Yeah it's rough. I was there for Norwood and all the other Super Bowls.. That entire era the Bills pounded every NFC opponent during the regular seasons..EXCEPT for the Super Bowl. That's the one time each year the NFC's best team showed up to beat us. Argh,, then Music City, and the last couple seasons with tough endings....including 13 seconds to live in infamy. It's almost like there's an extra force that the Bills have to contend with to win it all. Call it what you want,,, a curse on the city of Buffalo?!? But all they have to do is bleed 13 seconds off the clock to advance and they completely botch it.. is almost too tough to accept.

I posted this in another thread, might be more appropriate here. The off season is summed up for me as follows: I'm sick for Josh Allen, who was perfect in two games. He could not possibly play any better.. and he goes home. I'm sick for Gabe Davis, who could not properly enjoy his career night in the playoffs. I'm sick for us fans, who once again have to be gracious losers of a historic game that will be brought up for generations to come. I'm sick that another fanbase is gifted a W. One that they likely felt entitled to

My teenage son likes watching football, and we'll definitely spend time together Sunday watching the games. Even if KC beats Cinci we can still root for LA/SF to knock them off in the Super Bowl.

Frazier and McD deserve to be roasted for the defensive scheme in those last 13 seconds but where were Hyde and Poyer? They are supposed to be vets and almost like coaches on the field. They should have been doing something out there to get the guys aligned and playing up tight, so as soon as someone caught the ball, immediate tackle.

It's two years in a row of having an excellent chance to make the SB. This year was arguably better since they had the Chiefs beaten...until they didn't. It's tough to just assume they'll be back this close again. Other teams get better, we may lose some players/coaches, injuries, etc.. I'm hoping upon hope the Bills will be back and even better.

I hear ya. Nice write up. At first i felt bad for us fans the most but by Monday night i felt the worst for Josh Allen. No guarantees on anything but he won’t ever get that back. He was peaking at the perfect time and had the most accomplished playoffs (in just 2 games!) of any QB in history without making the Super Bowl.

Yup. He was really peaking at the right time. Too bad he couldn’t control the D giving up two leads in the final 1:50. Then of course an OT walkoff drive.

Who knows. Are there any other QB’s who may need a do-over year behind Allen?

Whose arguing. Do you understand we have to beat them in the playoffs when these matchups happen?! How about all the good AFC teams Buffalo beat during the 90's Championship runs. Does anyone remember any of those teams? No, they don't. Because they never beat Buffalo when it mattered. They are a bunch of footnotes.

I wouldn't even call Buffalo 1b until they beat KC in a "win or go home" game. Beating them in the regular season means nothing. Zip.

I said I wasn't going to watch KC/Cinci...but i'll probably peak in. I'm more salty and angry than anything, not depressed. I'll probably get angrier if KC kills the Bengals.

This is such a nothingburger for Buffalo. Congrats to Williams.

Josh Allen played the two best games, back to back in his life...and he's home watching the playoffs. 13 seconds will live in infamy. Thanks coaches for not having any clue on how to get the clock to show 0:00. For having no foresight on the proper kickoff and for scheming the defense as if they were protecting the end zone, not for a FG.

That rumor seems to be making the rounds...Rodgers and maybe Adams following Hackett to Denver. Doesn't make all that much sense for Rodgers though. His road to the SuperBowl is probably better if he stays at GB, especially if Brady decides to retire. The AFC has the better young QB's. In Denver he'd have to get past Mahomes, Herbert and Carr in their own division. Then of course you have Allen, Burrow, Lamar, and some other solid teams like Tenn and Indy.

I think the Chiefs will be hungover from last Sunday night, as I think the Bills would have been had they won. Would not be surprised if Cin jumps out to a 7-0 or 10-0 lead. But in the end i still see KC gathering themselves in the 2nd half and beating the Bengals to advance.

Another bummer is that i thought the McD, Allen, Beane regime would be the ones to kick that Buffalo bad luck to the curb. And even they are now associated with the “13 seconds” moniker. Not Allen’s fault of course, but i was so sure these guys would put an end to the Buffalo big game nonsense and this was the team to do it.

That’s wonderful that we can smile. Too bad the coaches and D betrayed Josh at the very end. They owe him one in some big playoff game down the road when maybe he isn’t playing so well.

Part of me feels like Cinci is too young and dumb to realize they are supposed to get killed by KC. So they’ll probably go out and punch the overconfident Chiefs in the mouth. I think by the end, KC wins by 7 or so, but they won’t play nearly the same excellent-mistake free offensive game they did against Buffalo.

Josh needed Daboll to help him with the training wheels and getting up to speed in the NFL. Now that JA is all grown up and knows how to makes plays, read NFL defenses and harnessed his own potential..i think he will thrive with a new OC. Whether that's Dorsey or not, who knows.

He probably would have eluded a spy. The game seemed too fast for our D the entire way. They really had no answer for anything, especially when the Chiefs ramped up the urgency.

Sounds like a win for the Children's hospital. Sorry, but it's a little cringeworthy when i see Bills fans on Twitter or wherever..get nasty with KC fans for "rubbing it in". Most of the fans are contributing out of the goodness of their hearts and may even feel a little bad for us. I don't see the $13 as mean spirited. Some Bills fans are angry and overly sensitive.

The game was won. McDermott and his staff beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead,, then blew it in an inexplicable 13 seconds that may never be replicated. But it took a special team to win that game. McDermott is fine.. he will bank this experience like everything else. The best thing the Bills can do is keep the continuity at head coach. The Chiefs are like the Bills from the early-mid 90's. The AFC couldn't stop them come playoff time. You couldn't kill them off. How many great coaches, QB's and DC's did the Bills humiliate back then. The Bills prevented some very good AFC teams from ever reaching the Super Bowl. That is KC now, and they are doing it to us.

I think the Bills...and probably the Chiefs this week would have an emotional letdown against Cincinnati. Not saying they'd lose, but it wouldn't surprise me if Cinci jumps out to a quick 7-0 or 10-0 lead this week. KC is so dangerous when they ramp up the urgency, I think they ultimately win..

It's gonna really suck when Mahomes is wearing Josh Allen's ring in a few weeks. There should be a Bills logo engraved in this year's ring. It was our year.
