Their claim to fame is "we went to the good weather games during the drought years" and jump through tables, and drink shots from a bowling ball. Harassing a player is disgusting. They were equally soft in the stadium. All week I heard about how KC would have a tough time in our stadium because it would be so loud. They were all drunk and on their phones by half time. Tight game all game and this soft crowd wasn't even loud enough to make Mahomes use a silent count. Perhaps they should harass themselves. Baltimore caused 6 false starts Saturday. The Mafia forced 0. Again that's coaching and discipline. Reid is light years better than McD. 2 Quote
VW82 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Has the media decided on a name for this game yet? For me, it will always be the touchback game. Bills losses are named after the various ways our team rips our heart out of our chest. Wide right. Throw back. 13 seconds. The touch back was the point where we went from no hope to hope only the best player in franchise history to not come through. Quote

I came to the realization that I actually enjoy regular season football more than playoff football. You still want to win in a bad way but you know that there will also be a game next week. Playoff football? I almost get too worked up to actually enjoy the game. I know. Wierd. I know what you mean here. I feel a little the same way. I think it's just the history. I was way more excited about the Texans playoff game, and the Colts & then the Ravens. But as time has gone on and we keep fizzling, it feels heavier. Almost a jaded feeling. At this point, my expectations for a title are so much lower than they were after 13 seconds. I plan to just enjoy Bills football now, and if we get one eventually, it will just be an amazing surprise that I'll relish. 1 Quote

This was your moment to shine. Don't worry, Allen will shoulder the blame of this game for all the players that played like this. Allen threw this ball 65 yards in the air. From his 10 to the bills 25. Dropped it right in his hands. Could be the best throw he has ever made. 3 1 Quote
JerseyBills Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I think with just Bernard, we win by 7+ . AJ got abused in the pass game , no fault to his, dude just hopped off the couch 1 2 Quote
BRH Posted January 22 Posted January 22 40 minutes ago, BillsfaninCT said: no you don't! cause you don't win the game that way in this scenario. we didn't need the end zone, we needed the clock run out and kick a 20yd field goal, then get a 50/50 coin toss to get the ball in O.T. and on the premise, the likely one, neither D stops either offense the bills win on the 2nd score. it's terrible coaching, execution or something. Yes because playing for the tie and OT has always worked out so well for us. The way I saw OT playing out, we would get the ball first -- either because we won the toss or KC deferred -- score a TD and kick the XP; and then the Chiefs would drive the field, score a tuddy, go for two and make it. Game over. Or else Bass would miss the XP and the Chiefs would just go get seven. As soon as we trotted out the FG unit, we lost that game. Shakir was as open as anyone could be AND he was our only WR who was actually catching footballs. Of course you'd like to run the clock down first, but that doesn't mean you pass up the chance for a four-point lead. Quote

Tight game all game and this soft crowd wasn't even loud enough to make Mahomes use a silent count. Perhaps they should harass themselves. In the first quarter I couldn't hear Kermit's voice on the broadcast and that was great. But it didn't last. Part of it is that the annoying pitch/frequency of his voice just cuts through crowd noise in a way that others can't. But the crowd definitely got quieter, and I was worried about their first drive after halftime because I knew so many people would still be in the concession/bathroom lines. People harassing Bass or any other player should be ashamed of themselves. 1 Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Diggs getting a first down on that play wasn't even guaranteed. Two guys could have easily collapsed on him and KC was doing a great job of tackling and not allowing extra yards in the pass game as they tightened up throughout the game. The time for Allen to throw that pass if he were to would have been right over the middle, 2 yards past the LoS. Diggs would have had 7 yards to go with 2 chiefs in his way to stop it. The throw to Shakir was the right read. Edited January 22 by Scott7975 1 2 3 Quote
Success Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Man, I'm so tired of the dissecting of Allen's decision to go to the EZ on that play. This kind of analysis just doesn't happen 20 years ago. But now we have hundreds of pods, websites, shows, et al, with all of the "experts" weighing in. The fact that this one play is getting so scrutinized is more a symptom of where we're at in terms of sports culture than any kind of reasonable assessment of a game. 3 Quote

Not to mention that Romo's take -- which is what most people are piggybacking off of -- was just wrong. Let's not forget that this is a QB who lost a playoff game because he couldn't field a snap and then he lost his mind after picking it up. Edited January 22 by BRH 1 Quote

Playoff football? I almost get too worked up to actually enjoy the game. I know. Wierd. It’s not weird at all but the playoffs are where legends are made in pro sports. It comes down to making that one last throw, the catch, the sack, the pick, forcing a fumble… etc. A lot of losers at the end of the season because winning is the ultimate. For me, the reg season is a cool time killer. It’s fun.. but the playoffs are when I actually pay close attention. Just remember.. we can’t influence any of these games on the field so some perspective is necessary. Quote

You may never get a wide open receiver in the endzone like that again. The TD wasn't there to "take". Chris Jones assured that. Which shouldn't have been unpredictable. The Chiefs were struggling all night to stop the Bills short passing and run games. That was their weakness coming in and there was no reason to get away from that. Were any other 30 air yard throws even completed by the Bills? 2 4 Quote

BADOLBILZ Posted January 22 Posted January 22 1 minute ago, BRH said: If Diggs and Sherfield had done their jobs, you wouldn't be asking that question. That's entirely part of the point. They haven't been connecting on deep throws. They haven't been doing that job before. Not sure why you'd expect that to change. And off of memory that would have been the longest air yards throw completed to Shakir all season. Last season they tried him more on deeper throws and he struggled to track the ball further downfield.......famously dropping what should have been a wide open bomb in the Miami playoff game. This season he's strictly been a short to intermediate target and that's played into his strengths. BTW.........kudos to Spags for the 2nd down blitz in the first half the preceded the Bills first punt. He suckered Allen out of the gameplan. That was the first of the two long incompletions to Sherfield. That was also a big play in the game. 2 Quote

I just think Shakir makes the play because that's who he is now: our most trusted pair of hands in the WR room. 1 minute ago, JerseyBills said: Did you hear any interviews from these guys?
