Not a whole lot will make the Buffalo Bills or their fans feel better about what happened on Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's yet another year of falling short and even worse, another playoff defeat to Patrick Mahomes and friends. After a full season of seeing the Chiefs look vulnerable offensively speaking, they looked their very best at Highmark Stadium, picking up explosive play after explosive play.

Meanwhile, the Bills moved the ball but yet did nothing explosive to make the difference, as Allen pointed out moments after the game. The whole thing was made even worse with a "Wide Right" throwback that kept the Bills from having another shot at winning in overtime. 

But even though nothing will be enough consolation, there are still some important and good news to talk about: Josh Allen seems to be on track to avoid offseason surgery.

 “At the moment, yes," Allen told reporters via Matthew Bové from WKBW when asked if shoulder surgery was off the table. 

That's no small update as it lays the groundwork for what should be a strong offseason. As much as it pains Bills Mafia to be thinking about next year already, that doesn't change the nature of this news.

Take it from the Bills quarterback himself, who went into detail about why it's a big deal to avoid surgery.

"If you talk to any thrower, pitching or quarterback, anytime you feel pain in your throwing shoulder, or your elbow,  or your hand, it's never a good thing" Allen explained via Nick Veronica from News 4 Buffalo. "It's never comforting. It can tweak sometimes how you deliver the ball and throughout the season that's kind of a mental gymnastics that sometimes you have to take, too."

It sucks that the good news is a consolation prize but it's still a positive update from the Bills quarterback. On to 2024.
