Jets made the elite team KC look pretty dang bad also and the refs stepped in to bail them out 

KC doesn't look elite this year.  But hey, get your hopes up bud.

I think the fans in London should catch and tar and feather the refs

Agree.

The Bills defense is better at hockey than the Sabres defense

This bothers me more than the Jets L . Both inferior teams but we had many disadvantages and the zebras and injuries were brutal. Feel like we beat them 9/10 times

Factoring out the injuries the Jets loss was far more sloppy and self inflicted. The circumstances surrounding the London game also allows me to write this off more.

This is the excuse Police with an excuse APB alert.

that’s right an Absolutely Poor Bullshyt

excuse alert for anyone saying we lost this game because we had to travel. 
 

gaurantee that no one in the Bills organization is going to get away with using that as an excuse. 
neither should the fans.

That was ugly. Bills can’t run they can’t move the chains consistently. I like Cook but we gotta start the games with our tough runners that move forward. Someone gotta tell Dorsey the shotgun draw is our worst enemy 

He must think it's still the K-Gun days and we have Thurman back there.  Even in the old days, we didn't run out of the shotgun like Dorsey does.  We've got some power backs... let's use them when the sledding gets tough.

Man would that be nice...but they are about to get trounced.  They have a terrible team this year and the Dolphins just got smacked.  Would love for it to happen but would also love the Bills to just take care of their own business so we don't have to always spend the whole season hoping for other teams to lose for us.

The team sucked against an average team

 

LOL if you think that's an average team.

Jets felt more like our players straight up choked and this game felt shady as hell and bothered me way more

If I'm putting on my conspiracy theory hat, it is more beneficial for the Jags to win when in London, considering the NFL probably either wants to move them there or create a team there.  It's way better for the NFL if their "chosen" London team wins (no matter how it happens).

Jags stink. The 2 prior gms i saw them, they were brutal 

We got killed with penalties and injuries 

 

If this was a real home game, we dominate

 

I definitely think you're right about the real home game. The international travel and their not having to travel this week was a huge disadvantage. 

Jags defense came into this game 5th in EPA/play. They played well against the Chiefs too. Lawrence is a stud. Their skill players are good and their OL just got back their starting LT. Jags were bound to improve. They had some bad drops and red zone woes and I was expecting them to get right on some of that. Was just hoping not this week. I DO think the jet lag played into it some. But the Jags don't stink.

I rewatched it. Diggs was being tackled and Cook was too close and sprinted past him by the time he was able to pitch the ball. 

I guess it depends if his knee was down, not that they bothered to review it.....***** surprise but the way everyone reacted including Diggs I'd say it's a pretty safe bet it wasn't.

Agreed, you could really feel his joy coming through the TV with every Jax score or Bills injury.  Hard to turn off your fandom even when you have a job to do.

Generally yes. But this is a different scenario, need a TD within 30 seconds. Risk vs reward.

I agree with you, this is that 1% situation.

[Since1981]

Dorsey didn’t turn Josh loose early enough. Runs were unproductive for too long before change.  Our D played spectacular but ran out of juice (and players) at the end

It has never happened before that a team in London faced a team that played in London the week before. There were bad coaching decisions made but I can’t also say that there weren’t other factors that put the Bills in a bad spot.

I think Harris and Murray need to be the primary RBs.   Cook is nothing more than a change of pace back.
