I'm sure this has been said but didn't we beat the dolphins and didn't thr dolphins lose to the patriots? Lol what a joke not to mention our win over the dolphins was viewed as illegitimate because they were supposedly not a good team

I mean our whole division plays a very similarly difficult schedule soooo our 'demise' will most likely result in a division win still even if it happens lol

^^ this is big too...were averaging like 2-3 drives on offense less per game than our team last year which had a defense that forced a lot of three and outs...I think the belichick onside kick decision was evidence enough that the pats d was barely holding on...luckily for them our d was barely holding on too lol. The defenses are trying to force Josh to try to do too much to extend drives and outside of the titans game hes been a lot better in that regard...I think Josh looks 'tense' because he knows the offense has to score almost every time out since our defense can't stop anybody

We punted 0 times against the Jets lol just a lot of shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties and such. Need to be a threat to run to pass the ball and the running game seemed to get on track with Feliciano back.

I just dont understand why were complaining about a defense dropping extra guys into coverage because they respect our qb lol if you can't at least threaten to run the ball you're not gonna win in this league I don't care who your quarterback is. We have been horrendous running the football up until this week which makes it difficult to score in the red zone.. josh's flaw is he tries to turn plays where he should just take what the defense gives him into absurd big chunk plays which is exactly what defenses are counting on and he seems to be improving in that regard.

Leaving the pocket could bring a defender out of coverage and open someone up...allen doesn't seem to be panicking and leaving the pocket to gain yards with his legs at all...his eyes are always downfield

These 'struggles' are really correctable mistakes on the opponents side of the field...people are looking at josh Allen's stats and using that as the sole determing factor of the offense struggling it seems like...we've punted three times in 8 quarters...moving the ball has not been an issue. That drop by Davis and miscommunication on the diggs option route couldve easily been 14 points and were not even having these conversations about the offense

I'm baffled what outcoached means in the context of this game lol they didn't really fool our offense at all and their offensive strategy was to run it down our throats because we cannot tackle...also the pats tried a rather ridiculous onside kick that we were prepared for which really swung the game. Are we saying its the coaches fault the linebackers are absolutely awful? Because if thats what outcoached means then sure lol

The last two weeks very much standout as far as halftime adjustments go so I disagree with this take entirely lol continuing to try to force the ball deep is exactly what opposing defenses want and are expecting us to do

I'm not sure the defenses 'adjusted' specifically to what we were doing schematically in the passing game...seems like its more they know we haven't been successful running the ball so theyre dropping more guys into coverage. We'll know more after the Seahawks game as they have some issues on defense and like to play a lot of man and maybe the weather won't be horrendous for once lol.

Miami was playing well before and we beat them and everyone said the win doesn't count because it was miami 😁

Were people expecting a blowout in a division game against one of the best coaches in history in a must win game for them? Lol

Was just gonna say this...when we can't load up the box we struggle making plays against the run because our linebackers have been historically horrendous 🤣 id have to rewatch the Tennessee game which i really don't want to do but Henry really didn't do much because we played with a safety in the box id assume

They had a couple good players on the defensive end hold out for covid this season which im sure belichick didn't plan for.

And they didn't even break 200 against us when we were keeping our only linebacker that can cover anyone on a snap count and the completely immobile statue that is joe Flacco wasnt even playing...injuries aren't normally much of an excuse but we have been absolutely decimated...im not saying we're definitely gonna shut down the patriots but this is not the 07 patriots were talking about here lol are they really miles ahead of the jets offensively? Jets had extra time to prepare and gase is coaching for his job im not surprised at all he scored on a scripted drive

I cant understand the word barely being used to describe that win when the jets were held to 4 yards of offense in the second half of a game where we were missing a ton of starters and a lot of the key starters that were playing have been banged up...not to mention the bills are practicing against a similar but improved version of the offense the pats are likely going to run. I think with the addition of diggs the pats are going to struggle trying to man up our receivers which they had no problems with in the past. I certainly don't think this will be an easy win but this current patriots team is not even remotely close to the level the chiefs or titans are playing at and they will be one of the least talented teams we have played so far this year on paper.

I would say all in all the schedule was easier than expected...jets were certainly not supposed to be the worst team ever and the pats are as beatable as they've ever been...and thats 4 of our division games. Beat Denver and the chargers and Miami and split with new England and we can get swept by the rest of the nfc west and lose to pitt and still be almost assured the division at 9 wins...figure we lose one of those afc games and steal one from the nfc west though.

Lol they're a game behind the dolphins too though 🤣 and only 2 games in front of those very same terrible jets...its gonna feel strange rooting for the pats to beat the dolphins for once

I just dont think 190+ yards of offense and what should've been 12 points in 4 drives in the first half is as flat as most people think it is... bills have way less possessions than those inept days were comparing this offense to because the defense is giving up huge clock killing drives. Defense adjusted and absolutely embarrassed the jets in the second half...4 yards of offense allowed in an entire half of football is absolutely insane I dont care how bad the team youre playing is

Bills have to pass to set up the run...they literally cannot run block

They show up they just usually blow the game in spectacular fashion lol

We mightve done a worse job developing metcalf than the Seahawks did too...these kind of comparisons are very difficult

I think they started 5-1 not 5-0 that year if it makes you feel better 🤣

Seems like we always kick off to start the 2nd half and give up a ridiculously long drive this year which limits the offenses chances

Its at least plausible to believe the bills could win a shootout against a team like kc now so that's definitely a good feeling lol
