The D stopped the Chefs the last 3 drives of the game, playing with 3rd and 4th stringers.
Bills offense was 0-3 the last 3 drives. They could not even get a FG to tie.
Bills were 76% favorites on computer analysis when we had ball with 2:00 left- and the offense choked.
This loss is on the offense.
And if the ball wasn’t fumbled in the end zone after a fake punt with the score 20-17 in the 3rd quarter, would it still be about the offense? Or would it be just another example of McDermott having a lapse in judgement? 13 seconds of all things should have taught us that no matter how good your team is and no matter how well your qb plays, that one poor coaching mistake is enough to get you booted from the playoffs. Don’t even get me started on aj Klein covering kelce or Elam riding pine when Rasul Douglas can hardly move or our healthy d line registering barely any pressure.

After few days since another “Chiefs elimination”, my only thought is that unfortunately we will be stuck with McClapping.
I wanna be clear: overall he’s not a bad coach, but as many here stated tons of times, he’s not elite, he’s not a coach that can take his team to a Lombardi and win it.
I don’t know what is it, but he lacks something here and there, maybe is something about tactical skills, or maybe something about leadership and character, but he’s not a top dog, now is 6 years with Josh at QB ? With one of the top 3 QB in this League ?
So my view is that until he’ll be the coach, nothing could change about our chances to finally get there.
Honestly i envy the Chargers for the Harbaugh hire… i would like to have someone like BB… i don’t care about his past, we need a “bad man” at the helm, not some humble one.
And the worst part about it is that we will be having these very same discussions next season, while at the same time wasting another year of josh allen in his prime with no recourse.

We can all lament on how we just didn't get the breaks. Why did the injuries have to hit so significantly right before we played Kansas City? Why don't the bounces go our way.. Why is KC always seem to be luckier than us when it comes to staying healthy? McDermott even addressed this as something we need to look at re: the heavy injury situation we've faced lately.
Well...
It's a one game season in the Playoffs, but what you do all season has a massive effect on that one game season.
KC Road to the Super Bowl last year consisted of a BYE Week and then Home against a weak Divisional opponent in Jax.
BAL Road to the AFC Championship Game this year consisted of a BYE week and then Home against a weak Divisional opponent in Houston.
That matters.
And what else also matters?....
The fact that we had to go all out for the last 1/3rd of the season to even make the playoffs. The fact we had to go all out to win the Division in Week 18. The fact we had to play a grueling second half against Pittsburgh in the WC Round when we were about to run away with the game before halftime.
It all adds up..
KC didn't have a bye week, but they rested guys Week 18 and made easy work of the Dolphins.
We can all pretend that it's just about getting into the playoffs and letting the chips fall where they may.. but the 1 seed is an absurdly huge advantage in the new format and if you can't get that.. rest down the stretch becomes even more important.
We lost a few guys in that Miami game. And then we lost some guys in the Steelers game. We know guys were playing through injury, pushing themselves down the stretch. Bernard hurt his ankle against the Chargers, and then had to push through it.. maybe if he doesn't have to push so hard.. who knows.
But what I do know, is that now.. more than ever... it matters what you do in the regular season. And I can't help but believe, with the difference between winning and losing in these Chiefs games being so small.. that Week 18 mattered more than we could have ever known.
The 3 best teams in the AFC were Baltimore, KC and Buffalo. Baltimore had a two week bye. KC had a pseudo one week bye. Bills had to push all their chips in down the stretch.
It takes luck. Sometimes you have to make your own luck.
And this is exactly what happens when you are forced to play playoff football after going 6-6. Admirable that they came back, however not surprising they lost in the divisional round. But hey let’s run it back again with McDermott. Maybe things will be different. 🤦♂️

This reflects the prevailing wisdom in the national media regarding the Bills...we might not like it, but it's hard to refute it: "Josh Allen is amazing but the team around him is not good enough." Last night was Exhibit A for that argument.
Exhibit A? More like exhibit F.

There was nothing Sean McDermott could have done defensively to stop the Chiefs. We were down to our 3rd, 4th and 5th string LB. Rasul Douglass wasn’t himself. They were just too banged up at too many key positions and Mahomes/Reid took advantage of it.
That game had to be won upfront. The defensive line was our best unit all season and they were a total no show
Then maybe start Elam?

McDermott resigns.

McDermott is secured for another season because he led us to the 2nd seed and we won another Wild Card playoff game.
His future beyond that depends on next season.
Good god. What more do we need to see that we don’t already know?

13 out of 14 teams in the playoffs lose. Winners demand more? That is hilarious. You are on a couch FFS.
Who said anything about winning the Super Bowl? It would be nice to get to afc championship games and not lose in the wild card or divisional playoff rounds with a franchise qb who even on his best days is not good enough. Dude is virtually flawless come playoffs and it still isn’t enough. That’s a problem.

