Serious question..does anyone really believe this is still a super bowl team? We may not even win the division now. Truly unreal. Once again it’s like beating kc in the regular season was their sb and forgot there was more games left. This is exactly what happened last year

We have a Super Bowl caliber team coached by a #1 pick in the draft coaching staff.

Way to jinx us Fox sports with your stupid statistic about the Bills not losing a game when leading at the half by 14 since 1960-something.  

1968.  Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States, for a first term, just five days earlier.

[Lionel Hutz]

McDermott has to go. He is a not a good coach and he’s wasting the best Bills roster we’ve ever had. The talent of this team was covering up all his McD’s flaws every week. He can’t make good decisions to help the team win close games. He will probably fire Dorsey and use him as the scapegoat but it all starts at the top.

I mean…..speaking honestly here. JA has to be completely out of the running for MVP. He would have to have some monstrous remaining games through the rest of the year and Pat Mahomes would have to break his leg. 

Yes, I agree. 

 

Who gave a crap in the first place?

I don’t believe the fumble was on josh but a lot of other stuff was 

 

But why the F are you trying to sneak it from the half yard line??

 

Snap it in shotgun and let Josh run out wide and if he can't get it, he throws it out of bounds...pretty sure on 1 out of 3 attempts he would have been able to get out of the endzone if not get a first down to end it.

[Roundybout]

Stop coddling injuries. It is disgraceful to have half the defense out because they have boo-boos.

How will that help Josh from throwing pics?

Try freaking kicking a field goal which would’ve been the most common sense approach of all time instead of going for it on fourth down. The game was over a long time ago

[blueblooded]

All Cam Lewis had to do was swat the ball away on that 4th down instead of trying to catch it for the INT. 😩

I still believe this is a Super Bowl team but it's dependent on a fitter defense and Josh playing to the best of his potential.

Bench Josh Allen! Who agrees???? 

That’s a smart ***** move. Absolutely brilliant. How most of you guys aren’t rocket scientists or brain surgeons I’ll never know

Yep, maybe now boastful Bills fans will understand the div is no longer a cakewalk.

Yup it’s the bills fans fault.

Go Bills!!

[Buffalo_Stampede]

27-10 before Edmunds left the game.

I think the inconsistency is simply who he is.  He can be great or really bad, and it can change based on possession, quarter, half, game, or multi-game streak.

 

 

Yeah the problem is that he’s our paid franchise guy, and still the heart of the team. You don’t want to be wondering which Josh you’re gonna get… and now it seems to be on a quarterly basis. 

[buffalobillswin]

Allen should cut down on the commercials a bit. Don't want to get into Baker Mayfield territory

In their defense… we have good backups when one or two guys are out.  
 

We finished the game missing Edmunds, Rousseau, Poyer and Elam.  Tre in witness protection.  Backup already in for Hyde since he’s done.  
 

Just insane. 

 

We have to hear every week how "Cam Lewis is a young hungry talent" etc etc

 

Idiot doesn't even know how to swat a ball away. 

[Barnaby Wilde]

I'm sick. I do not know what to say.  Seems like Josh does enough but then the surehanded receivers drop the ball.  He it Digs and Knox right in the numbers and they drop the ball.  I thought is was over with 44 seconds.  So much to talk about but don't know what to say.  Same old story really.  Can't win the one score games and have glaring issues in the red zone because they have no run.  4th and 2 near the goal line and you have to pass?  Didn't work on 3 down either.  I don't understand this curse.  You do everything humanely possible and still lose and this after all you had to do is run off 44 second.  I thought 13 Seconds was painful enough.  I got alot of flack around here about my criticisms of Mich Morse.  I don't know what happened on that snap but leave it to Morse, sure enough.  Knox has to catch that ball.  Diggs has to catch that ball.  These are franchise and fan base scarring losses.  Just so painful.  What does this team have to do to win a great game?

I've been saying that for weeks and getting laughed at.

 

I'm not laughing, but I deserve to be.

@Gene1973 IMO this is NOT the game to hang your hat on "Bills think they are better than anyone else" No way. I call BS

[Iverwig]

Great question asked of Josh. Up by 17 most teams would run the ball more why aren’t they calling more run plays. Josh protected Dorsey by saying he may need to make better decisions in calling run plays. 

