Still think we have enough receivers Beane?

Well, they did score 30 hahaha

[wppete]

Micole Hardman dropping that ball was the game. That would’ve been first down and in field goal range. 

[LifeLongBillsFan]

Josh had 2 fumbles and 2 interceptions- it on him - he lost the game 

[BuffaloBillyG]

I would really hate to be a mod on this board right now.

I hope McDermotts has the stones to put the bfl on notice on this press conference. He needs to flat out say the refs stole the game from us and it’s rigged 

 

admit you played like crap but you still won and this ***** needs to end 

Agree

[Captain Murica]

How does this keep happening? Seriously. Anyother profession Beane and McDermott are updating their resumes.

I'm going to speak for everyone. that was the worst loss of the lot

last year hurt, the 13 second game was worse.  
 

I’m starting to expect some weird nonsense in these games that leaves us short. 
 

That Cooks play gets called a simultaneous catch all year… tells me we are cursed.

Never let the game be close because the officials will always steal it from the Bills....

 

Cooks caught the ball, hit the ground, rolled on his back, then the defender took the ball away!!!!

 

Not even reviewed!!!!!!!!

 

Game unfortunately came down to the Allen fumble before the half.......another in the long line of heartbreaking losses we have to endure....

 

This one stings, folks.......

and will hurt for awhile…. Wide receiver is a need heading into next season as all of us know.

[BernieBill]

It was a McDermott Operation loss ... how he isn't livid on the sidelines demanding a Cooks replay and in the refs face saying my guy caught the ball, he just whimpers away, like he does every single year.  Get rid of him, finally.  

[MPT]

I was so happy the refs were letting the guys play today. 

 

They were just biding their time. 

 

No PI on Cooks for the game winning TD. Then a horrible call to put the Broncos in field goal range.

 

Not to mention the catch by Cooks that they just gave to Denver without any reviews.

Josh Allen was the reason why we were in Overtime for the good....and Josh Allen was the reason we were in Overtime for the bad. He had the ball in his hands, to win the game and didn't get it done. Want to blame it on the WR's, Refs, defense whatever go ahead but Allen had it in his hands again and didn't get it done. Those 3 points he squandered at the end of the half was huge. The Turnover(which wasn't his fault) at the beginning of the 2nd half was a killer as well. 

 

If this team could ever learn to play clean football games, they will win a SuperBowl. They are talented enough. Yes they have flaws all over but they are good enough. As I have said now for years, if they want to win a SuperBowl they have to make clutch plays at clutch times. It seems to be Allen's and the Bills bugaboo. 

Tell me what he could have done differently in overtime?  Is he supposed to throw the ball and catch it himself?  You guys want him to trust his teammates, right?  If he legitimately played poorly in overtime, I would blame him for the last drive.  He didn't.  He made first downs and had his receivers fail him.  The interception ans first half fumble is on him.  Please, though, tell me which elite quarterback put up thirty points in a playoff game and lost?  How many times has that happened to Mahomes, Brady?

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. 

It’s a low percentage play with your season on the line.  It was piss poor play calling! 

[SC STATE NUPE]

Why were our corners exposed so much in one on ones near the end? Nix was just throwing that 💩 up and getting pass interference called! They called that bs on Taron, but Moss’ was worse than that in the end zone in regulation! You dont want the game to end that way, but I didnt want it to end the way it did as well. 

[Bills!Win!]

This is as hopeless as I have felt since EJ Manuel was the QB. 

[BlazinBill]

Mets of the NFL- JA played like ***** and tried to much as the- lack of talent caught up

even on a hell of a throw can’t make a catch- so Nix / stroud / or Maye go before Allen

-UnBillievable

[KingBoots8]

Love you guys.

[Nitro]

The Allen fumble ending the first half was the difference between winning and losing.

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...


 

Yep, and Nix made a perfect pass when it mattered.  Must be nice.

Gene Steratore can blow me.

Every close call he was instantly pro bronco. Wtf

Yes pi on cooks in 4th Q in EZ no call… OT we get 2 ticky calls .. and no catch .. nfl should be embarrassed.. CBS postgame zero discussion of any of it 

[Rich Stadium Original]

Think the game came down to 2 things...other than play calling and officiating..

 

1. You can't have 5 turnovers in a playoff game end expect to win.

 

2. Nix had FORTY SIX pass attemps..not including scrambles...and was sacked ZERO times...quite pathetic..

How much did Beane pay Bosa and Rousseau??...This wasn't even Mahommes...
