I know I do. But at least I wasn't the OP. It's more of a LOL right now to be honest.

I'd like to point out that Jim Kelly called his own plays at the LOS, often in a hurry up mode, seldom with a huddle. Of course they didn't need to run too many different plays because they were so good. Those 5 Cook runs in a row are the thing that irritates me the most about the Houston game. It's just incompetence. But Allen also needs to know that he should either audible out of dumb calls or call timeout in those high leverage situations. He is the most important guy in this entire organization. He has that latitude and responsibility.

We have decent backup offensive linemen

Bernard is no big loss. Brown is a bummer. I've torn up my shoulder via sublux and dislocation. It hurts, especially with reaching, which an OL does every stinking play.

It's Brady, but that means it's also McDermott. Brady demonstrated again last night that he is just not up to the job. This entire staff has run its course but with Pegula seemingly 99% clueless, I don't know that it'll ever change. Sigh.

This is my fear and I think is basically 100% correct. It could be some dark times.

I think the betting world overvalues the Bills and so the lines are often not realistic. The causal fan gets excited when Allen goes off and those that were not paying attention thought this was going to be an easy game. Houston has a darn good defense and excellent defensive coaching. Our offensive coaching and play calling isn't great and Allen's bad habit of holding onto the ball too long is the exact wrong thing to do against Houston. I agree the Miami loss was a whole 'nother story, as was the Falcons to a good degree. This team is tired and lacks talent, it's that simple to me. I hope they can get something around Allen eventually but I'm not that optimistic. This year could easily go south with all the road games coming up.

I still like to watch games but it's a lot less fun than when Daboll was OC and we had a passable defense. I looked forward to the offense getting on the field. "I wonder what they'll do this time"? Sometimes it didn't go too well but it was still fun. The defense was fundamentally sound even if it couldn't stop teams in the playoffs.

OL getting abused, to state the obvious

Wow, does Brady really have to get the flight home? That was some impressive play calling there.

Interesting to watch a talented, well coached defense. Too bad it's not our defense.

These Thursday games are just great for injuries. All walkthrough practices. Travel. #1 defense. Not good.

It's pretty simple to me. This defense is just not good enough. The offense is far from perfect and Josh needs to realize he can't hold onto the ball against there guys.

Loved it. The number of bleeps was excellent. Such a violent position. He is big and plays big. This week will be a test. The Texan DEs are legit.

This is one of the very key points. Allen extends plays extremely well but you've got to have receivers that know how and where to get open and try hard to do it. I've seen Coleman catch late passes but not nearly enough. Diggs is/was great at the late pass obviously.
