13 seconds.

How are there SO many breakdowns? SO many guys just WIDE open. This team has played a full season, shouldn't have so many mistakes and confusion.

IF the Bills pull this out of course I'll be glad, but this shouldn't be happening. This is maddening. Even with a win it will be hard to get over just how bad this D is playing....next level awful.

If the D screws this up they probably DESERVE to lose.

13 seconds. 2 or 3 plays max. Can you keep them out of FG range? Normally automatic, but I can't say that now.

4 down territory the rest of the way. With 3 timeouts, might as well as 2 full minutes. Get it done.

This Defense just SUUCCKKKKSSSSSS

KC only needs to get in FG range and has 4 downs to go for it every time. How does the D-stop them? NEED a tipped pass int or strip sack fumble.

Great play, but too much time left. I don't like the Bills chances at all of keeping KC out of field goal range when they will go for it on all 4 downs.

That was a bad play. Josh should have thrown it at his feet. Singletary should have knocked it down. But, you still have one play. One play for your MVP caliber QB to make a play. You are playing a pretty average-at-best pass Defense, just get the first down. Here is your shot.

its dumb but it is the rule. If the bills player went OB by himself, I'd be more upset at who actually did that.

If I was KC, no way I'm punting it here, just as bad of a move by them as Daboll in the first half for Buf.

Unless it is an Allen run...but ONLY when he sees a huge opening and its an easy 10+ yards.

to get beat by a team that is clearly better than you on the field is bad....but it is NO WHERE near as frustrating as having wasted some possessions with conservative playcalling....when the other team CAN NOT STOP YOU otherwise.

Ok normally I would not like when people are complaining about the Bills going conservative, but I totally agree this time. When they open it up, the chiefs can't stop them. When they go conservative they are getting stopped. And they NEED to keep up with KC. The Bills could very well lose this game and have their season ended WITHOUT having put their best gameplan on the field. It will truly be a case of the Bills giving away the game.

Lets see if the Bills go all out to try to score..or if they run the ball because they are afraid of getting KC the ball back before half.

Rodgers is a tough one for me to figure out. His stats in the regular season are great. His stats in the playoffs are really really good (if not great). But when I watch him play in the playoffs, something is missing. It just isn't the end result either, its almost when there is a tight game, he isn't the one making the critical mistake causing his team to lose. Instead it just seem like he has a hard time taming that one play to put the other team away, he doesn't land the knockout blow. To further the boxing analogy, he is that boxer who looks great against lesser opponents...and even against the better opponents he looks good and can 'score points' with the judges, but never can seem to land that knockout blow as often as he should when things count.

So when you have facts against you and you have nothing left to say, just say something dumb like that. Gotcha. lol You people don't understand what 'pure football' is, do you? you just don't get it. Pure football is having every aspect of the athletes ability available. Pure football is watcing every aspect of football played without outside factors limiting it. Just because for some reason you WANT other variables to take that away, doesn't mean its better football your way. You are just wrong, neanderthal thinking.

Wrong. Pure football is seeing every single thing that players and coaches are capable of doing on the field. You say tackling, running, coaching and execution are what is pure football? Well Duh, welcome to my original point, although I think you missed a big one in their called 'passing' that in todays modern game teams kinda like to do. In bad weather games, those things become very limited, VERY limited. Coaches run a much different/more limited game plan, Running on a snow covered field can be 25% slower (if not more) and you can't see the players make cuts or moves as well. Passing, it can be VERY limited on a windy day. Pure football? To me that is seeing everything that each and every player have to offer at 100% of their ability to exeucute. I'm not sure exactly what you consider as pure football, because it appears that doesn't involve passing the ball.

But it just isn't. It doesn't matter how thing were 'done in the past', but the game played with all options open...with the players top level skill not being diminished, with the coaches having 100% of their playbook open and able to be used...simply is not in bad weather. Everytime a game is played in bad weather, more athleticism and coaching options are taken away than are added by the conditions.

