I couldn’t disagree more. The loss has many reasons but the refusal to run certainly was not greater than the refusal to take any chances, such as 4th down from the 3 yard line.

That’s generous, depending on the replacement QB you choose.

None of these would be my questions. Mine would be: - Why do you coach with fear? - Do you think about what could have been if you went for 4th down and goal multiples times this season? - Did the loss against the Titans game affect your future decisions?

If your RB has a 1 on 1 vs a d-linemen, that’s about as good of a “win” as you can get. You take the 1 on 1 all day, every day.

I don’t know how anyone can look at what the RB’s are doing and then blame it on the toughness of the O-Line.

What if Josh decided to throw to an open Beasley? Again, these are all "what-ifs". Belichick did nothing special. Absolutely nothing. He played scared because he knew his QB couldn't throw in that wind. Had any of 5 different things gone different for the Bills, no-one is talking about Belichick.

Lazy take. Since were playing the what-if game. - What if Diggs didn't drop a perfectly thrown TD? - What if Breida didn't fumble the ball with no one touching him? - What if the refs called PI in the endzone? (image below) - What if Knox didn't drop 3 passes?

What preparedness? Did they cause Diggs to drop a perfectly thrown TD pass where the Patriot defender was burnt like wheat toast? Did they cause Breida to drop the ball, even though no one touched him? Perhaps you can say they caused one of Knox's numerous drops? Did their discipline stop them from committing a costly personal foul that extended a Bills drive? Did their execution put more than 14 points on the board? I don't see it. Would you have been happier if they held them to 50 yards rushing and 14 points?

Yep. Happens all the time.

Defense played fine. It was always a lazy take that the defense was the problem. They allowed 14 total points. While were in the mood of busting myths, Belichick was not a great coach last night. For all of the rushing yards the Patriots had, they only put up 14 points. If Diggs catches that TD pass, no one is talking about Belichick at all today. Because the Bills would have won. Belichick's gameplan was *****. He ran it almost 50 times, only scored 14 points, and it took the Bills a dropped TD, two dropped first downs, and a fumble where no one touched the RB, for the Pats to win by 4.

No he hasn't.

Wrong. Allen has handled the ball over 600 times to his 2 lost fumbles. McKenzie has handled the ball around - what - 50 times? To his 3 muffs/fumbles.

We are not in a time loop. What happened in 1988-1989 have no relevance today.

3 muffs/fumbles just this year. Not one.

Moss could have won the game if he just bounced it outside. He didn't. We have zero competent RB's on this team and that concerns me because Beane said last offseason that he didn't think RB's were the problem. Look at the massive open field Moss has to the endzone if he bounces it outside:

Josh is not the problem. 1) We have an OC that refuses to call red-zone plays that maximize our offenses most efficient players (see: designed QB runs). 2) We have RB's with zero vision. This is a TD with a competent RB.

No, I found it refreshing. McD rarely calls out players. McKenzie has had an issue with ball security for some time and he even mentioned so in an interview a few weeks (months?) back.

Yep..

It probably was. But they were never going to overturn it.

They gave up 14 points. Yards are irrelevant when they’re not backed up by points.

I won’t go that far, but he has proven to be a poor game day coach. That challenge was inexcusable and was never going to work. Cost us an important timeout.

You want to blame Frazier? For all the yards the defense gave up on the ground, it was only worth 14 points. The scoreboard is all that matters. 250 yards rushing means whatever the point total is on the scoreboard. 14. That’s it. The offense still had multiple opportunities in the redzone. Diggs dropped a game winning TD pass. Knox dropped multiple first downs. Breida fumbled a ball when he wasn’t even touched. .

It’s painful to say, but I agree. McD is not good on game day.

I’m not worried about the QB: Im worried about them running it 50 times.

Belichick seems to do just fine getting his gameplan installed outside.
