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

[Big Blitz]

Cooks “drop.”

 

Sutton draws DPI

 

 

Thats on Beane.  The life he gave us.  

[Old Coot]

I think the refs must have been tired at the end of the game. All that extra running in thin air.

 

Nothing else explains the two PI calls at the end.

[Livinginthepast]

Ive been a fan for 46 years and only the Bills would lose a game like this. Only the Bills would get screwed on such a terrible call like this. Only the Bills would have a world class QB who inexplicably plays horrendously in his biggest game ever and can never win in OT. Only the Bills would have two of their best receivers get ACL tears in the same game so they would have to use scrubs off the scrap heap for the next one. Only the Bills break your heart and come back for the ever smaller bits over and over again.

One of Drake Maye, CJ Stroud or Bo Nix will make a Super Bowl before Josh Allen. That is disgusting.

 

Yes, Allen made mistakes today. But this organization has failed him. I can't wait to hear Beane justify this and say "Well, we were a few plays away from the AFC Championship game. We aren't gonna be big players in Free Agency."

 

Absolutely an effing disgrace. 

 

Another disgusting thing the Pats get a first place schedule next season. We get a second place schedule next season. Our schedule is still tougher.

[Success]

Denver made the plays they needed to. Full credit to them.

The Bills had this game in hand and once again in the Playoffs all McD has to do is come up with one big stop...


 

[Urban Achievers]

Beane must go. He’s the biggest problem. Even if he promised to draft or trade for WRs out of guilt he would still need  to go. 
 

As for McD I would hold him accountable for hiring under qualified coordinators who cost us games.

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.  

It was a catch, period.

Gene Steratore can blow me.

Every close call he was instantly pro bronco. Wtf

 

I swear the league waits to see what Steratore and the guys think. 

 

 

It's never called that way. 

 

 

It's one of the worst calls in NFL history. 

[DapperCam]

I did not think this was the Bills year. Roster was too weak, and in general offensive scheme wasn’t great. Still a tough way to lose though.

 

I will say we had pretty crap luck with Lewis and White leaving the game and the Broncos scoring TDs immediately on their backups.

Joe Brady is an awful OC, nice runs up the gut in OT on first down and a Hail Mary on 3rd to end the Bills season.  If this clown is the OC next year I’ll be watching highlights not games.  

 

The runs were to make it easier on Allen instead of him throwing every play. It helped get Cooks a good look, even if Allen slightly under threw him. Cooks should've held onto the ball, but Allen could've also lead him with that pass instead. 

[Buddy Hix]

Cook fumble game….

honestly, that ***** is….glad you got paid but you ***** is

McD isn't the problem. Is he great? No. But you have josh allen throwing prayer balls to Brandon cooks. You have tre white and Jordan poyer being KEY players on defense. This is an average roster at its best.

 

This - regardless of who the GM is, roster overhaul coming.

[Chugga]

I just want one before I die.  It didn’t seem like such an impossible feat when I was a kid in the 90s.  Now I’m 42 and it feels like it’s never going to happen

They didn’t really make any play on that last drive lol 

[BuffaloBillsMagic1]

Denver screw job orchestrated by Vince McMahon

That makes absolutely no sense! You always kick. We kicked, got a stop and couldn’t get a FG to end the game!

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.

This is the problem. McDumbass apologists. THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE HC

 

Like I said, I've ve been advocating for a McDermott replacement for probably 3 years now.  

 

I can admit that this one isn't on him.  McDermott didn't turn the ball over.  He didn't miss throws.  He didn't commit pass interference at the end of the game.  

 

I get that emotions are high, but this one ain't on Sean.
