I learned from history and expected nothing other than a loss today. Nothing will change with McDermott
I did too. But it didn't make it any easier. Because once again the bills found themselves in a great position to win.

I hate to say it - because for 90% of the game the guy was the reason we were winning - but Allen NOT throwing to Diggs on 2nd and 9 is the play that is going to keep flashing in my head for the next month. Not Bass missing.

Well atleast next year the future looks bad. Need new safeties, wr's, Half the d line with no cap space
Not sure if that makes it any better, but I am at the point where I don't believe we can ever beat KC in the playoffs, so it is feeling pretty pointless to me right now, and yet... I can't get out... I hate being a Bills fan lol.

That is what I want to know.
Who cares about the future right now?
KC just ended our season for the 3rd time in 4 years.
I mean... I can't even get myself to care about that right now. And it's going to take a while. I am amazed so many of you are able to do that - almost immediately - following a loss like this.

IF the team gets to play Baltimore, will guys on D be back?
We can't afford to have backups out there against elite QB's. They will be picked apart.
Probably yes, considering all of these injuries seem short term. And that also assumes nobody else gets hurt against KC.

Bills now know they can beat KC. They are 2-0 vs. KC since "13 seconds". They match up much better against KC than Cincinnati. Now, they need to do it when it matters most, in the playoffs. I can't even accept the idea of Bills losing to KC again. I hope the players feel the same way. It simply CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. For 3 of your last 4 seasons to end at the hands of KC??? It can't happen. I want ALLEN to be the one going up to Mahomes after the game saying "Amazing game bro. We are gonna keep on doing this for years!" or whatever BS Mahomes said to Allen after 13 seconds, and I want to see if Mahomes will show the same sportsmanship that Allen did, in that moment (bet he doesn't!)

Is there a deadline for Taron to clear concussion protocol? Can this drag out till tomorrow morning?

When I think about the injuries, I'm not so much worried about the "out" guys. I'm concerned that some of the players might be playing pretty hurt, and thus less effective.
But, everyone is pretty banged up this time of year. We've been playing up KC's relative health compared to the Bills, but they have a whole list of guys they cleared today who likely aren't 100% either.
Our depth is great this year, too. Might be the best it's been in the JA era.
Funny I sometimes think about this too. I.e. one of the positives about using backups at this time of the season is that they’re fresh and don’t have the same wear and tear as starters have accumulated throughout the season. That’s why, when you have a guy like Elam, for instance, who is basically fresh and completely healthy and there isn’t much of a drop off in talent between him and the guy in front of him (imo) I sometimes wonder if it might not necessarily be a disadvantage. That said, I don’t think he even plays over Dane Jackson, but just an example.-

Interesting the KC d was able to completely shut down Achane, despite run D being the “weak link” of their defense. I don’t think I remember Achane getting shut down outside of that game.
1 minute ago, Special K said:Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought heard one of the talking heads say that the Chiefs D is way better at home than they are on the road.
Sort of like the Browns D.
Kinda interesting because if I’m not mistaken there isn’t much difference between chiefs home and away records this year. -

McDermott said Taron is in concussion protocol.
Players in concussion protocol are never "day to day". There's a specific process they have to go through.
I understand. Just thought that process technically qualified as “day to day” as well, since, it kind of is, even though it’s behind the scenes.

Doesn't mean they won't have guys drop like flies during the game tho as we have seen the last few weeks...
Players are always overly optimistic about their ability to play...it's the trainers that sometimes need to "save players from themselves" in those ways. Likely would have been a prime candidate to re-injure during the game if he played. The extra rest and treatments should allow for much lower chances of that.
I never see that happen with them. Have you? I agree that it should happen from time to time; every team goes through it once in a while, but they do not.
And when someone does go down, they are back in a series or two. Rashee Rice went down against Miami and was back in a couple series.
Meanwhile, Miami must have had at least 3-4 players go down during the game.
On a side note, the fact that I found myself passionately rooting for Miami in that game was a realization of how deep my hatred for KC has become 😆 So admittedly, that factors into my bitterness on this subject, but either way, it remains a fact. Since Mahomes entered the league, I don't remember KC dealing with any "significant" injuries on their entire team in the playoffs except for Honey Badger. And the fact that it's just ONE GUY over 7 playoff runs is just.... 🤦♂️ forget it
8 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said:Word from reporters, so it wasn't just a fever dream
That is AWESOME news on Bernard.
However, I did not see Taron Johnson on that list.
Wouldn't he technically be day-to-day, as well?
Or did he not have a concussion?