You got to get to big playoff games. And then 1 out of 14 teams wins it all. Maybe a 8-9 team would be better for the mental health of this board. Losers are more comfortable with losing.
Isn’t that what we have been doing the past few years in the divisional round? I mean damn I guess it’s great if you are just happy to be there every year. That my friend is the definition of a loser. Winners expect and demand more.

Why are they morons? Sean continues to lose big playoff games, he wasn’t great for half of this season as well…. What are we talking about here?
Exactly. The irony is that we foolishly continue to believe that we will have a different outcome every year. When the very definition of moron is stupid and foolish. But hey go figure.

I agree with the no excuses. Both tomorrow and moving forward in the playoffs, should Buffalo advance.
It's all right in front of them. An almost perfect path back to at minimum the AFCCG. We have the team viewed as the worst team in the entire playoffs, at home and missing their best player with Mason Rudolph starting at QB. There is no reason to lose this. And should they win, we get a Chiefs team that is the least dangerous version of that team we have seen in the Mahomes era. And we get that game at home.
This is the year that McDermott can vanquish a LOT of the demons that have surrounded this team during his tenure. If he can get the Bills back to MINIMUM the AFCCG, a lot of the naysayers disappear. Stumble against the Steelers or get bounced by the Chiefs yet again and it will be a looooong off-season in WNY.
This is exactly to the heart of the matter. Bills make it to the afc championship and lose a close one, I’m sure a lot of the naysayers quiet down. Lose a home game either this week or next week and it only reinforces what they have been saying all along.

Remember years ago when we had nothing to play for, then KO'd the Fitzpatrick Jets from getting in the playoffs?
Even though we have Miami after this, it'd still feel the same way... Hard to imagine winning in the playoffs if the Pats sweep us 😅
Exactly. Especially after your season is on the line at home as a 13 point favorite against a 4 win team. Absurd to think otherwise.

I've just been focusing on less perfect scenarios, looking at ways beyond going on a 5 win streak to close the season. Some other scenarios include:
Scenario 1 - Bills lose to the Cowboys and Dolphins. There's still a lot of ways the Bills could make the playoffs, mainly because a lot of the 7-6 teams play each other.
Scenario 2 - Bills beat the Cowboys, but inexplicably lose a game to the Chargers OR Patriots, as well as the Dolphins. Pretty similar to Scenario 1, though a Browns collapse gave me way more results with the Bills making it in.
Scenario 3 (BEST) - Bills lose to the Cowboys, but go on to win their next 3 games. Aside from winning out, this is the option that offers the most flexibility (shocker, 3 wins is better than 2 wins). After messing with the playoff simulator for what feels like millions of hours, you get a ton of ways the Bills make it in.
You could have all 4 NFC North teams finish above .500, Dolphins still take the AFC East, plus both the Jags & Texans getting in, and the Bills at 10-7 would still make it in under most scenarios. As long as the Broncos *OR* Texans lose 2 x games, 10 wins is VERY LIKELY to get the Bills in.
If not, teams like the Colts, Texans, Broncos and the Browns *OR* Bengals *OR* Steelers all finish 10-7, the Bills get in. We just couldn't have 3 x teams in the AFC North at 10-7 or better (in this scenario). Thankfully, a lot of these 7-6 teams play each other to close the year.
Week 15: Steelers at Colts
Week 16: Bengals at Steelers / Browns at Texans
Week 17: Bengals at Chiefs (even if the Bills finish 9-8, a Chiefs win here with the rest of the matchups could still get us in with the first 2 scenarios)
Week 18: Browns at Bengals / Texans at Colts
Note: One game to really watch is week 18 Steelers at Ravens. If the Ravens & Chiefs both keep winning, Baltimore may be resting starters here, which could really hurt us.
Absolutely not. 9-8 is not getting you into the playoffs let alone, “still a lot of ways”. In this scenario the bills would have a 3 percent chance.

No you GTFOH with your bs.
Not everything that has happened with this team falls on McD. Personnel. Gameplan on all three sides. Injury. Outside distraction. Weather. Matchup. Draft picks.Just a few things that need to go right as well, other than our horribly inept coach, in order to produce a better season.
Don’t cut your nose off to spite your face.
Well I guess we can agree to disagree. You are not entirely wrong in some of your assessments. However how much of the blame that goes around is a matter of opinion. It does not necessarily mean that either one of us is wrong. At this point I certainly don’t want to hear about how Sean has to deal with fans and social media. I’m tired of excuses. Either you are or you are not. Maybe they come through today and win out. Awesome!! But until that happens I will continue to remain skeptical.
What will you do when the Bills win the Super Bowl?
