There would be some irony if BB ended his career in Buffalo, chasing a ring, older than Marv Levy

I doubt they fire Hardo, but they no doubt should fire him. Just like McCarthy
I’m not sure Allen even saw Diggs. And then he didn’t see underneath on 3rd down either. Total choke in the biggest moment.
No. But Reid did complain quite a bit about the flag on Dee Ford, despite him being offside by half a body length.
Why? He's fun to watch. And in order to even have a shot at Brady he'd need what Brady had, which is essentially a second hall of fame career added to his first one.
I don't think you can blame that one on Hardo, and I despise the guy. Between two very good teams, it's execution.
He doink'd the right upright and came close to hitting it a second time and Buffalo ended up on the right hash for the FG attempt.
I'm just telling Hardo goodbye for the playoffs, I don't think the Bills management is smart enough to fire him.
Of note, if Bass makes that kick Pat Mahomes has the ball with about 1:50 and 2 time outs needing to get the Chiefs into FG range, granted, with bad wind. That clock management was kind of ass by the Bills. Had they saved more time they could have gotten the ball back, had another crack at the tie, or kicked 2 FGs to win.
Yeah, this. The shot at the end zone made no sense there. Needed to grind out some more clock first.
I want BAL to win next week because I enjoy watching Lamar Jackson play football, one of the most fun players in the league to watch with no rooting interest.
BB hates QBs who turn the ball over. I don’t think he’s up for the Josh Allen experience.
McDermott is an asshole. Agree on that.
I got a nephew through a marriage who works in corporate sales for the Ravens. That's my excuse for next week.
Even the 3rd and 9 play. You'd think they would have leaned harder into a checkdown / crossing route that would leave the clock running and shorten the FG even with no 1st down.
I think Allen thought he'd get the edge if he rolled out, but the Chiefs DE stayed with him
It is amazing what four World Series titles since 2004 can help us forget. The 86 years prior to 10/27/04 were far more painful. The 1918 chants...well, no need to list the decades of painful endings for the Red Sox. The Bills have had it bad, but not nearly as bad as the pre-04 Sox fans.
That's a tough one next week. Chiefs or Ravens? Looks like I'll
be rooting for the NFC in the Superbowl.

Other than the bad 5 yard PI call, what calls did they get tonight? That was the only one I remember.
This just proves the immutable law of nature; if you are a place kicker and you wear one eye-black you're one of the wackest human beings walking planet earth.
Fair enough. I think he's great. Phenomenal player and seems like a decent guy.
It’s pretty easy, actually. Root for Lamar next week and NFC, likely SF, in SB. Win win.
Random, but I really don’t watch TV outside of NFL games. Why is, seemingly, like 25% of all commercials pharmaceutical commercials? I remember it always used to be like that on the news networks, but seeing it so much during NFL games tells me either the marketing for pharmaceuticals has gotten out of control or Americans are in even worse health than anyone could have ever imagined.
Edit: on second thought, it’s probably both.

I guess that my excuse for next week is that I'm on a message board with a guy who has a nephew through a marriage who works in corporate sales for the Ravens.
I’ll try and imagine how happy a rat bird win would make Bunk, Lester, Kima, Slim Charles, Jimmy, etc.
The population is aging, and nobody wants to die, and even being uncomfortable sucks. We'll do anything for magic cures
In order of what I want most to least:
1. Detroit - easiest team to root for here by a mile
2. San Fran - don't want them to get 6 but oh well
3. Baltimore - yuck, but better than #4
4. Kansas City - Brady's legacy trumps it all
Losing 4 SBs in a row is very arguably more painful than what Sox fans went through during any stretch. Over multiple generations, sure.
friend of mine theorizes that it’s not about the effectiveness of the ads. It’s about buying influence with the media
definitely a little tin hatty kind of view but it’s true there isn’t much bad press about the pharma space (that I’ve seen anyway)
My first heartbreak was in 1975 so I get what you are saying. But the Bills have lost a lot of very big games in so many crushing ways. I think their fans (I know a few)would argue that their trauma is as bad as anyone else's if not worse. I'm in no position to argue otherwise as nobody can truly understand another's pain
Allen saying he didn't get enough on the throw on 2nd & 9.
It's just coaching malpractice to come out of the two-minute warning looking to score within 5 seconds. With that defesne against Mahomes, you have to play it slower. But sure let's focus on the play instead of the playcall.
It's the same thing with Diggs deep ball - Diggs did drop it, but what about the playcall? Why were they trying to score so fast?

cold night, strong winds, not a gimme. one of my pet peeves is that since many stadiums have perfect conditions every game, fans have been conditioned to think that FGs are automatic, punts are easy to track and catch, etc.
They didn't need one, they weren't behind yet. But you could argue the roughing calls the Bills didn't get that mahomes probably would have.
I’m an Allen defender - they put so much on his shoulders - but he had diggs wide open on that crosser. That was the game, I think
I think I want Balt more than SF - Lamar Jackson winning it all would outweigh how annoying they were a decade ago by a mile for me.
Hot take perhaps, but if KC loses I see only likable teams left. Other than Detroit I did kinda want Buffalo to win it all, though.
