BillsMontreal

It's sad. We love that game, but it is just a game. This kid had a bad season but he is young. Pretty sure he will work hard this summer and be ready for next year. Those donations is the best part of the game, even better than any win. It's really just a game even if we love it.

Exactly. In that situation, Allen should never throw in the end zone. Even if they scored, if the Chiefs scored on their drive, we would talk about this choice. But, it is a football situation and fair enough. My problem: if Allen threw it in the end zone, it's because someone told him he can. Even an Elite QB needs an Elite HC and this situation is the perfect example. Our HC let it in the hands of our Elite QB. He didnt coach him. Go get 9 yards, boys. Choose any play you want, but you have 3 plays for 9 yards. Go get the first down. Another situation when it counts the most where we seems totally lost on the field. Nothing was clear and we had to try a FG with 1m44 left. It's sad at this point.

Just last sunday, Mahomes missed two open receivers in the end zone and when he had the game in his hands in the 4th, he missed his receiver and they had to punt. He has nothing to do with the end of the game. He gave us the ball. Against a decimate defense. It's fair enough, he can and will make mistakes, but it is the kind of mistake Allen cant make under this regime in those kind of game. Both are Elite QB and it seems we always talk about an Allen mistakes because he has to be perfect under our regime. If not, we lose. We dont even talk about Mahomes mistakes. It say something. They are a team and ready at another level. For me, it's pretty clear: Give them Allen and we have Mahomes and the Chiefs still win. Maybe Mahomes is better than Allen. I take Allen first, but i understand we can talk about it. If so, he's slighty better than Allen. Both are Elites. When we watch carefully on the sideline of both teams, we see two man. They wear a hat. I really think that's where is unfair. One is Elite and know how to coach an Elite QB. The best we can do is hoping our HC could learn that, but during that time, we found a way to lose in those situations when it counts the most year after year.

Just last sunday...Mahomes missed two open receivers in the end zone...He also had the game in his hand in the 4th quarter against a decimate defense and he missed his receiver. They had to punt. After the game, he is a God. Allen and Mahomes are Elite QB. Allen has to be perfect to give us a chance to win that kind of game against the best. We always talk about his mistakes because he has to be perfect! Mahomes not. And even if he is almost perferct, like scoring the winning TD with only 13 seconds left, we lose and...Mahomes is a God. We need an Elite HC with our Elite QB if we want to win the last game of the year. I dont know how it could not be clear. Then, if we only want to be competitive, we will with an Elite QB, no matter the level of our coaching staff.

Kind of agree. Allen gave us the lead with 13 seconds left. Then, at then end of the game, Mahomes is a god and Allen a loser. Just last sunday, Mahomes missed two open receivers in the end zone and he had the game in his hand in the 4th quarter against a decimate defense. They had to punt. At the end of the game, he is a god and Allen a loser. Those QB are Elite. But, Allen has to be perfect. We'll talk about his mistakes because he has to be perfect if we want to win. Mahomes not. That's the story of those games in playoff. That's why an Elite HC is what a team needs with an Elite QB against the best.

Money talk and they will not change their mind. We're not far to have 18 games in a season. They will find a way to have more playoffs game. I know it doesnt make sens...but we talk about a lot of money. I mean, a lot!

If Allen threw in the endzone, it's because we told him he can. If it's clear for a HC in that kind of situation, it will be clear for your Elite QB and all players. It wasnt clear at all, it's the least i can say. I understand Mcdermott. We talk about a good HC and an Elite QB. It was like: I dont know what to do, i hope my Elite QB will. It was the samething with our defense in this 13 seconds. Nothing was clear. It's a pattern now. An Elite QB dosent need an Elite HC in season. Just a good one and we will have a good chance to be in the playoff at the end of the season. Against the best when it counts the most, he will. It will be the difference between a W or a L. It's a pattern like i said. It's pretty clear if we just take a little step back. I will wear my red roses glasses again next year and hoping i am wrong. It's the best i can do as a fan.

I understand, but a KC fan could write something like that: The-three-play-that-almost-cost-us-the-game -Mahomes missed and open receiver in the endzone two times -Hartman fumble at the one yard -Mcduffie missed a pick 6 (or we should recover Allen's fumble). At the end, both team made some mistakes. I dont talk about the refs that much and it's a good sigh. Our gameplan was really good and it worked really well. Our defense let KC scored at will...but our offense managed to be on the field and eat clock. We were at the line of 30 in their zone with the ball at the 2 minuts warning. We were exactly where we could dream we could be at this point of the game. It was a 2 and 9. They blew it. It's coaching. If it is clear for the HC in those kind of situation, it will be clear for the players. It wasnt. They seems to be lost after the 2 minuts warning break. We cant change the past, but it should be clear for the players: it's a 2 and 9 and you have 3 plays to win that first down. Go for it. Go win that 9 yards. Like i said, it wasnt clear at all and we blew it.

