Jeebus Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 There is blame all around, I do feel that the O-line was by far the worst part. Basically the whole team went full retard and forgot how to tackle or block
ctk232 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) We're 5-3 guys, come on. Not 3-5. Was this a game we all wanted and for sure, should've won? Absolutely, nothing ruins my weekend more. 6-2 is no doubt a better place than 5-3 but we're halfway through the season. What happened last night was a complete turnover differential reversal. This is a good team, but their wins have come from being on the right side of the differential. If the team lacks consistency, the differential can swing at any moment and that's what we saw happen last night. Porous defensive/offensive lines prevented us from establishing an offense, and controlling a line of scrimmage. The team that didn't show up to the beginning didn't show up to the second half either. I wouldn't get too worked up over this loss until we see how the team responds with a 10 day mini bye and goes up against a tough NO team. I say it every year to my friends who ask me when the Bills start winning if this is the year - I won't make a judgment call on that until week 10. Terrible loss, but the blame is on the entire team.

CodeMonkey Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I think the blame falls on the players/coaches/fans who thought that the Bills being +2 or more every game in turnovers was sustainable. Obviously it is not. That, IMO, is one of the biggest reasons the Bills are over .500 right now.
NewEra Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Mr. Offensive Line Coach That guy needs to go. This.

I totally agree, when we started the season there were plenty of people that thought we would only have this amount of wins by the end of the season, yet we are there by the halfway mark... one bad game, and oh god was it horrible, doesn't break a season.
John from Riverside Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 There has GOT to be a better OL coach then the one we have
Sweats Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 There has GOT to be a better OL coach then the one we have And what exactly is that better O line coach going to do with a polished turd?
Kirby Jackson Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 And what exactly is that better O line coach going to do with a polished turd? They have the same guys as last year plus a rookie 2nd round pick. They looked good last year. They have looked good the last few weeks. Last night was awful.
Koko78 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 And what exactly is that better O line coach going to do with a polished turd? I don't think any amount of new coaching will be able to stop Ducasse from sucking and consistently getting pushed backwards into the pocket.
Dante Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I blame Thursday games. One or both teams usually suck. Should be discontinued. Players not recovered fully from the previous Sunday. Little prep for the teams. Bad, bad idea the NFL had trying to milk more money. Edited November 3, 2017 by Dante
Sweats Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I blame Thursday games. One or both teams usually suck. Should be discontinued. Players and team not near being physically ready that quickly. Would you still feel this way if the Bills throttled the Jets last night?
BillsfanAZ Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 They have the same guys as last year plus a rookie 2nd round pick. They looked good last year. They have looked good the last few weeks. Last night was awful. Last night was awful. Both this season and last season their pass protection has been inconsistent. They looked good against the Raiders but you never know which Oline is going to show up.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 The rest of the OL was horrid beyond Vlad the Impostor.
BuffaloMatt Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 So we get torched for 200 yards on the ground and assign top blame on the offensive coordinator lol. Yes- our offense on field their offense doesn't have ball.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 So what exactly was TT supposed to have done better? 29 of 40 for 285, 2 TD and 0 int. And he's a big part of us losing. I certainly don't think TT is the second coming of Brady, but we could be much worse too. This hatred of him is really laughable. DL 25%TT 25%TO's 25%Dennison 13%OL 12% It seemed to be a somewhat heartless effort. Guys just seemed to be going through the motions. To me, the blame for that goes collectively to the leaders, which would be: McDermott Kyle Williams Tyrod Taylor The guys charged with holding people accountable did not do their jobs.
Wayne Cubed Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 For me its: OL - 30% DL - 30% Rico - 25% McD - 7.5% Turnovers - 7.5% The OL was bad, they faced a good front but the Bills had all but shut down Gerald McCoy and Mack in consecutive weeks. And while the OL was bad the DL was just as bad. The Jest certainly deserve credit for going after Washington/Thornton, this 2 has the worst gap discipline Ive seen in some time. The Jest saw it and ran it down the Bills collective throats. To add to the DLs poor run stopping ability, they were just as bad generating pass rush.
