I’m wondering if we should rest our starters the next two weeks in a row. 

No, we need one more win to lock it up

That is ***** crazy lol the defense was horrible from start to finish. The only stops were turnovers. As usual. We were on skates all day and played catchup. The defense was useless again on 3rd down. Just relying on fluke turnovers and holding on for dear life. Zero pressure, can’t stop the run, every play that’s normal is whatever the offense wants. Penalties all over and an offense that sucked all year moving it at Will scoring more TDs then our offense. Our defense is our Achilles heel and has been since 2019

Bills will crush the Pats when we face them next. 
 

Brady and McD will make the adjustments and the players will take next game a bit more serious. 
 

Book it.

Bills ran the ball 4 times to RBs the first half and threw the ball 17 times. Need better balance than that moving forward. 
 

Out of the half, they got back to the ground game and it started to change the game.

They were down 14-0 and held the ball forever in 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter. Then they scored, and then they were in 2 minute mode at the end of the half. Basically if they didn’t play perfect out of the gate they were screwed because our D could not get off the field. 
 

16 minutes were off the clock and NE had the ball for 14 of them and they were up 14-0. The start of the game could not of gone any worse.

I don't think Trubisky is capable of crushing anybody, but I guess we'll see.

That is due to the injuries in the secondary.  Keep everything in front and do not give up deep throws.  That is the design of that defense.  Like it or not.

That’s always the design regardless of personnel

90% sure our backups will be playing in that game, barring a kc collapse

Obtuse? What exactly is he wrong about? We gave this rookie QB and their WRs all the space they needed

[DaVinci]

Throw those red jerseys and white pants in the garbage and burn them!

[Nelius]

Even S&BD flummoxed by James Cook. Is he just good, or like really really Thurman good? And does it even change anything with Josh?

 

I think it’s an interesting conversation now that we’ve rinsed how incredible Josh is. Cook has 16 total touchdowns right now. This isn’t normal.

Don’t know about a KC collapse, but if they lose @PIT the Bills starters will be in week 18. The games will be played simultaneously as well, to ensure “competitive integrity “

The backups just don’t cover and tackle nearly as well, so the results are far worse.

Is it me or has NE baited Josh into that same interception going back like four seasons now?

Hard to say it’s even bait…I think he knows it’s a deep jump ball to a receiver with a low probability of success instead of a punt when he pulls the trigger.

If Chris jones can’t go I’d take pit in that one. That’s a big loss personnel wise

I said it in the GDT, we all now know why Elam isn’t a backup, its been years and the guy still hasn’t learned how to cover in the NFL, no wonder he only sees playing time when there have been injuries, had high hopes initially…, 

 

GO BILLS!!!

What are you talking about, he has been play well against other teams too. He had average stats against the Bills D today. Go look at his game logs on ESPN. Today was only close because Josh sucked today, it happens. Cook had a great game averaging over 9 yards a touch. I do not know why they didn't give it to him more.

 

Go Bills!!!

Was it actually that cold? I think there was just a lot of snow. It was frigid out there today.

 

I love all the replies saying "it wasn't that cold, just snowy."

 

It was snowing... it was in the low 30s.  I know that's shorts and a ballcap weather for us, but to much of the country, yeah, that's cold.

 

But when you're talking about nine degrees... yeah, I agree, different animal.  I mean, I put on pants to take the dog out in that.  I don't think it's very conducive to domination no matter who's playing.

Don't care about his stat line, we all saw him move the ball up and down the field. Yeah, he got an unreal amount of calls go his way, but the bottom line is McDermott has proven time and again to play down to his opponents' level. Other teams didn't do what we did to KC and Detroit, and tonight was a big drop off from those games

[Turbo44]

Not sure if covered here, but what’s the reason we barely saw cook in the 4th q?
