LOL NBC is now basically telling the world that the NFL gave the Bills the win

I don’t think they would do that with Kansas City. Remember the Super Bowl where they flagged Philly!

They are desperate for outside corner. The safeties are no longer capable of covering up deficits there. With Dane out today things get dire. If he or Benford get seriously injured they may as well forfeit

Also true

[Zag20]

Shouldn’t the first one have been defensive holding? He had released once the ball was out IMO

Give me a break…it was a routine catch.  Not a great throw, but not bad either

[billybob71]

Allen made some incredible plays on those two scoring drives, Knox absolutely has to do his part and make that catch to bail him out on a bit of a short throw

When a win feels like a loss.

Beane needs to be on the phone for offensive help. Jeudy isn’t helping us much. What about dk metcalf? Hell I’d even take Tyler lockett. Somebody has to be available. I don’t care. We can’t keep going with the offense the way it is

I figured out that he’s being sarcastic.

Everyone's annoyed about Knox not making a great play there, you know what I'm annoyed about on that series, us running the same two predictable run plays before it, making us need a long pass to convert the 3rd down. Seriously I think those were the same run plays we were running on the earlier drives only they worked then because they didn't know we were going to call runs.

The linebackers might be real good. Both of these guys can fly. It was touch and go there for a min but we only gave up 9 and no TDs. I like 43/42 out there. That could be a hell of a LB combo going forward. Elam wasn’t horrible. If we get Dane Back it will feel better back there. If we can win games when our offense doesn’t have it, that’s a next level for this team. When was the last time the Bills won a game where the bills scored less then 15 points? Josh’s first year?

true... but a physical super bowl caliber team with a top O line blocks those runs up better and gets it to 3rd and short

Damar Hamlin and Damien Harris = same two initials DH.

 

Dustin Hoffman, David Hasselhoff, Darryl Hannah, Dennis Hopper, and Dennis Haysbert are deeply concerned.

People always say that we can’t win the close ugly ones. Well, we did. That was as ugly as it could be.

Against a team that we were favored by the most points of any team this weekend. That was a terrible performance and we didn't plan correctly... At all

 

Giants D put on a clinic.

But when they sniff out the first one and it goes nowhere, why would you do the exact same play, I mean run to the outside maybe, do something else.

the expectations were the Bills were going to curbstomp this team. The ugly way we won stings. It has made our high expectations crumble more than a bit. Im reading the room. The feeling of future dread is palpable without some personnel changes.  Which may or may not happen. I have my doubts

I was being sarcastic. Someone said the same to me for a similar remark.

I get that, and I'm annoyed at all of the above, but this is 2023 and when one of the best 96 guys at his position can't catch it I get crooked. It's not like a Josh fastball, that was more like Josh knowing this guy isn't trustworthy, he's thinking "I almost need to make the catch for him" and float the ball in there, and it gets dropped anyway.

Usually we’re on the short end of those I’ll take the W.  But let’s face it in some respects this looks an awful lot like last season.  We aren’t that good. Somethings just not quite right, can’t put my finger on it.

I can. The OC blows.
