Unbelievable end to the season

 

Go Bills!!!!!

 

Unbelievable is right.  The refs and the NFL screwed us hard and dry.  I don't know how you can call that a turnover when Cooks knee hits the ground and he clearly has possession of the ball, then after the rollover the Broncos come away with it.  They screwed up and the replay official backed the ruling on the field.  Bone job. 

[UKBillFan]

Josh needs to go back to Palmer in the off season. Sorry, people will hate this being said, but his performance tonight was unacceptable for a MVP. Whine about the refs all you want but four turnovers, three on him, won't cut it.

 

Thought the defense did OK in general considering the mess the offense put them in. Yes, that third down play to put them into position for a touchdown in the 4th was horrendous.

 

If we had to lose to anyone in the AFC, I'm glad it's the Broncos. I couldn't stand a defeat to the Patriots or Texans. I guess we're all Texans fans tomorrow.

Unreal. Absolutely unreal. So many blown opportunitys. This was never the team though. I feel terrible for Josh 

Terrible for Josh? He was a big part of the loss 🙄

[TheFunPolice]

I feel like my guts have been ripped out

 

I really thought I knew we were going all the way 

 

I think I better take a break from posting for a bit.

 

Heartbreaking

Cursed inexcusable loss. Allen is going to get plenty of blame and rightfully so but again complete failure from everyone starting at the top.

Our MVP QB came up small today. 4 turnovers……balls hitting the dirt…..etc. 

 

Love Josh , but he gets most of the blame.

 

He also hit Cook perfectly, he caught the ball while the defender was commiting DPI, caught the ball and then had it ruled an INT

[Scott7975]

Im sorry. I cant get over the so called int. That last replay he had it down by contact. I wont get over that till next season. The first PI call was BS but that didnt matter because Bosa had a way late shove on the QB. Tre did get there early I thought.

 

McD and his defense needs to go. Beane needs to go. Brady running Cook up the middle when everybody and the world knows its coming needs to go. Josh made two mistakes but Im not putting the entire game on him.

[BigDingus]

Yeah, I don't care if people want to blame everyone but Allen... Allen playing poorly in the 1st half directly lead to this. 

 

Especially those 3 points with a couple seconds left in the half. That was directly on him. 

 

0-7 in OT isn't by accident. It's a pattern. 

[Cursed]

I don't like this timeline.

[davefan66]

That was not an INT on the Cooks CATCH.  First down at the 20.

 

But that many turnovers before that was why we lost.

Hope Drake Maye goes on to set the world on fire and win the whole damn thing. Like this ***** league is begging for.

worst game for Allen in his career in the playoffs, Defense again failed to keep lead. 

 

Time for Beane and Mcdermott to go.

Agree time for a change , culture of chocking

Listen, I wanted Ben Johnson a season ago, but I don't see how you can blame McDermott for this loss.

 

Between the turnovers and untimely penalties... guys were in position to make plays and win this game.  They didn't. 

 

This one is squarely on the players.  

[DaVinci]

Offense came up small , again

Don't have to worry about Beane or McDermott  getting fired.  Worry about Allen demanding a trade

part of this was on him as well, as much as anyone

[SCBills]

Horrible game for Allen. 
 

Team around him wasn't much better. 
 

McDermott gets SMOKED by Payton on two plays for TD’s where his Defense allows them to iso a backup who just came in the game for a TD …. TWICE. 
 

Out-coached. 

 

Beane’s roster building utterly exposed all game. 
 

This team is never getting to a Super Bowl with McDermott and Beane.   We see this same story play out every year.  A heartbreaking loss where we get out-coached in critical moments and players don’t make plays necessary to win.
