The two teams that beat us already. How will that help? 

 

Home field advantage in the snow and cold isn't worth nothing.

I’m livid with that pick and fumble at the end of this game but you have a 3 score lead in the second half at home and you need to win. The defense choked away several chances and just could not get us off the field. Injuries or not that’s inexcusable and I’m losing a lot of faith in this staff. I hope McDermott takes over the play calling on defense but everyone just eats Fraizers D 24/7 so I’m sure it’s more likely he’d get given the key to the city. He can shove this soft shell passive BS up his ass. I want my defense to play with half the balls as our offense 

 

In truth, I think the offense needs less balls and the defense needs more. I wonder if one can hand some to the other.

No worries!  Let’s just sneak in then be forced to win at Arrowhead!  no big deal at all.

Will the refs ever bail out the bills like they do with Brady and Mahomes? 

They tried to today with the Davis reception, but JA would not have it😭

He does. He just abandons it far too often.

Ok, fair enough. For whatever reason he can't permanently shake the need to always make the big play

They did lol ... Dane Jackson got away with at least 3 PI penalties. 

The refs were very generous in the Bills favor today. One of the rare times I think this has happened.

3 weeks in a row offense doesn't score td in 2nd half, seems like Ken not making right adjustments after halftime

To be fair that Gabe Davis catch wasn’t a catch in the final drive of regulation.

McDermott can turn around a program but he isn't going to win a championship.  Time for the next regime.

Unfortunately i believe this is true.

 

I think we let our good coach go to the giants

One beat us by two in boiling heat with an OL which was so shredded we had someone playing with an ACL injury.

One beat us by three when we handed it to them on a plate.

 

If we can tidy up the errors we beat both. Big if, though.

Bandwagon/fair weather fans are weak of heart. It’s more embarrassing than taking a loss, especially against a team that has lost 1 game, 2 games…y’all need to suck it up or move on to whatever the flavor of the month is. 
 

It’s about entertainment, your not getting a check, relax and enjoy the ride. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Weak. 

 

fans who don’t care are embarrassing.  I don’t see any fair weather fans here.  Most people who are upset have invested sig time, money (tickets, direct tv, etc) over a span including the drought years and would like to see some fundamentals done competently.   No one here “just” became a fan.  That’s fair weather.  And no one here is no longer a fan.  A fan board is where people go to discuss the team: the good and the bad.  If you just want pro bills stuff visit the team’s website.

The loss of Poyer and Hyde is immense on D.  It will be even more evident in the playoffs.

Someone needs to get in Josh’s ear in certain spots and say absolutely need at least 3 here and by no means put the ball in harms way. That needs to happen. Idgaf how sensitive people are about this. We have games to win. Save him from himself period

It won't hurt the Jets maybe help vs Miami. Right now, Miami is a better team than the Bills.

Agree with that. If we only took the big play when it was clearly there, and otherwise checked down and dink and dunked he'd be the best QB bar none. Play is mental as much as physical. Josh has all of the physical skills but mentally he shuts down far too often.

Wtf, we are literally going to score 3 touchdowns on the second half that all ended on turnovers, I told Dorsey to stop calling the turnover play.

[Heathcliff]

5 running backs active on game day. Throw 40 times. We tricked you didn’t we?  WTH?

Game altering plays today that if go the other way we win:

1. Fumble by singletary when we're driving to basically put the game away

2. How do you give up an 81 yard run when up 17?  By letting up and a big wiff of a tackle by #46

3. On 2nd and 2 from the 4, run the fkn ball (by Josh if you wish), 3 straight times if needed.  It would work.  Dorsey short yardage brain fart per usual

4. One handed catch on 4th and 18 - knock the fckn ball down Lewis. Football 101 stuff

4. PI call against #46 on 2nd and 22 - inexcusable

5. Simple center QB exchange fumbled.  Really, how does that possibly happen??

6. Late in regulation a PI is called at the 10.  2 more seconds on the clock, we could have run another play before the FG. 5 seconds left and we can't.

7. Knox almost caught the ball in the endzone in OT.  Pretty blatant PI, no call. 

8. On game ending INT, check down to Singletary instead.  He would have caught it on around the 15 with defenders at the 10 and 5.  Probably doesn't result in a TD (Singletary doesn't do that) but does probably get a 1st down, or at worst, 3rd and very short.

 

There's probably more stuff I'm missing....frustrating.....on to Cleveland

 

It seems we have a number of these every game.  Sometimes we are able to ein, but in every loss numerous errors.  The common theme the last 3 games:  2 half play calling on both sides if the ball, and Josh becoming average.

The Singletary fumble wasn't a fumble so it's a wash there.

We might be there already, I think we won the next 2 games but after that who knows, we could lose out or win after that. A split is probably what will happen and that leaves us out of the playoffs.

What has to happen right now is that we need to beat Miami, beat the Jets, and at least split NE, if not beat them twice.
