How are the pats getting pressure and totally covering our wr on every play? 

Because they only have to cover the intermediate/deep parts of the field.  
 

Allen refuses to take easy yards quickly. By the time he checks down, they can react.

are we trying to keep them guessing on when we’ll run it?

Actually Morse is getting beat

 

Morse was a turnstyle on that sack.

Come on D!  We are overdue for a defensive TD

 

Milano has been quiet. Let’s go Milano!  Make plays like you have been doing all season!

[Ramza86]

We have 4 trash bags as offensive lineman. Sick of them losing on every passing down.

[zow2]

When the Bills go pass, pass, pass, pass, etcx things get stale. when they mix in a run or two it really helps.  need to run a bit.

Saffold got beat inside on that play.

I'm on such an emotional high right now after this week and the start of the game that I feel like the bills are up 40-0.

Josh seems a little off today but he looks like he’s not trusting our o-line which is a problem.

Feels like a lifetime ago when we barely punted. We still haven't looked good on o since the bye. Pretty concerning going into playoffs 

 

The bye really hurt the Bills for some reason; haven't really looked the same since. Defense has an excuse. Offense?

That sack on Josh Allen. He didn’t have to bail yet and if he hung on just a half second he had someone open.

 

Also might be a bit rattled from earlier pressures. Rarely has had a clean pocket. This Pat D is No Joke

He's rushed a few throws that he didn't have to.

Josh still had a bit of pocket to work with on that 3rd I think

It’s crazy. Cook has been doing well running today so far. Keep feeding him. 

It’s inexcusable.  The are going to get Josh killed.

[Golden*Wheels]

seems like line caves in fast even with all the time Josh buys...defense needs to keep us ahead

Correct been doing it for about five years now. Playing the long game

Our OC has no run game. He has one play that is rarely affective. 

When they do run it's so obvious too. Besides that Chi game his run calling been so predictable

Why does it always seem like our O has to work really hard for every yard? 
also Josh seems apprehensive about his first read. He always seems to have to go to his second or third. 

This is a great point. Every single thing we do seems so difficult. Crazy catches, josh running for his life, etc. To me it’s just a lack of true weapons and the decision to not invest in the oline, leaving us with josh having to be Superman each week

Night and day between us and the Chiefs to your first question. Reid is obviously awesome and far more experienced than Dorsey calling plays, but Mahomes always has guys running free who get YAC.
