Again, you clearly were pleased with the defensive effort. 

 

I didn't say anything about that. You didn't know what down it was and now you're trying too hard to deflect by lying.

 

Why? Why be a liar over a simple mistake?

How was the facemask call getting "*****". That was totally legitimate. 

They saw that but missed the hip-drop AND made up the late “hit” on Murray.

Allen is playing so dumb

Kinda have to agree. It does look like first game Josh out there.

I have no issue with the call on Torrence. That's a penalty. 

 

Now let's see if they let Arizona's tackles leave early all drive again.

Agree on both.  That was a text book facemask and should be called 100% of the time

As bad as the Bills defense has looked they should have at least forced two field goals on the first drives. 

Saving Allen’s ass once is not enough? It’s amazing how people here missed how many times the defense saved his ass last year. And the year before that. And it starts this year.

Because penalties on interior lineman are basically up to the discretion of the ref. You could call holding or hands to the face almost every play.

[The 9 Isles]

3-4 plays and this is a completely different game. Zero confidence in this coaching staff. 
 

Maybe next off season Allen can put away the golf clubs and ask Jordan Palmer for some advice.

we are great of giving games away

Joe Brady had to plan all off-season to run the same play 5x in a row and stop having a passing game?

Brady built a lot of good will the second half of last season. I’ve been predicting for a while people are going tire of his play calling this season. A team with Josh Allen should never be ground and pound.

Allen wanted a hip drop or horse collar flag. 

So is he “crying like a baby”.. or is that phrase only reserved for opposing QBs.

Was that a hip drop???

Yes that is why Josh got up so fast and yelled at the ref.  On the corner of the TV view Edward's also saw it yellow at the ref and threw his hands up he was pissed also.  No call after no call this season script has been written.

[Kirby Jackson]

Are we still excited about the receivers this year?

No replay in stadium. Looked like hip drop in real time

when you fall to your knees like Josh did, that's a pretty good indication of a hip drop tackle.

This is why sitting the staring unit was a bad idea.  Work out the issues.

Work out the issues?   It’s lack of adequate personnel! The defense can’t make a stop and on offense nothing has changed as far as I can tell.

Def a penalty but it’s a little rough a bs call gave them 4 points earlier on and us costing ourselves 4 points is a fun reminder of that lol

 

 

[BernieBill]

I'm shocked, shocked!, that a Sean McDermott-coached team would look sloppy and unprepared Week 1 ... 

[Casey D]

It's still early.

What was Allen mad about? Was there PI down the field or something?

Hip drop or horsecollar 

[GETTOTHE50]

Who woulda thought that special teams looks like the best unit on the field today

Isn't that a hip drop?

It will be when Murry gets tackled that way.
