Second tweet is a fair point

Silver lining: yeah, now only about a 23% chance of winning the division.

But still a 74% chance of making the playoffs!  (per 538)

And the best news: all road games! Maybe some in domes or So Cal!!

Knox did NOT drop that pass. It was perfectly defended by Phillips to the point where it was basically uncatchable.

 

It was absolutely catchable. The defender made a better play. Knox needs to step up and make the play, period. Especially in light of all of the other plays he screwed up.

 

The Pats had exactly two completions tonight and one of them was a better catch than any catch a Bills player has made this year. I'm just sick of these games where Allen makes ridiculous play after ridiculous play and no one else on offense wants to do the same.

I think we were trying to run down the game clock a little bit that final time to get the last possession and it blew up in our face 

 

Yep...100%...But The way Josh was throwing it they still could not manage much, and then were chasing down and distance again...The throw away plays are killers because it cuts down the margin of error...

 

Anyway...I agree...

We lack speed on offence

The D actually wasn’t terrible.  10 stops on 12 3rd downs.  Have the offense great field position time and time again.  One big play where we didn’t close the gap.  But this was not a loss due to the defense.  This was a lack of offensive execution

 

I mean they let a few big runs but they also had plenty of ones blown up for big losses too.

 

Just irritating the Bills constantly kill themselves with stupid plays or poor execution or mental mistakes. It's like they have the capability to make these plays and it's just like they can't focus in key situations.

One thing that did frustrate me about McDermott was benching Breada after the fumble. A couple of those runs he might’ve been able to pop for a nice gain.

I actually am surprised they don’t run more screens in the red zone.

Guys on the other side make great plays too. The coverage was great.

It really wasn’t…our pride is hurt looking at the box score but the pats really weren’t effective on offense with scoring points. Bill trusted his defense and that our offense would shoot itself in the foot and it worked out for him

The announcers didn’t heap much praise on Allen at all. They commented mostly on any missed throws, but didn’t comment a lot on several great plays he made. If our receivers could have caught the passes, Allen had 3 or 4 highlight reel plays.  

The announcers are useless. I love Diggs but he flat out dropped a fantastic, highlight reel TD throw under those conditions.  Griese is especially bad here.  Mac Jones completed one pass tonight and his WR made a world class catch for a 12 yard gain. In contrast the Bills had 4 dropped balls all at critical times. Two were in the end zone and two would have converted 3rd down and kept alive drives in NE territory.  That was the game.

It was a 33 yarder, I'm not hearing it.

You did see the 15 yard punt?

Hard to say. I mean, it sounds stupid to say that, but we don't know what input Daboll has on personnel decisions. Did he say use draft picks on pass rushers and not O linemen because he thought we were pretty sound there? Bring in Sanders and not a competent fullback or second block-first TE?

He has been terrible all year. The games we lost have often been terrible offensive displays (minus the Titans game). He calls Jet sweeps one game, ignores it for the next 5 games. Calls QB runs, you don't see those runs for weeks at a time. This game he calls no QB runs. In a game where the wind is a disaster, he doesnt run the ball with the only effective runner on the team. It is a joke how bad hes been this year. I wish someone hired him so we had someone who cares more about winning than calling cute plays.

Our offense plays with 1 or 2 downs out of 4.

 

Every run is a wasted play. Pointless.

 

Allen showed the wind wasn't dibilatating and threw some unbelievable passes...but those 1 yard runs up the middle are just so awesome that Daboll couldn't help himself.

Yep...I kept telling my Nephew tonight...They need people to step up to Josh's level all over this offense...And all too often they don't...

I wouldn’t say he dropped it but he had a few drops and plenty of catchable balls and made one nice play out of the lot when we needed two

Poor execution is a problem for sure.  We beat ourselves tonight

[Comebackkid]

so if u go back to the next the last possession and look at the replay after 3rd down.   pats are in a loose zone.   we have on person in the endzone and then all u see is a ton of green field.   i found myself asking where the hell all our offensive players where.   last possession 3rd down.   one person in the zone and diggs in the middle close the endzone and a lot of green grass every where else with the pats in a loose zone.  

 

Daboll hasnt been good in the endzone since the first game of the playoffs last year.   its like he fell and hit his head and never recovered.   

 

they said that the bills are the most in consistent team on record for there giving point differential.    well all u have to do is look at the players....   take knox...makes great plays....   the sux badly...   defense....plays great at times...then has a total brain lapse...

 

the entire team does not play consistent.   they are not a very technically sound team this year.
