It might take having one of those years when the Bills squeak in as the 7th seed. Get hot, run off 3 big unexpected road wins and win the SB. The year no one really expects it.

I'm honestly at a point where it just doesn't matter when it comes to The Chiefs. They have won 2 SB's, have been in three, 6 straight AFC Championships. I guess at this point I would rather root for them vs another team getting ahead of The Bills(I am petty like that), but I think The Ravens will be tough. I can't not watch this game tomorrow, no matter how badly I want to disassociate
I was in that camp with the Pats. NE had won so many big games and had all those accomplishments it didn’t matter if they had 2, 4 or 6 Super Bowls. I didn’t want teams like Carolina or Atlanta getting one ahead of us.
KC can do nothing else to impress. The damage is done. Baltimore already has a couple SB’s as well. I’m thinking let Lamar win his. Wishful thinking i’m sure but maybe the Chiefs and Ravens desperation goes down a notch. Then It’s Allen competing with Burrow, Watson and whichever newbies come along (Stroud?).

I enjoy when Jim Overdorf is brought up. I knew him way back in the day before he became the executive he is now. Such a weird dude, lol.

The Bills win A LOT. And with winning comes poaching of your staff.
Yet even with the losses of coaches every year they still win a lot. That’s what a franchise QB gives you.

Allen is a ridiculous freak of a player not just a QB. He’s so much better then Cam Newton or Big Ben or all these other people in the past that he’s compared to. I don’t think he’s a stand in the pocket guy to pick teams apart. He’s a football player.
Mahomes is an amazing QB, i think he sees the entire D moving in slow motion. He makes so many great throws from in and out of the pocket with accuracy. Sorry but he has the clutch gene over all the other guys out there.

Even Swifties are getting in on the donation wagon...
Swifties Rally Behind Bills Kicker Tyler Bass After He Received Threats Over Chiefs Loss (yahoo.com)
There are lots of nice people around… Would i donate to all these player causes over the years? nope. I was one and done after Andy Dalton. But it’s pretty cool to see all this support for Bass. I have no problem with these charity things. People obviously want to do it and it makes them feel good. I’m sure some Buffalo fans do it as part of the healing process from a sudden and disappointing end to a season.

Part of me wants to see the Ravens kill the Chiefs. That way i can let it go knowing we would not have beaten Baltimore in their house.

I think the last 2 losses to KC somewhat came down to a bad luck component and good luck for KC. Silly wind gust on Bass FG, dropped bombs, coin toss, D injuries, etc..
Also with KC’s tackles struggling this year and Last season the Cincinnati Oline being really injured… our top notch D-Line came up so small in two home Divisinal games. Really disappointing.

There’s some national media predicting a comfortable Ravens win. I just see a tough close game either way. But i don’t think Lamar and that offense push the KC defense around like they were for 3 Qtrs at Buffalo. But Baltimore won’t allow KC to go through them with no resistance like Buffalo did.

100% I'm watching. And for whoever loses I hope it's an excruciating loss.

I put this in the McDermott thread but maybe it belongs here...
Daboll is wearing out his welcome in NY. The Giants fire Brian Daboll..
The Giants hire Bill Belicheck who is itching to come back and has respect of the Giants ownership.
The Bills fire McDermott and bring Daboll home to be head coach. The Josh/Daboll partnership is back together for a SB run.
Would this work?

You guys all wanting McD gone are simply wasting your time complaining about him as he isn't going anywhere this year. Instead, you could be spending your time looking at the free-agent market and upcoming draft.
Just one more for the road..

The idiots who were threatening Bass are likely the same idiots who threw snowballs at the chiefs players on the field and team bus, boo’d Taylor Swift walking in and got caught on video yelling at Gabe and saying nasty things to him, goading him into an argument.
I hate those “fans” because they are complete losers and give the entirety of WNY a bad name. All that stuff was all over social media and YouTube this week.

On Nick Wright's show today, First Things First...he took the Josh hate to a new level and said no way should Josh be on the MVP ballot, or Purdy either. He pointed to mostly the rushing game fluff's up Allen and that his passing stats are not good enough. But isn't Lamar about to win MVP in part due to his rushing game? That stuff is important in 2024. He didn't think two guys from the same team should be on the MVP ballot therefore he eliminated Purdy.

I enjoy these types of curses. So technically they can beat the Lions on Sunday but will ultimately lose the SB.

Well said by the OP. RIP to this good man.
I was born in ‘65. Did i get one before i will die or did that not count? I’m thinking it’s a no.

Every damn accolade Sean McDermott receives during his career with Buffalo will be 100% because of Josh Allen. Not because he's this amazing defensive strategist. Without Josh this team would be 5-12 every year and clappy would've been fired ages ago. The only process he preaches is the excuses every damn year for his worthless playoff defense.
Next season the Bills will be regrouping due to cap reasons...and hopefully reloading. Unless they get lucky on some young guys, it's likely a regression season. That might be what the brass is waiting for to thank Sean for his service. Regression.
It's a tough look to fire a head coach with his record over the past few years...and leading them to 5 straight wins, Division title (again), another playoff win and a razor thin loss to Mahomes/Reid. His Dec/Jan record is sick. in a good way. Although as you said, he has Allen to thank for that record.

