We’re 7-5 despite one of the easiest schedules possible.

The Bills have lost 4 of their 5 games by one score or less.

 

You can callout bad plays here or there, but this team is inches away from 11-1 in all honesty.

 

titans game comes down to the end

jags game down to the end

pats game down to the end

pitt game to the end

 

i said 13-4 to start the year, it’s looking more like 11-6.  We have had one bad loss.  In my opinion we are just as good as we were last year.  We just aren’t getting bounces our way.

 

but the fire

mcd and cut Knox callouts are so dumb it’s comical

Everything else aside, if our receivers catch even half the dropped passes, we win. There are big issues with this team, but Josh is a winner in spite of the play calling and he threw some beautiful passes that were just dropped. Coach McD might want to say the word execution less and do something about it in practice.

Back to Bills letting us down. The confidence we had heading into the season is long gone

 

Unfortunately this is pretty much how I feel. I was silently pretty confident we were going to lose this game before it even started. Not because I thought the Pats are worldbeaters, but because we are weak on both lines and somehow the Offense has lost its clutch gene.

It’s a finesse, try-to-trick-em offense…doesn’t work in the red zone.

We got forced into getting into the red zone twice against the wind…it’s hardly a try to trick em offense lol

Anyone out here blaming Allen needs their head examined. 

 

period.  

He's the only reason we had a chance period.

I was talking to friends while watching the game and the one thing they commented on was how Allen almost never has time to throw.  The stats that claim he has so many seconds are complete analytics BS.  They simply reflect Allen's ability to extend plays.

 

 

Allen most definitely masks a lot of issues with this offensive line. I'd say that that both guards and center can be upgraded.

I said this in the GDT. Why was Griese going on and on about that pats safety who made that last play? It seemed like josh threw it to the wrong spot there— I don’t know what he was seeing (was he going to sanders? Or did he think Beasley was sort of cutting back?). In any event, i am not sure that safety does anything except stand there.

If this game isn't a plea for a dome, I don't know what is. All this "teams should be afraid to come in and play us in the snow" is pretty worthless because we suck worse in the snow. We can't run the ball and we can't stop the run. 

 

How does a dome help us stop the run?

I for one am sick of Allen making superhero plays that his teammates drop. It has been a problem since his rookie year. Knox has been better this year but he will never lose his inconsistent hands. Three years in this is the player he is. We should have traded for Ertz. He has been terrific for the Cardinals.

That requires a smart GM which Bills

don’t have. 

[Barnaby Wilde]

Why are people hitting on Diggs?  Knox killed in the team in first quarter.  Fk Knox.  Just get rid of him and bring anybody who can ***** catch a ***** football right in the hands. ***** him.

Looked like he was trying to thread it between the defenders since he did have Davis.

The pitt game didn’t come down to the end. They scored in garbage time to make it a one-score game, but the game was effectively over.

Maybe Leslie and Shaun would coach the LB and DB to not rush into the line pre snap and actually read and react.  They got killed overplaying all night long and the OC needs to be fired immediately.  First and 10 on 15 need to get a first down and you call a run up middle that has not worked all day. Same on othe first and goal from 7.  Throwing red flag to challenge placement was plain stupid

At some point you’ve gotta start winning some close games though…they’ve got the potential to play like a great team but we are definitely not there at the moment and it’s a bit disappointing to say the least

fixed for you.

No, I like those two. Daboll is an idiot. leaving Mckenzie and Stevenson out of the game and getting rid of jet sweeps, not calling a single qb designed run. The guy is an F*ing BOZO.

I see a bunch of people blaming coaches in this 1 but I'm putting this loss on the players, on offense dawson Knox had 3 dropped passes and a killer false start penalty, Stefon Diggs dropped TD, Tyler Bass missed a huge FG, Matt brieda fumbles that lead to the damien harris TD run and the horrid Bills defense that allowed run after run and lost to a offense that had 1 pass especially after getting blown out by the Colts they had to come in this 1 with a chip on their shoulders and they got smacked around.

Not the first to say it here, but really: Belichick didn't even consider attempting a FG into the wind. They threw Bass out there only because the offense went backwards so that going for it on 4th down wasn't an option. Bass deserves no blame whatsoever.

I thought the wind took the ball and pushed it down and left
