Hard to beat the Chiefs and the refs every post-season

I'm all for doing the same thing over and over and over until the other team stops it. From what I saw, the Ravens started to make it look less than automatic and for sure tonight KC did. In the regular season Josh would make it a yard or more past the mark. Last week and tonight it wasn't the gimme it was regular season and actually got stopped. 

That's the thing... what was our other play?  You do something 30/32 times... and that's a trend.  I'd be mad if they tried something different.

I'm leaving this sport. Maybe sports altogether.

 

It's too much, man.  I can't keep doing this.

Because we're clearly better than the Chiefs. We were not clearly better than the Ravens. Unfortunately for all of us, no one is better than the referees.

That’s an opinion that I didn’t share. We’re better in the Oline and running attack. KC has better DLine and receivers. Besides, the better teams don’t always win. Especially in the playoffs.

 

I thought the refs did a decent job aside from a couple spotting issues.

Kincaid on the third down got the first on the replay Dave Pourtneoy shares below and then the line judge on the far right has the coprrect spot and they went with the ref on the left who can not see what the ref on the rigth see's

 

 

 

A lot bothers me with this sequence.

 

1- The first down was made on that 3rd down play.

 

2- Why didn’t McDermott’s retired ref the Bills employ in the booth phone down to let McDermott know to challenge the spot?

 

3- Why the rush to try a sneak? Why not take your time, settle down, and at least try to hard count the offside before snapping it?

 

4- If not for rushing this 4th down play, maybe the retired ref would have had time to phone down to McDermott? 

 

5- Josh made the first down on that 4th down play. The ref on the far side of the field had it marked as a first down. It was a bad spot.

Refs did a terrible job..  Those spotting issues were key.  Same time, KC out coached AND outplayed us.  Multiple things can be true at the same time.

I was honestly impressed the Bills D got a FG stop later on. 

 

Tell ya what though, you can bag on the Bills D all you want, but they gave the offense the ball with the chance to take th eleade because they held the chiefs to 2 scoring drives in the 2nd half, one of which was off that bull#### 4th down stop

This is a conference championship game on the road against the two time defending Super Bowl champion with a top 5 defense.  The offense can not be expected to score points on every position in that situation. Had the Bills D played half as good against the Chiefs O as the Bills O played against the Chiefs D the Bills win this game.

 

The simple fact is that the D was 90% responsible for the loss and the O was 10% responsible.

I am seriously considering not watching very many games if any next year.  I mean what's the point? It just feels so scripted now . We've lost 4x in a row to them,  what makes anyone think a 5th time would be any different? You could literally give the bills saquon and Puka and I still wouldn't feel confident . 

 

If there's no hope why continue ?

Come on people! The Bills got the ball with over 3 minutes left and all three timeouts. Josh simply didn’t get it done. To date it defines his legacy. 

I’m usually critical of Allen but this is on the whole offense to me. He did slid the line protection the wrong way on that 4th down but you can tip your cap to Spags on that one. That blitz was well designed.

Spotting "issues" like turning a game winning drive into a turnover on downs? Just small things like that?

Ok man … you have been a good contributor… all the best ….

 

I’ve heard Buffalo has a hockey team

You’re not wrong. Princess Mahomes gets every call and even dives to try and draw flags. The obvious play that was called a catch that touched the ground. Reviewed and what? Wrong call on the field.. wrong call after the booth review. But incredibly, that wasn’t the main reason this team lost today.. and no, it was not on the players either.

First half I agree. 2nd half I don't. But I also think the REFS cost the Bills in the 2nd half

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Way too much time and effort for a predetermined outcome.

Still had a shot to win at the end. Just couldn’t do it…this time.

TBF they already called the utterly bogus defensive holding on that play which would have given the Chiefs a first down on the 20

The game is NOT rigged.  There's just an awful disconnect between human & machine that is grossly effecting outcomes.  The mundane part of the games are going swimmingly well between humans & machine.  The games move along in 3 to 3.5 hours!

 

Sober up. Re-evaluate. Then post again.

The well-coached (and more talented) playoff teams knew that was our trend and adjusted. We didn't counter - except for Josh's dive over the top.

But they didn't have a shot. That's the point. They did it, and it was just taken away. If they had done it again, it would have been taken away again.

Then why can’t Buffalo ever get any ticky tack “human” errors to go their way ?

If you really believe this I suggest stop watching football. It’ll be better for your mental health. 
 

For me… if Kincaid made that catch we’d win.
