Billsfan1972

The defense has played great, but let's not overlook that Baltimore drove 93 yards their last possession. Great goal line stand.

Absolutely right. Without Allen who knows where this team would be. # never forget 48 games no 300 yard passing game (every team in this era does it a minimum 1X/yr). Now I have too said McD has grown on me, however he is not perfect and his mistakes (or teams, sometime hard to differentiate) too have been colossal. Yesterday Harbaugh made the right call on 4th down and Jackson didn't see a wide open receiver (busted Bills coverage?). Buffalo showed that to be the case as they walked down the field quite easily (as they did most of the second half).

Vs. The Dolphins, yes the Bills stalled at the one, but they got the ball back and easily should have got into FG position. They did not and that seems to be not discussed enough. As well as the defence has played unless awful weather, I want the ball in Allen's hand to decide the game. They failed vs. Miami and really had plenty of time and seemed to lack some urgency (yes 90 degrees out there). Baltimore was right by stats and analytics to go for it Sunday, however the int and starting at the 20 was important, but little was made about the pass to Knox on 3rd & 2. Once that pass was completed I was pretty much convinced the Bills would win.

A loss, though only week 4, regardless of the circumstances in all likelihood would have been a determining factor come the end of the season if they are in fact 1-2. Again way too early to discuss, but just stating from what I saw and heard during the week, which frankly surprised me.

And if Baltimore won, regardless of the stats, Lamar would have been the talk as this was head to head. So yes it was an important win for the Bills (as 2-2 with KC in two weeks) was huge.

Even the kicker and special teams coach this time?

Hooray.... Bills had good execution down the stretch. Doesn't change issues in the past, but yes good job "TODAY".

Weather was terrible.... Allen did not have his best game, but made some incredible plays. The pass to Knox and Diggs were great. Lamar extended plays and made easy completions. Yes a little biased, but that is what I see.

Neither great, but saw all of Lamar's warts. Lamar is a great quarterback but there are deficiencies

I wasn't being negative on Lamar, though not his biggest fan. I just thought the videos didn't even acknowledge Josh.

Again it was how one sided the analysis was that made me see red. I still see the same issues with Lamar, while Allen has addressed many of his. Again usually these panels have a little back and forth, but was blatantly one sided. Through 3 games the Bills I think have punted 3 times with Allen playing (conversely Baltimore 11X's). For arguments sake, ff McKenzie goes down and Bass makes a 62 yarded, would that have changed the narrative?

Sunday will be interesting as I can see a full 60 minutes. Highlight packages to date show just that, the best plays and often they have seemed pretty much wide open easy completions. For instance I will point out Diggs two big catches and that Allen eluded rushes and threw dimes 60 yards in the air each time (and there was coverage).

I still think Josh has done more. Threw for 400 yards vs. Miami and somehow took a step back. With Lamar, the one thing we see in the highlights and again probably not fair, is just how open receivers are. Compare this to how many precise throws Allen has made on the run and to much tighter windows.

Just posting something I read and yes there is victimhood when it comes to Josh Allen. And isn't there a mvp thread elsewhere here? I just thought how quickly the narrative changed was a little bit surprising. I don't worry at all about the mvp just about Josh Allen being the best player in the league. And yes watching these makes Sunday's game just a little more "personal".

How did all three choose Lamar though? Usually it's supposed to be a debate with one taking the other side. Here was unanimous?

Know this is a day or two old, but makes me see red http://www.espn.com/video/clip/clip?id=34683404 https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/34690041 Maybe I'm unfair when talking about Lamar and see Josh Allen with Rose Coloured Glasses, but to me right now it isn't close as to which QB I'd want.

But to be in the redzone and continually foiled in late game situations has to be addressed. And the last time we won a game inside the 10, was on the PI/Holding call (correct) vs. the Rams, which was a Tom Brady(esque) call.....😉

Oops my bad...... Yes everything that could go wrong, did go wrong Sunday.... One of those games, but yes the randomness and the fact it has happened over and over to the Bills the past 2.5 years is hard to comprehend. One other thing to note is that in many of these close losses the Bills have lost games when inside the 10 yard line and not able to score. This to me appears a coaching/play calling issue (can say the same about the Chargers and they fired their coach probably for that reason).

So it's the players fault? Sorry 13 seconds is 100% on the coaching schemes and calls (from kickoff to the two passes, where there was no defence to even make a play).

Definitely would have gotten a play off he just went down at the 43-44 yard line and at least have had a shot to win. With humid weather that too would have helped the kick. Games over, but want to see if Bass has that leg and no better a time. Already been 12 54+ yard FGs after 3 weeks.

Great is still to be determined. He has an incredible QB (as did Bill Belichek). Until he wins an SB or doesn't have another 13 seconds occur I'd hold off on great. And yes I think he is good to very good.

Thanks for this. Situational recognition of time and clock is you catch get up field and down. Easily would have been inside the 45 with 12-13 seconds (play started with 18 seconds) and a spike. Then either a Hail Mary or Kick. Already had a 59, 58 & 57 (to win game on the last play) yarders made this year.

Because they don't look prepared the last 2-minutes (or OT) with the game on the line. Whether he said it or we've been told it about the Bills and him. He doesn't look good in these situations imo.

A voice of reason???? I think McD is a good coach, blessed with a great/maybe generational QB. Until he starts winning these games, I will continue to have questions.

I think McKenzie is wrong and like most people (in all facets of life) won't say he made a mistake. He did. He has little idea whether he was at the 45 or 40 yard line. I didn't want heads to roll after 13 seconds, but I wanted accountability. They made mistake after mistake in 13 seconds. These late game issues too have been marred by too many coaching and situational mistakes and just 1-2 different outcomes and that would have changed those outcomes. Frankly if the Bills did score from the 1, I'd have bet you Miami would get a FG minimum and if a TD, I may be here complaining about the defensive calls.😝
