Who’s still mad about 13 seconds?

What are your thoughts?

I still can't watch wide right and homerun throwback. You want me to relive 13 seconds? What happened during those few seconds is seared on my brain. You want I should watch "highlights" of those 13 seconds?

 

To directly answer your question, I'm not mad, but I never need to see those seconds replayed again.

I won't watch a replay of that game. I am not fuming about it anymore as I am looking ahead to the 2022 season. If the day comes when the Bills win a Super Bowl (hopefully Feb 2023) then I will be completely over wide right, MCM, and 13 seconds.

It’s harder for some folk to get past their teams foibles than others. For me, it happened, it’s over, and I moved on without any fanfare, after all its just a football game, and in this particular instance, a damn good one, can’t wait for the preseason and season to start, it’s going to be a good year.

 

Go Bills!!!

I'm just gonna keep posting this anytime someone brings up that game....

 

Several factors contributed to the loss

1) 13 seconds

2) they had all three time outs left

3) they had Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill

4) some Bills players and coaches were already celebrating on the sidelines like the game was over

5) they only needed a FG to tie and go to OT.

I still have a couple months before I can change my username back....I am ready to move on but its hard to accept.   It just seems like an organizational failure....I think the staff go all caught up in the moment and lost their attention to detail.   I know Levi said what he said but it was not his fault.   Kicking it in the endzone and playing prevent were not his calls.

Depends how they respond this season and this means our coaching staff.  They blew it with conversative coaching and not being organized on the kickoff.  Sean and his staff need to learn from this and if the team wins the Super Bowl then everything will be forgiven.

Even with Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce plus 3 timeouts it shouldn't have mattered. 13 seconds and the Chiefs have it at their own 25. I will never understand how the Bills blew that game. 23 seconds or so I could see it especially with 3 timeouts. But 13 seconds shouldn't be enough time to get in FG range but it was.

I’ve watched it a couple times, I believe in my heart we’re going to win one in the next few years. That makes it easier.

 

I also re-watch the pats* game immediately after to make myself feel better.

It'll always be a tough one to get over for me when it comes to McDermott.

 

I don't know how anyone could have watched that game and the way #17 left his blood and guts out there only to have McD blow it, and they largely give him a pass for it. After he also got the pass for also coaching a horrible game the year before in KC. But that's pretty much the way it's been. 

 

It's only an opinion because we don't know what would have/could have happened next...I believe McD cost us a Super Bowl last season. And honestly, I think we'll end up with Josh winning a SB here eventually and it'll be amazing...but I'll always feel that we should have won more with the kind of caliber player he is. This coach unfortunately will probably limit our shot at some kind of dynasty.

The game was replayed on NFL Network just the other night and I watched a good bit of it between basketball and hockey and whatever else was on…including the lunar eclipse. But because of all the channel flipping I missed the last thirteen seconds. Can someone tell me what happened? In a nutshell. 😉

I would say most of us are still upset about "The Music City forward pass", and even "Wide Right".  Way too soon for "13 seconds".

Wide Right was anger, forward pass was like "what just happened, the refs will overturn that" (btw I'm still waiting for the refs to overturn it...), 13 seconds was we just lost a good game and can I please break the wagging finger off of Tyreke Hill...  Just shows our defense needs to get to Mahomes and that we needed an upgrade over Levi Wallace...

In my case "mad" is the incorrect term.  To me, that game is just an addition to the litany of decades of heart breaking events in the life of a Bills Fan. As I get on in years it hurts less, not more. The list of disappointments is well known and too long to list, and even includes just about every draft. 

 

Now, will I ever watch a replay? No freaking way. I am better at resisting self torture these days LOL!

I think McDermott should open the first team meeting with an apology and an encouragement to move on from it.

 

I also believe that the failure led to several offseason signings, especially the Von Miller deal.  In the long run, these signings turned on the aggression switch inside Beane's head, which resulted in our team being substantially better than they would be had they won.  There are no guarantees that they would have beat Cinci and the Rams.  Had they lost the Super Bowl, that  may have been even more disappointing than the 13 seconds.  

 

Therefore, in the long run I believe the 13 second debacle might turn out to be a good thing.

7) extremely poor communication & coaching.

I was over 13 seconds once the game was over.  Things happen in games.  Life moves on.  

 

This is pretty much where I am at. I allowed myself that evening of misery and then moved on. I'm not much for hanging on to negative emotions.

 

That fourth quarter was one of the best offensive displays of football I have ever seen in the playoffs - in pressure packed moment after moment.  

 

I have watched it 5 or 6 times.

 

Amazing performances
