Yes. good points. That pass play on 1st and goal at the 1, AND the two pass plays at the end of the 1st half were really a case of outsmarting yourself. Damn. It cost the game. Boomer Esiason, while clearly indicating Taylor decided the pass at the goal line, clearly blamed the coaches for allowing TT to have the run/pass option in the first place. Also, was it just me that screamed at the Bills to get a play off quickly before the challenge flag could be thrown by Marrone.. to no avail? McD is a first year coach, and he has made a lot of these time managament errors all year. Which is not surprising for a rookie, but it is from a "process" cerebral coach. That and many missed throws by Tyrod. He's so cautious he prefers to overthrow players instead of risking the INT. Am I hallucinating or in his first year for the Bills he had a great deep ball and wasn't afraid to throw it? And to add insult to injury Bortles clearly outplayed Tyrod in the run game.

Now THAT'S the spirit

He avoids some sure sacks with quite spectacular elusiveness, and creates some by holding the ball too long, but mostly by never seemingly using audibles at the line. A toss up overall... but I sure wished he'd audible, made more pre-snap reads.

I thought the same too. For all the deserved criticism against Dennison, the players missed some well designed gems ALL, and I do mean ALL QBs miss throws. But yeah, I was really pissed at one too

Ha ha. Awesome

Well I hope first of all they get far, all the way if possible Otherwise, I hope it is indeed "phase 1". I don't want to be a party pooper but there will be again a LOT of roster changes next year, some stars getting older, draft picks could be great, average or busts, etc. Lots of unknowns. We could remain a 6-10 to 10-6 team for years. We just don't know. The thing is to enjoy the moment!

I sure hope that happens ha ha. Yes I do. Team first.

Great article indeed. Thanks for sharing. One thing Coach McD has successfully done, is create that true team spirit, the players really caring for one another and the common goal. Us fans have been awesome too and it all add to something beautiful

Romo has some amazing insights, enthusiasm, and is funny

Indeed. TBH I didn't notice her. But I could tell Terry was nervous and it was awesome. For all the normal bickering and infighting among fans, players, coaches and GMs, journalists, and on and on and on, we were all on the same ride with the same desires, and it felt awesome.

I love me some Shady but if he is at 80% than other RBs, even Tolbert, are better options. The Incognito-Shady duo has been dynamite for the Bills.

Last year the Bills were a few plays from being playoff bound with Rex Ryan! Some made field goals and tackles, coach challenges, and boom. An really, many years of that drought could have been playoff years if not for a few plays. The difference between winning and losing is often so thin that I do laugh at the "expert predictions". Sure none expect the Browns to be 12-4 next year or the Patriots to go 3-13. But otherwise yes 6-10 or 10-6 can be had by a few select plays.

That's how I saw it too. It seems these close calls have so much gone against the Bills that he and other players - and myself and surely other fans - just lost it and went crazy for a minute. Great, real reaction. I loved it actually. Except for the part he seemed winded and had to get back on the field LOL

Yeah I jumped off the couch and was on my knees banging the floor. Then my poor GF received the brunt of my excitement. I'm sure it hurt LOL

I just realized my current GF is 17.5 years younger than me, just like the drought. There is some good in my ex breaking up my family in 2017 after all!

Same here. Here's to you!!!!!!!!

Here I go tearing up again

Our reaction video to the 4th and 12 TD: I cried.

Haaaaaaaaa. I don'ty recall loving another team's play so much! My kids weren't born yet. I had long hair (metalhead)

I teared up. Yet I wasn't fully in the moment... but the Bengals delivered too! Sooooooooo awesome!

Hell yeah! Usually "settling for the playoff berth" is loserville. But hell not this time! At the very least the team, the fans, everybody needed that monkey off our backs! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!! The Flutie Curse is broken!!!!

Hell yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh I couldn't believe they not only converted 4th and 12, but scored the TD!!!

Thing is, half the roster is new this year. Crazy when you think about it. But next year, a lot of vets will either be gone or will have slowed down. It's such a crapshoot if the Bills will be better, worse or about same level next year. In all probability, they will be improved in a lot of areas and really regress in others, in a way the GM and coaches can't even predict. I don't recall such volatility on the player side of things. For coaches, hell yes, but not for the players. The Bills will be quite different next year, regardless of the draft and trades. What these will decide is if the team has the tools to succeed or not. Luck will matter as much as many other factors, as even middle of the road level guys will impact one way or another.

The season is short and mega intense, and that's one of the main reason of the NFL's major success IMO. So adding Thursday games, Saturdays, and on and on has actually diminished the cravings... but it is stilt VERY strong. I hear ya. Though today is different as it could, AT LAST, NOT be the end of the season for the Bills!
