    Let's not get too cocky. Don't forget how vulnerable we are over the middle to the quick strike.

    Quick strike over the middle?  We can't contain either edge, we can't stop the run.......  Guys in this thread that think our D is going to come out and make some kind of statement are fooling themselves.

     

    Our one dimensional offense is going to have to have a near perfect game to beat the Jets.

    Hypothetically speaking....if the fumble did hold up.

    All I was stating is that even as bad as we were playing the defense still had missed opportunities to change this game in our favor. I believe the same with the offense. Some things don’t show up on the stat sheet like the PI calls. Those were positive plays. its never as bad as immediately after the game. I always like to watch the game a second time through after I cool off. 
     

    I do think we should have gone for 2 points after the Beasley TD because KC scoring again was inevitable. Meh onto Jets for a convincing win. 

    Heads weren't where they needed to be.  Just thinking about the last half of the 4th quarter.  We have our #1 WR walking back to the LOS as the clock is running, we have two 15yd roughing penalties on our defense, we have our QB run up the middle for less than 10yrds with no time outs to stop the clock.

     

    Hearts and heads weren't there.  And you know we know better.  It's things like this I can't get my head wrapped around.

    OL - Run Blocking Issues

    Bill's need to use run game more and has to get better. Teams going to start keying on passing game lots more. Plus put Spain back in. Get Winters outta there.

    Do the Bills have the personnel to improve the run game?  While we pass block OK, we are terrible run blocking.  Is that scheme (coaching) or talent on the field?

    For everyone freaking out about the D last night

    We gave up 26 points to the Chiefs.  The only team to give up fewer this year has been the Chargers (who gave up 23 and lost) - the Patriots also allowed 26 (and lost by more than we did.) 

     

    Going into this game I thought our recipe for winning against the Chiefs would be holding them to under 30 and scoring more than that.  Were you all really anticipating holding them to much less?

     

     

    You can't compare the typical KC offense to last night's game.  They brought an entirely different game plan.  I don't know if it was due to the whether, due to tape on the Bills, etc.  They didn't bring their "high powered" offense.  Mahomes was a game manager last night and they ran the ball up our "personalities" using much more clock on their drives than they typically due.  While we did drop our defenders some, to keep their receivers in front of us, we couldn't stop their run so they just simply kept bringing it.

    Um, no, @Over 29 years of fanhood.   No, the Bills did not play the same defense against the Titans and the Chiefs.

     

    The Titans can by damn run the ball.  263 rush yards against the Texans.  What we did against the Titans is we said "we're going to limit your run game, beat us passing if you can".  The Titans said "OK"

     

    What we did against the Chiefs is said "we're going to play first to take away your deep passing game, your quick strike passing.  Beat us running and with underneath stuff if you can."  The Chiefs said "OK, and while we're at it, we'll just grind out yards, convert 3rd downs, and keep the ball away from your offense"

     

    This is exactly what happened

    So lets say the fumble was a fumble and we get it.  Drive down and win the game.  Again, thinking hypothetically and I know it didn't happen.

     

    Would you still feel happy about the win or would you still have deep concerns about our defense getting gashed all night?  Plus, with the inconsistencies on offense two weeks in a row.

    Would the win feel flukish to you?

     

     

     

    Any of our future opponents that don't run it up our throats, with an RPO sprinkled in here and there to their tight end hasn't been paying attention.

    I might add that Norman dropped an easy INT in the 3rd quarter too.  Everything is hindsight.  I had no issues with the game plan on defense.  Only that our offense couldn't deliver.  Frustrating that it always seems to be one side of the ball functioning while the other struggles.  Hopefully. a Jets win cures that...for a little while at least.

    You think the D functioned last night?

    a loss tonight isn’t the end of the world obviously.  But, if we lose by a blowout and our D gets pushed around like they did last Tuesday, then that’ll raise some serious questions (in my mind, at least) on whether we can go deep in the playoffs this season or not.

    No doubt we need both.  Last year we needed the O to score in the 20s to have a chance to win most games.  I think we'll need high 30s or even 40 to win tonight.
