Nacua is unreal

if we never play against him again, it’ll be too soon.

The blocked punt returned for a TD was what cost us the game.

Oh no we lost. What a shame. 
 

 

It would really suck if we weren’t 10-3 and enjoying our fifth straight division title 

I'm feeling the same way.  It's insane to think a very good team can't lose a game in the NFL.  

[KOKBILLS]

If you think the Bills have poured a lot of resources into the D-line before... Just wait for this off season... 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I hate to even think this but I wonder if bringing Dorian Williams in here and there can help. Maybe Milano isn’t all the way there yet. Maybe the younger guy gives us some youthful aggression

Allen said he didn't check into it.

Well, then our coaches choked again. Is anybody surprised? Should have been 3 straight passes to burn minimal clock. Or at least Allen rolling out with a run/pass choice.

And there’s the 2024 “Billsy” loss, only games to have the most ridiculous stats usually belongs to us.

The other 37 points we gave up helped things along, as well.

Watching the Chiefs game- this is how you play defence. Stop the run, play man coverage, send pressure on the QB.

Not sit on your arse and play soft zone coverage and hope a team makes a mistake while chewing up 7 minute drives 

The Chiefs defense is better , no question about it. The Bills offense is better than KC imo.

Those are less than what we scored.

[BRH]

We had 445 yards and 42 points of offense in 21:30 of possession.

 

That’s almost 20.7 yards of offense and two points PER MINUTE.  

 

The Rams’ offense (457 yards) had 11.8 yards of offense and a little UNDER a point per minute, which is actually considered elite offensive production.

And yet it’s HIGHLY possible they don’t even make the playoffs!

They’ve had a lot of injuries. They probably make the playoffs with a little bit more luck in that dept.

That and the fact that we could not stop there offense to the entire day!  They forced the punt in the fourth quarter?   
 

Bills got within three with what seven minutes left?  Still couldn’t get a stop and gave up a score.

Do you think we would have stopped them on the impending drive after we punted? 
 

The rest of the game doesn’t make that seem like a likely prospect. 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Don't dismiss it- The blocked punt was huge and shouldn't happen if you want to win in the NFL against a good team on the raod.

I mean, Allen is a pretty damn good bet to score there. I can’t say I would have loved a pass play more etc. He didnt get in - those are the breaks.

Ya fair.

I can live with the bills defence giving up points and plays. 

I Just hate how they play schematically. 
 

38-22 time of possession for the rams today- That's what happens a lot when you play bend but don't break, keeps the mvp on the sidelines as well

I am at the stage where the Bills

losses (even when playoffs are clinched) are so much more painful than the wins are enjoyable.  That’s not good.  

 

I’m going to rationalize by saying this loss today will allow them to fix some things that are broken. It’s a reset.  Now they can start a winning streak to get us where they want to go.

 

I find the losses to be LESS impactful in the midst of such a dominating run. Actually now, I expect the Bills to lose next week as well. Two-week skids are a thing. As long as they close out strong against the dregs of the AFCE, then whatever. It only matters how they perform in the playoffs now.

This is the main contention most Bills fans have with McD once we're in the playoffs. His bend-don't-break defense only works if your offense is playing LIGHTS-OUT and/or if you get some timely stops or turnovers. The D-line needs to be more effectively disruptive, and our guys just have NOT been disruptive enough outside the Chiefs game. (And the Chiefs O-line is bad.)

 

McVay's offense absolutely torched our D all day. And the Bills offense stumbled enough in the first half (which has been a problem) to cost them in the end.
