Agreed. Need that playmaking, gamechanging, plan around him kind of guy. What gives me hope is Beane keeps drafting DEs high & went after the likes of JJ Watt.

I said squib, but would have been fine w/ a sky kick too. Did they have Tyreek deep?

A couple of those were awful. Our DBs just had a hand on the WR’s hip with no jersey grabbing which is 100% allowed.

We definitely don’t suck on defense though. To me it’s coaching not personnel.

How is it that KC mainly using Ward and after losing Mathieu to concussion can basically cancel out Diggs & Knox, but our defense regularly left Hill & Kelce run free?

I hear you, but it’s not like KC’s defense played way better than ours. Thirteen seconds is handled differently or the coin lands on the other side and we’re talking about how our D did just enough to keep us in the game. I will say for the investments made, our defensive line should be generating more sacks. I was going to say pressure, but you can pressure Mahomes for 8-9 seconds and he will still make a play at the end. Need sacks.

Allen is our answer to Mahomes.

The question I keep asking: why rush anyone? Give Mahomes all the time he wants (13+ seconds) and play coverage.

I think we are trending towards being the best team in the AFC over the next 5-10 years.

Not just playoffs. Add a quarter. It’s been a stupid set up all along to give so much importance to a coin flip. And not just because Allen didn’t touch the ball in OT tonight.

Some of the less-than-realistic hot takes on TBD post-game show why the 24 hour rule is a good one.

Yeah, but still Jimmy G just has no place in the Super Bowl

Still, Allen is 25 and QBs are regularly playing into their late 30s.

Plus that seems likely to be super entertaining. Would not mind Burrow or Stafford winning it. Jimmy G or Mahomes 🤮

It’s crazy the AFC has Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, & Herbert, plus strictly talent-wise Watson, not to mention possibly adding Wilson and/or Rodgers if they end up on the move.

I think we’re at the very least nearing the discussion of Diggs Davis being 1A and 1B not just 1 and 2. For whatever that distinction is worth.

It’s gotta be on the Buffalo Sports Heartbreak Mt Rushmore along w/ Wide Right, Music City Miracle, & No Goal.

I was thinking… why rush anyone? Give him all the time in the world and just don’t give up 40-45 yards. Almost as heinous is not having someone bumping Hill & Kelce and/or one of them doubled.

1) Why not squib it? 2) Why not drop 11 defenders back w/ :13 left? 3) How can Hill & Kelce be so free off the line at the end? 4) Where were Diggs & Knox? Other than those questions, I cannot help but be optimistic about this team. Gut punch loss that sucks. No two ways about it. But we have not only a franchise QB - we have easily a top 2-5 QB in the league. Stacked young roster. Amazing organization. Nothing stopping the Buffalo Bills from being Super Bowl contenders the next 10+ years. Next season the AFC goes through Buffalo.

My theme song for the game: Takin’ Care of Business by BTO These guys look laser focused.

I’m learning Shanahan deserves to be considered in the top tier of NFL coaches just as much as anyone. His teams play hard.

To be fair to Brady, it’s gotta be tough to play QB w/ Collinsworth’s nose shoved up his…

Upset, upset… upset, upset?

Collinsworth is by far the worst and most intolerable NFL announcer.

I think feeling threatened and being aware of the history are two separate things. McBeane, Josh, & Co. understand Buffalo and are definitely aware of the history so I would bet the importance to the fan base fueled them at least in part, but I don’t get the sense they are threatened.
