If I said to you before the game, the Bills will be down 3 with the ball and 3:35 remaining....

[Special K]

would you not have taken that scenario before the game??

 

I know I would have.....and I would be expecting a TD drive to win it.

 

I bet that 8 times out of 10, the Bills would have at least gotten a FG in that situation, and maybe 4 out of 10 the Bills score a TD in that scenario.

 

That leaves a 2 out of 10 chance the Bills score no points in that scenario.......and unfortunately that is exactly what we got.

 

After the Bills D held the Chefs to that FG on the most important 1st and Goal situation of the season, I thought for sure the Bills would write the storybook ending we all hoped for, but it didn't happen.

 

Really feel defeated right now, because I don't feel that the game was taken away from the Bills, I think they had it in their hands and let it slip away.🤢

Tough to disagree with your take.

 

Even though we got screwed by the refs, the Bills did overcome it and had a chance to win it. 

 

Questionable play calling did us in.

I'd have said exactly what I posted in the 2nd half GameDay thread while the Bills were driving in the scenario you describe:

 

Where else would you rather be?

[T.E.]

We are the first team who had the best QB in the league and decided to be run-first.

[streetkings01]

Every game can’t be reliant on a Josh Allen game winning drive. Just once the defense needs to put together a big game when it really counts not just against the Patriots and Broncos, but against the Chiefs! 

[Conlan58]

Seriously? This is how you are coping with yet another epic coaching failure? No, I would not have been happy to take that because I could have told you with 100% confidence the Bills lose that game every time with McDumbass running the ship.

I figured if we’d win we’d dominate in the trenches and if it was close we’d lose so I probably wouldn’t have taken it either

The exact same thing happened last year, as you may recall.

I'll go you one better. I would have signed up for that at half time when the only KC drive that didn't end with a TD was due to their botched RPO/handoff - just outside of the red zone.

If you gave Mahomes 3 and a half minutes with timeouts with a chance to take the lead, he’s not going 4 plays and out. 
 

That last drive was an embarrassment. That first down play call was bad but my franchise QB has to keep the sticks moving. 3 plays to get 10 yards and couldn’t do it. That can’t happen. That’s what separates Mahomes from Allen

He did make a crazy throw in the face of blitz this hit his TE right in the hands.  That should have been an amazing completion to move the sticks.

That was an all time incredible play if Kincaid comes down with it which he probably should’ve

Not saying it was the ideal situation to be in, but it was one that I feel the Bills should've been able to capitalize on, and it stinks that they didn't.

[MPL]

Nope. Had to be a two-score game. That was the only way bills were going to win it.

They would have had to play it absolutely perfectly to steal the lead and not give Mahomes the ball back with time.

There were better paths to winning that game, imo.

As a veteran QB you gotta know the blitz is coming. Why even throw that pass? You gotta check that and have your WR’s run an option route to get the ball faster. He panicked and threw a jump ball.

Second year in a row a Bills receiver didn't come down with a catchable ball in a critical situation against the Chiefs in the playoffs. IMO the throw was more difficult than the catch. Then again we saw Andrews miss a catchable ball last week. Sh!t happens.

Faster?  He had like a second.  The Bills didn’t slow the blitz at all.  Yet Allen found a way to get the ball to tight end and throw a ball he likely should have caught.  You can’t put the blame on Josh there.  His TE let him down

He made the right read from what I saw, at least post-snap.

I think he was just a hair late because he pulled his eyes down for a split second to finally recognize the corner blitz keeping him from getting outside and that hesitation forced him to be late coming back to it and have to throw it falling backwards where he couldn't deliver it with strength or touch.

Kincaid was coming wide open into the zone the corner had vacated and the safety was late enough it might have even had a chance to score.
