Had the best scripted drives to start a Bills game in as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, couldn't score afterwards https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/mike-mularkey-retires-from-coaching

You are too good a poster to offend me boss. I know I’m breaking the cardinal rule of posting when angry. It just feels different. I wasn’t remotely upset after the Jags playoff loss. I think I’m mad at myself for getting my hopes up, even though I expected them to lose in the next round. Also, unlike previous seasons, I feel honestly less optimistic because I don’t know that the coaches will be able to get out of their own way. I thought sleeping it off would help, and it did a little, but I’m still not close to good.

I appreciate the defense boss, I do. I’m just exhausted from all of it. If this is how you felt after some seasons, I get it. To immediately see the off-season posts an optimism, I just can’t right now

The only logical reason is because we were going to a run heavy offense. But considering we pretty much abandoned the run int the second half.... Absolutely no excuse for this. Daboll is still a problem and can’t get out of his own way. It works when you have 3 legit WR, not when it’s a guy off the practice squad. This pisses me off as much as anything and I see no signs of it changing

He’s the head coach. He owns the process.

I’m not bailing, but I think it’s time to re-evaluate what I put into them. I shouldn’t care this much. It shouldn’t ruin my night.

I get that and honestly expected to lose next week. I didn’t think we were going all the way. It’s losing how we did. It’s losing when we should have won. It’s losing because your coaches refuse to adapt and there’s no reason to believe it will change and it’s going to be this way for a while to come. Doesn’t mean it’s healthy or should continue

Coaching Defense Allen Daboll Refs McD Ford Milano Pick one They scored 6 points in the second half and OT. Allen has a careless fumble. He made some crazy throws that should’ve been pick 6’s. He was overhyped. Did some things good, others bad. He’s just as responsible as anyone else

I honestly didn’t watch the Pats game and don’t think I’ll watch the games tomorrow. The Pats losing is nice. As long as the Ravens don’t win it all, I don’t care

And that’s fine. But I’m tired of what this game does to me. I’m tired of trying to put a positive spin on it when I know those players are completely fine on that flight home. They are millionaires and we are inconsequential fans in their lives. I’m sitting there with my daughter and, no matter how much I try to hide it, I’m pissed. I don’t want her seeing that. I don’t want her being a fan of that. There’s absolutely no excuse to blow that lead, to not focus on your key players, to give up that 3rd and 18. All of it. For all the good they’ve done this year, they are still the stubborn coaching staff who doesn’t play fearlessly or go for the kill. We are the same offense that scores below 20 points regardless of who they play. I have zero reason to believe that they won’t bring gore back or a Tolbert who is useless and keep putting these players out there. I don’t believe Julio Jones would have made a difference in this game because Daboll is as much a roadblock to our momentum as he is a help. We got just good enough to beat .500 teams this year on a soft schedule. We are the kings of moral victories against good teams. We have people going to the airport again to welcome them home after a first round playoff loss. It’s my fault for believing we were more ahead than we were. For believing this is the right staff before they’ve actually won. The only thing we’ve accomplished is not to be a bottom feeder. And yes, that’s a step. But I was ready for a win today. We should have won today. But they did the same thing they’ve done for the past 25 years, let everyone down

I could wait a few days and write these, but I honestly don’t want to. I want to get away from football for a while and just not think about this game or this team. I’ll be honest, this game broke me so don’t expect many, if any responses to this. If I stick around, I’ll probably get banned because of the people around here who can’t handle a loss without making ridiculous comments about players/users that are unwarranted and disrespectful. A few weeks ago I said that I was going to retire the term Billsy, but then I forgot the true definition of the word. It’s when the team lulls you into this false sense of security and then rips it out from under you. This year, they made a whole season and half a playoff game. I’ve never seen a team be that in control of a game going into half and then completely fall apart in every phase of the game. You could pick this game apart 50 different ways, but everyone owns this loss except for maybe Singletary. I had all the reasons why they should have won or lost written out but the truth is, it’s everything. Every single aspect of the game had a severe pro and con that both lost or could’ve won the game. It was a Billsy end to an otherwise decent season. They managed to make every single mistake that they’ve shown glimpses of this season in just one half. I’m sick to my stomach about this loss. The fans deserve better. You deserve better. We were honestly the better team out there until the Gods remembered we are the Bills and we will always find a way to lose in the worst possible way. In a season where we didn’t beat anyone, the questions will remain of what this team can be. Here’s what I do know: -We didn’t lose this game because we don’t have a true #1 -The offense hasn’t played a complete game this entire season -whether it’s the Pats or the playoffs, we find a way to not execute (tackling, lead blocks) -We earned a little bit of respect this season, but on the big stage, we are expected to lose in the moment -The names who’ve performed and started to make a push for themselves were non-existent this game (Brown, Beasley, Phillips, Shaq) -Ford had too many growing pains as a rookie and shouldn’t be handed anything I’m out

No

Thank God Fuller isn't playing. I still hope Tre primarily shadows Hopkins. Letting our #3 DB anywhere near him seem dumb

NOW he's out
