Scott7975 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Im disappointed about it but not mad anymore. I will always be disappointed about it. Hopefully the Bills learned the lesson that the game isnt over until its over. Dont lose focus and celebrate as if its won until the clock says zero. A lot of things went wrong and I belive that last 13 seconds can mostly be blamed on them all losing focus and thinking it was over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Mad? Not mad, but the pain of it will always be with me. Wide right, Music City, Cowboys Monday night, 13 seconds, all are with me every day. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should hire Kelce as our DC--at least he recognized the weakness of the Bills D alignment (twice) in those fateful seconds. Frazier is a mannequin.

IndyMark Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) These "13 seconds" that gets referenced were truly emblematic of that Bills season, not a stand alone occurrence. As such, I was never upset at those 13 seconds as it was who the Bills were last season. Actually, I remain perplexed that there were larger screw-ups that season that impacted us missing the superbowl way more than the 13 seconds that gets overlooked. Cases in point: (1) The 4th quarter 4th down play versus Pittsburgh in the season opener. Inexcusable on every level. Who calls that play? (2) The Jaguars game. The Bills showed they were not quite ready to be "the team". (3) The Colts game. An epic let down at an important part of the season, at home. Interesting that some posters assume if the Bills win in KC they go to the superbowl, well reality indicated quite convincingly that Cinncinnati would have had something to say about that. Plus, to me at least, wide right remains the "bar" of emotions that would rise to being "upset". In sum, the extent of being upset indicating your level of fandom is delusional, at best. They simply were not ready, and proved it multiple times last year. The key is, did they learn those lessons and will they apply them this year. I think they will. Go Bills.

Rocky Landing Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The annoying thing about "13 seconds" is that it has become a rallying point for Patriots* fans who don't want to admit their loss of dominance in the division. They think those two words win arguments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My big 4 are just misery. They're only interesting if they're prelude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The Bills defensive players and coaches have absolutely used the ending of the Chiefs game as motivation for the past 6 months. They had the #1 defense in the league, but that one drive ruined their reputation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notwoz Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I'm not mad. It happened. I had no control over the outcome of the game. My life doesn't depend on what happens with my favorite teams. What makes me made is when my family and friends die before their time. What makes me mad is social injustice, including racism. As for 13 seconds: It was a game. Get over it.

Royale with Cheese Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Its always darkest before dawn. When we win it, it will mean more to us because we’ve had it emotionally hard as a fan base. I know teams like the Lions who have only one playoff win in their existence and the Browns have very little as well. However, we’ve been so close multiple times and that’s where it’s painful. Never really contending does suck but falling a couple of feet short multiple times to the finish line is agonizing. I will probably sob when we win it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 It was a pretty gut wrenching loss, but I think Bills fans try to make it bigger than it is. Sometimes you lose. You go back and try to win next time. If you lose again, you keep trying. No need to make it more than that. We've got a great team. We've got a great QB. We have a great organization. I'll keep rooting for them to win. I don't need to pull out a pitchfork when they lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The one thing I will say about 13 seconds is every Bills game that gets into the 4th quarter I will be nervous unless its an absolute blowout score. If the Bills are up by 14 midway thru the 4th quarter I will still be nervous until the clock shows all zero's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ga boy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 In retrospect, last year wasn’t our year. In regular season, KC was only upper tier team we beat and we looked like zombies against Pitt and lowly Jags. Something was missing. Don’t think we woulda beat Rams. Donald woulda hurt somebody and Tre was out. Maybe 13 seconds was a blessing. Another SB loss woulda been a bummer. This is our year.
