Thank you. The margin of error for our offense is razor thin. Some of these fans should try watching other games. Roethlisberger isn't throwing pinpoint passes for 300 yards a week. The reality is other offenses have receivers that can create plays all on their own. Allen's completions are right on the money with a bad offensive line and bad running game supporting him, and 350+ total yards still isn't enough for some people.

 

 

I think the O-line has gotten better.  Many places, he had a lot more time than a month ago.

 

Bad running game?  He's the best rusher on the field, hands down.  Ivory is an afterthought.  McCoy is ineffective again.

exactly how he should react. At least he's not crying like some college kids, sad.

It's amazing that with essentially every ref on the take (they would have to be since they all rotate to different games), only your friend (outside of the wise guys) seems to be aware of this....

 

Bills-Phins is a "big money game"?

Lots of $$$ to Bills late. Check it out.

GAME RECAP: Bills fall to Dolphins 21-17 in Miami

 

 

Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, F.L.

 

Regular season records: Buffalo (4-8), Miami (6-6)

 

In a nutshell:

 

The Bills were not able to cap off a deceivingly-effective offensive outing with a win, dropping their Week 13 matchup with the Dolphins by a score of 21-17.

 

Buffalo finished the game with 415 net yards, 366 of which can be directly attributed to quarterback Josh Allen. The rookie signal caller finished the game with 18 completions for 231 yards and two touchdowns. He also picked up 135 yards on the ground.

 

Zay Jones was Allen’s most reliable target on the day, finishing the game with four receptions for 67 yards. He was on the receiving end of both of Allen’s touchdown passes.

 

Buffalo’s defense constructed another solid outing on Sunday, holding the Dolphins to just 175 net yards. Lorenzo Alexander, Trent Murphy, and Rafael Bush all recorded sacks in the loss.

 

With the loss, the Bills fell to 4-8 on the season.

A bunch of young guys figuring it out. That’s OK with me. Just keep improving.

Ivory tackled himself, and also caused a fumble! If he was on defense, that would be good.

Spread hadn't changed in 4 days.  Money line hardly moved.

[BurpleBull]

Missed the game. Will watch it in a few hours.

 

Thought this would be a sure win. I figured the Bills would do a number on the Dolphins' offense.

 

I gotta see how the hell we managed to lose putting up 415 yds to their 175.

Don't listen to me, here's what Allen had to say.  Stop being homers! 

 

This is weak. Here's Clay saying it was a good ball and he should have come down with it:

 

 

Welcome to the world of professional sports. Let's be real, it hit his hands he should have caught it. Of course Allen will take the blame.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Today was the most upset I have been after a loss in a real long time. It just sucks knowing how long the offseason is and how long it will be until a game matters again. The Bills had plenty of chances to win today. I was never in the camp of just writing an entire year off. There are to many factors from year to year. I know the Bills weren’t going anywhere but it would have been nice to get a few more weeks out of this season. Now there is an entire month worth of meaningless games. It’s a shame.

My eyes tell me it wasn't a good pass regardless of who said what.  He could have made a play for his QB, but he didn't.

It was one play after McCoy fell down too.

'meaningless' games do suck, but this was really the Josh Allen season anyway. Not very likely we were going to see this squad in the playoffs. 

 

There is reason to watch though, and it is Josh Allen. I want him to sweep the rest of the divisional games. 

[row_33]

Allan takes some blame but that’s what players with heart do, which is encouraging

 

he is zero percent to blame

They weren't going to the playoffs for anyone who was being realistic.

[CNYfan]

Wow.  That was a heart breaker.  

 

I think I like watching Josh Allen play, and I also dream of a future with an Offensive Line and another pass catcher or two.

i agree. he did atleast 90% of what he had to do to help his team win the game.

That was about a third of us....

I put the play on slomo as it happened and it took longer than the winning pass from Burt in The Longest Yard

 

very encouragingly for Josh today, a lot to build on

Bottom line Allen’s contribution this year has far outweighed what Clay has contributed. Allen’s lack of plays has to do with him being a rookie. Clay is veteran well paid TE. Sure, wasn’t a great throw.  But as your highest paid skilled position player outside of Shady you have to come down with that. You have to make your QB look like a hero. Clark did it on the catch with Montana.  Clay had to do it here 

 

With everything Allen has done this year,  all the fans wanted was Clay to finally make one play and earn his contract.  

 

He Didn’t.  

 

So yes he deserves the brunt of what he’s getting.  As a man you have it take responsibility. I give him credit for that. But it’s not like he’s going to throw Allen under the bus.

Anyone else see the no calls on the Pats DB's in the Viking's game?  Clearly they call it different for the Pats.
