We did get 25 first downs and out gained them by 200 yards. Hmmm?

And when we needed to be able to move the ball late in the game, we had two straight drives of John Madden football, just chucking it 50 yards downfield.

Over the last 7 regular season games Josh had 4 ints.  Burrow had 6.  Burrow had 2 less ints on the season than Josh.

Patrick wasn’t far behind either when you have QBs who are threat to score any play anywhere on the field this happens…game manager types only work if you have tremendous  talent elsewhere the Bills other then Steff Diggs don’t.

I’ll clue you in. Bills -1.5 is the Bills being favored. 🤦‍♂️

Correct. I responded to a post that said the Bills wouldn't be favored at home.

I've overcome the disappointment & relief has set in. One thing still makes me sick to my stomach:

 

How did Josh not even see the CB blitz coming up on the strip-sack-TD? He walked up pre-snap & was completely ignored.

Could be worse we could have Minn defense

How can JA be the biggest problem with this team.  This is maddening.  Dorsey a close second. 

JA is a race car and sometimes you need to trailer the race car because you're just going to get groceries.  We could have saved the big passes for 3rd and long or inside 2 minutes of the half and just let the running game and used some passing like the Morris catch and pummeled the Phish into submission.

Bengals at Bills (buffalo was -2.5 on the road , would suggest buffalo -3.5 to 4.5)

 

If they play Jacksonville -7 +

[TheFunPolice]

We need more quick release type passes.

 

It's either a run or a 20+ yard pass.

 

We need some easy timing passes

How did you make it to halftime - I did too but we deserve a medal 

I drank nothing but water all game. I did have to turn it off for a while.

This was a horrible game to watch, especially after we led 17-0. It was 4 hours of stress. It seemed everything was pointing to an upset loss for us: terribly timed timeouts by us, multiple uncalled Miami delay of game, then delay of game called when we stopped them, big pass plays overturned, etc.  We just couldn’t seem to catch a break all game, until that final first down call.    But, a win is all that counts in the playoffs!

Games. Every game is struggle.

 

   Indeed.  Next week if it's Bengals that game will be decided that day by the players that play and how they perform then not on today or last years playoff games.  If Josh plays mistake free and our defense gets the turnovers maybe Bengals get throttled and get sent back to their jungle to try again next year.   Sure sets up some extra drama  and rivalry between two of the better teams in the AFC.  I would love to see them blow the Bengals out and leaving no doubt who's the better team.  If they win 11-10 I'll accept it too.

Oh, my bad, you quoted my post though.  Guess I was just confused is all. 👍

i get not blitzing burrow or mahomes they will burn you, but a 3rd string rookie making his 3rd start on the road in the playoffs? Blitz the hell out of him! You may give up one or two big plays to hill waddle but most of the time you win

We got yardage.  We made plays.  Game still felt like it could have slipped away at any time.

It just doesn’t matter enough. Especially in this game. You’re playing the 3rd string 7th round rookie and your coach is taking timeouts on defense with the play clock at 0. Negating positive plays for the defense. Nearly calling one on the 1st Knox TD.
 

Meanwhile Allen’s 2ints weren’t really his fault. brown ran the wrong route. He’s connecting on deep balls and some are dropped. Taking the ball out of Allen’s hands isn’t the answer 

 

I agree, neither of the picks were Allen’s fault.  The ball bounced off Beasley’s chest, and that’s supposed to be his “thing”.  He was open, ball hit him in the numbers.

 

Then there was clearly some communication issue between Brown and Allen, I can’t tell you who’s wrong though Romo thought it was Brown

 

All the catches ruled incomplete 🤐

He’s completing a bit more than 63% of his passes though. He’s got to be hitting shorter stuff.

 

Today he was at 59% thabks to all those shot calls

He hasn’t completed more than 63% of passes since the first NE match up. Today was particularly frustrating for me today because it feels like this is the QB he’s been for the last month or two.

Anybody happy about the win today? 

 

I am.  You'd think we lost.

 

Miami plays us tough under McDaniel. So what. He's a .500 coach that limped into the 7 Seed.  We're not going to revamp the roster to beat Miami.

 

That said, this OL needs work in the off-season. Josh needs to be a bit more 2020 and a bit less 2019.
