it’s been strange. I think it is less about Ladd, but I am not sure.

It honestly seems like a reflection of the broader (especially online) society at this time. The first sign of adversity or discomfort and people completely lose all objectivity and want to blowtorch everything.

If you like. They still are not going anywhere no matter how much you wish upon a star.

As it so often does. Pats final drive, only needing a field goal to take the lead. Given that making a field goal from 50-60 yards is routine these days, your D has to defend first down markers, NOT the end zone. But the soft, prevent zones allow Pats to methodically move the ball downfield, chewing up all the time. On the play where Maye was almost sacked, with Jones draped all over him, Diggs is wide open for a short pass, as our linebacker has to come up from his deep position to make the tackle. That’s terrible defensive strategy. Man up, take the short stuff away, blitz , whatever but u need to prevent first downs - not touchdowns. If a long TD happens, so be it, Allen gets back on the field with time to operate. KC faced similar situation in our playoff game last year. Our final drive - they threw the kitchen sink at Allen, knowing that if a long scoring play happens, at least Mahomes has a chance to comeback. But the slow death of dropping D back, bend don’t break, results in the slow death of a methodical drive that chews up all the clock. God awful strategy. As was the incredible decision to have Samuel field & return the final kickoff, with just 15 seconds left. Let the ball go into end zone, take it at the 20, and let Allen take 2 or 3 shots downfield. Long shot I know, but far better than a kickoff return that leaves virtually no time to do anything. It’s this consistent mismanagement of game strategy which will once again haunt this team in the playoffs

Examples?

How does this post with data only have a little bit of discussion, while the same post made with no data and more anger have a raging discussion going right below it?

This loss is bringing up some serious feelings because of who it was to. Bills fans have been waiting for a return to the mean for 6 years, and the narrative of “the Pats are back” all over the NFL media this week just confirms our worst fears. Hence the overreaction.

Yeah I think it's possible to win with this offensive group for sure. With Allen you get a lot of leeway, although obviously we would all love a more clear WR1 who can separate. But on defense there's no comparison. Belichick hasn't done his legacy any favors in recent years, but some of his championship defenses were truly special. I mean he held that Rams offense that was no.2 in yards and points to just 3 points in that super bowl. Three points. I don't think even McD's most ardent supporters think we've ever fielded a defense that could win us a championship in that fashion- not in any year he's been here.

they are the best defense in the league. i don't think they'll feel obligated to let us get our frustrations out.

This is today's NFL. Teams, even good ones, generally don't blow their opponents out. The high point totals and amount of comfortable wins we've seen from the Bills over the past half-decade are not the norm. Now, this isn't directed solely at the OP, but the board as a whole - we lose one game against a decent team by a last second field goal where we lose the turnover battle -2 and commit 12 penalties and suddenly everything is wrong with the team. We act like Sunday night was the norm and not the exception. And I'd love to have the Lions or Bengals receivers. I'd love a more consistent (or even existent) down field passing game. But even so, the fact remains that we are still averaging 30+ points per game. The offense isn't the problem here.

Least surprising story of the day. NYPD Cops Plan to Vote With Their Feet If Mamdani Wins Ed Morrissey https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/10/08/nypd-cops-plan-to-vote-with-their-feet-if-mamdani-wins-n3807617

This whole game being on a Sunday night against the Patriots seemed an odd duck when the schedule was announced. Like why put this game in that slot? Should have been a 1 pm game. But makes sense that its the Pats coming out party and return to relevance. The penalties just confirm it.

What's cheesy to you, may not be to a bunch of young kids, which is essentially the Bills roster.

Well then get a meeting with Brady and see if you can change the philosophy of the offense. In the meantime find a top 10 WR. Can’t wait!

Have you seen Ladd lately? His stats are in the toilet. He's healthy. Somehow, QB Justin Herbert decided to make Ladd into a WR3.

Yeah I couldnt make sense of what they were trying to do. Just all over the place in terms of formations and personnel. Then they seemed intent on trying to win outside the hashes. The Patriots corners had no issue running with them. Not even a challenge really. I guess he wanted to throw the kitchen sink at them and adjust at halftime. Instead he wasted two quarters of football trying to do what they cant do.

For comparison sake, here are the Patriots WR snap percentages from the same game … Boutte 62% Hollins 58% Diggs 50%

In late September, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department on two counts: False statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States Government [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] Obstruction of a Congressional proceeding [18 U.S.C. § 1505] On Wednesday morning, Comey appeared for his arraignment on those charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, before judge Michael Nachmanoff to enter his plea on those charges. The arraignment was originally set for Thursday, but Nachmanoff moved it up one day "Because there are multiple previously-scheduled matters that are expected to draw large numbers of people to the courthouse at the same time as the arraignment, and because it is necessary to ensure the security of the Court, the parties, and the public." Comey entered the courthouse outside the view of press cameras. As expected, Comey, who is represented by Jessica Carmichael of Carmichael Ellis & Brock and (former Special Counsel) Patrick Fitzgerald, quickly entered a plea of not guilty on both counts. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/10/08/comey-enters-his-plea-n2194851

Kincaid is the one I have an issue with. If you look at the snap counts for other top TEs around the league, they are all consistently over 70%. Some 90%+. He's our biggest offensive weapon. He needs to be on the field.

I understand the frustration with losing a game to a divisional opponent, but the idea of using a variety of receivers is necessary because Beane chose to ignore a dominant pass catcher in favor of D-line FAs and draft choices.The problem on Sunday was they shut down Cook and then Brady got impatient and went away from the run game in favor of throwing into dangerous double coverages. What’s wrong with Josh distributing the ball to an emerging star in Kincaid, mismatches with Coleman, Shakir, who always gets open when Josh gets flushed or Palmer? Our offense is run first with a top 5 RB which opens up underneath opportunities and limits TOs. You want to vent, focus on the crappy secondary we’ve trotting out there.

Is it just me or were the multiple procedure calls for the WR not being on the line of scrimmage a bit nitpicky. Kelce lines up there more often than not to give him a step before he gets jammed at the LOS, he rarely gets called

Mr Brightside is the cheesiest song they could have ever picked. You might as well play Minuto or Mariah carey. It is a Red Sox song. We stole the whole thing from them. Not from Knox's wedding BS. The Red Sox have done it for years since the song came out. The day the Bills did it I puked. But of course, all the buffalonians jumped on it. So cheesy.
