Gameday Bills vs Pats* Postgame Thread

[CincyBillsFan]

I have officially joined the Bean/McD skeptic crowd.  Sure they have lifted Buffalo from being a total disaster into a competitive team but their miscues going into this season have been noticeable.

 

Tonight we lost because our team is not built to win in Buffalo or to compete with the Pats.  And whose fault is that?  Bill's management.  During the off season we signed a clever vet WR who ran good routes while ignoring the O-line, TE and RB.  We threw all our resources and draft capital at fixing the D-line and look what we got, a line that could not stop the run when we knew they were going to run.

 

IMO Allen, who is even better then we think, has hid a host of problems on the offense and in the coordinator's room.  I'm still hoping this team can claw it's way into the playoffs for continuity's sake.

They unleashed Josh too late.

He had a lineman barreling down on him, you think its easy to read and throw under those conditions?

Hate to be that guy, but that is literally what he gets paid to do.

Couldn't stop Mac Jones

That happens with 10 men in the box. You break through that first layer and you're gone. 

The question is why we needed 10 in the box to stop the run, and why 10 in the box didn't even get that done.

Pathetic DL and interior linebacking play, and a ridiculous stubbornness on the part of Frazier not to change his personnel on the field in response to what the Pats were doing (running 100% of the time) or not doing (passing, ever, when going against the wind)

Should not have happened and put them at a disadvantage the rest of the way

We were the better team, we were able to throw the ball effectively and we just couldn't get out of our damn way again...dropped passes, stupid penalties in

 

Come on, no they were not.

Game reminds me of the Jacksonville loss in that this was an extremely winnable game.

 

We had all day to make a few plays, put it in the end zone, and go ahead on the scoreboard.

Just couldn't do it.

 

Coaching, execution, play calling strategy, and the wind all played major roles.

Offensive line is the weakest link.  That can't open holes in the run game, can't handle pressure, and really can't out bully anyone.  The greatest offensive flaw is having zero run game to speak of.

 

We just lost to a team that threw 3 passes all game....let that sink in.

When you’re o line is small you run a lot of traps, counters and zone. Anthony Lynn was great at scheming that up. 
 

Daboll is terrible at it and has forced us to be one dimensional 

[WMDman]

welp there goes the playoffs

[Artem Lipatov]

We lost to absolutely one dimensional team ((

If only they had a dome stadium. 🤔

Josh Allen is so goddamn good. He won us that game.

Definitely a bad read. 

And Diggs was wide open on the previous play for a 1st down.

Nobody seems to want to focus on that 

[Juice_32]

Imagine Josh Allen with a running game.

[Dopey]

Close game by two good teams. If I'm playing the blame game, it's certainly not Daboll. We should have scored at least 10 more points. Diggs drops a difficult pass for a TD, but it was there. Knox?!? And that missed FG attempt was fine. It was manageable and if it goes in, we only need a FG to win it. 

This is on the players not executing when the opportunity presented itself. Coaches put them in position to win.

I read comments but rarely post, but I just had to post after this game.  
 

Buffalo must get a good RB, actually 2 good RBs.  Moss had an easy walk in TD if he had any vision to cut to the right.

 

Josh Allen played a great game, especially in these conditions and he just didn’t get enough help. Way too many dropped passes. With the conditions tonight, it’s amazing that drops were an even bigger problem than the wind blowing the ball around.  

 

Edmonds isn’t a first round level LB. I wouldn’t re sign him. Belichick won with 3 pass attempts…sad.

Josh Allen showed he could throw the ball tonight but our running game was so ***** outstanding we chose to try to will ourselves to a win  the game with it.

Every person on this board knows that. How does the coaching staff not know that?????

[Solomon Grundy]

I’m sick right now. Sick of this screwy defensive scheme that can’t stop a bloody nose. Sick of these “playmakers” that lets QB down. Sick of unavailable players. I’m storing my faith away until next season 

[OZBILLS]

Starts at the top. We're weak. Everywhere

 

But eh, culture guys.
