If it wasn't for some rancid Bass and a poor red zone pass we'd be winning the game.

Chill out.  Are you at the game?

Diggs 0 targets. 

Pretty sure he had one whole target at the beginning of the game but had good coverage and we got called for holding anyhow.

None of us want to admit it, because it’s a scary thought, but this is on Allen.

 

Throwing an awful INT, missing open guys, throwing balls into the dirt, not throwing to Diggs when he has 1 on 1’s, etc.

 

Oh sure, he gets his share. Jets game 1 was on Allen as well.

Bills need to get it together and score a few TDs and pitch a shutout on D. Moving the ball easily, not sticking with the run game when it's breaking off huge chunks and not taking easy passes that are there...stop making life difficult on yourself in bad conditions.

 

this.  why do we do this every week.   Why make it harder than needed.

we have nothing.  Drafting has been horrendous.  Basham inactive.  OL, etc just all around since Allen. 

 

Basham is injured in fairness. But yea the OL is horrendus week after week. Josh makes it look better than it is. With say a Derk Carr or a Kirk Cousins - good QBs but pocket guys, people would be screaming about this line. It's dreadful.

Yup.  Looking like the Bills will have to beat NE just to win the division.

Sure it is. If teams want to drop everyone way back into coverage and leave the middle of the field wide open, Allen running for chunk yardage is the right read.

 

But when it's done more often than plays are executed, it's not.  

[WyoAZBillfan]

So much drama!! Gabe is trash, yet our only TD and really most of the catches. Cook and motor should be feeding more. Defense settled down a bit. 
second half adjustments?? we’ll see!!

 Go Bills!

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Nah. We tend to play to the level of our competition.  I expect us to make it a game, but I don't see us winning

[Real McClappy]

Davis really should have fought for that ball and it would of been DPI

Problem is seeing mistakes that should not be made from a team w these expectations 

 

the special teams has been the most concerning

Bears nearly beat the Eagles. They’re not as horrible as everyone thinks. They’ve played some very good teams hard this season.

[Golden*Wheels]

lets go bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see a very different sort of game against a tough opponent.

 

Unfortunately, we seem to be making the classic mistake of lowering ourselves to the quality of our opponent today.

 

 

[Big Blitz]

Can ST or Def help us out with a TO or TD?  
 

Maybe?
