Tolstoy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 This was a great season by the Bills--they finished top 4. That is better than anyone expected. What killed them, in my opinion (and as others have remarked), were three things: 1. A lack of a dominant pass rush 2. An absent running game 3. An absence of a dominant "underneath game" of tight ends and running backs catching the ball (we did some of that late, but not nearly enough all season) I think Daboll did great because he developed Allen, but now he needs to step up and develop a running game.

dgrochester55 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Buffalo has turned around quickly under McDermott, but they have more work to do. If anyone in the summer said the Buffalo with this schedule would be 13-3 and a championship with Allen being in the running for mvp, I would have been very excited. I am in a down mood tonight, but in the long run, i will see this season as a positive and exciting one. The front seven on the defense needs to be addressed. The players who have replaced players such as Lawson, Phillips, Louteuoi did not get it done this year. The front seven needs a player that does for the defense what Diggs did for the offense this year.

PrimeTime101 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 This team has Issues on Defense and offense line and RB ALL FIXABLE. They gave a good run and we were out classed. it happens. I am glad it ended like this and not a true heart breaker. The future of this team is bright. We just put it all in our QB Hands and that AINT RIGHT! Cheer them when they come home we will. Love this team we always will. The tears are real and ok to feel. We live breath love the Bills and soon we will be on top of the Hills. We will be back stronger at back will we do not lack we will see the AFC Champ game Back to Back Go Bills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 right on the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Go Buffalo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I wish it were a different ending this season, but the Bills will be back! I live in Kansas, and have been a Bills fan ever since I could walk, so I'll tune out all the Chief's chatter after this one......while I continue to wear my Buffalo Bills gear loud and proud! Until next time.....Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game felt a lot like the 1988 AFC Championship game. The Bills were totally over powered and lost 21-10. That was only the start of that teams run. I believe that no one will put in more effort to get better in the off season than Josh Allen. He's only 24, and made it all the way to the Conference title game.

B-Large Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Queefs are 3-4 years ahead of the Bills in roster building and continuity. The Bills needed to get beat up, pushed around, and outplayed- so they can grow and shake that tentative, on their heels mentality they showed today. they didn’t believe they could win, and it showed. The speed and intensity of that loss is now a benchmark for Buffalo- from here on out, you play to then benchmark. This is a growth experience, even though it feels *****. Buffalo is an ether team next year for having gone through that, well, whatever that was. 2 years, Super Bowl. Book it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I agree, to beat KC, we could definitely use an elite pass rusher! A few other piece too (RB comes to mind). Don’t know why our receivers weren’t able to get separation. They seemed to get good separation in the previous games 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I lived through four lost super bowls, like many others here. They all sucked, but I was young and didn't fully appreciate what we were doing at the time. I do now. This loss hurts, no question. But KC was favored for a reason -- they're the best team in the NFL. There's no shame in losing here, just like KC should not have felt ashamed if this game had gone the other way. We earned our way into the playoffs and beat two good teams to get here. This is a young team with a great staff and FO. We're primed for continued success. Off-season priorities for me: figure out a way to cover TEs. I don't know what that means personnel-wise or scheme-wise, but make it happen. I don't want to get torched by Kelce and Gesike next year. Second, we need a RB. I love Motor as a change of pace back, but it's obvious that he's not the answer at that position and it's also obvious that the Bills staff don't like this unit overall. We don't need Derrick Henry, just somebody reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1st half on 2 KC TD drives they had a 3rd and long. One they converted on their side, other they got a 4-1 in FG range. You hold them to a FG they only have 17 buffalo gets a TD instead of FG it’s 17-16 at half in 2nd half they trade FGs, KC gets a TD Then buffalo throws a red zone pick. they-trade TDs ...the game at this point before buffalos recovered onside kick it’s a one score game. Had buffalo not thrown the pick and got a TD it’s likely tied or a small deficit. the point I’m getting at its small margins was the difference in the game. Thus comesdiwn to execution.

Nihilarian Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Words of comfort? KC HC Andy Reid was a super bowl coach before he went to KC from Philly. Noted for being an offensive guru. Took a 2-14 team and went 11-5 in 2013!!! (9-7 2014), (11-5 2015), (12-4 2016), (12-4 2018), (12-4 2019) (14-2 2020) Seven years! The Chiefs were a playoff team when Patrick Mahomes was drafted and he was able to sit and watch for an entire season. They already had a good O line, defense, receiving corps. Andy Reid has been fine tuning his team all this time. Josh Allen is only in his third season on a team basically being built around that young QB. The team just realized you need a strong run game and passing attack while having an offense with balance to win championship games. Think about those 90's Bills teams, in 88 they went to the AFC championship game and lost to Cincy. 89 to Cleveland in the division round and finally a SB in 1990. So it generally takes a few years to build a SB team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Great season, Beane needs to get better talent on defensive side of the ball. I said our defence would come back to haunt us in the playoffs because they have no play makers and it happened tonight. I don't agree with paying Milano huge money, he is a good but not great player. They need at least one dominant defensive player on this team and a running back. Get those two things and we will be fine, White is good but i am talking about a player in our front 7. Getting a RB will take the pressure off Allen, KC was primed to run on tonight but Singeltary is just not good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, it looked a lot like this in the '80s when the Bills were rising to greatness back then. We didn't shoot straight to the top of the AFC. We had setbacks along the way but were gradually getting better all the time, season to season to season. Once we finally put it all together, we pretty much owned the AFC and went to 4 straight Super Bowls, kind of like what Kansas City is doing now. Rome wasn't built in a day!
