If you refuse to run the ball, passing up the easy completions to Cook is terrible decision making. It’s there, just take it until they can stop it.

 

Josh will learn next year

Why the f"*$ did they stop running the football? Dorsey is a goddamn idiot. Short circuit the drive, and let the Bears get the ball again. Brilliant!

It's about the MVP for Allen

Wind, cold and poor line play really doing in the bills offense inside 30-40. Gonna be a struggle if they can’t run the ball

People can blame Dorsey all they want, but Allen is missing wide open guys and Gabe Davis made no effort to play that ball.

 

This is not on Dorsey.

Adjusting for the conditions and how the players are doing is part of the job. Pass game isn’t working, run the ball.

[BillsFan4]

Well, let’s hope for a better second half from the entire team. That 1st half was not good.

[nedboy7]

Play calling is fine.  Players are frozen.  Josh has brain freeze.

Tell me you are watching this current Bills drive and you are thinking, Super Bowl, deep playoff run, etc.  They look like garbage.  How about that second straight missed FG?  But sure, the Chiefs almost lost to Houston so its ok. 

The chiefs also put up 550 yards of offense and allowed 230. It was only close because of luck.

Play calling is ***** idiotic again

 

There are open guys. Josh is ignoring them.

[Process]

I can't get over how Davis on that play. Absolutely pathetic effort.

No you just sound stupid…..complaining to complain!

 

LOL, yeah, because there is nothing to complain about the Bills today.  If they were up 21-0 and I was complaining...that's just complaining to complain.  Complaining that we are legit struggling to take the lead over a 3-11 team, threw an INT in their territory, missed two FGs, flubbed a punt return and gifted them FG positioning....is justified complaining.  Now zip it.

Special teams today:

Missed extra point. Missed field goal.

 

34 yard net on a punt.

 

Hines mis plays a punt and makes the offence start at the 1.

 

2 short fields on kickoffs.

 

Thank god we have so many specialized special teams guys

Unbelievable. He had Beasley open.

Looking like you're gonna get your wish.  Too many issues with this team right now to even pretend that they are good enough to advance to anywhere

It’s not even my wish. Just a reality. It’s just that most here won’t see it or admit it until the Bills get eliminated.

We’re 11-3……what you wanted 14-0?

No I’m fine with our record. Just stating why people appear ‘hopeless.’

 

But on that note… yeah I do come to expect more in a game like this.  I cannot begin to try to explain why we just called 3 pass plays in a row after we were gashing them on the ground. Not sure if it’s Dorsey or Josh… but they’re really p!ssing me off.  

[Big Blitz]

Pretty much everything I expected in wind and cold like this.  
 

We have a turnover and 2 missed kicks that’s the difference 

 

Its 2022 folks.  Football isn’t meant to be played in this ***t anymore.  

[Billz4ever]

So Davis doesn't even try for the ball?  As the announcer said, had he actually gone for it, he draws the flag.  Defender not even looking for the ball.

[HurlyBurly51]

Well, at least we get the ball to start 2nd half?

This is not on Dorsey.

I disagree. That drive we were running very effectively. No need to switch off the run until they stuff it.
