I wish one guy on defense played with half the heart Allen displays on offense.

Talks a much tougher game at the press conference podium.

No 😂 Usually it works well when we start out hot, but the o line reappeared in all their glory.

Sanders is washed.

This team is so hot and cold, you get a pretty good feel early on. I like us not trying to run the ball.

Good vibes so far.

Brady might be the GOAT, but thanks to Arians for not running the ball.

I’m quite sure $ has overcome the sanctity of everything.

Daboll looking like an NFL coordinator.

Agree, we obviously have much better talent in 2021 than the drought years, but the attitude is closer to Jauron than the bickering Bills.

Meyer as a one and done in Jacksonville was about the most predictable thing ever.

I was the first guy saying the Pats weren’t very good a few months ago. I didn’t understand people who claimed they should be feared. They’ve turned it around, and look as good as anyone. I have no clue who the real AFC contenders are at this point. The ebb and flow has changed since I thought the Pats any good. Now I can’t under why someone would think they don’t have a legit chance to win the AFC.

Never liked the shout song after a field goal either. We all understand the value of points, but unless it’s a game winner, field goals are always a let down in the moment.

That’s a proper assessment of the last twenty years. I’d love statistics of what franchises have given up the most 60+ yard runs over the past few decades. Long runs seem like a very rare feat these days, yet they occur quite a bit against Bills teams, particularly at home games.

I’m with the nothing crowd. I don’t like over thinking things, but I’ve never understood what the stupid horn is supposed to represent. It might be cool if it tied to Buffalo as a city somehow. The train horn means nothing, and it’s even obnoxious on tv. It becomes more annoying when getting blown out at home, and they still do the horn on third down.

The O line goes without saying, that’s always huge. I’m going with Sanders. We need our number two WR to show up this week.

Agree, the offense has been really stale this season. The second half of the season feels like we don’t throw to anyone other than Diggs and Knox. Sanders might just be wearing down, but Davis and Beasley don’t seem to be part of the game plan. Much of last seasons success was a result of distributing the ball to different players. That’s how good NFL teams play in this era.

I’m putting a lot of this on coaching. Most NFL rosters have holes. Very few teams, if any, have no weaknesses. Our weaknesses are mostly in the trenches. Obviously that’s a terrible place to be weak, but we have an elite QB. There’s no way we aren’t better than 7-5 with our soft schedule. The Jags loss, and blowout home loss to the Colts were inexcusable. This team has some major issues, but the Colts shouldn’t be 45-13 better than us, and the Jags shouldn’t beat us 9-6. I don’t know how I can’t place that on coaching. We’re the better team, even with our issues. It’s a fair assumption that we aren’t winning titles struggling in the trenches. However, I can’t solely blame the composition of the roster for the ugly losses this season. McD is correct, we aren’t winning a title with no run game, but right now Josh gives us the best chance to win. Singletary and Moss one yard runs are a waste. We have no run game, and it’s time to be honest about this. The run game isn’t going to develop at this point in the season. This roster was composed in the manner that suited Beane and McDermott, it’s time for them to play to its strengths. Maybe those strengths won’t bring home the ultimate goal, but it’s better than trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Fix the roster during the off-season. Give Allen the keys to the offense, and give up trying what doesn’t work.

Didn’t Claypool go to Notre Dame? I think the TBD college football forum just had a debate about academic standards for ND athletes, I think this video provides the answer.

It seems like they try to hide him, but he can still make lots of throws when given the opportunity. He does need the o line to block really well considering how immobile he is.

The defender knocking that ball out might be the best Bills play of the week.

Why they’d act like they didn’t want to make a tackle.

Why are we even making these throws with less than five minutes, and a big lead?

I really miss the days when you had dominant teams by this point in the season. There’s a fine line between parody and mediocrity.

Good post, I think the defense doesn’t get the credit they deserve because of bias against the stereotypical Big 12 style of play. The running back being out was a huge loss. Jackson just doesn’t appear to have what it takes to be the main back in that offense.
