And with Kansas City in the role previously played to perfection by Washington, Dallas and San Francisco.
But he’s 0-4 in the playoffs against them.
No data point could sum up this era of football in Buffalo better.
The bad calls that always broke Kansas City’s way, to be sure.
But much more significant is the fact Buffalo had their opportunity.
They had every chance to get up off the autopsy table and change the narrative.
To write their own history.
They were 1st & 10 from their own 30.
With 3:33 left and all their time outs.
And they ran six plays for 17 yards, on a drive that lasted 1:39.
That’s their legacy.
you’re able to blame the refs.
Complain that the Chiefs get every break.
Bellyache about how unfair it all is.
As Dwight Shrute put it:
True winners come up big in big moments.
He completed three passes for 56 yards and a rushing touchdown gave his team the lead with 0:39 left.
Under Allen’s leadership, the Bills managed 12% as many yards and scored 0% the points.
Only to find out the hard way that their real enemy is themselves.
And he did it twice.
And so I find myself repeating this for the third consecutive January.
1 contenders where when Joe Louis was the champ.
In the 1950s, it was the Brooklyn Dodgers losing World Series to the Yankees.
In the ’60s, the Lakers to the Celtics, and so on.
So once again, it’s Rest in Peace, Bills Dynasty.
See you again next January for yet another funeral.
