KOKBILLS

No. If you're specifically talking about the game from that Kickoff till the KC FG to force overtime, the reaction is right where it should be. Because that was quite possibly the worst coached 13 seconds of Playoff football ever...It was brutal...

Well...I've been a fan since 1970...And pretty diehard at that so...I feel your pain...I really do... GO BILLS!!!

There is choking...Then there is the next level...Those 13 seconds were like the next level after the next level of choking... Just terrible on all accounts...What the Bills did was so incredibly pedestrian and noticeable, all it took was a little sandlot football to beat it in a 9% probability situation...If this is the best they could come up with...after the TO's no less...I mean...I'm sorry...I love McD...But seriously...WTF?...They all but served up that FG on a silver platter for the Chiefs...They gave the Chiefs a guaranteed 20 of the 40 yards they had to have by playing that far off the ball on both down...Think about that...The Chiefs basically needed a maximum of 10 yards per reception to get into FG range because the Bills gave them 20 for free...True story... Honestly...It's a damn good thing McD has built what he has at this point...Because otherwise, and for sure in other markets...They would destroy him for those 13 seconds...I don't want him to leave at all...I really don't...But it is what it is when breaking down the strategy applied, and what happened as a result after the Bills final TD... Sucks...

True...But KC still scored 33 points before those 13 seconds...No question the Bills blew it...They won the game minus the 13 seconds...Still...If the Bills are the best team in the NFL, then KC's #2...I think if the Chiefs win out they will have earned it. Mahomes/Kelce/Hill fully took advantage of the Bills idiocy in those 13 seconds...They deserve credit for it...I don't have to like it to be honest about it...

The way I look at those 2 plays in the 13 seconds is that KC needed at least 40 yards...The Bills were playing 10 yds off the line (minimum) on both plays...So...They literally gave the Chiefs 20 of the 40 yards free before they ever put their foot in the ground and turned up field for more...Just stupid...

I've told everyone who will listen the Bills and Chiefs are the 2 best teams in the NFL long before last Sunday...The only way I can be right about that is for the Chiefs to win out...And I hope they do...If so, they will have earned it...That does not make me happy...But it is what it is.

He's gone...

We'll see about the names in the coming months... But right now I think the odds favor O-Line and speed at WR...

McD is not going anywhere any time soon... But that does not take him off the hook for those 13 seconds...That was a debacle and it's his job to figure out how to win when you have a 91% probability to do so...This loss is squarely on the Coaching staff...The game was won...And they blew it...

100%

It's a great point...2 Drafts...One 1st and two 2nd Rd picks at DE...I just don't know how smart it is to go back to that well again... I think they'll look for vet help on the D-Line and look to turn this Offense into a completely unstoppable force in the Draft...O-Line, WR speed, and a feature RB to push Moss out...

You can hold the 1st time...But if you do it again, and the refs feel it's intentional, it's a 15 yard penalty and they put the time back on the clock...You can still knock the s*** out of them in the first five yards...You could've done that at any time...You just can't intentionally hold on consecutive downs...At least that's how they explained the rules this AM on WGR...

Honestly I did not think they would squib it...But I did think they would have Bass hit it high and a little short...They have done that at times this season and Bass was able to not only kick it a little short of the goal line, but also in one corner...They actually had some nice success with it at times. I think they were just scared to death...They saw the speed burn us already and were scared to do anything but kick it through the endzone. In their defense all they have to do is hold them to less than 40 yds in 13 seconds and they win...So...Anyway...

From the kickoff on, every thing they tried failed in catastrophic ways. Things could have gone sort-of-bad and they still would not have managed to get in FG range after a kick and 13 seconds... It was just a disaster scenario...

Right...No question we could have handled that kick better...No question...But even still I look at it like...They have 13 seconds...They need a huge amount of yards...You gotta stop it there...You just have to...

Yes...I'm only saying they may have wanted to kick it deep just short of the goal line purposely to do that, and more...They did it a lot this year and executed it very well at times...I'm not saying that's what happened...But I do think it's possible...And I'm not sure we'll ever know...

Yep...

I agree...To me it's not the kick at all...For all we know they wanted Bass to kick it just short of the goal line and he just got too much leg into it...We may never know... The 13 seconds are what matters IMHO...

Agreed...They have to get better...This game was so close we needed them on point. We all knew they would not stop KC and Mahomes all together... But the 2...two 3rd and shorts completely taking the ball out of Josh's hands...What is that? And those 13 freaking seconds...That was bad...They're gonna have to answer for that kinda stuff...for sure...

I agree...That was an epic meltdown...Just brutal...

Yep... Anything...

I should say while I continue to complain about that Defensive coaching debacle that...We have Josh Freaking Allen...And as long as we have that dude we are going to be in it EVERY year...Because that kid is so ridiculously good...And he has not peaked folks...Not yet... Go Bills...

You'd think by that time they were tired of seeing Hill run... Guess not...

It's really worse than that because all they have to do is get them to milk 13 seconds...He (Mahomes) cannot hold the ball long...He has to get rid of it...They just played it like they did not know what they were doing...Plus they took time outs to play that poorly in that short period of time.

I think at the very least you HAVE to check Hill and Kelce...If they try to beat you elsewhere you can still have plenty in coverage if they only rush 3... They just...Ugh...They literally did the worst possible thing they could Defending that situation...You can't get that many yards in 13 seconds without the Defense making mistakes...Just unacceptable...