If I'm the coach I tell them to play for the first down. At all costs. I'm more concerned with the clock. I tell my QB to not go for the kill shot in the endzone because there is too much time on the clock and I don't have faith in my defense and the Chiefs can score very quickly. I have to play the chess game there. If I can't get a first down in 4 tries with JA, we deserve to lose, but that's how I'm playing it. I already know what can happen in 13 seconds, and again the following year with only 12 seconds, so I'm looking to make a score with 5 seconds or less left on the clock. I want to win, but I would settle for the tie, but I also want to get more yards for my shaky kicker. I would go for a first down there on 4th down if I haven't picked it up. I only kick the field goal if we are at the 15 yard line on 4th down with low time on the clock.
That's what I'm saying. Sunday eve with my son next to me, as we are both standing nervously watching the TV, we both agree during the 2-minute warning that Buffalo should get the first down and try to walk it off at the end with a late TD.... or at worst a walk off tying FG to send it to OT (from closer in). Make KC use their timeouts. Even in the moment i said TIME is most important thing. This was great, it was our time to finally end KC and not even give them a chance to have the ball back. And our coaches are so effing dumb and not clutch at the end of close playoff games.
I'm not going to blame Allen simply because the Bills are literally nothing without him. He should have been coached there.

Mahomes is the best Quarterback in the world. Throwing the football, accuracy, pocket presence, being clutch.... he is the best.
Josh is the best overall football player in the league at this moment. Leader, Runner, trucking people, creating amazing throws.. not the best pocket passer imo.
Lamar is like a scat back playing QB, super elusive when he wants to be.. not an awesome pocket passer by any means but can certainly sling it w accuracy at times.

The Bills played a time of possession strategy for 58 minutes and then after the 2-minute rather than continuing to methodically work the ball closer to the goal line and run the clock they mysteriously went with downfield passes. I can lay this on Allen but did the coaches make it clear to him that we're going to play for the "last shot" situation? Win or lose leave little to nothing on the clock? Whether it was a communication issue or a change in direction, I put that on McDermott and Brady.
I expect the 2024 season's excuse will be cap problems which hurt the team's ability to build depth and fill all the holes left in the roster through expiring contracts and other loss of players. But that's Beane.
The possession strategy, in part to protect the depleted defense was masterful. Even Travis Kelce said on his podcast that it forced KC to be ultra proficient when they got the ball, because KC knew if their O failed they would not see the ball again for a while.
Our coaches McD/Brady at the end have to be effing stupid. That's all I can think. or Allen went rogue and he should know better. I really think that even if he hit Shakir, it was at least 50/50 that KC still wins the game. There would have been too much time left.

The Eagles moved on from Reid even with those 4 NFCCG appearances. Like many have said here McDermott is a good coach but it appears this is as far as he can take them. Are we going to wait 20 years for him to figure it out. Allen will be wearing a gold jacket in Canton, Ohio by then.
I'm totally on board with trying something different but i can see the Bills hesitation. I don't have the stats in front of me but over the last 4-5 years...Buffalo has like the 2nd best overall record (behind KC), the most TDs, the largest point differential, etc.. They have silly offensive stats that should have translated into a SB appearance or two. We just have the unfortunate situation of having to get through Kansas City to go anywhere. We are so close to them,,,but they don't blink at the end of games and we do. Is this all on McDermott? Possibly it is. although did he call the shot into the end zone on 2nd down? I dunno. Did he miss the FG?

I'm not sure I buy the loss is "on the offense" but for all of everything that happened in the game to that point you are absolutely right that at the 2:00 warning the Bills were right where they would have wanted to be. In FG territory already, with control of the ball and the clock and the game in Josh Allen's hands. They just couldn't execute on those two plays coming out of the 2 minute warning. On 2nd down if any one of the three things happens: 1. Dion holds his block another split second; 2. Shakir clears coverage slightly quicker (he just gets held up long enough); or 3. Josh is just able to manoeuvre another 6 inches of space in the pocket to get his throw away...... then the Bills score.
The defense played a poor game, undermanned and our executed. But the offense had the chance to make that all moot at the end and failed to execute themselves.
In Real time a lot of people including me were saying that TIME off the clock was more important than throwing to the end zone for a TD with nearly 2 mins left. My issue is that even if he hit Shakir for the TD I really liked KC's chances to come down at the end and still win it. The Bills D wasn't stopping Mahomes in crunch time. The Bills needed to get the 9 yards. KC was giving up short stuff in the middle of the field. Bleed clock, go for the TD with very little time left, or if it comes down to a game tying FG, Bass would be closer and could likely hit it late and guarantee OT with a very late FG.
I thought the script was working out to be our reverse 13 seconds game, where Buffalo had the ball at the end to win...or would kick the FG at the buzzer and win in OT somehow. Sadly, the worst outcome happened. Cursed.

I mean, when it' all said and done. If Josh continues to lead Buffalo to playoff games it's not a stretch to say his all-time playoff stats would be right up there only behind Brady and Mahomes. Just without the hardware.