It's a massive, massive ask. Especially with the three teams we'll need to beat to win the thing.
But writing off this team is for losers.
(Makes you realise, though, that you really need the first seed if you plan on winning this thing)
unless you’re KC. They are of course fully healthy at the right time (again). No injuries vs Miami. Just a minor scare to Rice. -
Aside from the punter…
any updates on Benford? Spector?
-
Wild card weekend is the only playoff round with Monday games, correct? I.e. no chance that divisional round between winner of Chiefs-dolphins and Bills-steelers would be played on Monday?

You want to show some stats to backup these claims? I don't see anything where PIT is a much better- if better at all- run team.
everyone assumes the Steelers are a good run team because they suck at passing, when the reality is, for the vast majority of the year, they were bad at everything on offense.-

This is the best possible game for Rapp and Douglas to miss. Pittsburgh won't throw it more than 15 times.
Everybody thinks the bad weather helps the Steelers soooo much. It doesn't. It actually takes away the one element of their game that could surprise -- the passing game.
I think people believe it helps Steelers in the sense it keeps the game within striking distance. Remember all the games they won during the first half of the season despite being significantly outgained on offense? I am pretty sure they broke some type of record in the process (not the type of record you are proud of breaking). If a game is low scoring and teams are within 1 score of each other throughout the game, it is dangerous no matter which team is playing better than the other, and the Steelers were thriving on that earlier in the year - until it finally caught up to them - but it seems Rudolph has rejuvenated the entire offense. I just hope we can force the Steelers into a lot of 3rd and long situations. If we can do that, and avoid them on our side, we will be fine.

To be fair, most of us were in doubt as well, after the Eagles game 😆

well this certainly makes me feel like it’s probably not serious (fingers crossed)
It was definitely kind of interesting how Rasul was the only injured player (besides Dawkins who returned) that was never actually ruled “out”.
This is great because he was the most important injured player by far. Followed by Dodson, but there’s a decent drop from Rasul to Dodson imo.
Gabe I’m not even worried about hate to say it. Too many big moments this year where Allen bets on Davis and they just aren’t on the same page at all. All I know is I didn’t see that stuff happening once Davis checked out.

discussed by the media? who...frickin...cares.
I can’t speak for us fans in TBD, but whenever players say they don’t pay attention to what the media says, I generally don’t buy it.Because if that were the case, why do so many players love to play the disrespect card? I.e. “everyone wrote us off after week 1 vs jets” forgot who said that recently but it was one of our defenders, and whether or not that was true in the first place, the mere fact that is one of their first reactions is an indication to me that yes, they do care. And I’ll bet THEY care more than we do
but I say if it makes them play better I am all for it.
in fact, have them watch nothing but Nick Wright clips before the game. That’s what I’d do.

The Ravens helped us by beating MIA, so can't be mad tonight. I would've liked a W from them so I could sleep easy tonight.
But we all know this is going to come down to a Bills Win to get in. If McD can't get the boys fired up for that (in the case the TN game goes in JAX favor), then that's the talk of the offseason.
and they helped us by losing to the Bengals in 2017 to end the drought. Can’t expect them to come through every time.

I don’t care how many of those guys on Miami end up playing. It doesn’t change the fact that they are hurting a LOT more than us. No excuses.
if we can’t beat a Miami team that is more beat up than they have been all season, then it was never meant to be.

There's the option of losing to Miami, still getting in with a jags or pit loss and then losing WC right? That
I was looking for that too. Don’t think it would be my choice though. -
I would like to know, of the 46% that said Bills win SB, how many of you were saying the same thing last year? The year before? 😆

I like how the anomalies are Miami. Dude always plays well against Miami. Home or away it seems.

How do fans even think about the future at times like this?

Been here since before Wide Right Part 1 (assuming this game is about to be labeled "Wide Right II")
So no.
And that's exactly why I feel the way I do.
In fact, on a side note, I've been waiting since "The Comeback" for the Bills to be on the winning end of a classic game that gets its own name. We always lose those games. Makes it hard to "look forward" to the next year, among other things.
