i don't care if Bills run it up. frankly, i would do the same.
i can't stand the Bills or their fans. i loved it when Brian Cox went at them.
must suck to be a Bills fan: lose four SB in a row. hahahahah.

The taunting and cowardly screaming is what was classless but I don't see what's terrible about trying to score outside of how you're needlessly risking your starters. I would be rock hard if we ran the score up on the Bills
East coast rednecks. Buffalo is the West Virginia of New York with more Italian restaurants.

i hate to say it, but it makes me feel just a little bit better

Upstate New York. Most dismal place in the United States.
I have plenty of friends that are Bills fans but I tell them they are basically Cleveland with better wings.

As an Australia, the whole American-sport thing where they don't attack when the game is over is weird! We don't run down the clock in our football codes.
If Allen got seriously injured on an unnecessary play, I would absolutely blame the coaches. That play was not unnecessary, so no, I absolutely would not.
Again, the difference between 16 points and 17 points is potentially really big, a two-score game vs. a three-score game. Yeah, the odds are that it wouldn't have been an issue, but this stuff happens. You are talking to a fan of a team that suffered from the Hail Murray last year to lose a game. Bizarre stuff happens. Not often, but it absolutely does.
As for Shula not running up the score, dude, please. He loved to run up the score.
You guys tend to remember him with a halo (as I would in your place, I'm sure) but he had no problem humiliating teams that let it happen. A few examples:
9/10/78 Fins over Colts 42-0, with 14 points scored in the 4th quarter
9/24/77 Fins over Cardinals 55-14
10/19/75 Fins over Jets 43-0, with their last TD, the one getting the score to 40-0 late in the 3rd quarter coming on a 32 yard pass
11/2/75 Fins over Bears 46-13, 14 points scored in the 4th on a 58 yard pass and a 29 yard pass
11/3/74 Fins over Falcon 42-7
19/7/73 Fins over Jets 31-3
11/11/73 Fins over Colts 44-0
12/15/73 Fins over Lions 34-7
Shula had absolutely zero problem with grinding his bootheel into an opponent's face. Nor should he have. Unfortunately, the Bills were under that heel a time or two. Stop kidding yourself he was Little Orphan Annie.

I suppose it is possible that there's something more there. I doubt it, but it's certainly possible.
IMO it's more likely that regularly being beaten pisses grown prideful men off. Again, I remember going oh-for-the-'70s against you guys, and you could have been the politest sweetest most sportsmanlike fellows on earth and we would still have hated your guts like poison at that point.
Actually, it's gorgeous. Cold in the winter but as a skier, I loved it there.
On the other hand, last time I visited Florida for a conference, I spent the whole trip there in the airport Marriott, eating at the airport restaurants. I still remember walking through the lobby in my swimsuit going to the pool. I opened the door, took two steps outside and felt like the air had been replaced by a hot mattress, like I'd be breathing water. Turned right around and walked back in and stayed in the air conditioning the whole six days. Summer in Florida is about as inviting as Devil's Island.
Loved my October trip to the Keys a few decades ago, but I wouldn't live in Florida year-round for less than six figures.
To each their own, I guess, but upstate New York is beautiful.

It is really nice there, I've camped there about a 100 times, they have some of the nicest state parks around. The towns can be a little sketchy but over-all I like upstate NY
In the grand scheme of things, we really shouldn't give a rat's ass. We got way more important things to worry about as an organization regarding our performance on the field (Or lack there of) and other similar things,then what the dumbass Bills do.
Did you have a bet on the game with a handicap and that last TD blew your bet?
