Yea, its typical of fans to blame coaches when things go badly. Sometimes players just get whipped sometimes and they sure got whipped today. When I was a young HS coach, a veteran coach once told me the whole town used to think we were geniuses when we were winning titles year in and year out and now they think we're a bunch of dumbasses because we have a losing program. We have literally taught the same stuff year in and year out the only thing that changes are the players. Not entirely the same here but the truth is fans are always looking for someone to blame and the coaches are an easy target.

I mean I'm irritated by the lack of defensive stops just like you are. I don't know if its necessarily an indicator of things to come in the future. It could be for sure but we don't know if this is a blip on the radar or an actual thing. We'll see how they respond against the Lions next week. If they get gashed again and we lose another high scoring game or get blown out then maybe we have an issue but I won't think the wheels are falling off over one bad defensive performance.

Well good news everybody. Everyone hated McDermotts decisions once every 7 weeks. Today and against the Texans. If he keeps up that pace it will be in the Super Bowl

I agree with all of this. Thank you.

Yup I agree with you, Houston isn't a threat and Pittsburgh is but that final stretch of @ Philly, @Baltimore, KC, Cinci is a tough final stretch. They could go 0-4 but even at best I think 2-2

I think we are still a lock for the # 2 seed. Pittsburgh is tied with us but at best they are going 2-2 with that final stretch. I know everyone wants the one seed and I totally get that but I'd rather be healthy. If it means going to Arrowhead to win the AFC we have done that many times and the crowd and moment wont be too big for them.

We needed that 3rd timeout. We basically had no shot once we called that TO. I frankly would have kicked the FG once we got into range instead of going for the TD. We needed 9 points in some manner. Once we got that Allen long run I would have trotted Bass out there to kick and then booted it deep with my 3 TO's and hope that my defense could have gotten a stop and given Allen 50 seconds and no TO's to drive the field but I understand going for the TD first but the sneak was a killer not getting in. I am not going to crucify McDermott for the accepting the penalty. McVay was going to go for it whether it was 4th and 7 or 4th and 4 and the play that Atwell caught would have been a first down in either situation. Like I said just shake your head and move on and be glad this isn't the type of game that ends your season.

Man that was close to a hold on Oliver which would have been absolutely massive there.

Sad that we had that kind of performance from the offense and lost the game. We can point to the punt block but this game was solely on the defense and their ability to get off the field today. I just shake my head about this game.

***** it thats terrible that you don't get it in there. Using a TO kills your chances big time.

You have to kick it deep if you score and hope we get a 3 and out

Gotta at least get a FG here.

bull#### Pereira. Holding someones back plate is a hinderance.

Uh thats DPI.

There is no pass interference within 1 yard of the LOS on screen passes

McVay had that one teed up like he knew exactly what Buffalo was going to do there.

It wasn't 4th and 9 at most it was 6 yards. It was 2nd and 3 and Nacua lost 2-3 yards on the run making it 3rd down. Maybe Stafford lost a yard. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. Atwell caught a 12 yard in cut.

McVay was going to go for it either way. He wasn't going to leave it up to his defense.

He was going for it regardless. It was 4th and 5 both times.

False Start on the RT!!!!!

I think it was smart. McVay looked like a man who wanted to go for it there on 4th and 5

I think McVay might go for it.

Only took about 10 times for Epenesa to learn

It was a penalty but at least they got in man and challenged him.

I mean just cover Puka Nacua. Its like back in the day watching Kelce catch the ball over and over on us
