Singletary is a pretty good receiver, but they never throw him the ball anymore. Instead the draft Cook and trade for Hines. It's silly.

I think Singletary has been a good back when given the chance this year.   I think they've continually tried to replace him because his ball security tends to be an issue.

A very Billsy loss

 

The thing is, this regime is really good at own-foot-shooting.  They have come up with a whole arsenal of ways to lose games.  It is impressive in a grotesque way.

Greg Cosell has said that running the the ball steadies the offense, we don’t need to become the Cleveland Browns, I’m not advocating that.

 

But how is chucking it constantly working for us the past two weeks?

 

Only the Bills seem to run for two TDs early and then completely ignore it for an entire half. 

 

We couldn’t run the ball past the first quarter

The ending int strikes me as both a bad decision by Allen but also likely as a bad route run. When the pick is made; 3 Bills are at the the back of the end zone. It is very likely Davis was supposed to run along the goal line and instead went angling deep. 
 

Allen needs to be better as a whole with playing safe but his throw wasn’t a blind toss into triple coverage. It was a bullet meant for a guy near the goal line with nobody there.

Who knows? What is know is that Allen and Davis have to be on the same page. Under those conditions they are no excuses. Allen had all day to throw that ball. Why are they challenging the Vikes best CB? Throwing in the middle of the field which is the most likely area for a INT. A colossal fail on every level. This team is so disappointing. At least now the Super Bowl talk should be put to rest.

😂 kidding… 

 

sorry I just needed to add comic relief after all these bad takes. 
 

problem…  17 and everyone else needs to be situationally better. Everyone. Coaches, defenders everyone. 5-10 plays were not executed well. 

 

the replacement level secondary is not good. It’s the number two at every spot. They are a preseason secondary. 
 

Vikes had great success in the middle of the field after maine left. Dodson isn’t even 50% as good in zone. 
 

pass rush didn’t get home. Blitzing might have been necessary. Kirk is not good, but he has time often. 

 

why does this team refuse to run medium and deep crossers like they used to own Miami with ?? 
 

josh needs to sometimes take what defense gives him and not play second and two like it’s 4th and 20. 
 

and once again, a re signed playmaker gets both hand on a ball in this case for the win, and can’t deliver. I’m looking at you knox. 
 

sign obj.

Groot was a first bit a second but your point remains - roaster management is a real issue.  They activated SIX rbs today - Jones, Cook, Gil, Duke, Motor and Hines.  Yet they did not run the ball in the second half AT ALL up 17.  What are you activating them for?

 

yeah… beyond inexcusable.

you so funny!!!

I really don’t want to hear Schopp talking about how Vegas still has the Bills as Super Bowl favorites as he drags every show into his mental state.

Offense put up 30 points.  

 

I said this earlier in the year, if our offense puts up 23+ points, we should win a game.  Offense put up 27 before the last second field goal to push it to OT

This isn't 1995 anymore.  Offense is the name of the game.  Defenses can only hope to slow teams down.   This offense scored 6 points over the final 40 minutes.

This team can't get it done on both sides of the ball. It's a good team but not a great team. I think it's safe to say Allen has regressed, secondary can't get healthy, run defense stinks, the offensive game plan and calling is poor, the WR besides Diggs are inconsistent, and the team is very good at losing close games. Good news is the Bills are 6-3 but it feels more like 3-6. Don't know how the Bills turn around the season.

Zach Wilson outplayed him last week too. 

not really - Zach honestly can't outplay anybody.  I'd say the NYJ defense outplayed the Bills D and we were severely outcoached.

Davis absolutely needs to be between the defender and the QB on that route, or he's not open. But Allen had plenty of time to see that it didn't happen, so I don't know why he threw it.

Spot on!

Earned several benefits of the doubt? What does this even mean?

 

How many examples of bad coaching have we been subjected to?

 

How many playoff heartbreaks?

 

How long and to what degree do these "benefits of the doubt" last? Do they expire, or can he use on each year he fails to get this team to meet their expectations? Maybe he uses two if they miss the playoffs entirely?

 

This team has a window, and you could argue this is year number three of that window. So, to me...I am not giving the coach anymore get out of jail free cards because some people think he's "earned" them. To heck with all of that 

 

Expectations were SB or bust. Not even winning the division or making the playoffs is inexcusable. 

 

 

Who is out there that you'd love to bring in instead?

Weren’t we saying the same thing last year?

So when do we start caring?  December losses?  Just want to make sure I know which ones count toward making the playoffs?  

Exactly.  There posts are so delusional.  We’re going to “no big deal in the month of xxxxx loss” out way into a 6th or 7th seed.

The problem I have is the Bills practice these situational things as much as anyone in the NFL but seemingly are terrible at them far too often.

So, I was going to watch the game on NFL Gamepass after work today.

Looks like I'll be mowing the lawn instead.

Just got home from the game. Only one thought…it is critical that Allen removes his head from his ass before the season gets flushed down the drain.

It looks like we carried the ball 5 tiimes for 20 something yards.  I'm fine with that.  Just keep running the ball once in a while and keep teams honest.  We didn't lose the game because we can't run the ball.  I almost garauntee that we'll never lose a game because we can't run the ball.  The point is that if we never even try teams will find a way to get to Josh faster because we don't even try to run.
