I love the honesty of Joe Banner in this clip. There are too many talking heads who think they know but as Jim Mora Sr. pointed out. "You don't know, and you never will".
Bills are so close. They’re really the only team that plays KC tough.
I guess Joe Burrow being the ONLY active QB to beat the Chiefs in the AFCCG doesn’t count?
@@Tilly7731how many years ago?
@@Tilly7731 correct, it is no longer relevant
@@Tilly7731dude beat them in 1 playoff game. Hasn’t beat the chiefs since 2022. He’s nobody
The Bills defensive secondary is pretty bad. If Mark Andrews didn't drop two balls, they would have been eliminated in the previous game. They will never ever beat the Chiefs without getting better DBs
Disagree on the ravens aspect, like I get it...we can talk about maybe it's tied if andrews catches the ball but there's no guarantee ravens see OT even in that scenario. It's ok to put blame on Andrews for his drops but by the same token, it's only right to give the bills some flowers for their job stopping the henry run. They knew that the Ravens had a MUCH worse record whenever Henry didn't have 100 rushing yards in a game, and they committed to holding him under 100 and they were successful. For that undersized defensive front to do that, they had to really go above and beyond and they did. Also gotta give flowers to their LB who peanut punched the ball out of Andrews hands. Should Andrews not have fumbled it? Of course. Was it still a great play by that linebacker? Absofuckinglutely lol. Flawless punch out.
But I do agree on the DBs part. Their secondary is just extremely bad and they've taken a big leap backwards with the loss of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer as their safetieis. Benford is a good corner who's getting better, Taron Johnson is a good nickel but he's 29 years old and aging out fast. The rest of their secondary is mid af to downright awful. The guy Elam is a total bust, and he was a 1st round pick. Rasul Douglas used to be solid but he's regressed as he's hit 30 years old now. A lot of bad play from him this year, holding penalties, dpis, no picks this year when last year he had several... etc. They need another outside corner in the worst way, preferably two in case one of them goes down.
Taylor Rapp is a decent serviceable strong safety, but Hamlin is not a starting safety in this league. Love his story, love that he was able to make it and continue playing football, but he's not at all what you want in a free safety. Not great in coverage. He's undersized, and he's pretty slow honestly. Neither Rapp or Hamlin are ball hawks that are looking for the ball. They get picks when it lands in their lap but they're not out there ball hawking like both Micah Hyde and Poyer used to. Both of those guys had sideline to sideline coverage range, neither of their current safeties do.
They just don't have any gamechangers on that defense. They don't have a Chris Jones or McDuffie, or a Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey or Roquan Smith. They're gonna have to make some moves in free agency or potentially make a splash trade, and they REALLY need to hit on their draft picks this year. And this isn't even getting into their issue where they still very much lack a true vertical threat receiver on that offense. A guy who can stretch the field and keep defenses honest. No team is afraid of their receivers at all. Nobody to gameplan for. And yet they still made it to the AFC title game and were one score away from a super bowl, so obviously they have a lot of ways they can improve.
If refs spot the ball right we be in the super bowl
@@josesginsight2386 Yup. Two successive missed spots in the fourth quarter. Refs absolutely had their thumbs on the scales for KC.
@@josesginsight2386 Or if the Bills called better plays with 3:33 and 3 timeouts left, they win the game. Stop crying about bad officiating. It happens in every game to every team. Have better play calls than QB sneak to the left every freaking time. Even the announcers knew what the Bills where gonna do because the Chiefs knew before hand. That's lazy coaching and play calls by the Bills.
Bills doing better than all the other afc teams, kc, mahomes just blessed. And a wayyyy better coach.
Lol that you actually put him on to give advice 😅
Get a good lead and hold it to win
Bills pass-rush was slightly below average and their cornerbacks and safeties were also not good
Yes they run more now but have the 2nd ranked scoring offense…so it’s not like it’s not leading to points. “Have more points at half time” check to see how often that happens for the Bills. Hint: it’s often.
And my favorite thing deniers do is point to a mistake or some poor play the team that got totally hosed committed. Like it makes the hose job ok or didn’t completely change the game.
When the chiefs are the team that has to overcome the hose job in Q4 in the playoffs I will listen to the “just beat them anyways” talk.
Oh sure, but you don't care about the favorable calls for the Bills against the Ravens. They literally gave the Bills a 4th down stop when replay showed the Ravens got it. Man, I've had it up to here w/ you so called "Bills" fans, whatever that is.
