The NFL is broken. Officiating is far too subjective, far too much room for personal interpretations and implementation of the rule book. To me that’s an obvious OPI, the arm his fully extended, the defender the stumbles BACKWARDS. I get that it was a touchdown, but rules are rules, except when they’re not and “common sense prevails”. It’s 2020... the technology exists, get the calls right, restore some integrity to the game, and maybe keep a rule book handy as well.

So that’s how you play defense when it’s 3rd and a mile with the season on the line? Hopefully Frazier and McD we’re watching and taking some notes.

I do fear he is another Marvin Lewis type who can get you to the playoffs... and that’s about it. I mean, so far that seems to be the case. Next year is his big put up or shut up season since it will be his 3rd with Josh, there is a solid foundation of young players in place, tons of cap space and an abundance of draft picks. If he can’t get a playoff win next year, change could be in the horizon sooner than most think.

Sorry but F McDermott on this one. Why did Josh try and do “too much”... perhaps because you asked him to throw the ball 46 times and only had the best offensive player carry the ball THIRTEEN times, while inexplicably giving roughly 40% of the carries to Frank freaking Gore! Singletary was out there making plays all game, and 13 carries, FFS this loss is clearly on coaching and game planning. The talent is there, atleast to get out of the first round, the coaching however is another story. I still like McDermott, but unfortunately for the team as a whole this game leaves me with more questions than answers moving forward. ”Future is bright” Is it though? Blew a 16 point lead in the playoffs, with the number 2 overall ranked defense and a QB who didn’t throw an interception. Josh didn’t try and do too much, your coaches didn’t do enough, got too cute (how do you not get off the field on 3rd and 18!?), and cost this franchise a great moment in it’s history.

Same old Billsh1t... disgusting display, out coached by Bill F-ckin O’Brien

Precisely why the Pegulas have been smart to push back on Goodell’s pressure for a new stadium. They have always been bad investments, and with this report the future doesn’t look bright for mega stadiums.

I keep hearing about what a big factor Hopkins is, seems like Brown should be getting a lot more respect. Plus Smoke won’t have an All Pro CB smothering him the majority of the day. Hopkins Receptions 104 Yards 1,165 YPC 11.2 YPG 77.7 Touchdowns 7 Brown Receptions 72 Yards- 1,060 YPC-14.7 YPG-70.7 Touchdowns- 6

I agree with just about everything in this video, except for the last part where she mentions she would like the Bills better if they were at home. 6-2 on the road, 4-4 @ home, I’m cool with them bein road dogs the whole way through. To me the home field doesn’t matter in this particular game, it’s not going to effect the defense and the defense will win this game for Buffalo, while the Bills offense does just enough.

If the staff and players don’t let the pressure of the moment best them, then Buffalo wins this game. The Bills are definitely the most complete football team and “Defense travels” & “Defense wins championships” are both sayings for a reason. I think you are right, Oliver and the DL will make Watson’s life a living hell, forcing him into bad decisions. Bills Win, 26-13.

I like the way Buffalo matches up in this one personally. I will be disappointed if they don’t get the W. Nothing about the Texans outside of Watson and Hopikins is impressive to me, this defense should be able to handle those two. Shut their lackluster run game down early, they are going to want to pass the ball often regardless, and that plays right into the strength of this top 3 defensive unit. Josh and the offense ran into some really stifling defenses down the stretch in Baltimore, New England and Pitt but even prior to those games, this offense was starting to click against Miami, Denver and Dallas, with the latter two both fielding respectable defenses themselves. Defensively the Texans rank right around the Dolphins in total D, and I expect Buffalo to be able to keep the chains moving, play solid defense, and follow their winning formula to the first Bills playoff victory since the Clinton administration.

I just meant I wouldn’t waste any real time breaking down film on the Jets or spend any other valuable prep time focusing on coming up with specific game plans geared towards exposing their weaknesses. Personally I would rather all the time, manpower and available resources that would be be put into preparing for the Jets instead be redirected towards getting ready for the playoffs. Start backups, just run vanilla stuff, who cares what the Jets do, the only goal should be getting out of the game healthy. After seeing some of McD’s comments, I think he is basically following a similar train of thought.

This game should just be treated as a preseason game with very little game planning, and feature the backups. Starters shouldn’t even be bothered with having to prep for the Jets and instead should be focused instead on Houston.

You’re lack of perspective is concerning... how many drives did the Bills offense sustain to give the defense any chance to regroup, gather their bearings, or even catch a breath? In order to field a successful defense, your offense needs to sustain drives. That’s football basics 101. They had held their own despite Brady chewing up clock, but the Bills offense couldn’t get into any rhythm and stay in the field, but the late 2nd half the D just didn’t have anything left in the tank.

The defense scored under 20, again? And couldn’t sustain drives to get a breather?

Josh plays much better in a quick, uptempo offense, where he is just reading and reacting instinctively more than he does with Daboll’s garbage offensive gameplan. Its like Daboll wants Josh to be somebody else for 3 quarters, but then ge 4th rolls around, he has no choice but to let Josh be Josh.

If you are referring to Knox on that back corner endzone throw, we have two very different ideas of wide open. Daboll is bad because his game plan for the Patriots was terrible. One play where you think a TE may have been open and he’s a good OC suddenly? despite trotting out a woefully unprepared and terribly scripted offense for the first entire first half? If not for one miracle throw by Josh, they go into the half with a deficit. All I saw yesterday on offense was a couple big throws by Josh that kept the team in the game, and a poor offensive game plan as a whole.

Loss on Daboll. Not sustaining drives and then falling short once again in the same exact situation as the Baltimore loss at the end of the game. Obviously Josh missed some throws, but then he goes and makes throws I don’t think anybody else could make. Defense played a hell of a game. You tell me Tom Brady is running 70 plays at home and I assume they hung atleast 40. As Steve Smith just said “lacks creativity”...

D just gassed at this point... awful? They gave up 16 points until that drive, it would help if the Bills offense could sustain drives.

Jesus Christ... he can’t make a throw, can’t get in a rhythm. Can’t get Brady off the field, dink and dunk fest... seen this movie before

His arms weren’t extended, no way that ball magically got extended with his arms moving forward.

How? Clear and obvious he was short

What is he saving his challenges for a more important play!? Nut the ***** up

What are those ***** flags stuck in their pockets with these holds!?!!

I can’t watch this ball placement for this next 15 years, he needs to get it under control. I’m not even trying to drudge up the tired innacuracy narrative, (though that last thrown was hospitality tent bad), his actual ball placement NEEDS to get better, somehow.

Definitely thought the season might be over at that point. As important as Allen’s diverse play has been, Tre White is the team MVP this year.
