Idk how you can even sell getting straight up tackled to the ground 😂. That should sell itself 

It should. But this d line just does not get holding calls this year for whatever reason. I’ve seen plenty of guys on other teams that are great at selling being held. I just wish our guys were coached better to do that. 

[Saint Doug]

Games this like is where Josh should be feeding Cook continuously.

He got bumped into when he released it. Still a poor decision to throw because Shakir wasn't open.

 

Yeah as I thought, the replay shows that Cook was wide open underneath. That is the throw he has to make there. Waiting an extra second in the pocket for someone to get open downfield creates mistakes

Are Rousseau and Oliver playing today?

Groot has made some plays…Oliver not so much

Allen needs to snap out of it. This is a game you need to get. Playing like ***** and looking like his head is elsewhere. There are a game or two a year where he sits around sulking. Get it going and get the lead now because we never make a team punt. This defense is a turnover or points. 

 

 It's that Hollywood GF of his

[PoundingDog]

Allen needs to get his head out of his b*tt. Missed Kincaid TD. And not sure what he's seeing on the INT

this one is totally on Josh

 

That one throw? Absolutely. 100% on Josh.

 

The game… Joe Brady.

 

His redzone calls have been abysmal, and that 4th down decision to run Samuel to a tightly packed area was horrendous.

 

It’s the issue I always have with him - he doesn’t scheme guys open. Our players just always have to beat their defender and then hold on after the hit.

Defense spotted us two turnovers, one being a pick six. 
 

We don’t have an elite defense.  They’re average to above average depending on the game. 
 

Our MVP caliber QB needs to not be awful.  That’s it, that’s all.  

I'd settle for average at this point.

 

Giving up over 100 on the ground before half while still giving up yards through the air too is not acceptable.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am Not sure why we aren’t running it more. The colts have the second worst run D in the league (not sure how they can be worse than us, but they are).

Josh has that look. Someone please talk to him and snap him out of it. 

 

It's been pretty much every 1st half this year outside of the Jags game. He'll magically be better in the 2nd half.

Beane needs to be on the phone with Mikah Hyde right now!!! Hamlin needs to go. 

Hamlin isn't the issue. It's no DL worth a damn and WR corp lacks talent outside of 2 injured and Shakir

[DaVinci]

Ever since Allen hit his right hand last week he seems to have lost his touch.

Our D line doesn’t know how to sell holds.  At all. It’s a problem. 

Difficult to see, the hold when your dragged to the ground…. 
 

Honestly it has turned into the players selling the penalty. Refs should do their job.

Only silver lining right now is Denver 14 KC 3

Yeah, but if that holds and we lose today we gain zero ground.  Need the boys to wake the eff up.

[UKBillFan]

Nothing that has happened before matters, Josh. You're better than this. Get the ball down the field.

[BillsFan130]

Just get a damn TD and go in the half 17-13

[Preds]

13 pts unanswered after what shoud have been a 17-0 or 21-0 start.  

[Thrivefourfive]

Allen fooled us all for the first seven games with no turnovers. He’s Baaaaack. Hope the rest of the roster hasn’t fallen asleep on the season, because the way JA17 has us lined up, his play and the Bills games are about to become nothing but erratic, playground, divisional exit inducing 

[OldTimer1960]

A step-back year.  I understand that injuries are a big problem on both offense and defense, but even at full-strength, this is not a serious Super Bowl contending team.  Defense is too soft against the run and is not a strong pass rush team.  On offense, there is not enough fire power, particularly at WR.  I will admit that I was not a fan of the Coleman pick, but he was at least showing some signs of life before injury.

 

Let’s see how they look through the upcoming very tough stretch.
