Rockee96 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Bills Mafia, You were so encouraging to me when I openly shared my fears and hopes before the Ravens Game - thank you. I honestly really didn't expect us to win today, but I am heartbroken even though I set my expectations low. Also, it's not the fact that we lost but the WAY we lost. I am so mad at many of the Bills coaches, but I won't go there. I need to move on, but this one really hurts deep. Any Perspective or words of comfort? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 We lost to a better team. It’s that simple. When there’s a loss it’s natural to assign blame, but sometimes it’s just that the other side is better. Sad tonight but the future is bright. 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Three years ago the Chiefs lost the AFC Championship game, they won the Super Bowl the following year. Edited January 25, 2021 by Warcodered 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCBongo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Team did better than anyone thought. This reminds me of 1988, a young Bill's team went to Cincinnati for the AFC championship and lost. Of course we and skip 1989 and avoid the bickering Bills, and to 1990 and a super bowl appearance. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnallen Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Chiefs were a better team. The Bills would have had to play a near perfect game to win, which they unfortunately didn’t. All in all it was a pretty damn good year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCockSportif Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) The Bills had a fine, fine season, and exceeded my expectations at every step of the way. Until today. So let's see if they build a machine that can beat KC next season, because I think that, short of a total Bills' meltdown in 2021, KC is THE team to beat in the AFC in 2021. I hated the outcome of this game, don't get me wrong. Then again, I am not surprised. KC was lights out, exactly as I expected them to be, and the Bills had to be perfect to stand a chance. Which they weren't by a long shot. Edited January 25, 2021 by Groin 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think Allen played his tail off. Bills need more elite talent. That’s really what I saw tonight. We don’t have a Tight End, Brown could separate, we don’t have a pass rush and we need another corner. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reader Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Losing sucks, but there is a ton to be encouraged about with this team and if Beane is able to hit on our draft/FA we have every reason to believe we'll be in this game again this time next year.

Big Blitz Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 You'll feel better when the Chiefs beat Tampa by 28 points and realize we lost to the best team in the league. Our flaws are easily fixable. We'll be back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Chiefs are the best team in football by a large margin. We lost to the best. Josh showed the yips, whereas Patrick played like a seasoned vet. Our coaching was weak, and played scared. No killer instinct. And, I’m at peace with it. It was a heck of a run, but the Browns ***** us. Hard. Now, GO CHIEFS! Beat Tom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak-O Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Chiefs on paper is the better team. They also played by far the better game. If you want words of comfort just look at this team's progress year by year. We got to a 13-3 regular season more or less without a defense or a run game. We can improve more than the Chiefs and will hopefully be closer next year. Also, I expect Josh to improve his completion percentage from ~69 to around ~79. Either that or he sucks and we should have drafted Mahomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They did everything they accomplished this year with basically no running game. So there is a clear area of improvement that shouldn't be too hard to get more out of than they did this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills404 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) We were a hail mary away from 14-2 against one of the hardest schedules in the league and and made it to the AFC championship. We also didn't mess up our cap space or draft capital to do it. This is only the beginning. Edited January 25, 2021 by gobills404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They just made plays, i thought that drop by Singeltary in the first half was huge, he just needs to be released no speed or size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 We weren't good enough. Heartbroken for me was last years Houston game when we were in FG range in OT. This game never looked like ours, even at 9-0, that's nothing against this team. The offense and defense were outmatched unfortunately. Just have to move on to the offseason. I love this team but life goes on and it's not the worst thing in the world! It was a great season and yes I probably wouldn't say that if I was a fan of the Chiefs or Pats so you can call it loser talk but this team has been losers of the worst kind for so many years, this season was great over all. Sad to lose this way in the end but at least they can see where they need to improve now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I said the Reid is a POS and his players represent him very well, i guarantee you had Allen been the one with a concussion they would have gone after early.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I got no words of comfort. Bills coaching staff came up way short today. No play makers on offense or defense, outside McKittrick and Bass-o-Matic. Josh tried to carry the team, but got no help from the O-line or his receivers, who somehow could not get as open as the Browns receivers did last week. I'd like to be positive, but this game showed us how far we still have to go to make the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 im fine with the loss, am i happy about it, no. Overall tho, we now have a QB, who if he continues his trend, will come back next season, having learned from the last. If the team progresses like he does over the off season, we will eventually have the ability to beat KC. the future looks good. go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bills were outcoached and out QBed and couldnt block a 4 man rush and couldnt get to the QB and couldnt get a real redzone TD(when it counted) Great season...lots to work on.Like some guy on here said everything looked like a jailbreak tonite.
