How aren’t you disgusted with this loss I’m confused? If you can just brush this off you truly aren’t a fan. I’m disgusted with half of these posters in this board. 60% of you just brush it off like things will change tomorrow.

 

ITS BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE WE WON A PLAYOFF GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS

GTFO out of here, you're an idiot.

The buffalo bills are an awful franchise. I don’t care  how optimistic you may feel about our drafting. ITS BEEN 25 years since a playoff win

 

FANS NEED TO BOYCOTT THESE HOME GAMES. 

Fans of buffalo do NOT deserve this. This is embarrassing on all levels and has been for decades. 

 

WHAT THE ***** NEEDS TO CHANGE SOMEONE FIGURE IT THE ***** OUT!!! this is absolutely embarrassing on so many levels how bad this team can be every single year for the last 25 ***** YEARS!! 

The hurt will pass. Shut off the TV and sports talk. Forget about the Bills for a while. In two months you’re going to be ready to go for next season. You’ll enjoy free agency and the draft, then the summer speculation. 
 

The future is bright. Don’t bail on something you love just because it hurts right now.

Pound for pound their QB is a hell of a lot better than ours.

Bottom line is you dont win NFL games in the modern era scoring 1 touchdown.

 

A lot of people will predictably blame this or that player or this or that play but the truth is we dont dial up a quick strike throws when needed and plays called require way to much time to develop at critical junctures of the game.

 

Yup.  All I heard this week was how bad Houston's secondary was, yet we flat out refused to attack it.

Texans fan here. Just wanted to congratulate y’all on a really good season. Y’all had me stressed out of my mind lol. I know it’s a hard loss to take but I definitely think y’all are trending in the right direction. I have a few quick thoughts about y’all’s team. The defense is every bit as good as advertised. I know y’all are mad at them especially for the third and eighteen given up but they played well most of the game. Biggest things for y’all is getting Allen some help. Allen needs more awareness for sure but I felt like some of his mistakes were due to having nobody on offense. Brown and Beasley are great complimentary pieces but y’all need someone better. Also y’all need a tight end because I’m not even sure who y’all have even after watching the game and they are usually the security blanket. Anyway great game, I know y’all will be back next year!

This game got so bad that it inspired me to fire a guy that I’ve been wanting to fire for a while at work. So, something good did come out of this game

Hopefully he won't set the building on fire

How about that missed block on that Allen sweep in overtime? If we pick that safety up Allen picks up 15 yards easy.

You can thank the highest paid center in the league for that missed block.

we would never tee off  We could be up 30 and we;d be in that soft umbrela zone allowing checkdowns for 18  We went after Watson to get that 16 pt lead than went into prevent run the clock out  Stereotypical McDermott  He wants to win a super bowl he's going to have to change  I've seen this show before  Its called the Bucs under Dungy  Played same defense same conservative offense same result  They finally got that super bowl under Gruden who then ran the team into the ground

 

 

No the only thing that changed was they found Nuke.

 

I watched this game knowing Houston turns it up in the 2nd half especially him and if we keep playing "not to win" we're done.  

 

We needed TDs when we got FGs.  Our OC coached liked 16 was enough my D has this.

 

No.  This is Watson and the Texans.  You should know their MO.

It's a PLAYOFF loss. I'll take playoff losses over being eliminated by Columbus Day 100 our of 100 times.

 

Take a lap, pal.

 

Ok.

 

So, the Bills didn’t get the 18/20 Participation Trophy they’ve received this Milennium.

 

Now, they’ve got the 0/2 Playoff one instead? ?

 

FFS, this was a horrendous choke!

You must be brainwashed like the rest of these morons. Please do not respond to me. I cannot deal with brainwashed buffalo fans. I’ve been a fan since 1989. How many PLAYOFF WINS DO WE HAVE??????? And how many super bowls do we have???? 

 

 

Its 2020!!!!!! Are you going to wait until you die to finally win? Wtf is wrong with you people? I’m so confused how you just accept this terrible coaching year after year 

 

Yes, I'm brainwashed. That must be the only logical conclusion.

I'm just mad I don't have another week to argue why Duke williams should play this week. Seriously though, he had some good catches today. He should've been playing all season.

There's no reason Allen can't be a star.

 

His highlight reel is amazing.

 

Unfortunately, most of what happens in between the highlights isn't anywhere close to good enough.

 

Week in and week out he makes the hard throws look easy and the easy ones look hard.

