I have about 35 years in as a fan and have spent the last 15-20 with very little expectations or hope with any of it. I enjoy the great plays, I enjoy the wins. But at the end of the day I never let my mind drift into thinking "this is the year". If I'm lucky (as I was this year) I will get a few moments where I feel those old childlike emotions of excitement bubble up again. It started when it was 22-21 and we had the ball. It ended when we failed on the 4th down. But in the end, here we are. I'm pretty down and haven't fully absorbed the loss, but I'm also not catatonic because I didn't let myself buy into this feeling that we would win it all. Perhaps that's just aging or perhaps I'm a little B and just want to keep my emotions protected. Either way I know at some point we will win this and when that happens it will be probably one of the better feelings any fan can have because of what we have been thru and the loyalty and love we have for this team. Huge hug to all my Bills brethren.

With ya, brutal. They played with a lot of heart.

That's got some truth as far as how he plays, but I do think he's a champion. But sure Josh is more of a sandlot guy and that has more variance with execution. But still, the dude put the ball on our 1st round draft picks numbers and he didn't catch it. Nobody could have made that throw. So to pick on Allen seems to be a bit much here.

Then rock it out man. I have about the 80% of the last 1000 posts crapping on him. We could have made the Super Bowl with him this year. That is my final takeaway. Two years in a row we had the ball with a chance to win vs the likely SB champions and we didn't score. So to lazor focus the blame on him just seems a bit much. I don't think he is some amazing HC, but again, I'm going to take a break on the bashing for awhile. Plenty of blame to go around for this one.

And we had the ball with a chance to win and our guy dropped it. I don't think McD is taking us to the next level, but we could and likely should have won this game. Is it worth all the negative focus all offseason on him when it was pretty obvious we just didn't have the horses?

Defense did enough. Not going to be talking negatively about him this year. I might not think he's the savior but it's a lot of negative energy on him when we had multiple paths to win this game. If anything, I'm looking more at Beane to be honest.

I'm taking the year off on giving McD crap. We had a chance to win our last drive for the second straight year. We did enough on defense.

That’s not the call

Same as last year. If you get one drive to win you take it.

That’s actually not a bad deal.

To end the Billsy we need to win one of these. That simple. They have fought like champions so far.

Gotta score quick here or this is setting up for a FG for KC

I have never seen a team take Allen’s legs out like this

It was close enough wear you just can’t let the refs make that call. They needed to adjust.

Not over, but just so dejecting

I don’t think we are getting this one. Damn it.

It’s not the damn go alone Josh holy *****

I prefer the single wing style run with Josh out of Shotgun at this point

my optimism

They have made great 2nd half adjustments vs the run all year.

Hats off to the defensive coaching this second half.

We are hitting him now

Play of the year and it’s not really close. Goose bumps.
