Can't believe they didn't even measure the Josh Allen first down..  Just reviewed it and said KC ball.. didn't even spot the ball

...

When’s the last time they measured for a first down? It’s like they want to make the decision.

You are ignoring the facts.  They are equal. KC got the edge on those sneaks they stopped.

The reality is the game was over before it even started. Don’t underestimate the negative psychological toll it takes on the players and coaches losing to your arch nemesis over and over again. This is the exact reason why the bills need to find a new coach with a new direction and path. McDermott isn’t a horrible coach. He is just outmatched and is no where near equal to Reid. And that’s the difference.

Dolphins and Jets have rings. 

No current fans of those teams have ever watched any one of those Super Bowls

Teams that win Lombardi's make that catch.

 

That wasn't the only reason we lost, but it certainly was a big one.

[Demongyz]

2 possessions stolen from the Bills.

 

I quit football.  ***** THE NFL!

[Roundybout]

Also what the heck happened to Rasul Douglas? The last half of this season, he’s been borderline unplayable 

[Gilberto]

Being a Buffalo Bills fan is not about winning, it’s about managing disappointment.

[Buffalo Ballin]

Our defense needs to get younger and faster.

 

Our current batch gots to go.

Wasn't a fan of Brady's play calling in the forth. Too many missed opportunities and predictable 4th and 1 situations. KC obviously prepared for the snow plow and kept trying. Josh is still amazing and Kincaid is this years goat. 

Thought he righted the ship in the 3rd with the rushing game that has made us the “balanced” team everyone has been lauding.  Made several calls that we could not afford to fail on in the 4th quarter and I’d like to know why.  

[Bangarang]

Can Brady go for that second interview? His offense and play calling go completely limp at the worst times and he relies way too much on Josh being extraordinary. 

 

Kincaid, Coleman, Bishop, and Elam are all mediocre players who were drafted high and expected to be impact players. That's on Beane. 

 

Cook was by far our best player and for whatever reason he was kept out of the game for long stretches. 

 

The defense crumbled at the worst times and there just aren't any difference makers on that side of the ball. That is also on Beane.

 

It's just so sad watching us waste a generational QB in the prime of his career with a mediocre supporting cast.

Josh wasn’t great today. Brady needed a little more ingenuity. 
 

say what you will about the defense, they played good enough to win us the game in the second half. 
 

That Kinkaid drop though will be infamous. They should trade him. Huge disappointment 

Defense held KC to that last fg was huge. I thought that was it. Allen was going to drive the field for a winning TD and exorcise all past demons. Man it was right there.

Josh was late finding the right read and made that catch way harder than it needed to be.

Kincaid should have made the tough catch, but he also shouldn't have had to.

He was under intense, immediate pressure... I can't see how he was late with the read running for his life.

Beane always says that the last game of the year shows you where you need to improve----

• DL and Edge is not good, especially against the run, need to get younger   No game changers, everyone is so slow its like watching paint dry. 
• CB's, not any talent there after Benford.   Safety play is suspect, and that includes Rapp.   
• Need more depth of LBs.   With the sets that they play, they're going to need a replacement for Milano shortly. 
• WR's are too slow.   Cooper is not an answer.   Coleman may turn out to be a long-term project, if he will be any good at all. 

Sad end to the season, but knew that KC was always looming.  

Your first points are definitely true.

But I also think The scheme/coordinator isn't good enough. Which is on McDermott and Babich

This is another learning experience I'm sure per McDummy, we will learn from this ...🙄 apparently he still hasn't learned anything & figured it out after 8 years in big games.

 

Sick of KC and if I have to see Taylor Swift one more time jump up and down as they Pan the camera to her every single play with the phoniness, I'll puke!

 

Enough, Buffalo deserves better!!!

How many "learning experiences" does one coach get? What are we 0-4 against them in the playoffs?

That is the fourth down play right?

[Norcalbillsfan]

There's alot of blame on brady tonight. I think overall he had a meh game. But his OBSESSION with WR/TE screens blows my mind. The broncos, ravens, then chiefs absolutely ate those plays up. And he calls it with the game on the line. I dont understand 

[PastaJoe]

I don’t blame Kincaid for missing the ball on a scramble play. I blame the coaches for not anticipating the blitz and having the appropriate blocking scheme.
