And Like That....The Buffalo Bills Season Is Over
![2 Months Later....png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jongolson/48DqL66cxkqBygYEa1RdppPXNiLtCHm699rAt527mdkHa79KiJWwVvNWh1y52Qwge9.png)



It started with so much promise....

And to be honest, I didn't like it.  I didn't like the hype, I didn't want to be 'off season Super Bowl' champs. I knew, the season was long and the competition is always tough.

The season on paper, looked like a big win right?  We ended up going 13-3 in the regular season.  We won a playoff game.  Won the AFC East.  Everything looked great!

However, this season seemed cursed from the beginning.  From the death of Luke Knox (Dawson Knox's younger brother), to the snowfalls that made Detroit home field for a few weeks...To of course, Damar Hamlin.  The Bills seemed to be fighting demons each and every week.

And beyond that, when we won, it wasn't in convincing fashion like week's 1 and 2, it was nail biters.  Way too close for comfort endings.

And then today happened and we go absolutely humbled by the Cincinnati Bengals. It really wasn't even close.  And thus begins a very painful and long off season for Bills Mafia!

What do we do?

What needs to change?

Who is to blame?

Here's my armchair quarterback opinion around an hour after the season ended.

**Coaching!**

First, we have to get better coaching from the defense and offense.  I believe both coordinator positions should be seriously considered as priority this off season.

There's no excuse for the awful game plans that have been drawn up for YEARS of defense in our biggest games of the year.  And the offense this year was way too Josh Allen centric.

Which brings me too...

**Better playmakers!**

I know Stefon Diggs had a little tantrum on the side line during the game, but the dude is our only real threat.  And we are never giving him the ball.

That being said, we need a true #2 wide receiver.  We need a TRUE stud running back, or at least a coordinator that uses James Cook and his abilities.

**Upgrade the o-Line**

And if we want Josh to be our quarter back in 5 years from now and not in a coma every month...We have to give him time in the pocket.  It's obvious, when Josh has time he's elite.  But when he's rushed, 'Sugar High' Josh shows up.  Which leads to dumb decisions.

And I'm sure I can find another 10 things I'd like to see improved but that is the NFL off season right?  We always have our wish lists, and have to trust management to do what they feel is best.

But my goodness, we are so close to glory!  But tonight, I can't help but think that we're further away from the promised land than we were this time last year.

This lost really hurt.  And was a huge wake up call that all is not well in Bills land.  

Oh and for the love of everything that's good....Build a damn dome stadium!!!!!

Go Bills...Forever and ever!

I really thought they had the edge going into that game.  The weather conditions and everything should have really been in their favor.  It was definitely their game to lose, but Cincy has been looking really good the past couple of years.  I was cheering for the Bills though.

Yeah that narrative that Buffalo is built for the elements is bogus in my opinion. I get that it’s football weather but our players obviously don’t like snow lol.

There was a second there when I thought they were going to come back and pull ahead.  I actually stopped watching around halftime so my wife and I could watch some stuff together.

I'm from Europe (Croatia) but I'm mad about NFL. Last 2 seasons Bills were one of my fav teams, and this last game vs. Bengals was probably their worst game I watched. Run game was non existing to say the least. 
And I agree, last year they were closer to winning then this year. It was over in the first half, imho.

Josh is the most exciting QB to watch in the whole league. I hope he stays healthy and they give him someone to play with (with exception of the miracle man Diggs)

They had a good run that’s for sure!!  Now the classic matchup Cowboys and 49ers… I’m thinking the rookie may pull this one out. If the cowboys kicker keeps missing extra points… who knows. LOL

This loss was tough to swallow. It's clear that changes need to be made on the coaching front and in terms of acquiring better playmakers. The offensive line also needs to be improved if we want to see Josh Allen succeed in the long term. Let's hope management makes the right moves in the off-season. Go Bills!
