The 3rd down sweep was a game killer then throwing on 3 street downs after gore had like 3 stright runs for 7 yards a clip Expand That series was where they lost it. The game was very winnable until then.

The drive to get it to 17-13 was the only time the Bills looked really in-sync. I want the Bills to come out wanting to throw for 300+ & score 30+ points. Been a long time since that was the mindset (yes scored over 40 vs. NYJ & Miami last year)...... Expand I admit, the "winning" part usually gives me the beer-goggles needed to accept any amount of ugly. I mean who among us would scoff at a fugly 1 point victory in a SB? 1

Because they know the QB is by far the most important piece in the whole puzzle, and the thought that Allen isn't what was hoped for is more than your average Bills fan can handle. Expand Nah, most Bills fans are actually used to it. They can handle it just fine. It’s not that simple though; there was a lot wrong out there today besides the QB.
Don Otreply Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Our offense has the pieces to be more dynamic/ aggressive, it’s the offensive theory / game plan that is lacking imo. Sure wish I could do something about this.... Go Bills!!!

The fumble by Allen and then when Allen had brought us back down the field and within a score the drive the defense immediately gave up. There is a lesson from this game that you need an O that can go score for score and we as yet do not. But the other lesson is once a weakness against the run is out there on tape expect every OC to challenge you on it. The Bills have to fix that because the D has to be the better unit on experience and resources allocated. Expand B-I-N-G-O And this is why I am clamoring for a trade for another WR. We just don’t have enough weapons to compete and 1 more draft likely won’t fix that either. This is the NFL and scoring under 24 won’t win you games against the best teams regularly. But with this loss putting us 2 back of the Pats, I doubt Beane makes any moves of consequence because he knows we are likely not challenging for the division.

Expand The big debate on this board in 2017 was Mahomes v Watson. Unbelievably, the Bills, at pick 10, had a shot at both and selected neither. Will haunt us for at least the next decade.

Josh has no one open too often and that’s a big problem. A bad secondary blanketed our WRs today often. It’s not just design. 1

TwistofFate Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 The only thing on display was poor team effort in all 3 phases. Special teams - missed field goal and blocked extra point. Defense - gave up over 200 yards on the ground and unable to get off the field on 3rd. Offense - Josh Allen giving the ball away on our own doorstep, 3 fumbles, missed open Wr's all over the field and poor offensive execution as a whole. All three phases were bad...all three phases contributed to the loss. The Eagles were a desperate team, desperate for a win. Wounded teams are dangerous teams, period. Furthermore they attacked the same spots on defense that Miami exploited last week. Levi is bad..period, and has been exposed. This was just a bad game all around...blame is everywhere. 2

The offense was gifted a fumble recovery deep in PHL territory and couldn’t do anything. That was the beginning of the end of this game. Totally different after that. They just couldn’t hang and the D was gashed, then gassed. Expand I said earlier this year that this "good" defense will not be able to sustain this all year. The lack of consistency on offense will eventually break down the D. It started last week and got worse today. We're not blowing out the Redskins. It will be close, low scoring and again Dumbell will struggle with play selection. I can easily see McB replace Daboll after the season. This so called Belichick disciple is a fail. 1
