KC never would have done that in that situation…they would trust their franchise QB to find an open receiver 

100% agree.

 

Felt on that drive they were playing not to lose versus to win.

Pattycake fumbled reversed by penalty.

Pattycake INT reversed by imaginary catch with soft backup penalty just in case.

Allen 4th down conversion magically spotted short after initially being spotted correctly a first down. 
 

Almost like several gifted extra possessions is meaningful in 1 score games.  Weird.

 

this post should be pinned.

Need to work on the tush off season it costed them, superb game tho 

Work on it? No. If it’s stopped twice, don’t continue to rely on it. That’s simple. 

 

Baltimore gave them the recipe how to give us trouble with it. KC perfected it.

Its almost surreal how much Benford getting knocked out by Hamlin doomed the Bills.

[Nitro]

These two teams are equal and the scoreboard showed it.

This season made it clear (again) that we need a real edge rusher (to close out on pass rushing downs—example on 3rd down, a 1 technique DT to free up Ed and plug up the gut to contain the run, a number 1 WR who can separate and a starter quality CB.  
 

Think we can address these needs in the draft (love having a 1st and 2 2nds but I’d really love to get into the 3rd round using our draft capital so whichever of those position players we don’t get with those picks we can still get a “solid” player at the other position.  Think we don’t have enough $$ to make a splash in FA while we have important extension decisions with key players.

All of this being true it was kind of a weird game because I thought the DT's played all right.  Groot who is usually our most consistent guy was on the ground or out of position all day long.

That's a first down and the NFL is rigged.

 

Yep I agree. Refs didn't throw the game, but " heavy sculpting* of the outcome. 

 

That was a 1st down by any measure. 

 

That ball also clearly hit the ground in 1st half. 

 

These were egregious poor calls when " all eyes " were on the NFL and tons of hard data and stats were shown on the " Chiefs get all the calls" truism. 

 

 

It's pathetic and shifted the result of this game.

When I saw the two judges coming in a half yard differently I knew they were going to screw us. And they did. I'm not going to say he got it by much. But he got it. If that was Mahomes that ball would have been marked on the 39 and we all know it...

He's back for better or worse 100%. 

I know, but he shouldn't be

I’m numb and know emotions will be all over the board. 
 

At the end of the day, KC SIMPLY executed better than Buffalo. Their players made plays when it mattered, ours didn’t.  The Bills failed to convert multiple two point conversions and got stopped multiple times on tush pushes. And when it mattered most our TE dropped a wide open pass. 
 

Josh masks a lot of deficiencies but at the end of the day, we need more playmakers and Beane MUST do better drafting and getting impactful players. You have a ton of draft capital so USE IT! 
 

KC continues to hit on their draft picks while we don’t. 
 

It’s been an amazing season and realistically the Bills exceeded expectations. However, with the door open to get to the Super Bowl, it’s significantly disappointing not to seize the opportunity.

No. Kincaid. The rest of the team played well enough to win. 

You can’t put this on Kincaid.  That’s horse *****.  We got stuffed on a 4th and foot.  If they get that this game could be totally different.  

[klos63]

Are we supposed to donate to Kincaid's charity now?

So Josh is 4-0 against KC & Mahomes in the regular season. 
 

Now 0-4 in the post-season. 
 

Who’s in favor of throwing the regular season netting against them this upcoming season?!?

 

 

Man to be honest. I'm surprised im

writing in here right now let alone thinking about next year. I'm a huge fan and always will be but I'm tired of losing to this same team. Heck I'm tired of losing  in the playoffs. It hurts. I really need to care less and view it as entertainment and not a goal to witness in my life. 

[Sandhill Mike]

Bummer.  I really thought this might be the year we've all waited for. 

 

Time for the offseason.  Build a killer defense and give Allen that same quality of life that Kermit enjoys these days.  Brady needs to learn how to feature Cook once in a while... like we used to do with Thurman.  I would have liked to see Cook get twenty or more touches.

This team didn’t play well enough to say a fourth down miracle heave drop is why we lost.

 

It sucks that Kincaid isn’t going to turn into a superstar, but I ain’t putting this on his feet.

Oh dalton….  I heard you were way better than Brock Bowers and Matt Laporte!  Where are you Dalton?  🤦🏻‍♂️ 

 

it was there.  My boy failed.

A very disappointing season for Kincaid as a whole.  I think Knox was clearly the better of the two.

 

Don't want to call him a bust yet, but definitely a sophomore slump. Clearly underachieved and underperformed this year.

Why the heck did they keep putting Coleman out there? Ugh. 😑 This one hurts. Cooper would’ve gave us more.

Coleman just doesn't know how to highpoint the ball while under pressure from a db yet. There's an art to getting enough space to get the ball but he's not good at that yet.

I think philly runs it on them with ease

That was a bad spot. This is all on Kincaid. He's a professional and needs to make that play.
