Time To Pay The Bills

[Flight24]

ohhhhh tough matchup, cant wait.

[Vinsane]

Looking at the final standings, the AFC is stacked. AFC South is amazing with those records. Doesn't help that the Patriots are drowning without Brady. AFC East is WEAK. To win the division and be in the wild card round? That's tough.

My prediction, you lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bills Looking For Answers After Another Postseason Collapse



A Marshawn Lynch run and Paul Posluszny interception return put the Bills up 14-0 less than 5 minutes into the Bills/Texans wild card round matchup this Sunday.

But in the end, it was the Texans celebrating after advancing to the divisional round while the Bills, for the 3rd consecutive season, exit stage right from the playoffs without a win.

"It was a fluke. The Bills had Tarvaris Jackson at QB!"

Yep, that's posted all over sports message boards across the nation.

"I didn't do the things I needed to, and personally, I didn't take care of the ball like I needed to," Jackson said in a post game press conference.. "It really hurt us in the end."

Bills defensive lineman Aaron Maybin broke down into tears in the middle of taking questions, proclaiming this loss as the "toughest he has ever endured".

"We wanted to relish the victory, to disprove those who haven't believed in this team."

"I wanted to shut everybody up who doesn't think we are a great football team. We had our opportunity. We wanted to win, we needed a win, we had a win. We let it go and it is tough."

"Don't get me wrong. There is a lot to be happy about this season. We had a good season but we can't lose like this, we can't lose these games. This is hard because I know how hard these guys worked. I know how hard I worked. It is just hard to lose like this."

Bills Head Coach Lovie Smith only had this to say to reporters in a post-game interview.

"Losses like this can send a team reeling. I won't have it. It's time to pull up the socks and put on the hard hat. It's time to go back to work and get it done."

Another first round loss? that must be frustrating.
