In the general Bills fandom, you're probably way more common. i haven't always been like this. probably been a few years now though. i used to love watching manning. the last couple years though, ive just come to figure out that the other games don't really matter. everything up until december almost literally doesn't matter. it's a game of momentum. just feels like a waste of time to keep up with other teams until very close to the end. and now the bills are gone, and i don't need to stick around to root against brady or the pats. feels kind of good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s (probably) the case this year but with Burrow and Herbert developing plus Wilson floating around it won’t necessarily be the case moving forward.

We don't need to feel TOO badly for them when they lose a game. And that's the thing, I'm acknowledging that they ARE human beings who DO feel these disappointments in very real ways. Money doesn't absolve that. So let's appreciate their hard work, but not get carried away in the loss feels for THEM.

How does that happen I still can’t wrap my head around it. Give up 10 yards not 30. It's not that easy. Mahomes and the KC offense was virtually unstoppable all game. I wasn't confident we could stop them for 3 plays. I mean can't you say the same thing about the Chiefs not stopping the Bills on their mircle touchdowns? In reality, the Bill's were super fortunate to be winning the game with 13 sec to go. Most Chiefs fans probably would think they deserved to win if they had lost. Can't say I disagree with that because Allen to Davis Tds were almost surreal in real time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First our regular season schedule was pretty decent in terms of ‘easiness’, then the Colts and Chargers bowed out in week eighteen, lining up a better match up against the Pats, followed by the Bengals beating Derrick Henry’s Titans, the Packers and the Bucs bowing out… sorry, it was our chance and we blew it. We gifted it to Mahomes and KC. I doubt things will fall into play so readily next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The utter lack of courage by the coaches on the 13 second drive has made the Bills a poster child for blowing a big game. Allen and the offense showed amazing courage scoring twice in the last few minutes. The coaches were so absolutely gutless and stupid giving the victory away in the last 13 seconds. Now we will have to hear about it for many many years to come. What other team has done this in the playoffs? 13 seconds. Mahomes will get the credit but the coaches basically just gave it to him. I could not even believe what I was seeing. It should have gone down in history as one of the greatest QB performances in playoff history. Instead, because the coaches had no balls whatsoever, it is one of the greatest collapses in playoff history and the wrong qb will be honored and probably win another SB. I would be so ***** pissed at whoever called that defense if I was a Bills player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels20X6 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Guys, this loss stings HARD. But losing this game in no way means we "just lost another Super Bowl". This is the friggin' NFL where games aren't won on paper or 'feelings'. There is absolutely no guarantee that the Bengals would have just come to Buffalo and laid down for us. And even if we did beat the Bengals, the Rams/49ers ridiculous pass rush may have eaten our shabby O-line for dinner (the way the Bucs did Mahomes last year when everyone thought he was untouchable). We lost a tough game to what is now our only rival in the AFC. But it was still just a divisional game. No promises that the Chiefs win next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief you are an oddball. I'm a great deal of fun at parties, if I do say so myself. And it's funny, in my opinion, that we (including me) often share so much empathy for the players instead of for one another. I do it all the time. I feel for these guys. But, I mean, the WNY teacher and the fireman and the nurse and the server who maybe have season tickets and have suffered heartbreaks like SBXXV and the Music City Miracle deserve more recognition for their pain than the 20-something athlete who lives elsewhere, makes a handsome wage, and will likely move on sooner rather than later. It's a simple point that needn't be repeated like this except for your rejection of its central premise. So chill out. Let me celebrate my fellow WNYers and their legacy of disappointment before we lose an inordinate amount of sleep over the playoff plights of gifted young professional athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Been thinking about the final 13 seconds. Squib it, I get that. Even if you don't, couldn't you just press every receiver and just grab them and tackle them so they can't run their routes? Yes, you get called for holding and the Chiefs get 5 yards, but time ticks off the clock. Next play, do the same thing. More time ticks off. Who cares if you give them 5 yards two or three times? The time will run out. Keep the safeties deep if you want to protect in case Mahomes scrambles or a running back gets it. Anyways, I think the defensive coaches did not think through this situation properly. They should have never gone to a prevent defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
