So it's a Superbowl with the two most obnoxious fan bases in the league. Hopefully, both teams lose.

Perhaps it was a bad day, but at present, the Bengals are better than the Bills. That Bengals are also better than Kansas City, as they'll remind the Chiefs on Sunday.

Need more high percentage short and intermediate passes, and I can't understand why Allen doesn't throw them especially as the offensive line is mediocre at best and he's always under pressure. Perhaps he's always looking for the sort of rush he got from the KC game last year where his long ball was unstoppable.

I guess this means that CS&N really isn't getting back together.

I think it's partially because he's old school middle America. He grew up on a farm, never had anything given to him, he succeeded against pretty long odds because of his perseverance and enormous talent, and has apparently remained humble. He fights through injuries without complaining. It's an Horatio Alger story. People want to root for a guy like that.

While I agree with your dad, there is clear evidence that God always backs the winner. You never hear losing players giving thanks to God.

He’s the only reason Bills have a chance. But this season was his worst of the last three. Terrible red zone interceptions and the Minnesota botched snap were really bad. Too much hero ball. Just like today. Take the sack and get 3 points. Even if it is KC or Cinci. Missing out on 4 points is way less worse than coughing up the ball in the red zone.
As bright as he is, I can't figure out why he continues to commit so many unforced errors. Perhaps it's just his supreme confidence because he knows when he's playing well, he's always going to be the best player on the field.
Allen also had arm problems for much of the year. Early in the year, he was playing lights out and then he injured his elbow. Hopefully at some point in his career, Allen plays behind a quality offensive line. More time to throw the ball would help his already impressive stats and perhaps the hero ball would diminish.

McDermott knew the Dolphins were getting a flag and didn't want the Bills to get one too. A 15 yard penalty against the other team is worth the possibility of getting crushed by 600 pounds worth of opposing linemen.
I love the shot of Allen dusting himself off and walking back onto the field while the guys went at it on the sidelines behind him.

Miami put up more of a fight than I thought they would, but when it came down to it and the game was tied, Tua had the ball and failed, while Josh took the ball, took up all the remaining time and won the game!
That’s the difference between a winner like Josh Allen and a loser like Tua.
About midway through the fourth quarter, the Bills were stuck in first gear, and Allen got pissed off and decided to take over the game. He ran the ball fifty or sixty yards down the field, and that was the turning point.

The Bills seem most effective in the two minute offense when Allen is making most of the decisions. I remember something similar 35 years ago when the Bills noticed that Kelly could move the ball at will in the hurry up offense. Eventually they used the hurry up offense nearly all the time and Kelly called most of the plays. The Bills didn't go to those four Super Bowls because of their defense. Perhaps the Bills should give the Allen the reins for a series or two and see what happens when he calls his own plays.

Can he play safety?

Just one 5 yard pass please!!!!!! It's such a tragedy to be that close to 10k.
Andre Reed has kept himself in pretty good shape, and he's only what, 59?

Just get in the playoffs and wins 3 or 4 in a row. This team is highly capable of doing that.
You will when the Bills are playing on the road in KC in January.

I wonder what our win percentage was with 13 seconds left against KC last year and then this game after we stuffed Cousins. Just amazing to think you can come away with 2 losses when you had to be over 95 percent in those games, both in last minute. And I would love to know the exact percentages.
Dunno about the KC game, but I'm pretty sure the odds of losing this game after Cousins was stuffed was multiple thousands to one.

The thing that's most impressive about the Bills is that they don't just break your heart once. They find a way to do it two or three times in a single game.

An old toothless gypsy placed a curse on the Bills just before their first Superbowl. All the talent in the world isn't enough to overcome a gypsy curse.

I have already forgiven the two interceptions Allen threw against Green Bay.

Sounds like they were not happy with his practice habits earlier in the season. If you don't bring your A game to every single practice under this coaching staff, you will not get opportunities to play. Hopefully he's learned what it takes to succeed at the professional level and he can start being a major factor for the offense.
It will be interesting to see how quickly he figures it all out. He's surrounded by some consummate professionals, including Devin Singletary who, as Josh Allen says, does everything right and gets the most of out of his talent. I believe Singletary worked out with Cook in Florida in the off season and has said he wants to provide him the same sort of mentoring for him that he got from Frank Gore. Cook has no excuse not to excel.

Hopefully they will bury him with some swizzle sticks that will bend but not break.

The best screen names are when you just use the name that your parents gave you.

Allen's stated self-improvement project this off-season was to improve YAC.
Well, he delivered.
This is the pattern with Allen. Every year, he looks back on the previous season, figures out what he can do better, and works with Jordan Palmer to improve it.
Based on his performance so far this season, in the next off season he's going to struggle to find out stuff to fix.

Bengals @ Chiefs AFC Championship (Please do not bring Bills commentary in here)
in The Stadium Wall

I've learned from watching these post-game interviews that God always backs the winner. Maybe He laid money on the Chiefs.
