Hochuli is all about Hochuli (just like Dad) but him and his crew are the most ticky tack of the various crews. They dont seem to have the wisdom to get out of the way and let them play. A good NFL official (rare breed) has the ability to not throw a flag when the foul doesnt impact the play. But not Hercules Hochuli, every infringement must be punished!

While the D was somewhat better, they were also just as bad or worse in these areas: 1. Holding Maye in the pocket or sacking him when they had the chance. Maye slipped out of heavy pressure at least 7 or 8 times. 2 of these times it looked like intentional grounding but the other few it was either a decent run or a miracle completion. 2. Coverage on the Pats recievers (esp Diggs DUH). Diggs was open over and over again and when the Bills dbs did arrive they didnt separate him from the ball. 3. The last drive was horrendous. Diggs play was a fluke but his YAC was significant and then they gave up that huge pass play down the sideline to get them into FG range. Just not good enough, even with the backups playing for the injured.

How did it take until the 4th Q for Babich to employ this strategy? Is he too scared to make a defensive adjustment without McD? or too dumb? Maye was breaking the pocket and rolling right with success all night. He also ran right up the middle at least 3 times. Why was there no Spy or another man on the Bills left side to cover and keep him in the pocket so maybe, just maybe one of our slow as molasses Dline could actually get to him before he released the ball. Just amateur hour coaching!

What pisses me off is that the Bills let Diggs do that to them. How many times when Diggs played for us did you see him get hammered by opposing DBs and Lbs who hated his attitude and disrespect. Tonight the Bills barely caressed him.

For the past 4 weeks, there have been several posts on here where people have been shouted down for expressing concerns or criticisms for what this team quite obviously lacks. All we have heard is but they are 4-0, just relax . Well sorry the defense is terrible, it lacks play makers and ball hawks, it pressures with no or few sacks, the dbs cannot cover receivers to save their lives and the zone schemes are so soft that a high school QB could hit the receivers. Once again we made a young QB look poised and veteran with his passes and ad libbing. It appears that Babich running McD's vanilla defense does absolutely nothing to confuse opposing Qbs with defensive schemes or formations. On offense we cant throw a deep ball to save ourselves and just when we are getting some momentum running, Brady decides a low percentage play would be just the ticket . Once again tonight we were blitzed silly by an opposing defense. We should have been drawing them in with repeated bubble screens like we did with Hawes the last game and burning them repeatedly but Brady makes no adjustment for that. Josh got beat up tonight because of all the pressure and hits that he took and that is completely on Brady not countering the blitzing. In addition to both units performing poorly the amount of penalties from a supposedly disciplined team was completely unacceptable. I get that many were ticky tack from Mr Universe Shawn Hochuli and Co but the sloppiness was ridiculous. 2 illegal formation penalties? How does that happen even once? Just bad coaching and preparation.

Of course you can if you hope for PI. Not passing to the endzone but at least to their 30. At least attempt it. Better than that play to nowhere. Might has well have kneeled down.

I agree. It was a nice idea but he is not only slow but has lost all his coverage instincts. But what is the most ironic thing? He was made to look silly by another guy who tore up his leg in Diggs.

Brady ends the game with a superb playcall. No better not Hail Mary it and hope for PI.

No

Put up your hand if this is the high stress ending (The pats getting the ball back) that you really really didnt want!

Finally somewhat smart defense on that 3rd down (with a little help on the false start call which was questionable).

The Defense needs to finally step up here and get a turnover. Please no more of the Bills Dline grasping at air as Maye throws another lucky pass to Diggs.

Ah the familiar DBAG Vrabel face!!

Vrabel made the Bills his b*tch as a player and has done us in a few times as a coach. It doesnt help that we have played the dumbest game of the season on Offense and defense.

The Bills arent just getting outplayed. They are getting embarrassed. Nobody even touched that Pats player on the TD.

Can someone please explain the concept of zone defense with guys 5-10 yards yards open?

White is slow I get that after his injuries and age but he seems to have really lost his technique at pass defending. Its mystifying how ordinary he is on coverage most of the time.

I was hoping for the Jeff Tuel pick six on Maye on that last play. but not to be.

Forget Josh Allen, Drake Maye or the Diggs drama. Forget the White out or Sunday night football hype. This is the Shawn Hochuli show.

Wow Bernard with the idiot play of the game so far.

Perfect time to do a screen pass on that 3rd down and drawn in the rushers but as the Bills have done that only 2-3 times under Brady they went for safe hold the ball and get sacked play.

Sloppiest game in a long time.

Brady tried a trick play thats good I guess but the rest of the playcalls have been stupid.

Just watched the Dolphins highlights, another terrible loss. But I had to replay the 2nd Miami TD by Darren Waller to observe the worst attempt at cornerback pass coverage I have ever seen by Jaycee Horn of the Panthers. It is absolutely hilarious. Couldn't find a slow mo replay to do it but its reminiscent of high school gym class flag football.

They were close but not quite that level of complete stupidity.
