2025 Buffalo Bills

[egp320i]

The bills had ten points scored on them in the last 22 seconds of the first half. 4 turnovers. Referees came under questions again.

I was not aware they were even playing but 4? yeah that's going to come back to bit you
refs are always a factor, they are human but if they call it wrong there should be a review so they got it right

I am sorry I got this prediction completely wrong. I am devastated. I truly thought the Bills would go all the way. unfortunately, I think this 2025 season was the last chance for the Bills to make it back to the Super Bowl. the window has shut, I believe. I am very sorry Bills fans.

They'll have to do it w/ another 2nd Half comeback down 10-20 to the Broncos! Today's players & coaches are such idiots! Anyone else would have just sat on that ball w/ 22 sec. left in the Half! I guess Allen was thinking, "if Mahomes can score on me w/ :13, I certainly can do something w/ a few more secs. on the clock!" He fumbles giving away a FG for free at Half-Time w/ :02!

I am sorry Fiero425. I was dead wrong about the Bills.

If a shitty team like the Bears can win in the playoffs so can the Bills.

Obviously not as The Bills are gone! The Bears are set to play a Calif. team on a frozen field later today! After that GB miracle, must be fate to go along w/ so many last minute wins!

James Cook's fumble was huge potentially a 14 point turnaround. He's a great runner but gets too loose with the ball and has had several bad fumbles this year. I'm ever the optimist and believe they have a real shot next year if they can stay healthy. But that might be the last shot for this group.

To me that was a huge officiating mistake despite the post game jibber jsbber excuses
The Buffalo receiver was on the ground with the ball clutched to his chest and the defender rolled over him, and grabbed the ball. That’s down by contact any day of the week

They say (today's explanations) he never established possession. And the ball was live as the ball had never touched the ground.

Tough ending for BUFF as with the hot kicker .... that would have 95% sure been the end 33-30 BUFF.

I agree. It was not simultaneous possession, the receiver had the ball solidly after ground impact.

The benefit of the doubt has to go to the Bills receiver. He had full possession of the ball and the Broncos DB did not until he rolled over and his angular momentum got the ball away. Should have been ruled a catch and down by contact and then reviewed.

You need a coaching change. As long as Josh is in his prime the window is open.

BUFF is 8-8 or now 8-9 in playoffs with 6 or 7 losses to KC & Mahomes and one to red hot Joe Burrow during / in their primes.

McDermott had them in a spot to win yesterday. Who could do better than him?

You'd better have a better coach all lined up before you pull the trigger on that one. And there aren't a lot of proven ones out there.
I'd consider Kevin Stefanski, maybe Mike McCarthy but after that the pickings are thin for proven head coaches.

The window is closing on this group. A couching change now would be super risky. IMO they should focus on getting a deep threat receiver.

Exactly.
The front office needs to do a better job of getting Allen some more help.

Stephanski signed with tne Falcons. There is never a shortage of coaches. The Bills need an offensive minded coach. They can keep running back but I’m not sure why they would expect a different outcome.

You mean like Diggs? Or Shakir?

Shakir is a slot receiver, not a deep threat

Shakir can 100% stretch the field. The Bills can stretch the field that's not been their problem.

Stefanski was what 3-14 the last two years winning some of the last few games when nobody cares?

Big McCarthy was down by over 30 points in a home playoff game to GB?

Mac stands there doing the same thing over and over every year for decades? How would those be better? Stafanski may not have decades yet? But CLEVE played not to lose?

McDermott didn't call plays to lay two balls on the ground at the end of the first half giving up 6 points. Its a long plane ride home. A winnable game got away.

He had the best team overall in the AFC this year hands down. Not as good as NFC SEA or LA Rams perhaps? But gosh dang, what do you want him to do? Open it up more? Fake a punt?
