has been bad all season tho... it wasnt a shocker

We had to wait out Tom in New England to get out of the basement of the AFC East and now we’ll have to wait out Mahomes to ever get to the big one. 

We gotta wait on Pegula to give up on McD.

I'm usually an optimistic Bills fan, super disappointed, but feel good about the way Josh played and a lot of the young talent on offense in particular...but hard not to feel like Creed Humphrey and Trent McDuffie being in KC will always haunt me given how easily they could have been cornerstones in Buffalo. I cringe a bit every time I hear their names. 

 

Underrated takeaway from the game...Mahomes will get all the accolades, but I don't think the Chiefs win that game without Pacheco. He runs different. Helped prolong so many of their drives and put points on the board instead of punts. 

Mahomes deserves the accolades. He went into Buffalo and beat the Bills. To imply or diminish this accomplishment is kind of crazy. Mahomes led his team to victory if that includes a Pacheco so be it. 

 

Mahomes showed the football world why he's the best QB on the planet. What Josh did is an afterthought because his team lost. He will be answering upcoming questions about why he and his team can't sustain consecutive playoff wins. The ghost is appearing on his back. The elephant is in the room.

Can't wait for another McDermott led year with 1 of the best qbs to ever play the  game to lose early in the playoffs again.  The narrative is not only old, tired, repetitive, but needs to be eliminated.  It starts with the head coach, not 1 of the best qbs to ever play and not sniffed a SB.  That's straight up failure at coaching.  If you can't see it in 3....3!!  Loses to the Chiefs in the playoffs, then you are just delusional 

Home run. The silence tells you all you need to know. 

 

The same people will be ramming the McD walks on water narrative come next season. Denial runs deep.

McDermott is secured for another season because he led us to the 2nd seed and we won another Wild Card playoff game.

 

His future beyond that depends on next season.

His success this year was measured in a large part because of his early incompetence. Add it all up and it's a disappointing and unsuccessful season. 

 

At some point one and done with Allen should not be seen as a success. Seeding (beside #1) doesn't mean anything except home field advantage. You seen how that worked out.

Heck of a last few months of this season. Really did not expect us to be where we were at mid season.

 

We just were not good enough last night.  Needed our WR’s to get open and they weren’t most of the night. Josh had a clean pocket a lot of the game and nobody to throw to.  Diggs needed to catch that pass. Defense was gutted, yet had a respectable game.  And after all that. We had a possibility to win and run the clock,Manx at the very least tie the game.  Would we have stopped them if we had tied the game?  Probably not, but dang at least give the team a chance.

 

One observation. When you have a running back playing very well, keep feeding him the ball.  Cook was playing very well and kept getting pulled.  Just let him play!  Not that that was the reason we lost.

Good god. What more do we need to see that we don’t already know?

Anyone including ownership that thinks things will be different next year is delusional.  This is what you get with McDermott , nothing more sometimes less.

Mahomes showed he can hit wide open wide recievers and not much more. Not that impressive of a showing vs a decimated defense.

And if the Bills manage that again next year? Same again? How many times are they going to repeat the same thing? There are good coaches about this off season, and the Bills would be number one location for most. Might not be able to say the same thing in 2025. They need to take advantage now. Look at the Bucs axing Dungy, or the Eagles cutting Reid. McDermott may still be successful elsewhere but his time should be up here.

If they want a defensive HC I'd take Bilichic over McD

I would prefer Jim Harbaugh. He knows the next three years draft class better than anyone and we would win the Lombardi in the next two years. We need perfect drafting with Allen's cap hit.

Let’s not forget McD essentially traded Mahomes to KC so that he would kick our asss every year…talk about sealing your fate before you ever even play a game…

Just sums up the Bills luck. I said it last night - they got Josh and Diggs. What did the Chiefs and Vikings get in return? Mahomes and Jefferson. Typical.

 

Saying that, IMO Mahomes is no better than Josh. Switch them around and I still think the Bills would have lost last night, dare I say by a slightly bigger margin.

Trent is a Nickel CB playing the Nickel because of his size and short arms. Yes, he beat Taron for 1st Team All Pro. But there isn't much separating Trent as 1st Team AP and Taron as 2nd Team AP. 

 

We didn't need a Nickel on Draft Day because Taron has been solid for years. We needed an Outside CB. That's why we passed on him. Shame that Kaiir hasn't worked out, but Trent really can't play Outside.

 

Humphrey on the other hand, yeah, that's a rough miss.

Unpopular opinion- Gabe Davis was missed WAY more than we or I expected. 

 

He definitely brings in at least 1 if not both of the long balls to Sherfield..

 

Those are game changers in this type of game

While Josh played well for most part I think mahomes takes the diggs throw instead of throwing it to Shakir in end zone as we wanted to run clock there and not score right away giving the chefs time to score. If that happens I think the Bills win. Mahomes understands that part of the game where Allen fights it.

If you want to win a Super Bowl you have to make plays

 

Diggs didn't 

Sherfield didn't 

The entire defensive line didn't 

Bass didn't 

 

This team had injuries. Those injuries mattered. But at the end of the day if one or two guys make a play we are headed to Baltimore

At the end of day..the Bills just had too many injuries to overcome. Going against one of best QB/coach of all time you need all hands on deck. We were down to our 3rd 4th and 5th string LB’s. And 3rd string Corner. We’ve been hit by the injury bug last two years!! Smh

I think the Diggs or Shakir option is a toss up which one is the one to take. As others have said, who knows if Diggs would have dropped it anyway? Or fumbled? Or there would be a tipped interception on the next play? Where the opportunity is there to try for a TD, should it be taken?

He might have done if he’d run the right route but, based on this season, he would have probably been standing next to Diggs or Shakir instead.
