1/17/26 GAMEDAY AFC Division Playoff Bills at Broncos Post Game Thread

[Blank Stare]

Still no clue how that wasn’t a catch. Or the penalty on Taron. Or the penalty on Tre. Josh was both the reason we should’ve won that game and the reason we lost it. Hit Knox in stride we’re moving on. Don’t inexplicably fumble the ball at half, we’re moving on. McD’s defense comes up small with Savage and Dane Jackson getting smoked for TDs as soon as they come in. You can’t make up how many times this team repeatedly kicks its fans in the nuts. But hey, let’s give Beane and McD more time to piss Josh’s career away. They’ve earned that.

And the Bills either need to get a real receiver or get MYLES GARRETT!!! There’s no way in hell a mid QB like Nix can pass 46 times and not get sacked once!!!! We need a dominant pass rusher, and one that doesn’t get injured. And go after Jim Schwartz and a real OC. 

[Captain Murica]

This was Josh’s shot to prove everyone wrong. He blinked.

Who are you going to get in whose better?

 

I'll wait.

at his age, get a rookie and surround him with actual talent.    Good coaches dont put it all on the QB.  And a QB that performs well but misses throws he needs to make. or trying to do too much and it seems to happen with Allen.

FWIW, I would keep McDermott, fire Beane, Babich and Brady 

 

Fire Beane. Then let the new GM make the call on McDermott.

If we're being 100% honest, it was a good ball but was a tad underthrown.  Cooks had to slow for that catch which gave the defender the ability to make a play for it.  

 

Yeah that's fine, but it was either a catch or it was DPI... especially with the 2 they called after that on the Bills...

 

You can't call those and then not call it on the ball to Cooks just because the guy ended up coming up with it.

[BillsFanNC]

Josh is the best player in the NFL.

 

Also the most wreckless.

 

Today it bit us in the ass.

So, if you don't score on the 1st possession, the other team gets the ball again & you may never get the ball back-that's what happened.  

 

As opposed to not scoring on the 1st drive, giving it to the opponent, and never getting the ball again?

 

It works both ways, but you're supposed to kick first since that way you know if you have all 4 downs to work with. 

 

If you need a score, you play all 4 downs. If you're in FG range, you play differently since a FG wins the game. If you need a TD, you go all 4 downs. 

 

But if you start with the ball & just kick a FG or don't score, you give the opponent way more options.

 

We had the advantage. Defense got the stop. We turned it over & lost the game.

I’m not sure how willing to relinquish defensive play calling McD is, but if he is, Jim Schwartz is the answer.

[4th&long]

LOL someone thought this team was going anywhere. You can win with just josh Allen in the regular season, come playoff time you need more. You need playmakers on both sides of the ball. Mcd and bean need to go. If that is not obvious now to people they will never get it.

[jahnyc]

Our in season replacement players (Cooks, Hardiman, Savage and Jackson) all failed to make critical plays that were significant contributors to our loss today.  Unbelievable.

But also the reason we even had a chance 

Of course, let’s not hold our starting QB accountable. Josh Allen saving his worst play for OT is a thing!

White's grab was a penalty. He clearly grabbed the receivers left arm and White was not making a play on the ball. 

The call on Johnson was ticky tacky and should have been avoided in a close game

[Steptide]

I just can't get over that cooks "interception". They didn't even seem to review it. Just absolutely flabbergasted 

[Strethor]

These games are so frustrating because with all the mistakes that happened we just needed one more good play. For Josh to set his feet and throw a strike to Knox, for Cooks to survive the ground, for the defense to not let a substitution get isolated, heck maybe don't become a potato before the half. At the end of the day this year is a GM failure, Josh dragged us as far as he could

Josh threw to a good spot. Hardman should have flattened the route but he kept fading deeper. That's why the throw looked short.

No josh way under threw .. also missed 88 to win game. That said cook was pi in 4th, caught in ot , and soft pi on 27 ….. joke refs and Gene S keeping his check by ball washing crap refs 

[Since1981]

Nix not impressive. 
bills turnovers ….

i can see the penalty on tre..he tackled the guy before the ball got there.  the cooks one is bs...as far as im concerned once his knee hit the turf he was down, play should have been over at that point.   plus he had the ball when his knee hit.
