Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[misterchainsaw]

"That f***ing it factor" = all of the f***ing bribery

 

[dortt]

with both teams playing the same way (sitting back, being cautious), makes me wonder if this is coming from higher up than the Beane/Adams level. No way should the Sabres and Bills both play not to lose (which makes them lose)

 

[Intermission]

Would have been worse if it was a tie anyway...

 

[oldgoalie]

God damn it.

Offense had a chance and screwed it up.

Defense had a chance and screwed it up.

Special Teams missed 2 FGs.

This one they absolutely should have had. Even with the bullshit officiating.

Officiating was putrid.

 

[Dirty Dog]

This is your 2023 bills folks.

 

[Ace]

Well Sean….your offense gave you 34 on the road against a 9-1 team…all while your special teams prevented it from being 40.

You should probably fire the D Coordinator.

 

[SabresFan26]

So Buffalo.

Josh can’t win overtime games.

But this is McDermott again.

 

[Husko]

I’ve never been on the fire McDermott train. But the kneel down at the end of the fourth might get be there. Most inexcusable decision of his career. Cowardly. Playing to not lose instead of to win. Not trusting your players. Just disgusting.

 

[paulmm3]

I wish legitimate physical pain and on these officials.

 

[kgboomer]

Of course...

 

[oldgoalie]

They gave Philly 13 points. The eagles should have been trying to climb out of a 30-7 hole.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Refs were putrid. That is all.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Not to let anyone off the hook, but that game should have been totally out of reach for Philly by the time Q4 started if the refs called an even remotely fair game through the first 3.

 

[Ace]

Thank God we didn’t have those timeouts at the end of the half. Would have had to see a safe out for 6 yards to pretend this coach isn’t the biggest f***ing coward in the history of the world. Big game Sean strikes again.

Hey what happened to those timeouts Btw? Something very important I’m sure.

 

[Fezzy126]

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Tough loss.

Strategically, is it worth it in OT to go 4 downs for the endzone? Like kicking the field goal seemed like settling for almost a sure loss. Barring a turnover (like the fumble they didn't recognize).

 

[oldgoalie]

Try and convince me that this league (and the NHL) aren’t rigged.

 

[misterchainsaw]

I'm sorry. That has and always will be a fumble when the Bills are the offensive team. Much like punching the ball out from teh downed reciever is always a completion against us and incomplete for us. On top of the 4-5 other unbelieveably horrendous calls in this game.

They almost just beat the "best team in the league" with teh f***ing officials providing the Eagles multiple scores worth of bullshit.

 

[SabresFan26]

Joe Brady did a good job today too.

Sean is too conservative. Why would you kneel at the end of the fourth? Throw and see if you can kick a FG.

Then every single time they defend on third downs they give them first downs and guard deep endzones. Way too soft coverage which is why for years we get exploited in close games. (In example KC)

That was brutal. How many more times does McDermott have to show everyone that he is a overly conservative loser? The soft coverage on the 3rd and 4 too…. He will never win a championship with his decision making under pressure. He has shown it time and time again.

 

[kirby11]

I’m done with McD

How many times can the defense collapse in end of game scenarios

And burning the timeouts with zero need to instead of saving at least 2 to try and get a FG at the end of the 4th was inexcusable

That being said, **** the officiating for potentially wiping 7 points off the board with the no horse collar/intentional grounding combo

But they also beat themselves (other missed FG, Cook drop, Davis/Allen miscommunication)

Oh well, barring a miracle run the table scenario they’re gonna miss, so it’s kind of nice to check out at this point

 

[Ace]

On top of the usual McCoward malfeasance…he needed to treat a tie like a loss while they were on D. His soft ass give up easy yards bullshit cost them again. Big game Sean.

Agree 100%

 

[Ace]

So Buffalo.

Josh can’t win overtime games.

But this is McDermott again.

He could if his #2 WR knew what the f*** he was doing

I hate the whole “just give them 7-10 yards at a time” crap when they’re up a possession late. If you’re gonna drop back, drop 8 to try and force some tighter windows. Hurts just had easy pitch and catch plays over and over to Smith and Brown the entire way down the field on the tying drive
