I agree. My point was the coach has been doing this all year for those who didn't know.

I think the Pats vs Colts game ca go either way. I don't see the Bills beating the Pats. The Pats are at home, are way too physical for the Bills, and we have a less than 100% Allen. Thats a very tall order.

I'm just hoping the make the playoffs. I don't think we can beat of the Patriots for the division. Sure it's possible but unlikely. A Charger win makes it more difficult to get a wild card spot.

Sorry if it's been asked. Don't we want the Chiefs to win?

The Chargers have consistently gone for it on 4th downs all year. I don't have the stats but I'd bet they are the top team for going for it.

Well I've seen every Bill and Charger game. Both QBs are special. Can't go wrong with either as both are franchise QBs.

Correct last year. The Bills are no where near the team of last year and the Chargers have improved.

I live here in San Diego. I can tell you Herbert is as good or better than Allen. He is special. I don't think the Bills would beat the Chargers if they ever meet.

You think NFL is going to have to shut it down? The covid positives seem to be trending upward.

I agree with what you are saying. It just difficult to get too high on this team. They have some massive issues in the trenches, lost their lock down CB, have an injuried Qb, and have been wildly inconsistent. The second half of the Bucs game is certainly encouraging. That version of the Bills would be extremely dangerous. We should get a pretty clear idea of what we have in the upcoming games.

Oouch this post hurts a little...Hoping we see more of the Bills version of the Bucs 2nd half. That is good enough to advance very far and maybe win it all.

Great post Alpha. What a great read and in depth analysis. My small input. Agree with getting Beasley more invovled. Sanders started out fast but he has contributed little since then. I prefer more of Davis. Lastly, this isn't coach McD best coaching year as a Bill. However, I believe he's the best man for the job. If someone can name an available coach better than McD I would like to hear that. I'm starting to believe the Bills might need to make a change at offensive and defensive coordinator. Not sure who that would be but it feels like their time is fading... It's ok to be a "homer." Don't we all fall into that category?

True good teams overcome bad officiating. However, I think this game was different. The Bills were playing the reigning Super Bowl champs on their home field with the greatest QB in NFL history. They aren't the better team. As a result, the Bills couldn't not overcome the blatant missed calls or incorrect calls of the refs. Especially, missed PI penalties on both sides of the ball. Clearly, the refs played a huge role in the outcome of the game. The Bills got screwed by almost every account. Sure they could have scored at the start of OT. I contend it should have never gotten to OT because of the Diggs non call. Then in OT, Evans was the one who committed PI. Perhaps, I am crying... Allen and the Bills deserved the win and it was taken away from us by the refs not Brady. That leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Ok I said my piece now I am going to shut up. I know most will be happy.

Depressing...

What was the Bills offensive game plan? Can anyone explain it to me. How didn't the Bills staff know the Pats were going to run the ball til they dropped? On the other hand, the defense failed to contain gaps and were mauled in the trenches. It's a pretty good theme we are seeing yet so many here refuse to admit the obvious. Folks, let's start being more objective. Criticism doesn't equate to not being a fan. Now, I'll have to read about how the Bills go to Tampa and beat them. Can't wait to read it.

It was a failure from top to bottom.

Some people never learn and they fail to see the obvious. This is a perfect example here. No Bills fan should be "ok with this game." The fact is the game wasn't played in good weather. I could careless about woulda, coulda, shoulda, ... This team wasn't good enough to win. This team is in a dog fight to make the playoffs especially after Tampa and Brady hand them a can of whip a$$. Fournette is going to eat them alive. I'm not ok with the loss, the way the Bills played, and the weaknesses of the team. This team is not even remotely close to last years team. Stop with the excuses. The only little hope is that the AFC doesn't seem to have a dominate team. Parity is pretty evident. This season is so frustrating compared to last year.

I thought the Bills would have a few surprise plays. I can't recall one. Very little motion and countless runs up the middle that never worked. I get trying to run especially with the wind. However, the Bills line wasn't physical enough between the tackles. Yet, they continued to try to pound the ball. Even the broadcast team stated on a few occasions the Bills can't run up the middle with success. They even gave away a down or two in the endzone late in the game trying to run up the gut. Really a colossal mistake(s). The Bills defense gave up way too many yards on the ground. They never forced the Pats to pass. The offense scored one gift touchdown. The coaching staff was out classed by the Patriots. That hurts to say. The game in the trenches was won by the Patriots. What a major disappointment on so many levels.

Did you watch the game? If they Bills scored the Patriots still have around 1 min and 55 seconds and 2 time outs to score. A field goal would tie the game assuming the Bills make the extra point. If the Bills go for 2 They are up either 2 or 4 points. There is no guarantee the Bills win. Also, to play the "what if" game is pretty ridiculous too.

It didn't happen. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the Bills win the game. The Pats would have had plenty of time on the clock with I believe 2 timeouts and the wind to their advantage. Corrected. Its that simple.

Off topic a bit. After the Bills failed to score on 4th down the camera scrolled to BB. His glee and hugs made me sick to my stomach. I wanted to jump through the TV screen and .... For some reason, I can't get thay picture out of my head.

That's fair. The loss isn't on Allen as much as others. In live time, I was envisioning Allen just bullying his way into the end zone or rolling out and making a great pass.

I don't think he would be a difference maker. Plus, Knox has been nothing short of great excluding this game of course.

Even the broadcast team stated the Bills should go to a hurry up. I was very disappointed in the Bills game plan. Offensively they didn't seem to do anything different. They seemed predictable. I know the weather played a factor.