 

He's two full years into his career, and we still have a guy who can't complete passes to open receivers when they're uncovered (see 3rd down on their 45 yard line when he threw the ball at Williams feet when any pickup of yardage would have presented an opportunity to kick a field goal). 

Yeah that was the one where Watt hit him on the arm as he threw.  Go root for your boy Winston.

No, the refs cost us this game with that penalty. And the overturned kickoff TD. And the non-call delay of game on the Texans' 3rd & 18 play. And the litany of non-calls on their offensive line, and the litany of non-calls on their WRs' offensive PI, and the offsetting personal foul when their guy tackled our guy way after the play was over on White's forced fumble.

 

These things were not our players' faults.

Don’t forget Watt knocking Allen down then landing on him with his weight after he threw the ball. All calls go out the window when Josh is getting hit...

[JROC INTEL]

1. Duke barely plays all year - throw it to him all game .

2. Throw to your fullback 40 yards into double coverage.

3. Don't use Gore or singletary in ot.

4. Lateral to no one after a long run.

5. Could make it an easier kick to tie it up but throw two balls into the stands 40 yards down the field.

6. Forget watt , don't block him

7. Play loose zone on 3rd and 18 covering too far down the field .

8. Play too conservative in the 2nd half. Too aggressive in OT .

 

I can go on and on. Talent is not the issue.

 

Daboll needs to go.

Resign Frank. 

For the love of God teach Josh to hold on to the football.

Allen's lack of situational awareness is staggering.

 

How many times has he taken a sack or grounded the ball knocking us out of field goal range this year?

 

5? Maybe 6 times?

 

His football IQ is incredibly low.

 

Lateraling the ball with over a minute left, searching for a field goal was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen from a QB.

Neither one of the sacks in the drive before he led the game tying drive were his fault. Not. Even. Close. Get a god damned clue. It will be your first.

[Nihilarian]

There is just no way that this offense should have been asking Josh Allen to throw 46 times...no freaking way! and Singletary with only 13 rushes.

 

This game was the Mr Hyde side of Brian Daboll and he can throw in some trick plays now and again but he can't figure out how to get a solid run game working. Or get the pass plays with proper protections working. 

 

There was a thread of Daboll getting an interview with the Browns and half of the Bills fans crying about it because they love the guy...I just don't understand why that is.

Or why he should even remain on this coaching staff.

This was the big play Watson made I think 

 

Maybe make the tackle/sack!!

[Mc1320]

Coaches and players totally pooped the bed in the 2nd half.  No excuses losing a playoff game up by 16 w/26 minutes left.

 

Allen looked like a deer in headlights in the 2nd half and Tre got smoked by Hopkins when the game was on the line.  Defense fell apart when Watson started running the ball.

 

As a season ticket holder that drove round trip 13+ hours from MD for 5 games at the Ralph this season and spent the money to come to Houston, this is so disappointing.

 

Not in the mood to hear about “The Process” anymore because that just went off the rails today - going to be another long, bitter offseason.

At this juncture of life, I have scores of things to do, which I take advantage of.
 

And I don’t contribute to the Bills anymore by attending games, as I did for 20 years.
 

I’ve got waaaay more skin in the game than you.

[JROC INTEL]

You still have a full second once the clock hits zero

[KDIGGZ]

In the 3rd quarter the Bills defense went into prevent and the offense put in Frank Gore. They were acting like it was the end of 4th quarter and they needed to protect the lead. There was still a lot of time left. By being conservative and trying not to lose they lost. Bad coaching, poor execution, bad tackling, bad refs = L

[jrym515]

1 TD against a bottom tier defense.  They played ‘not to lose football’ all year and it caught up to them.  Total choke.  This will be a long offseason.

I am on board in wanting Daboll to go but are we certain McFieldgoal is the answer as the head coach? It starts with him and if that game plan is part of the process then he should follow Daboll out the door as well.

Spot on. Concern is you can only coach awareness so much, it's an instinct and when instincts kick in he will do what he does.

I miss the good old days when Turd Taylor threw 15 check downs to an obese full back called Tolbert.

I've been a fan since 1983. Try again.

 

You have scores of things to do, yet you're here caterwauling like a spoiled child. Not buying ANY of that post, buddy.

 

[KD in CA]

Bills - 78 plays

Houston - 58 plays

 

Allen - 52%

Watson - 80%

 

 

Allen can make great plays but his decision making and accuracy must improve.  He's not good enough yet.
