1st half thread: Wk 16 Bills at Patriots, 1 pm on CBS

[Augie]

We could be tied with better WR’s. THAT is crazy. As ugly as this is.....I can live with it so far. Again, I don’t need to win, I need to see flashes of hope. Run D is the most depressing part, and that can be fixed. I know OL and WR would suck.

It's a shame the Bills are so lousy that they can't take advantage of a NE passing game that is struggling.

Coincidence that Ford gains more yards than McCoy?

McD getting taken to the woodshed today.

This team is not prepared. 

Bingo! End thread.

Looking like a shutout today if we have no FG kicker.  Shame

You don't need to defend Allen, it was a bad throw and a bad matchup to go to with Gilmore blanketing him. And don't give me any #1 WR would have caught it, guess what the Bills have Foster out there and Allen knows that.

It was a horrific 4th and 3 playcall.  Awful.

[DuckyBoys]

Only guy that can get open is Foster  Kind of limits you as a qb  Zay M.I.A. again  Cant get open against man

[Tcali]

allen now  needs to throw the ball as far as he can at least twice.

Foster should have two TDs.

How so? No receiver in the league catches that bomb given the sun issue. The second one was blanket coverage.

[Wayne Cubed]

Annnnnnddd they are running in hopes of just getting into the locker room.

[Steptide]

What a pathetic half

I don’t think we will ever see a Sean McDermott-coached team beat a Bill Belichick-coached team, no matter who is quarterbacking.  It’s men vs boys, just like it’s always been for the past 18 years. 

Lets see what happens when we have comparable talent. That's been the biggest problem the past 18 years

Finally a GOOD take...

 

Really wondering how much Milano being out is affecting the run D (and Edumuds, they're a play making tandem).

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Youre 5 and 9. You claim everything is a learning experience. Why run the clock out there?

Well, I mean most of our guys are earlier twenties so...

You are right.  Everything is according to plan.  And this garbage is completely acceptable.  Come on man. 

[TheFunPolice]

So frustrating...

 

Brady looks 60 years old Gronk can barely move but our garbage offense cannot do anything

[1st&ten]

 

Not crazy about Dabol's play calling

[whatdrought]

This has been a rough first half, but it's really not as far away as it seems. 

 

We're two missed plays from tied which means that we're 2 plays away. We'll see how we adjust and come out at halftime.
