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

[The don godfather]

Bass looked like a deer in the headlights after the kick. Hes leaving town. Very sad so much pressure but you get paid the big bucks to make that kick and what separates the great such as the immortal adam vinitieri he was clutch.

You need to prioritize WR this off-season…now in chart form

A few final thoughts:
McDermott is a good coach but I’ve been calling for him earlier in the year to go, he made some gutsy calls today and got the team to the win the division again. He’s safe but the defense couldn’t do anything. Especially the defensive line where we were healthy.

Brady was a great promotion and needs to get the interim tag. Hopefully he doesn’t leave.

Allen is a Super Bowl caliber QB.

Offensive line did well today.

WR were brutal. So many drops. Our best WR has been Khalil Shakir. Davis will be gone. They need to bring in another dynamo and run with New WR, Diggs, and Shakir.

Cook needs to catch hundreds of balls all summer.

Bass needs to go. Was brutal and yips for most of the season. Go and get a consistent kicker.

Defense obviously was super injured this year. Need to stay healthy. Need to be better on defensive line. Safety’s are getting older and less athletic.

Some drops but also make your 44 yard field goal

 

[The don godfather]

The Chiefs scored on 5 out of 6 of their drives and earned 8 yards per play.

You think it's a 50% we stop them moving the ball 30 yards to get into FG range? (And even then, it just goes to OT, where you have a 50/50 chance)

Hey I saw a fumble at a 1 yard line and buffalo got touchback. Anything can happen you need to tie it up to see . Its curtains when you miss such a pivotal kick.

 

[Der Jaeger]

The wide receiver comments are ridiculous.

Mahomes wins with worse wide receivers than Allen.

But sure, let’s go draft a receiver in the first because that’ll cure everything.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Why were they forcing the ball to diggs on that final drive when he couldn't catch that deep ball?

Looks like a Tom Brady passing chart.

 

[The don godfather]

Allen number 1 job at a ending drive to either get them to field goal range if the game is within 3 or get a touchdown. He did his job wonderfully.

That isn't all on our WRs though. Some of it is Brady not scheming WRs open. And don't forget 3 drops of very catchable balls.

 

[Mike McDermott]

I would give anything to get Harbaugh in town.

I say this as a Michigan fan who is extremely happy with what he has done with that program but not. He isn’t what this team needs. Both in scheme and personality.

And for everyone saying to get a new coach, it isn’t going to happen this off season. No way the Pegulas walk away from BB and McD and no way I see them forcing BB to fire McD and he isn’t doing it on his own.

That being said… I’m all in on Detroit now. SF is going to be a hell of a game for them but man do I want to see them in a SB. Both for me as a casual fan of theirs and for so much of my family who follow them religiously.

 

[Waterfowlist]

People blaming Josh Allen for this game… yikes.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Bass better not still be on this team next year.

 

[Der Jaeger]

A lot of it is KC forcing Allen to be patient, something he’s not great at. They gave up the short routes and Allen took them.

They were in cover 2, 4, and 6 all night and took everything deep away.

 

[Husko]

I hope the Bills do a bit of a soft reset this offseason. Let most of the free agents walk. Cut guys (White, Poyer, Hines, Neal, Harty, etc.) where it would open up cap space. Accumulate comp picks. Time to reset with a younger core. This version of the team has taken us where they can go. Too old. Window closed. Time to try something different.


FWIW cutting Bass would add over $3 million to the cap. He's not going anywhere.

 

[Chainshot]

This feels like the scene in "A Bridge Too Far" where everyone is pointing out all of the small things that add up to things falling short.

Injuries on defense, dropped balls, play calls, Shakir getting hurt in the game, then Bass missing... it all is part of yet another loss.

 

[Zman5778]

People blaming Josh Allen for this game… yikes.

He's not blameless. Especially the last bit of the last drive.

That said, he's also WAYYYYY down the list of things to blame for the loss.

 

[Dreakon13]

They played the right game running the ball and making short plays to chew the clock. Keep the seriously injured defense off the field and the ball out of KC's hands.

I don't think we win the game if Bass makes the kick, the only way we win is a first down and a touchdown with no time left, so I wouldn't have necessarily blamed them going for it on 4th... but he's still gotta go. I dunno the stats but he hasn't passed the eye test this year.

 

[Ace]

My favorite part when KC ends our season is remembering that we traded the pick to them.

The Falcons couldn’t have wanted him?

 

[DeletedUser539]

The bills are most likely the second best team these last four years overall. They are just unlucky enough to be good at the same time as the better chiefs. We have our manning, and they absolutely have their Brady.

Hopefully Allen gets a Super Bowl at one point

Yeah the KC chiefs are a great team and after they're retired we'll remember it as seeing the two greatest QBs of this generation going at it

 

[Jage]

The wide receiver comments are ridiculous.

But sure, let’s go draft a receiver in the first because that’ll cure everything.

Thing is, their wr did catch the ball when it mattered. Our #1 was again missing most of the game.

If anything the late season surge should tell us that Diggs is past his prime as #1. Get rid of him for all I care but do NOT keep him as your #1 option.

Every team has injuries and at least 17 was healthy but holy f*** could they not catch a break on defensive injuries. I wonder if Bernard was close and maybe plays if they played Sunday instead of Monday. The only consolation is being sick all week, still feeling like shit today so I don't think the loss has hit anywhere near as bad as it would have had I been healthy and of a clear mind.

Bass was off all year. Maybe he has enough goodwill for another season but the miss wasn't a surprise. Of course KC could have kicked a FG anyways but with the game tied it's a bit less likely that happens than if they were behind.

Stay safe. Go Bills. f***ing Bills

Hence the scheming part. Brady has to do better too.

I'm absolutely ambivalent about him returning....leaning towards wanting to see someone else from outside the club

Football in playoffs are usually close and won with the kickers leg . Kicking is a major component in football. You need solid kickers or your toast .
