Again behind a pay wall, so no link. His analysis for the Pats game was pretty simple. The Pats had a brilliant defensive game plan that had Allen off schedule most of the game. Pats would consistently rush 5 or 6, and then play a soft zone behind to take away hot crossing routes. As they fell behind, it got worse as Allen failed to take some easy plays in an effort to get bigger--ultimately failed-- plays. And he got flustered by lots of hits. Notwithstanding all that, the Bills were still able to take the lead with less than 2 minutes left, when there was an utter fail by the Bills defense. On the first Pats play on their final drive, he shows that the lineman down field penalty/non- penalty was a close call, as Andrews was around a yard plus downfield. Over a yard is a penalty, but that seems to be why they picked up the flag. Bottom line is that the Pats defensive scheme was the main driver here. It was not the O-line as much as the scheme that left more pass rushers than blockers. Combined with a failure to be able to run consistently and losing the turnover battle, pretty much a recipe for a loss on the road. Not much to say here except the Bills offense has to have its stuff together early, particularly on the offensive side mentally. It is confounding, but the Bills need to right the ship, and in a hurry.

You are right. But with four of our best defenders out, not surprising. Basically we need the offense to be exceptional at this point. Mac Jones was a blind squirrel on Sunday, he finally found a nut. It won't last. I'd rather be the Bills than the Pats, cause that team sucks.

Me either. Despite the futility, I like being a Bills fan.

It's horrible when you have absolutely no control or input into something that matters a great deal to you. The life of a Bills fan.

Not good apparently

So depressed

it's over. Defense is in shambles. To come back and then the defense plays like that? It's over

so sad

a ***** embarasment. Back to the drought

Effing sucks!

What else can you do?

It is against the spread.

It's some guy named Marc Lawrence in Las Vegas. Basic point is Bills are 1-7-1 in last 9 years in week 7, and this is week 7. Meaningful.

And because so very many people said he was going to be a bust when drafted. Few people want to admit they made a mistake, so they pounce on everything he does to sustain their initial incorrect opinion.

Nah, rain in AM, cloudy afternoon. 57 and 13 MPH winds. Paradise.

That statement does not make walking around sense. You have no idea what the lay of the land will be in January. Your statement assumes the Bills will be 10-7 and eliminated in round 1 of the playoffs. But that is just your supposition, nothing more. And asking people if they are happy with your pessimistic supposition is just dumb.

True dat.

Agree. People seem to think it is automatic for an offense/athlete to always bring its "A" game and score 48 points like against Miami. Sports don't work that way. You don't always have your A game, and winning with your C game is the mark of a great athlete-- like great pitchers in baseball.

Tried to do it but failed. Just go to BN sports page, it's right there. It's funny, the word sn*tched is not a permitted word on the forum. 🙂

It is behind a pay wall so I won't link it, but he has a very different take on the Giants game. In a nutshell, he shows that in the first half, the Giants did an excellent job of taking away what the Bills want to do-- an explosive offense. A combination of good blitzes, and excellent man-to-man coverage aided by lots of tripping and clutching and grabbing by the Giants, utterly spoiled the Bills game plan. Allen was 8-18. In the second half, Dorsey totally changed course and went with a ground and pound running approach that worked. In their first two possessions (they only had three) the Bills had two long time consuming drives that used up most of the clock. 17 run plays and only 11 passes, and it nullified what the Giants successfully did in the first half. Allen, with pressure off due to a solid running attack, was 10-11 in the second half, the incompletion being the pass to Knox late. On that play, Allen had a run/pass option, and he hesitated in his decision making. He thought about running and held the ball a tad too long before making the throw to Knox. The result was a poor throw that still could have been caught. But the play call was excellent and should have ended the game but the execution was poor. I know everyone hates Dorsey right now, and I guess it is understandable and perhaps warranted. But his ability to change approach in the second half and ***** victory from the jaws of defeat deserves some credit IMO.

How do you know he has an AC joint sprain?

Lamar with a near pic floater.

Tannehill is done.

Ravens should have come over on Friday. They seem to be blowing a lead. Oh,never mind, it's their MO.

Nah it's Smoking Man from the X-Files...
