Wow that game sucked

[schoolhouserock]

The reffing felt like a Brady era show. It was alarming and I was triggered.

Look what Detroit just did to a division opponent. No excuses to come out that flat and unprepared. There’s a reason, but this place isn’t ready to admit it

The lions beat the bears by 3 their first matchup of the year fyi 😂. Nearly an identical score to bills pats today.  If we beat them comfortably in the rematch it will literally be exactly what the lions did

Allen didn't hurt his throwing hand. He hit his elbow on the ground causing his arm and hand to go numb temporarily 

that elbow hit the helmet which was probably worse than the ground considering the angle

Bill Parcells always said he liked when his teams played these types of games late in the year because you won but the team knows it has to play better and the coaches could stay on them.

 

also sometimes Parcells just dumped the garbage on their heads to wake them up

The Parcels that coached his team to 2 Super Bowl wins?

The narrative is different here.

Chiefs find a way to win, Bills sucked.

With the takeaways , didn’t the Bills   “find a way to win” ?

Yes.

 

But, would be happy to see them know it’s important from the start. Have had some crud loses late season and playoffs that they should be ready and hungry now.

Everyone is blaming coordinators again. It’s just sad.

That game was miserable to watch.

 

- Refs willed NE into the endzone multiple times.

 

- Allen hurts his throwing hand

 

- Shakir forgot how to catch

 

- Our special teams sucks at EVERYTHING. They are bad at kickoff coverage, they can’t down a punt inside the five, and they nearly give up an onside kick for the second week in a row. 

 

- Every time we blitzed Maye, he folded like a cheap tent. He clearly could not handle the pressure. So what does Babich do in key moments? He rushes 4 and drops everyone back into a shell. WHY!? For fug sake, WHY? Make it make sense

 

 

Amen!   Horrible game from a team that plays down to bad teams.  Human nature I guess.   Classic Mcd team against bad teams.  This is why he is hard to fathom winning a Lombardi.  They always tend to let down along the way , while KC Looks like they are improving.  Merry Christmas tho.  Not good for one’s mental health to ever question things after a win , even tho we’ve never won the one a coach is hired to win!  lol.

Agree. As much as we want it so badly, a lot of things really have to go our way to get that SB win this year. I just don't think they're good enough, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

We need to get healthier, and for guys like Oliver and Rousseau to step up more than one out of every 3-4 games.

we sucked.  Way too much respect given to to a 3-11 team 

[947]

I'll take the win, but it feels like I just got kicked in the nuts.

I am sure they are thrilled with their 3 SB wins in the last 5 years and their upcoming 3peat. Our defense and coaching staff's seeming inability to get the team ready on a consistent basis is a legitimate concern and not just hating.

Giving up on a 12-3 team after a win before the playoffs even have started is one of the most incredible things I have seen from a fan.

 

The Bar is so high for the Bills and allen that when they play close nfl games and win their own fans give up on them.  Amazing.

Pats fans are not impressed...said the game wasn't as close as it looked after the 14-0 lead, which is kinda surprinsing considering they shut down the Bills offense pretty well.

[T.E.]

Get a win next week and rest the starters in Week 18. Should be healthy by playoff time.

[Livinginthepast]

The Bills D had no answers for the 30th ranked offense in the first half.  They got the win only because of the offense and the Pats gifting them turnovers. We cannot do that against any quality team in the playoffs or it will look exactly like the Bengals playoff game from 2 years ago. I get they are walking wounded on the defense but McD and Babbich have to scheme these players into situations where they can succeed and soft zone with no pass rush is not it.

[Big Turk]

Once again...record of most 30+ point games remains in a 5 way tie at 8. All 5 teams failed in their bid for a 9th straight game...

It's the first time he's started a thread in over two weeks.

If you can't handle it, it's a "you" problem.

The thing is games like this happen. We can't expect to score 30 points every game and be flawless on offense and defense. We have been so good offensively lately that I get that is the expectation but Mayo played incredibly soft and the Bills really should have gotten in there and ran the ball. Plus you can tell that Josh Allen felt this was a game that he shouldn't take off and run to make plays when there was nothing there and he still ended up getting a funny bone or whatever it is. The defense struggled in the first half and the offense struggled all game but the end result is we won. Was it pretty? No...Should you be happy we barely beat a 3-12 football team ?  No but we did win the football game and all that matters is the W in the column.

Yes, the bar is very high. When you have arguably the best QB in the league and can't get out of the divisional round due to defense and coaching the leash for tolerance is short.