@@OnCorLasagnathere were a bunch of bad calls for the Ravens too, like the totally absurd Dawkins holding call. But ine thing Im glad we all agree on: the officiating in the nfl is HORRIBLE.
the problem is whether you listen or not is irrelevant. The majority isn't listening to you
Interesting the bad calls seem to go one way. Strange. Very strange.
They don’t, you just refuse to see them because they run counter to your narrative. Chiefs had a couple of bad calls against them in the Texans game and the Bills game.
@ ok. You’re right. Chiefs are the best team in the history of football. Don’t look at the penalty differential.
@@BobSacamano226 What team has lead the league over the last 3 seasons in getting a first down by penalty on 33% of their scoring drives?
@@BobSacamano226 its really not strange...its an agenda.
Next year will be tougher to get to the Superbowl for the BILLS, because the Patriots will be better, so will the Texans, so will the Bengals, to bear the Chiefs, the BILLS need to find their Chris Jones in next year's draft to get after elite QBs they will face like Mahomes, Lamar, C.J Stroud and Burrow.
They have to start paying the referees more than the Chiefs do.
Get a lead and win bigger? Well it’s official (pun intended) they now have to win too big to rig. Boycott the SB!!
Well said!!
@@mrt3959 Yes. Watch a rerun of the AFC Championship game instead. You can fuel the outrage machine over and over and over. Or, your team could just win outright.
I’m boycotting the SB!
More aggressive? The Bills were too aggressive in their decision making. Going for 2 point conversions. The two plays everyone points to are the 3rd and 4th down plays. After the third down play was marked short they didn’t ask for a measurement or challenge the spot. They hurried to the line of scrimmage to try to catch the Chiefs off guard and snapped the ball with 30 seconds still on the play clock. They were too aggressive and not thoughtful enough.
League makes too much extra money with swift on tv during Super Bowl.
If you watch the Superbowl then you are putting up with this garbage.
😂 only the best team in the history of the NFL 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody cares if you’re watching the Super Bowl…. With that said, what else are you gonna do watch the view reruns
@@MaRkYWaHoOI suggest they rewatch the AFC Championship Game. 😂
Of course I’m watching because of history.
@@MaRkYWaHoOUA-cam has millions of things to watch that are far better than anything on TV.
bring your own refs
Former NFL Exec Joe Banner’s advice for the Buffalo Bills: Quit crying!
The Bills didn't "run into Reed and Mahommes", ...they ran into THE NFL REFEREES!
How long is everyone going to cry about the refs Buffalo has talent but they don’t have the coach they need if you don’t think KC or the Ravens are not building up for next season your fooling yourself Buffalo just got by the Ravens in the playoffs
That’s weird. I didn’t realize the refs told Josh Allen to slide his protection left
Life long Bills Fan 77. The Refs were just awful we got robbed of at least 4 firstdowns numerous holding calls i can go on and on Go Bills
@@NickRibbeck Sabres No Goal, 2 weeks later: RULE CHANGE!
13 Seconds Game, 2 weeks later: RULE CHANGE!
2025 AFC Championship: ROBBED AGAIN!
We better just feel good about seeing competitive play, after so many years on bottom, ...cause the powers that be ARE NOT going to allow Buffalo to win a championship!
@@NickRibbeck2 of the only Chiefs drives that stalled had blatant missed calls on the Bills(and the announcers even mentioned them, just not with the disappointment they had when calls favored the chiefs) and Hollins stiff armed db on his long TD to create separation, but I don’t see y’all talking about those.
BUFFALO HAS TO PAY THE REFS MORE THEN THE CHIEFS
😂😂😂so dumb
Or you have to find a better story line than Taylor and Travis Swift.

I want what you’re smoking
How about not having to play the bills every fucking year for ratings. If they meet in the playoffs so be it but they play each other in the regular season every year ever since.
Somebody doesn’t understand how the NFL schedule works.
The corruption once again CRUSHED the hearts of die hard Bills fans who have never won a Super Bowl, had the longest streak in NFL history without making the playoffs and haven't been to the Super Bowl in 31 years. Now we finally once again have a Super Bowl caliber team but we apparently cant get back to the big show largely due to officiating corruption. And the Chiefs should not have even been the #1 seed. They won every close game because every critical call goes their way. So the Bills even though we beat KC in the regular season had to settle for 2nd seed, fight their way to the AFC championship including having to take out the Ravens, to then have to once again play the corrupt Chiefs in their hometown, while the Chiefs got a bye, then a relatively easy game and are back at home for the championship with their trained zebras. Its disgusting and absolutely gut wrenching for The Bills and all their fans who deserve better after decades upon decades of heartbreak.
