Hollins needs GPS to track a ball. He’s hopeless on those deep throws.

It shows how bad this passing offense is that Baltimore’s secondary was roasted in their first 3 games, the Bills couldn’t do anything against them, and Burrow just toasted them again.

Coleman will now be on a blooper reel for that pass to his head. Boing!

And one is a long pass to Hollins. That guy couldn’t track a ball even if it had GPS.

They asked him where he was and he said “Kansas City. Playoff game. 13 seconds.” They said it was Houston 32 seconds but you’re close enough.

Yes

Xbox injury?

Nah, they have freakin’ Terry McLaurin!!

He'll serve a suspension while on IR.

Look at his catches vs targets. He’s comparable to Gabe Davis in drops. I saw him a lot when he was with the Raiders. He’d make a great play on a tough catch, then next time they throw to him he’s wide open on the sideline for a first down and he’d drop it. If they can get him cheap I’d go for it though. He’d be better than everybody we had. I’m thinking Curtis Samuel may be another “we had him in Carolina” player.

That 2nd and one scenario was pathetic. Let’s run it into the line. Hmm, that didn’t work. Let’s try it again. Hmm, well they’ll expect something else so let’s run it into the line again. Duh! Yeah, last year Ogbanna was the change of pace running QB, although not that productive. Now that he needs to pass also, he’s a liability. With the way it is now with the NIL, how do you entice a decent QB? Maybe somebody gets beat out of starting job at a Power 5 school and wants to start. Linguists leaving in the spring didn’t help. Was Snyder already gone when the coach quit?

Yeah, at this point I don’t understand signing Samuel for so much. He doesn’t even start because the coaching staff finally realized Shakir is best in the slot and he’s been like just a gadget player so far, and not that effective. Wasn’t he supposed to have 4.3 speed? If so, it isn’t being utilized properly. He’s not that elusive on those WR screens.

Can you imagine Drew Bledsoe with the pass rush they faced? Likely double digit sacks, a few fumbles and maybe a couple INTs thrown in.

The shine of the first 3 games turned out to be a mirage.

I don’t think the coaches had the team prepared to play for this game. I had suggested that they should forego the nickel package and start a 3rd LB. It wouldn’t have mattered on that Henry 1st play TD. They didn’t contain, the Ravens blocked it well and the Bills had nobody that was fast enough to catch Henry. After that, it seemed every play the Ravens ran, they got 5 yards before contact. Then when the Bills got the ball and the Ravens defenders were on them immediately. Best O-line in the league, my arse. The Bills defense came out in the 2nd half more aggressive but it was short lived. I agree that the play discussed in this thread probably changed the momentum of the game, but Josh was running for his life the whole game.

I agree. I thought the same thing. Josh tried to make a play when the better move would’ve been to take a sack.

I was looking at stats and noticed that Josh’s QB Rating is 133.7. It’s been only 3 games but that’s incredible.

I think they need to scrap the full time nickel for this game and play a 3rd LB.

I just hope this is the new standard and they don’t peak too early in the season.

This team has and continues to remind me of my Golden State Warriors beginning with their 2015 team. They both have a unicorn leader who sets team and league records (even obscure ones like this one) and the team does the same. After many years of futility, they both became one of the best teams in their league. They both have also been fun to watch. Unfortunately, while the Warriors have made several Finals, winning four, this Bills team has yet to achieve that success. Those Warriors teams just had the “it” factor with players and coaches that knew how to win under the pressure of clutch times in big games. Hopefully, this Bills team can get over the hump.

I noticed a couple plays where Williams didn’t seem big enough or strong enough, getting pushed back by the ball carrier.

I thought it was odd that after one TD (first?) they showed a shot of the coaching booth where Brady was stoic while everyone else was whooping it up. Maybe they missed Brady’s initial reaction.

They pulled it out despite being outplayed. The 2008 win over Ball State in the MAC Championship game was their only other win over a ranked team. I had no idea what to expect from this team based on the last 2 years. I haven’t been that impressed with Ogbanna, running or passing, but he seems to come up with a couple of big plays each game. Running game is weak. The defense seems to be carrying them.

So, will this Bills organization snag him or let him get away? He’s like Milano 2.0 and considering Matt is injury-prone, he could help immediately .

Yeah, that was awesome. It was like the UMass players didn’t think he’d run it out.
