Success Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Maybe a weird post - but I was both excited about this game, and dreading it. I was excited because winning would have been euphoria - but I expected losing to be completely devastating. As it always has been for me. I'm actually shocked that I'm in decent spirits right now. It's nothing like previous losses in high-stakes games. I usually can't sleep, but I think I'll sleep fine tonight. Trying to figure it out. Do I just expect this kind of stuff now? Just curious if anyone else has a similar thing going on.... 11 1 27 1 5 Quote
Poleshifter Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It's deja vu. Sadly, it is no surprise. The same fat villain haunting our January dreams. 2 3 Quote
Big Turk Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Iritated we didn't beat the Chiefs, but who are we kidding...this D would have gotten carved up like Swiss Cheese against the Ravens next week anyway with the injuries and guys playing well under 100%. Wouldn't be surprised if Dodson, Douglas and Benford all need surgery in the offseason. Douglas looked about as bad as you could possibly look in this game. Clearly was playing at maybe 75% max. Was absolutely terrible. Should have been benched for Elam. He was killing us out there. Edited January 22 by Big Turk 4 16 Quote
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Losing has become expected so I feel the same I guess. on to next year. A least we know we will win the division again. Hopefully we stop screwing around and eae r he 1 seed. That would at least likely give us a favorable road to the AFCCG. 3 Quote
Chugga Posted January 22 Posted January 22 We could have gotten blown out by the Ravens next week and I probably would been ok. But this loss in painful. Mostly because it feels like we are in NFL purgatory. Good enough to make the playoffs but never good enough to beat elite QBs. And I don’t see a way out any time soon. 2 Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I think it’s different because we actually played and coached well and lost to a better team. Plus we completely turned the season around 2 months ago and have a lot to build on going into off-season when it looked like everything was gonna have to be blown up at 6-6. 5 4 Quote
TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I am too... its called being numb. The bills have proven that they can't beat the chiefs either on the road or at home. Nothing will change. It will all be blamed on injuries. McDermott will be back. Brady will be back and the bills will draft a stud WR in the first round. The bills will promise with Matt milano and tre white it will be different... 1 Quote

We just lost at home 2 divisional games in a row, When will people realize homefield is actually not that much of an advantage? 1 Quote

SCBills Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) It’s exhaustion for me. Legitimate sadness for Josh Allen.. a guy who doesn’t deserve the playoff fates he’s been handed. The realization that we probably won’t win it with McDermott, but we aren’t firing him so it is, at least, another year of this. I’m not mad, I’m just tired of this organization/sport.. mainly because I have no reason to believe anything will change next year. Edited January 22 by SCBills 5 13 Quote
HappyDays Posted January 22 Posted January 22 The anger comes in waves. But I accepted we wouldn't make the playoffs after we put 12 men on the field so everything since then has felt like an added bonus. Even tonight I was into it until the dumb fake punt, and then everything after that again was just an added bonus. It's already solidified in my mind that we will never win a Super Bowl under McDermott, even if we pulled it out tonight I can't see us then beating two elite opponents in a row under this coaching staff. So in that sense it doesn't hurt as much. It feels inevitable. 5 1 6 1 Quote

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It sucks but this is what McDermott has done to us. KC was a mess offensively all year. And this loser HC/DC couldn't get it done. How many other coaches is he going to scapegoat until Pegula finally fires this guy???? The way he was talking about the DL I would not be surprised if Washington is fired in the next few days. 2 2 3 1 Quote

Heavy Kevi Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I already grieved this season about 6 games ago... And now I feel exactly the same I did last year when they got knocked out: 1. I can really use the extra free time with the NFL now over for the year AND 2. McD gotta go 3 1 4 1 Quote

Really thought we were going to find a way to pull it off at the end and get past the Chiefs finally. Really sad that so many players just couldn’t execute tonight. 1 Quote
