Josh Allen, Bills players defend Dalton Kincaid amid backlash
‘”I got to be better for him. I didn’t feel like I put him in enough good situations this year, ball-placement-wise,” Allen said. “… He can sit there and think about that play over and over, but I got to be better for him. That’s what it comes down to, and get him more involved. I know he’s been battling throughout the entire year, bumps and bruises and probably games that he shouldn’t have played he was in, but he’s a tough sucker, and I got nothing but love for him, how he’s approached this year. He’s going to be so much better next year. Let his body heal up, and I’m going to be better, better for him, and I can promise you that.”‘
What Bills are lacking to overtake Chiefs in AFC: Two areas on roster Buffalo needs to address in offseason
‘Coleman and Kincaid combined for three catches and 25 yards in the AFC Championship. That can’t happen. And this wasn’t a one-off down performance from those two. Coleman and Kincaid were both injured around the time same, for a similar duration in the middle of the season. After Kincaid’s return, in six outings — including the playoffs — he had 16 receptions for 163 yards and went over 50 yards in a single game once.’
Fire Sean McDermott? Bills reeling after latest Chiefs loss but only a fool would bring that hot take to table
‘That’s four playoff losses for Allen and the Bills to Mahomes and the Chiefs. They’ve all been close losses, but they’re still all losses. Before this season’s epic matchup, the narrative was already built. It’s only going to get louder. And you’re going to hear a lot of people questioning whether Allen can win the big one, and — even worse — plenty of sports shriekers talking about Buffalo needing to move on from McDermott.’
Josh Allen Delivered Emotional Message to Bills Mafia After Chiefs Loss
‘”It just shows why Bills Mafia is the best fanbase in the world,” Allen said. “Even through all the hurt and disappointment they’ve had to endure, really for the entirety of the existence of the Buffalo Bills, we’re going to continue to turn every stone over and cross the Ts and dot the Is and do whatever we can to try to bring a Lombardi back here to Western New York.”‘

Bills' Dalton Kincaid Opens Up About Brutal Dropped Pass on Final Play vs. Chiefs
‘“Josh got the ball off. He was pressured, and it was hanging up there and I just wasn’t able to catch it,” Kincaid said, via Syracuse.com’s Matt Parrino. “Right now it obviously hurts a lot, and it’s going to linger for a while, but eventually you’ve got to move on. And hopefully you grow from this, and I believe that will be the case, but for the time being, it’s going to hurt a lot.”’
Josh Allen Confidently Backs Sean McDermott After Bills Fall Short in Playoffs Once Again
‘“I’m just so proud of coach,” Allen also told the media. “I don’t know why he’s not recognized more in the award stuff… Time in and time out he’s got us in position… we’re fighting to get over that hump and he gives his life to this… he is so committed to doing whatever it takes. And to see him adapt and really grow as a coach has been fun to watch… He has let players be them and given us the keys… it’s not easy to do that… I respect the hell out of coach.”’

Chiefs remain an unsolvable roadblock for Bills
‘So, to get to the AFC Championship Game, to be leading it on the road after three quarters, to be down three with 3:33 to play and the ball on their own 30-yard line? Well, there’s no shame in that. But teams don’t play to expectations set for a single season. There’s always a larger story and a broader context. That’s why Sunday night’s 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs earned its place high on the list of heartbreaking Buffalo defeats.’
Bills offensive lineman reveals secret to Chiefs' decisive game-sealing blitz
‘”[Steve Spagnuolo] hides it pretty well,” Torrence said. “So it’s hard to pinpoint one specific area to get better at because the d-line is moving, the linebackers are communicating, the safeties are coming, the cornerback is blitzing. So they’re all moving around. It’s not like you just pinpoint one specific area and try to hold up…”‘
James Cook stats: Why Bills regret not giving RB a snap on failed final drive vs. Chiefs
‘One of the more head-scratching decisions was that when the Bills got the ball back with 3:33 left in the game to try to win it, Cook was nowhere to be found. Even if the first play wasn’t designed for him, the running back didn’t take the field the entire final drive.’
Josh Allen, Sean McDermott sidestep officiating questions, defend Bills' failed 4th down call: 'They played it well'
‘In a post-game press conference that sounded more like a funeral, Allen kept his response terse despite the play firing up social media. The call on the field was that Allen was short, and the Bills didn’t stand much of a chance of seeing the decision overturned with the view so obscured by the number of players involved.’
Chiefs-Bills 4th down stop, explained: Why refs marked Josh Allen's QB sneak short on controversial 4th quarter play
‘The Bills were driving down the field in hopes of potentially extending their lead to two possessions and moving within a step of the Super Bowl. Instead, Buffalo’s “tush push” play on 4th-and-1 ended in a rare turnover on downs to give the ball right back to the Chiefs.’
Jon Gruden did not have kind words for Sean McDermott after Bills loss in AFC Championship Game
‘One of Gruden’s main criticisms centered on McDermott’s aggressive play-calling, particularly the repeated attempts at two-point conversions. The Bills failed to convert twice, leaving crucial points off the board. Gruden questioned the necessity of these calls, suggesting that opting for extra points might have altered the game’s outcome.’
