#1. This shows how important the bye is. We could have faced the inferior Jaguars and a hobbled Mahomes at home.
#2. Jordan Phillips and D. Jones being unavailable or limited killed the middle of our d-line today.
#3. Defense just had too many injuries this year, reminds me of the Ravens last year. Hyde, Von Miller, Poyer gimpy all year, Tre White not 100%, Hamlin, Benford and Dane Jackson missed some time, Milano and Edmunds missed time (probably why we lost first Jets game), also the two DTs mentioned above. Other contenders were much healthier overall.
#4. Our o-line stunk all year and it stunk in this game too. We had much better o-line play last year at the end of the year and in the playoffs. Brown regressed some, and Saffold must be much worse than Ike was.
#5. The combination of Allen and Dorsey just didn’t seem to click. I know statistically they were similar to last year, but things just looked disjointed the second half of the season.
#6. Gabe Davis dropped another big time important play, even though we shouldn’t be throwing bombs every 3rd and short.
#7. If you were watching closely, you shouldn’t be too surprised about this outcome. Bills had a hard year for a lot of reasons and just didn’t have it. Our best chance was to get some bounced and squeak by, but just didn’t happen.
#8. I’ve been paying too much attention to football, so maybe this is healthy.