Some Teams have an Elite HC with a game manager at QB...some others like the Bills have an Elite QB and and a good HC at best. With an Elite HC, Allen has a SB ring. I'm pretty sure about that. It is what it is. I like Mcdermott. I like the man. He works hard, he wants to win. He did the best he can do with what he is as a HC. By example, i also really liked Tyrod Taylor. He took care of the ball and did the best he can do with what he was as a QB. It's all about the owner. It's all about what he really wants. Today, we hide the 5-6 record in playoffs by our number of wins in season. In the real world, in playoff, we won against... -An old Rivers and the Colts -the Phins with a no-name at QB, -the Pats and MacJones (the best game on offense i see in a long time), -the Steelers and Rudolph -Jackson and the Ravens (a real good game for Mcdermott). That's all. It is the best we can do with our Elite QB. It's not good enough. Absolutely not. Sometimes, i feel like we are afraid to be better. We're afraid to take any risk. It has to be that 17 years. We want to win but we dont think as a winner. It's like we're good and it's enough. I can deal with it. It's fun to watch. But, we have to say it like it is. Mcdermott will clearly be there next year. I will root for him. I'm just a fan and i will hope i am wrong again next year. I still wish we can win with this HC. If it's fair, for him and all the Bills fans, we will. Then i dont think we'll win only because it should be fair. It's not a story.

Exactly. We dont know if the Bills would win against the Ravens, but their chances would be better...if they play that game, it's the least i can say.

Mcdermott is a solid HC and maybe he could win it one day. He's clearly not at this level. I feel like when he will be ready, Allen will be old. When it counts the most, year after year, it's like the Bills has no HC. At the 2 minuts warning, we were exactly where we need to be: we have th ball in Chiefs zone. You need to have a solid HC to be there. Then, they discussed at the 2 minuts warning break and suddenly, nothing was clear. They try to eat the clock or score fast? I dont know. It wast clear at all. In this 13 seconds game, it was the samething. You need to be a solid HC to take the lead at KC in playoff with 13 seconds left. Then, the defense was totally lost on the field when it counts the most. When it count the most and it's clear for a HC, it will be damn clear for the players. When it's not, the players are lost. Injury or not, no matter what, it happen year after year, when it count the most, we blow it. At this point, it cannot just be badluck. Clearly not. 5-6 in playoffs say something.

Without the Offense, the Chiefs could score 40 points easily yesterday. It wasnt perfect, they also blew it at the 2 minuts warning, but our best defense was our offense on the field and by far. The defense did the most they can do, but a lot of offense in the NFL could score at will against them. Thumps up to our offense to eat the clock and find a way to put some points on the board. It wasnt not enough, but we played a playoff game against the Chiefs with too many -next man up- on defense. It's sad because i'm pretty sure we win that game with an healty defense.

You're not alone, be sure of that. The samething happen year after year. We dont need a huge instinct to know what will happen again. We had all the clues we need during the seasons, but we try to hide it behing all those wins in seasons. Bottom of line: something will happen each year at the same time of the year. JJWATT show and this famous common sense call, 13 seconds, Hamlin, injuries. Yesterday, i felt like we could have it at the 2 minuts warning, but i was not in shock at all to see them blew it. It's a kind of battered women syndrome i guess. Until we understand we have to try another road to take the next step, it will be that, for the better and the worst.

Allen and the offense were our best Defense yesterday. The only reason the Chiefs didnt score 40points is because the time our offense was on the field. A lot of QB could score at will against a backup Defense. They gave us all they can, but there's a limit of this -next man up- concept. A couple of -next man up- is fine. Others starters could talk to them on the field. But so many bakcup at this time of the year in playoff? The Chiefs should win this game easily. Our Bills stay in the game by eating the clock a lot on offense. We can talk about every play we missed, but the Chiefs also missed some play and a big one at the goal line when they fumble the ball. The offense really did a good job to keep that game close. It's sad because they did almost everthing they had to do to help the defense, stay in the game, and they kinda blew it at the two minuts warning. Credits to the Chiefs, but they are very lucky this year. They just played their two playoffs game against decimate defense. They did what they had to do in both game, but they didnt play against an healtly Bills yesterday and it's part of the game. Bottom of line, we are 5-6 now in playoffs. It is what it is, no matter behing how many wins in season we want to hide that fact.

