We've adapted to them quite well after a horror start. 

 

But we just look short on the players we need to compete this deep into the season. 

 

On the upside, it's a lot closer than it could be. That punt felt like a grown-up call to me.

Adapted? More time in the clock and they score again…that last drive was again too easy

I’m speechless. Bengals are just a team with a better scheme on offense and defense. We are lucky to still be in this game. 
 

offense barely squeaked out a TD on that one drive. Otherwise they’ve looked putrid

Can’t wait for the draft where we take S, DL, and LB with our first 3 picks.

I’m legitimately scared about next season and the draft. 
 
It is blatantly obvious that we need a revamped O-Line (not just a guy or two. We need the whole thing). 
 

We also need more help on the D-Line… especially with Von out for who knows how long (or not knowing how he’ll come back). 
 

Poyer and Hyde will need upgrades… and if Tre continues to be below average, we may need another CB.
 

We need more receiving help. We need a true #2 WR. 


The concern is… all we heard at the beginning of the season was “the Bills are the deepest team in the league. No holes.”   Now we have too many holes to count… we’ll have a late draft pick.. and we’re not in a great position salary cap wise.  Gonna be interesting.

And after all that, it’s 17 points given up

With the extra possesion BUT numbers don’t always tell the whole story this defense has been toyed with today.  Maybe it’s the footing but it looks exactly how the first quarter in Cincinnati did.

Why is everything so easy for other teams and so hard for Buffalo? 

Expand  


because the bills D is a keep it in front and let the other team make a mistake style defense. Short passes are there by design.

 

on offense the bills refuse to throw short/underneath/check downs, the is making it more tough. OLine has to block longer, lower percentage passes, etc

You know where do we go from here if we lose..pending free agents, Milano will be 29. Diggs will be 30 next year. Miller will be 34 coming off a torn acl. There’s not a lot of explosiveness on either side. Other afc teams are coming. Not a good feeling

Selling the afc title game tickets early did us no favors. They had bulletin board stuff all week.

Hate to let you in on a secret but every team does this including the Bengals

Can blame the defense but Allen and the offense have 1 good drive in the entire half.  Going 3 and out and keep giving the Bengals the ball back and no defense is going to stop that.

Offense needs to find some rhythm in the 2nd half. Deep pass game is not going to work. Get Cook on the field more, get the ball in his hands on quick completions.

Expand  

What makes you think our coaches/Allen will do anything differently?  It’s been multiple games like this

They then run it, with points on the board. Defense has to step up regardless, the tackles 5 yards down the field won’t do much

Expand  

 

They are running it now and we're tackling them more than 5 yards down field.  Getting killed up front.   3-4 can still stop the run.
