Can someone please explain to me what Jordan Philips did to get an Unsportsmanlike on the TD? Also what was illegal about our formation on that last drive? Was either penalty legit?

When the commentators do not speak to much on the call, or show the replay you know it was a paid call. Watch how some penalties they replay, some they don't. And sometimes the refs do not even call the players number. RIGGED.

Keep building the Oline!!!!! And get Josh a WR who can be physical and Get a true #2 RB (FA Jordan Howard)...

Here! Here!  And get an edge disrupter and someone on the DL who can tackle.

This game comes down to Qb play...bottom line.   If you deny it, you are in fantasy land. 

 

If Allen throws two accurate passes to Knox, we win. 

 

If he doesn't vastly improve next season on his accuracy, we really need to look at Qb position.   It is really the only thing holding back this team. 

 

This was a winnable game. Mistakes were made by a couple different players, but Allens accuracy is the main reason we lost. 

Well put.  Everyone from the radio announcer to the TV analysts say the same the same

The hate is strong with you

I want to be proven wrong.  That last pass to Knok was a microcosm of what is wrong woth Allen.

We sat on the lead when it was 17-13.  We should have been going for the jugular.

I agree,  we crawled into our conservative fetal position at 17-13 right on schedule. We never continue to stay aggressive and Belichick knew this. I'm so sick at how timid this coaching staff is.

You're shocked we sat on a lead?  That is what McD does.

The key in this game was when we were up 17-13, and came up like 1 inch short on that third down JA scramble. Would have been a totally different game if we had converted and maybe got a FG out of that drive.

Could have been brave and gone for it.  Belichick has done it.  Go big or go home.

on to the playoffs

It would be glorious to see them then beat them in the playoffs this year.

If they continue to neglect skill offensive skill positions in the draft this year I’ll lose my dang mind. The one thing I question about Beane.

You really can’t beat any good team scoring 17 points.  

You can, but not when the defense plays without fundamentals or pass rush , and gets rolled on for 400+ yards. The Bills don’t have the offensive personnel yet to consistently score more vs a top defense.

Too much vinegar.

And the elbow Brady threw at Oliver after he tackled him by the goal line.  You do that to Brady and the flags would be flying 

 

He tried to trip Oliver earlier after he'd planted him.

When Ed's got some veteran presence he'll learn to take the opportunity to step on his hand when offered the opportunity. 

 

[Lurker]

Curiously passive defensive game plan.    No real pass rush, single coverage on Edelman way too often (and then with a nickleback or LB more than our best coverage people), poor LB play against the run and above all--too many missed tackles.    

 

The offense played about to form.   We're extremely limited having just two viable WRs and a 50/50 rookie TE.     That said, do we ever throw to the RB?   Or run a short outlet route to the TE?   

 

The Bills put up a good fight but the better, more experienced team won.   This is a good learning experience and should help as a tune up for Houston...

Not just one person to blame but I think this one mostly goes on josh Allen. His stats look fine and his big plays made him look alot better but 95% of the game he couldn't make the simplist throws and gave up massive sacks and put his defense on the field the entire game. If he played remotely decent in the first half of both games against the Pat's the Bill's win both.

 

You sure that you know what "%" means?

[tcampbell104]

can we use the jets game like a preseason game? let allen work on timing with the receivers on the deep ball. i know its a stupid idea but this team is probably not going far in the playoffs if josh doesnt start hitting them

That was the worst series of the game. 3 straight run plays and we punt. I don't know how an NFL OC can't evaluate a game in real time and realize what isn't working. The QB sweep has been figured out. We need to take it out of our play book.

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Either way we need to get through the officiating first then the Patriots. 

 

If any sports team ever gets taken out in a airplane crash I hope it’s the Patriots

That will not happen. This offseason will be about retaining their defensive talent and adding weapons to a limited offense. 

[Tatonka68]

Bills should of ran a fake punt when the Pats had no one back to recieve. Easy TD.