Yeah, so you 'paper tough guys' can go to a game in person and watch something less than pure football....so when it is snowing, or has strong winds....you get 75% of the playbook or more that can't be used and we see a bastardized version of football. Smart, really smart...but hey, if you think it makes you tough and other people babies...then you just keep thinking that. 🤣

Belicheck was never as good as the 'god' they proclaimed him to be when the Pats were on top....and he isn't as bad as those who want him gone now. He is a very good coach, a great D-coordinator, Who was elevated to 'best ever' status because of a QB he had (and a bit of cheating, which SOME say is good coaching if you get a way with it). Now, he is getting a bit older, but I don't think the game as passed him by...just now he as a less talented roster with a rookie QB. Maybe a new coach would be a good idea, but I don't think if they had a different coach with this current team they would have done much/any better. Calling for a coaches head/job is par for the course with sports fans, and in some cases media. We have a couple people on this forum and a couple threads that pop up that say "McDermott must go!" after the Bills lose a game. That is just how some people are.

Not the Boston media, but more about their fanbase and how they are 'entitled' and still don't get that it is over for them for a while... I don't troll pats forums for the fun of it, but I am a member and used to contribute there, as I lived in Boston 2 times for 4-5 years in the past. So I always have checked in on those forums on a regular basis, even when not playing the Bills. There is an active discussion there about what the pats need to do to be competitve for a title again...the thing that struck me is...not even half way down the first page and there are posts saying stuff like... "We need a good draft this year so we can be back in the Superbowl in a couple years". Another post on the very first page was..."Not worried about AFC competition. We just need to tweak some things, add more youth/talent, have good injury luck, and continue to improve. We will be fine. We were literally 2 wins away from being the #1 seed in the conference." Another thing about the Boston media....a lot of them have their "5 thoughts" or "15 thoughts" about the game articles and most of them I have read, from the MEDIA, complains about the officiating and how it hurt the Pats. Boston.com had an article up yesterday where it was the 2nd or 3rd thing mentioned. Mark Morse had an article where he listed missed calls by the officials that hurt the Pats, but not one call was mentioned the other way. Its not a surprise, but they REALLY do think everything about that franchise is just so much better than anywhere else that it will be a quick fix and they will be on their way to Superbowls again. It'll be a tough few years listening to those fans, but they will come back to earth, eventually.

The Pats might have a few years of struggling to even make a wildcard, let a long contend for a division title. Miami is going through some changes, but the Pats just don't match up well against them. And unless the Bills take some serious steps back, there are 4 games for the Pats they will be lucky to go 2-2, with 1-3 more likely. Is Mac Jones the answer? Can get get a lot better? The physical talent isn't great, but he could become more accurate and even better at making reads...so I won't rule out he will be a very good QB...but odds are what we saw might be his ceiling for the next few years. he could get better but many QB's have that 2nd year where Defenses adjust to them. It normally is more difficult for QBs with less physical talent. The Defense. They are going to rely on it for a while, but again, we may have seen their best year this year for a while. J.C. Jackson is their 'superstar' and they are likely to pay him like one...but from all I have seen of him, he is a good DB that can be beaten by good wrs. McCourty, Collins, and Hightower have been the playmakers here in the past, but they are all on the wrong side of 30 years old and all of them are showing major signs of slowing down. They have a lot of young guys on that D-unit, but none of them are showing consistent signs of being difference makers. They aren't picking until 21st in the draft (I think), and they only have 4 picks in the first 5 rounds. (normally I'm not sweating not having a 5th rounder, but they need as many young/fast top 100 college talent guys as possible) If everything goes right for the Pats, the Bills and Phins have major injury issues next year...and the Jets fail to improve at all, then maybe the Pats can contend for a division title. I just see them being a 'middling' team for the next few years myself though.

I'm not someone who ever hated Brady like some do, but I'm about to turn of the game..not because it is a blowout..but the Brady this, Brady that, Brady, Brady, Brady. Is there ANTYHING they are saying to us that we haven't heard before. I know they have data on this, more than we do, but who actually likes to watch the game and doesn't get sick of hearing his name over and over?
