CincyBillsFan Posted January 27 Posted January 27 10 minutes ago, BillsFan130 said: Agreed. I'm just looking big picture- 29 points should be enough to win. Did the offence have a chance and could they have done better at the end? Ya for sure. But I'm looking at the game from a macro view - Almost 400 yards of offence and 29 points on the road against a top 5 D is pretty damn good The reality is that the defense was 90% responsible for the loss and the offense was 10% responsible. Yet we have Bills "fans" blaming the O. The fact is that in the off season they must fix the defense whch means that beyond signing Cook & Shakir to extensions the FA money is going to go to the D. The O will have to depend on the draft. Quote

Just have to hope for some other team to beat KC in the playoffs. We have had 4 shots in 5 years...safe to say it will never happen. No one is going to do it…I don’t think people are really keeping an eye on what other teams are doing but all the other well regarded coaches in the league are dreadful against kc. Reid would love to see mcd fired im sure lol 1 Quote
Drewski Posted January 27 Posted January 27 This game came down to a few players being unavailable. Rapp and Benford being out was huge. Elam was a huge liability and it showed. The game couldve gone either way. Defense played well except for Elam. Offense did decent. I just can't handle losing against one team over and over like it's groundhog day. I'm so sick of the Chiefs Quote

If someone told you before the game and you didn't know the outcome from the chiefs offence: The bills got 29 points, 374 yards, and won the time of possession. Would you have taken that, yes or no? Not if you had also told me they blew two 2 point tries and turned the ball over on downs twice. Not in KC in the playoffs. 1 1 Quote
streetkings01 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 3 minutes ago, DapperCam said: It really depends on who they bring in and what resources they spend. It would be hard to be worse than this year though, so I feel like they will be better. We’ve dumped tons of money and picks into pass rushers and our pass rush still sucks. We rely on late round picks and cheap free agents for our secondary. We use mid round picks on linebackers. I have no confidence in the defense being better next year…..it’s been a middling defense for 2 seasons now! 1 Quote

Its same story- Pass rush not good enough, defensive backs can't cover, and out coached by Andy 4 Quote

For the second year in a row, the offense had the ball in the waning minutes and could have won the game with a TD drive, but couldn’t even get a FG. That’s not good enough. 1 1 Quote

We have drafted defense. Unfortunately, many of those picks didn't work out. 2 Quote

Not in KC in the playoffs. Well I would say one of the turnover on downs was because they had to go for it at the end cause the D didn't do their job letting up 32 But that's fair, we can agree to disagree. Respectfully though , I think you're over rating this chiefs offence a lot. Houston absolutely dominated them last week and they showed this season they are just an above average offence. And it's extremely tough to get 30 plus points on Spags. (I think the only Time they let up 30 this year was against the bills) Edited January 27 by BillsFan130 1 Quote

Goin Breakdown Posted January 27 Posted January 27 So how are we supposed to feel about these playoff loses? "hey great season so proud of your guys" "Fire everyone" "we're never going to win the big one or even get that chance?" im somewhere with all of of. Well maybe not fire everyone but I do know there will be coaching turnover and maybe in some cases it'll be good. I just don't know what to make of it all anymore. the team the league the refs its like we have been mind effed to question and doubt everything and everyone. Hell many think the league is rigged. What fun is watching anything of it's rigged? Might as well not idk I'm spent. Go Bills. Maybe in a few weeks or so it'll make more sense. Quote
Bill51390 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 All I can say is this sucks. But at the end of the day the team far exceeded my expectations this season. 1 Quote

I'm an eternal optimist - but this is TOO MUCH. It is way too much. I think you should walk away. It sounds like you want to. 1 Quote
