Primary Cause of Bills losing to Patriots/Colts/Titans/Steelers

[MJS]

I think that poll is too simplistic. Not even going to answer because it is WAY more complicates than just the caliber of players and coaches.

[noacls]

1. Boettger, Morse, Ford, Feliciano suck. Suppose you could add Williams also. 

2. Star, Butler, Phillips, Harry all replacement level. Soft in the interior. 

3. Edmunds might be the most overrated Bill in history. Soft at point if attack, can't shed blocks, constantly over pursues, constantly gets caught in the wash.

4. Singletary and Moss don't belong on a NFL roster. Slow, indecisive, can't read blocking scheme(Moss). Small and slow.

chalking that one up to "any given Sunday."

Unfortunately that may be the game that keeps us out of the playoffs.

In all four of the other losses, I think the other coaches are simply better head coaches.  Over time given equal rosters I think all four of those coaches win the majority of games vs. Coach McDermott (not all of them, but the majority). Meyer is truly inexperienced at the NFL level (and not at all impressive as a rookie)

Morse was all-pro level when signed by the Bills.  Wayne Teller excelled after leaving the Bills. Is it possible it is more oline coaching than talent?

Immediate pressure in pass protection and complete lack of running game.

Outside of Diggs the WRs are pretty meh at this point in their careers and Davis is too inconsistent. It’s a need this off-season IMO.

 

I don't disagree that WR is an off-season need, but I also don't think it's fair to say that Davis has been inconsistent.  I think his playing time is what's been inconsistent, which is a head-scratcher for me.

 

Sidelining Davis and benching McKenzie has hurt our offense and that is poor coaching/personnel management, IMO.

Are we still "trusting the process"?

Well, we're one of the most penalized teams in the NFL.  Our HC has benched one of the best return men in the NFL, who is also a chain-mover on offense.  And we've stopped letting Josh Allen use his legs in the red zone.

 

I'm gonna say, "no."

He drops too many balls still IMO. 

 

Fair enough, but at this point, I'd rather have him on the field than Sanders.

Knox had that problem in prior seasons and until last week, seemed to have solved the problem. It may take on-field experience to improve this aspect of receiving.

I did except out last week in my comment.

Good question.  You have to think OL coach is on the hot seat

[Chandler#81]

Primary cause? Patriots, Colts, Titans & Steelers outscored us.

 

🤷‍♂️ Pretty simple, really.

 

[Dopey]

If Josh doesn't mess up on the QB sneak, we beat the Titans. If 2 tds aren't dropped and had Breida not fumbled on the NE 30 yd line we beat the Pats. Too bad you didn't provide a 4th option, like:

"Bills offense not taking advantage of plays when presented". Yes, even Allen. 

[Philly McButterpants]

It IS coaching. Stop trying to be “tough” by running the ball. Get up by 14-17 and the opponents run game vanishes, and your D is playing to its strength. 

[Nitro]

Mistakes, self induced, had an impact on those games.  That is on the players.  Lack of execution is on the players. Coaching has been spotty and game plans with the lack of adjustments early in games is a problem.  All these together leads to losses.

Every football game has a unique set of circumstances.  Reasons for winning and losing can certainly vary.  But over time there are certain trends one might notice.  In four of the five Bills losses this season, I think the Bills were clearly outcoached.  There is not a single loss I blame on the other team having better players.   Of course this is an opinion. I am curious as to other peoples opinions. 

Total BS.  Those teams ran over us and we couldn't run.  That is the problem. We drafted a warm weather team.

It seems like players that can't execute might not be good players. 

 

Got it...so Josh Allen isnt good because he lost his footing on the sneak against Tenn.  Diggs sucks too because he didn't haul in the TD against the Pats.  

 

Great analysis there chief *sarcasm*

So you maintain our coaches and players are better than the other teams but they beat us because of weather.  Ok.

so you are saying we keep losing games even though we are outcoaching and outplaying them that day. wierd analysis, but you are entitled to be wierd. 

[TwistofFate]

Offense....in every one of those losses, the offense did not show up.