Chiefs Defense will be there. They will try something and they will play with some agressiveness for sure. They will not just wait for a mistake on Defense. We all know that. This year, i see something different with our defense in some games.Sometimes not. We all see the difference when they just wait for a mistake or play to win, If the Bills had learn something about that kind of soft defense who killed us in playoff against the best QB, they will do whathever it takes to be in Mahomes face, to provoke mistakes and not just waiting for. They will do whathever it takes to make Mahomes scratch his head and not just wait for a mistake. I hope they had learn something about our lost in playoff since two years. If they really try and we lose, i can deal with it as a fan. Then, i really thing the Bills could win that game by playing to win and not just wait and triying to not lose. The gameplan should not only be a chess game. It's football. We need some agressiveness in that gameplan. A lot. For those who will be there: Help that defense like you always did. Make some noise like you never did. It could be a huge part of that game.

The Bills could be in a real strange scenario on week 18. -If they beat the Pats -If the Ravens beat Miami -If Bengles or Steelers win their 2 games.. In this scenario..if the Bills beat Miami, they get the no2 seed but if they lose that game, they are out. It's a lot of -IF- but it's possible. Just beat the Pats first. We lost some of those kind of games this year.

Nothing more, nothing less than that. It's right in front of our eyes. It's so obvious. Each week, we talk about the finger that point to the Moon.

Winning culture will always try to win the last game when they feel their window is open. If they dont win, it's a failure. For those teams, a 13-3 season with a devastating lost at home in playoff is a failure. Losing culture franchises are happy to be a good team. They dont want to change anything cause they are afraid: it could be worst. Those teams will hide their devastating lost at home in playoff behind their 13-3 season. Expectations. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm not better than anyone as a long time Bills fan. I'm part of it and i will root for them all Sundays. Then, let be serious: Between the 13 seconds a couple of years ago and the 12 man last year, we have a lot of that kind of weird mistakes. It's a clear pattern.

Agree with your statement. As a long time Bills fans, i absolutely know i'm not in a winning culture. We're a good team and after those 17 years, it seems to be enough. Our window are -was- open and we all know we're not that far. But, for us, it seems to be an accomplishment. Even this year, we're not playing good football but we're still in the hunt. For a team in a winning culture,it's not enough and it's a failure to not win the last game when that window is open. One thing is sure: A winining culture just cant even tolerate a mistake like the 13 seconds when the window is open. I'm not better than any fan: i'm the first one who wanted to give a chance after that mistake. At least, we're a good team now i guess. They turned it around. Finally. Then, this program is clearly - play to not lose- year after year, week after week, except for some games. It's so conservative. We'll have some good seasons by playing like that but we'll not win our last game if we tolerate so easily the same mistakes week after week, year after year. I'm just a fan. It's just how i see it and I really hope i'm wrong.

Exaclty. He could hire Coordinators who can challenge him...It could help his program a lot! He clearly prefers good soldiers.

I dont think any fan is hating Mcdermott. Not at all. He's a pro and he is well paid to do his job. It's a real competitve job and we just have to think about Dorsey today to remember that. We just talk about football. We're fans and we also pay because we love that game, we love our Bills. whorlnut just point some facts. Mcdermott could hired and fired whoever he wants. It's his job. Then, it begins to be a lot of coachs who were fired under his program. A lot. It say something at whoever wants to listen. Hire and fire coachs until he finds the perfect one is a kind of management but i really think we're near the limit.

I understand and it's fair enough. But, at the end, i really think it's coaching. Most of the teams in the NFL dream about having a QB like Allen. When you have that kind of QB, you have to know how to coach him. He is confused? He isnt capable of fixing that? Where's the coach??? I really think we are wasting someone as talented as Josh Allen. I really think we have an incredible horse in our stable...but nobody seems to know how to ride him in this staff. We cant be in the head of our players, but it is written in the face of our best players they dont really know what's happen there. So many high picks and cap space on defense...If you need an average game manager as your QB for your gameplan and the way you want to play, you really waist someone as talented as Josh Allen. Maybe i'm wrong, maybe you're right...but one thing is sure: If we change nothing, we'll never know and we will stay right where we are.

I agree with Mcdermott. We should scored that TD with less than 13 seconds on the clock...

How can he win so many yards by running the ball without being in shotgun formation?

Two years ago, it was our ST coach...Last year, it was our DC...This year it is our OC. Those coaches have one thing in common.