[stevestojan]

The only word I won’t use is “unbelievable.” Hell, doing what normal teams do and win the game when the defense hands you the ball to seal the victory would be unbelievable at this point. 
 

It was all too believable to see 44 seconds on the clock and the absolute worst possible thing to happen. 
 

This loss sucked, was unacceptable, and makes me wonder why I continue to watch. But it was also 100% believable.

That I don’t know…but it looked like it was a crappy snap on the fumble

Super toilet bowl. Caliber nothing 

[Beast]

I’m officially off the McDermott/Frazier bandwagon.

 

Going back to the 13 second debacle in the playoffs to….

 

The 12 second debacle in KC this season to…..

 

Today giving up so many 3rd and 4th and longs. Ridiculous yardage needed to convert. And the Vikings did. The Bills can’t stop crucial long yardage situations? Awful!

 

And Dorsey? 4 field goals in our last 7 quarters after halftime.

 

There is no excuse for this. The coaching staff is letting this team down. I don’t give a ***** who is injured.

We are becoming the Phillip Rivers, Ladanian Tomlinson early 2000's Chargers (or Big Ben, Antonio Brown Steelers). Always hyped to win it, always falling short. Looking like we are a perpetual pretend contender.

The coaches need to step up! You win with Josh you lose with him, but I’d rather have him than any other quarterback.

Knox has to make that catch.

 

Bad throw by josh at the end

Not sure that's fair on Knox.  The defender played it perfectly and has his entire arm in there where the ball was.

 

 

[Success]

JA looked shaken at that presser.

 

He has to work his way back. It's a crisis of confidence right now - but really, just a couple of bad games.  He has to get it back.

This is 100% not a Super Bowl team. It’s not even close. List of teams better than the Bills. 
 

KC obviously 

Miami

Bengals 

Raiders

Jags

Broncos

Pats

Chargers

Browns

Texans

Steelers

To say the least.  This kind of loss can derail a season 

Or it can forge a winning streak that carries you through the season and into the playoffs.

 

I'm not happy about the loss but writing this team off before Thanksgiving?!?  They'll get it together and be a playoff team.

[The 9 Isles]

Back to reality. Bills fans had a fun ride for a little bit. 
 

All of those posters always calling out critical posts should all stfu now. 
 

The Bills always revert back to what they’ve always been. Lovable losers of the league. 
 

I admit I fell for it again, I started to buy in but until they win a superbowl they are still the same old Bills with some gaudy stats.

He pumped once, then was late and behind on the throw. The play wasn't really there, regardless. He didn't need to force it.

 

Once again, Allen didn't want to take what he was given. On that 4th and 2 towards the end of the 4th, he could've just taken the 2 yards, but he goes for the end zone. Same thing in overtime. He's in easy FG range, but instead of living for the next down he forces it into the end zone.

Gabe shouldn't be running crossing routes in the end zone.

 

He should be getting balls on the back shoulder to high point on the outside

 

Throwing in the middle of the field is far riskier, and that risk wasn't needed at that point in the game

[Maine-iac]

As bad as the defense was they made the goal line stand ............... just don't fumble the ball in your own end zone and you win.

So we can’t stop the Jets because Milano.  
 

Can’t stop Vikings because Edmunds.

I've never been so angry after a loss, more than 13 seconds.

And who’s available??? Who’s gonna want to coach here?? Think logically please

hahah.  who was the clown who thought we shouldn’t sit JA to let him watch a game and called me all sorts of names?   He was the Minny MVP today.   What now!

Turning down points late in the 4th quarter....just epically stupid.

I mean there is a time and place for that...maybe if you are down 7 and there is 5 seconds left and you have to get the ball to the EZ. Then OK...you gotta try that throw...but this??

 

No reason to make that throw...none. This team fought way too hard to overcome his dumbass plays today for him to make another one.

Looked like Gabe should've stood underneath his receiver that's where Allen released it

Simply put you don't force anything in that situation. They had plenty of time and didn't need the TD at that time. Bad play call, bad judgement by Josh.
