Once again, in order to win this game, the defense has to be near perfect.

The defense is the reason we are losing 

[njbuff]

Can the Bills just forfeit games against NE?

 

Nothing EVER changes, no matter how good the Bills are.

 

They are ALWAYS BRUTAL against NE.

D is gonna be gassed 

[Playoffs?]

Allen needs to be more decisive and accurate. You’ll never beat a Pats D like this if you can’t get rid of it quickly and catch them off guard. 
 

Every time I get high on Allen, he reminds us why he isn’t ready to dominate anything yet. 

[Formerly Allan in MD]

Would someone please advise the Bills they're allowed to pass on second down.  Once a game they do it on first down but you can only be original so often.

This feels like a preseason game.

Show nothing

Get out healthy

See you when it counts

Then why the @#@# would you play your starters?

[NewEra]

In the first half, we’ve seen exactly why the world think Josh allen sucks. He needs to use his legs more.  It’s the most dangerous aspect of his skill set considering his accuracy issues

Well this is the #1 D in the league 

Josh is still off today. The plays are there to be made.

Good DB play.  Three and out.  This is what gasses a defense.  

Letting teams drive for 10 minutes gases defenses

That’s never, ever being overturned. Ever. It’s so rare to overturn a spot, it has to be blatantly obvious. Having an incorrect spot to start and then having the player in a mess of bodies is not a recipe for an overturn. Absolutely need a clear view. It would have just been burning a timeout in that situation. 

What are we saving the TO for? I’d rather gamble the 20% chance they overturn it and burn the time out, and maybe fire my defense up. Rather than concede a close call and points on the board.

Like to see more pressure by the d on passing downs

I’ve decided Buffalo isn’t even trying to win this game. Basic defense and no blitzing. Very very vanilla and a stark contrast from what we’ve done. 
 

Let’s see if I’m wrong. If they don’t start bringing the heat it’ll be obvious. 

I've decided that Josh isnt a quarterback.  I've puffed a ton of Josh hopium, but you cant continue to miss open guys and be good in the nfl.

[zow2]

It’s not Josh.  They’ve played Ravens, Steelers and Pats.. 3 tough D in a row.

Mckenzie caught a pass!!!!!

If he had then ran vertically would have had the first down

So the Pats line up their top DB on their best WR Smoke Brown every play, the Bills put their 3rd or 4th best DB on arguably the Pats best WR Edleman. One team is playing smart the other is out coaching themselves

We hardly ever move CB's.

I’ve been saying since we drafted Allen. He is not the answer and will continue with that 

This is why I have avoided GDTs all season, and have been better for it. Middle of second half, in playoffs, against the PATRICHEATS, we have the no.2 defense in the league, down 10-3 and people calling for a new QB.

Time of possession: 18:53 to 7:46 in Pats favor