Two consecutive years Josh had the ball in his hands to drive the Bills to a winning TD with minutes to go and...... pooped his pants.
Bills Fan: "Well if it wasn't for those corrupt refs, those last two drives would not have been necessary as they easily would have been up by double digits!"
Funny, never hear ANY complaints about those biased refs from Buffalo fans when they punk the Chiefs in the regular season. Now why is that?
So do you have any actual evidence for this corruption you’re talking about? I’m talking anything past a few calls you didn’t like or the fact that you’re upset that the Bills lost. Do you have any documents or recordings proving collusion? Do you work for the NFL? If it’s so obviously rigged then why can’t anyone come up with any actual evidence? You people are the newest generation of Sasquatch hunters.
The Bills are a great team. They deserve better then having delusional fans cry about refs. Sack up!
@@kevinbreese5739 wow I didn’t think it possible to find someone with this bizarre thinking but I did why do you think some fans or sports commentators say to get rid of McDermott maybe because he is not that good to be in such denial has to be terrible but reality is Buffalo should not even made it to KC I know it is hard to face this but they luckily made it past the Ravens just look at the play stats Buffalo was way off but Buffalo must of had a favorite ref to help them like the ref that went to the sideline to personally talk to Josh during the Broncos game oh well don’t worry about the man behind the curtain or was it just that the pass was dropped I think you know the answer
@paulwarren4775 what a laughable response. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Honestly NFL just killed their product, I’m one of many not going to pay attention to the Super Bowl
Bills needs more massaging from the refs
idiocy LOL at you
Never make a trade with kc…they used that pick for Pat Mahomes….
They used another one from BUF to grab Xavier Worthy.
full context would tell you the bills arent the only team to pass on Mahomes, you just never know and Mahomes and Reid being in KC at the same time is the perfect storm
Josh Allen needs to get divorced then remarry Beyonce to tip the reffing scales back towards the Bills. Swifties Vs The Hive in 2026!!!!
This is why the Bills keep losing. Problem in your logic is Beyoncé’s married. Just like your team, you ignore critical steps in your prep and game plan. Man up. Do better.
He isn't even married yet, lol.
@@dalhimyers1712 guess the bills gotta have 3 hands on the ball when worthy has 2 fingertips for a catch then..... also not a bills fan, just doing my sworn duty to illuminate the truth.
@ ummmmm…. It’s a game with humans officiating as best they can.
Sometimes calls are imperfect. But if you’d can call every game and call perfectly, go work for the NFL. They need you.
In my daily life, I realize that my employees are sometimes amazing and every once in a while they make mistakes. It’s called being human.
I’m agnostic about ref calls (no matter if they negatively impact my team), because I think my team should be good enough for the imperfections of the refs not to be dispositive.
In your example , there was also a declined flag for a Bills penalty. So the net effect is 15 yards. Not nothing. But not everything.
The Bills fumbled four times, and missed several dispositive catches-especially with 3:33 left on the clock and 3 time outs. They lost because they were not good enough.
I watched the whole game. The better team (on that night) won.
@@dalhimyers1712everyone should demand better officiating. Its not acceptable in 2025 with a multi billion dollar league. And the better team doesnt always win a football game, sometimes there is luck or coaching or one great play. See the Ravens Bills game for example (which still had horrible officiating that largely balanced out thankfully) Thats how it should be, not horrible officiating being excused because we think the better team won. It will never be perfect. It can easily, and should, be 5x better than it is.
Buffalo can’t pay the refs more than The NFL
JOSH ALLEN LEAVE BUFFALO ASAP!!!!!!!

Move to the nfc
Chiefs have a better GM, better Coach, better Defense, better players overall, and a better QB in the clutch.
Bills fans can learn a lot by watching how the Chiefs win the Superbowl again.
NFL is rigged
The Bills should have lost that game by 17 points. They were lucky even to be in it.
Chiefs vastly outplayed them on offense, defense and ST. Bills just had historically great fumble recovery luck.
Time of possession and total yards favored the Bills, the referees favored the Chiefs.
Bills suck
