Utah John Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 OK, sure the 13 seconds at the end of the Chiefs game was on the coaches, and were it not for those mistakes we probably win the SB this year. OR the Bills don't lay complete eggs against the Steelers and Jags, two teams they should beat easily, and they get home field and the #1 seed, and don't lose to KC or anyone else in the playoffs. That's on the players as well as the coaches. I'm just saying there are other ways to avoid the disaster and the disappointment. I think the players realize how close they came this year and what they need to do differently next year. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS a missed opportunity. Not just down the road. It will always be. That doesn’t mean that we can’t or won’t win a or multiple SBs in the future. In 17 I trust. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'll never believe in analytical nonsense again. Our legendary #1 defense has given up 80 points to KC in the last 2 playoff games. Taylor shreds us for 5 tds. Our coaches probably get a -8.6 for situational awareness. Any team that loses to the Jags doesn't deserve squat. Josh Allen is the only thing at 8.6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 While I agree that coaching is what cost us the KC game, it seems the narrative that our players are mostly average and our coaching sucks does not seem to fit all the metrics that claim we are indeed a pretty good team. Either our players suck and the coaches did an amazing job or the coaching is sub par but the players are top notch. Or..... the coaching is quite good, the team has quite a bit talent and we need to improve in both categories a little to do better next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I don't know - we were playing better than anyone at the end. But I'd be hard-pressed to say we were the best team in the league this season. We dropped too many winnable games. Next year, if they're the best team, they need to secure the #1 seed.

And then they all act shocked when Bucs or Chiefs or whoever roll the Buffalo Defense The team that wins the SB usually wins a bunch of close games along the way, Field goal type games. The Bills need to figure that out in 2022. It's not just bad luck that they were 0-6 in games decided by a TD or less. It's not realistic to think they can win every game by double digits. The O let them down in few close losses and the D let them down in the others. It was the entire team not just one unit. Gotta improve there.
