I mean I get it cover the ball and take over but Oliver was trying to pick him up. There were 4 or 5 bills defenders ready to lead him into the end zone. its like this constant thought process of good enough. Hey we got the turnover that’s good enough. Hey we got to the 25 yard and can get 3 points that’s good enough. Go for the f’ing throat!!! that said I love this team, the players we’ve brought in, and the coaching staff. But we have brutal schedule next year. We needed to learn from getting to round 2, not giving it away in round 1. The schedule should be the least of the Bills concerns right now. 1

The Bills running game with Singletary was their strength in this game. Gore was a buzz killer. The Bills passing attack is not their strength. Better line and receivers will change that. Josh is young but getting better, he makes dumb plays and he makes extraordinary plays at the same time. Did anyone think this was their year? 1

The Bills asked Josh to attack their weakness, and he mostly struggled to execute. We had a prime opportunity for a big game against a bad defense, and we still couldn't score 20 points. 1 1

BillsMafi$ Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Maybe this was the best thing to happen to this team. Hopefully they’ll realize you can’t play conservative moving forward

The thing is pretty much every team's pass rush is better than our o-line. Our pass protection has been bad all season long and hasn't improved. 1

A lot of that was coaching imo, this team does not seem interested in scoring when they have a lead. The handoff to Gore with 35 seconds left in the half with no timeouts, when they had been moving down the field easily, was the most puzzling play of the game. 6 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: The thing is pretty much every team's pass rush is better than our o-line.

No slants, screens, or any type of quick passes that will negate poor pass blocking. The vast majority of our pass plays take way too long to develop. Also, maybe I'm not noticing it, but where is the check down for when a pass rusher busts through the line unblocked? 1

You know what though, there were a handful of plays in that game where JA had ALL day to throw, but still didn't connect with anybody for a sizable gain.

Im sick of celebrating moral victories and loser teams. I mean, they did have a good season and all, but this game was there for the taking and they let 1 stupid sack turn the entire game. So damn soft. I hope everyone learns from this. This team needs a to find its killer instinct. This game should’ve been put away in the first half. Too many points left on the field. And McDermott needs to stop playing it so safe. A 13pt lead ain’t *****. I honestly hope he learns from this. He’s smart enough to. Edit - I was really aggravated when I wrote this and let my emotions get the best of me. That was a super painful loss. It’s going to take some time to get over this one. I’ve been a fan a long time, and all these painful losses takes a toll. It’s hard to stay positive sometimes. Totally agree. Feel the same way. Really disappointed and disheartened right now. ?
Hit Man #47 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Thought I had seen all the ways to lose over the past 18 yrs..this was a new one..well cue up the draft and free agency conversations 1

Good point. Josh isn't the most accurate passer at this point in his career, and some instances are the receivers not getting much separation. Duke and to an extent, John Brown, don't do the best job of putting space between themselves and the defender.
