What a game. Almost incredible really. The Bills fail to score a touchdown despite twicing ion the same drive having a first down inside the 12 yard line. They failed to take away the ball (dropping at least 2 INTs) despite playing perhaps the worst QB to ever start a playoff game. The Bills failed to win.
Granted the Bills weren't supposed to be in this spot and werent supposed to win (the spread was 8.5). Tiny Tyrod Taylor is no steller QB. The coach Sean "dougy" McDermott is no tactical wizard. Lesean McCoy was hurt. The Jags have about as stacked a defense as a team can have.
And yet.. the Bills probably should have won.
The holding on the long Shady catch was a killer. The offensive PI on Benjamin was a killer. That play call was a killer. Im still waiting for a clear fucking shot of Charles Clay stepping out of bounds because I never saw one.
What one player on defense could the Bills (probably) least afford to lose? They 2nd team all pro safety Micah Hyde? Who dropped one of the interceptions? Oh yeah his replacement, Colt Anderson. Oof.
It was a confluence of factors that caused the Bills to lose this game. Obviously the offense was horrible and Tyrod was worse than normal. But damn, this team couldnt get one damn break Sunday. Maybe they cashed em all in with the Dalton pass last week. Damn.
Oh wait theres more. Tyrod got hurt while driving on the last possesion of the damn game too. True he isnt good but we all know Nick Peterson the pizza delivery boy back up is significantly worse. And of course he throws an INT almost immediately. AND took an intentional grounding call. AND the INT was even controversial. I think it hit the ground but it didnt much matter. Ramsey made a damn play on a bad pass that would have been just has bad if the WR even caught it for the 6 or 7 yards it was going for.
So the season ends in dissapointment. But at least the 17 drought hanging around our necks is dead. Where does the squad go from here? Who the hell knows.
They need a new OC two new quarterbacks and a lot of new players at a lot of different positions. Dont use 3 high picks on one ok QB please.
Its gonna be a crazy draft and a long offseason. The honeymoon has been extended for Mcderrr tho.
