Oops, forgot who I was responding to.😜 That has been MIA of late. They are specifically taking that away from the Bills. You honestly need to go take a class and learn about the game of football.

But I agree with the fundamental point. Running and stopping the run is pretty fundamental to winning, and those are clearly the Bills weaknesses. As someone said, if they had Morse, and Feliciano, running probably would look better. If Beane had one do over, I'd bet that it would be that he would have found a a big guy to play the 1-tech. Did Beane know Star wasn't going to play this season? Also we were linked to DJ Reader before he went to Cincy. Beanes biggest gaffs in free agency to me were Butler, but thankfully he can be cut next year and over paying Klein and not adding depth to our LBs. Edited November 16, 2020 by The Jokeman

But he knew he needed a second guy, and I thi k mostly he was thinking Philips would be that guy. He did a lot of work on the D line, but he didn't get a true backup for Star.

Fair enough but agree I think most thought Harry play up to his rookie level which he hasn't.

Star may not be a Pro Bowler but he sure is vital.

Only if they figure out how to stop the run. Its pretty sad watching Arizona run the same run play over and over and the Bills not being able to stop it. Your coach needs to be better at half time adjustments but I don't see that ever happening as he has never done it.

You dont have to defend Beane to me. In his job, he makes a lot of decisions, and I do t expect that he will get them all correct. That's impossible. He just missed on the middle of th D line. I thought Harry would be fine behind Star, and he might have been. But it turned out that without Star, Harry couldn't do what was needed.

This team is gonna be BATTLE TESTED by playoff time. Way more so than last season. 7 of their 10 games this year have been against teams that are 6-3 or better. Thats madness.... With the 9-0 steelers and 6-3 fins still on tap. 1

Do they really? show us the breakdown of long pass plays then. You are just ridiculous. You don't care that they lost yesterday, all you care about is whether they have long pass plays because to you that's exciting.

I'm just putting it out there as sometimes people think I'm overly critical, like yesterdays loss I'm much like you as upset but it hasn't made me hate on this team yet in other threads I was critical on Josh but moreso because felt he played bad then hate him as tbh I hated that we lost the game for him after he did bring us back etc.

On the other hand its hard not to appreciate the significance of the play. What it meant for Arizona and Kyler Murray. The astonished look on some of the Cardinals players was priceless. With a day to let my emotions get back to normal. It was a great play. I think when its talked about the valiant effort from Josh Allen will also be remembered. Two of the NFL's new greats taking it to the wire... Edited November 16, 2020 by Figster 3

What major mistakes? There's a difference between major mistakes, and ordinary mistakes that have large consequences. Penalties are ordinary mistakes, but every once in a while a penalty is a game changer. I thought the the Bills played pretty well, but made some mistakes. Same could be said about Arizona. The two Allen INTs and the fumble probably are major mistakes, but even those are routine events in a football game. The Bills did have one horrible string of penalties, but I don't think that's a major mistake - that's just a lot of penalties coming together. You want the team to play tentatively after they've gotten two penalties in a row. I don't think the Bills lost because of mistakes. They lost because they can't run the ball and they can't stop the run. Those aren't mistakes - that's poor coaching, poor talent, or a combination of both. That's coaches and players presumably doing their best, but their best isn't enough to get the job done. What are the major mistakes you're thinking of?
