RoyBatty is alive

Yes in other words poor coaching.

This is the second kick this year that was borderline good but over the post, at least optically it looked good but the refs have the ideal position for that and at that point that is all they are watching. It is a parallax view that makes it appear good.

It is the kickers job to be ready to kick. He had plenty of time between the pick six, the celebration and then the kick. If I ever saw a coach use a timeout to let a kicker get "warmed up" (unless MAYBE if it was a game winner) i would lobby for said coach to be fired.

What is it with Bill fans, is Lee Smith the new whipping boy now that DiMarco is gone? For years it was Kelsay.

Even if we lose vs Pitt, we have a 96% to make the playoffs and 90% to win the AFCE if the Ravens, Dolphins, raiders and Patriots all lose.

I am not at all impressed with Tua, he has had a lot of luck and team help but it is hard to argue with his success. 7 TDs, no ints, 63% completion. Either Flores and/or Gailey deserves lot of credit keeping him out of trouble. I grow tired of hearing about how great belichek is against rookie QBs, i hope Billie has something special for Tua.

edit: 30 seconds of your life to read and respond to that post and now i am up to one minute of wasted time

About 30 seconds of your life you wasted reading that.

Hope you are right but I doubt it. Sadly the Dolphins are well coached and playing well, and they have proven either Tua or Fitzpatrick can win. Dolphins are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. I think the Miami -New England game is the key, either way we will "win". If the Dolphins win they effectively eliminate the Patriots and we get them the next week. Pats win really hurts Miami AFC east crown hopes. I just hope Tua plays against the PAtriots. I want to see what Belichek will scheme up to go against the rookie. Tua is bound to have a total disaster rookie game and that might be it. Tua has yet to throw an int which is hard to believe, our good buddy Belichek might change that.

I dont care if they were the first overall defense going into the game plays like that one with no one covering a tight end are inexcusable in the NFL. I certainly hope whoever tries to hire Saleh as a possible HC will watch that Bills game film.

Red on Red, the worst combination.

This underscores how bad the 49ers defense really was. Allen had a few thread the needle throws but many receivers were wide open, their secondary must suck and as the aged Sherman admitted Josh extended plays and the 49ers just couldn't maintain coverage that long. I got real tired of hearing what an offensive genius Shanahan was on offense and Saleh was on defense, their defense was a joke.

Always a massive great sign for the team the spread moves towards. Rarely you see a line move that much that quickly.

I didnt say or intimate one game makes a trend or issue for a year. As for the poster and our inability to get first downs bring that up with him/her, not me.

Good point, if a casual fan noted that I would be shocked if the 49ers were not looking for it.

I think Wentz would love to have the team and career path Josh has had. Wentz came in with a bang whereas Allen has improved each year. Wentz a second draft pick and on a winning SB teams his second year, that is world of expectations. Allen was hotly contested with his now infamous accuracy issues. The Eagles situation is borderline fire, HC now in jeopardy, way over the salary cap, many injuries.

No I dont think poster is confused with last year, I think the poster is reflecting on the San Fran game and I would agree with him/her.

Yes that was the one great flaw offensively last night. I formerly thought J Allen on short yardage QB sneaks was borderline unstoppable...wasnt the case last night. Granted San Fran line is very good. I saw Morse get beat several times yesterday.

Those were my overall reactions...m,any of those Bills were comically open, now much credit is due to Josh being able to move and throw on the run with his rocket arm. As sherman said post game interview, Allen kept plays alive and you can only cover receivers for so long.

interesting if he is on the field with Klein. See how many snaps he has.

Any team in the NFL, even the Jets can have "one good game but still lose"

"Big Time" is relative.....what is the mighty establsishment the negative whinning numbskull Jerry Sullivan now writes for, the Lancaster Lookout or Olean Observer?

longing for "the days of yore" (lol) as your avatar has a 60s nostalgia to it

Then why even read the Buffalo News, just come to TBD for non-nonsensical emotional fan takes, I dont need the Buffalo News to ferret them out for me. One micro-example of how newspapers becoming increasingly irrelevant. Exactly. Bill fans used to love to whine and complain about all the Patriot prime time games and what an alleged advantage it was. And now that we have them,. on cue, people are complaining.

Browns=-Steelers are going to have huge playoff considerations to end the season.
