Answer: Defence

 

 

 

Wrong.

 

They lost because they were on the road.

 

0-4 in the playoffs on the road and 3-0 at home under McDermott.

 

They were on the road because they lost 3 games in a 5 game stretch in the regular season where they scored 15, 10 and 9 points because the OL couldn't block and they didn't have any YAC talent to help Josh Allen get the ball out quick and still make plays.  

 

 So they had to go into panic mode and use Josh Allen like a RB to slow the opposing pass rush down.   After Allen got hurt in Tampa they tried to not let Allen run against Carolina and he got sacked 4 times and the offense labored. 

 

Yeah,  if you are willing and able to use your franchise QB as a battering ram the offense is fine, though. :thumbsup:

 

The divisional game was just the only time ever that two teams coming off 40 point games met in the playoffs.    A perfect storm.   And had they not pulled their horns in offensively earlier in the second half they win that game in regulation.    McD kept thinking his defense was going to make plays.   Neither defense could.

You spelt the 2nd word of your thread wrong bro. All credibility is lost. 

And offensive line was the weakest position without a doubt last season…. It still is one of the weakest positions entering next season. 

 

I have a feeling @ScottLaw was being ironic? "Spelt" is British for the past tense of "spell", just as "defence" is the British spelling.

The 13 seconds was coaching.  The whole GAME was defense - and we saw bad defense at other points in the season, like the Taylor game.

 

We did NOT have a #1 defense last year.  Marginal top 10, maybe.

 

And defense wins championships.  I support the offseason focus on D completely.

Answer: Defence

 

Remember that when you’re banging the table for fancy offensive picks.

 

what are the 3 positions of weakness according to this board?

 

Answer: CB, RB and LB

 

….you see a trend here 

 

maybe not your fav picks but there’s a reason we do what we do and the front office does what they do

Well no, those aren’t the only reasons but i see where you’re going with this and I like the bills’ picks so far, especially Elam

So you're saying the answer is to draft based on need and not BPA.  Revolutionary.

We lost because our players didn't spell as well as theirs.

Agreed the 13 seconds was a bad coaching decision….BUT the coaches didn’t give up 42 points to the other team


Their gameplan contributed to that. 
 

Also, McD has been given many years and really an abundance of resources in terms of signings and high round draft picks to build a D that can come up with a big stop or two and he simply hasn’t done the job. 
 

He hasn’t been up to that task or been able to adequately manage a big game and it’s hurt us so badly in both of the last two years.

Coaching ….… partly due to Levi and Dane not being fast enough.  Partly due to not communicating properly with the kicker. 2 ridiculous moments and we failed miserably

Because of a coin toss.  Also, because coaching left the gate of the de"fence" open in the last 13 seconds.  If only there were 10 seconds left instead of 13...oh well.  Still a sore subject.

 

Although, if we had to not make the big game I'd rather have lost to the Chiefs instead of the Bengals.  Could you imaging if we had lost at home to the Bengals?  The Bengals!!  Dear Lord, the horror!  Glad it happened to the Chiefs though. :-)

Coaching and having a cb2 with no speed.. 

...and super soft prevent D with no KC receivers getting touched off the line of scrimmage in the final :30 seconds of that game!

Why isn’t it offencive line?
