This poll is hot garbage, BTW. Needs a "No, I do not want to miss the playoffs, period" option.

Some of that is on the offense turning the ball over and giving it to the Texans in the red zone. The Texans also started with great field position on almost every single drive because the offense could not get past their own 20 yard line. Every time the defense struggles, the offense turtles up and can't do anything. The difference is, the defense turned it around, made adjustments, and played way better, giving the offense a chance to go win the game. The offense continued to spin its wheels all game long. The Bills have an average defense that is riddled with injuries, making it a poor defense. But even that poor defense gives the offense chances to go and win the game, and the offense doesn't ever reward that.

You don’t get to dodge the point by pretending a meeting equals adopting Vatican policy. That’s not how governing works. It’s just a lazy deflection.

Also, they generated very little pressure on Mills. He was able to stand in the pocket and deliver, for most of the night, outside of a couple blitzes. I agree about the first half as well, like why the hell are you giving up 7 points on a 2 min drive to backup QB. As far as the offense goes, I'm now convinced that Brady has awful passing concepts. He has one man beater concept he runs. Mesh. And he ran it back to back on the last 2 plays of the game. That combined with the talent level of the WRs, you get the Bills current passing scheme. It's a mess.

Frankly, in hindsight we probably should have paid Edmunds. We are noticeably worse vs. passes to the middle of the field since he left. Bernard had a great 2023 but has struggled since.

Houston's defensive line dominated the game (they didn't really blitz) and our receivers couldn't get open quick enough. That was the story of the game. Still, we most likely win if we don't turn it over 3 times.

There is a divide amongst the Bills fanbase. One side has PTSD from the 2000s drought. They are petrified about making a change, because they are worried about going back to being a totally irrelevant and joke of a franchise. So they would prefer keeping the status quo, because Beane/McDermott means Buffalo should at least be in the playoffs and competitive most years. The other side has PTSD from the 90s Super Bowl teams. They are petrified about NOT making a change, because they are worried we are going to waste another golden era (Hall of Fame roster vs. Hall of Fame QB) without hoisting a Lombardi. They would rather take the chance of things getting worse and going backwards, as opposed to being comfortable with just being good.

Claims to have people on ignore yet sees every post from these people.

None

There's no digging deep or any need to go to the film room; it's right there on your TV screen every week if you're paying attention. He's nothing like Edmunds.

Allen had guys in his face. He had to rush that pass.

Dawkins has checked out and has become a personality more or less. He’s a false start and holding penalty waiting to happen. The O -line coaches know he’s outlived his usefulness but with all the needs on this team a reliable left tackle is as likely as getting another franchise QB.with the cap situation. The most telling visual last night was seeing him smiling and laughing it up with the Houston edge rusher who used him like a turnstile and after almost getting Josh killed , showing no disappointment. He is a liability and against a playoff edge rusher on the road, it’s going to be ugly.

I blame it on Gabe Davis and his second foot. If he catches that pass in bounds, suddenly you have one of the most unbelievable and spectacular game winning drives in Josh Allen’s career, and this entire narrative never happens… Least not this week. Ugh… seriously though, when I think about this game, I flash back to that one play. That was the opportunity right there. As Dawkins said afterwards “game of inches”

I think replace both coordinators and McClappy with an OC minded coach with a great DC like a Saleh

Yes.

Allen isn't perfect. He'll miss things from time to time. But it's "easy" to see a wide open Knox when you have the benefit of a camera 30ft in the air and you don't have 4 300 lb men running free at you. I couldn't see which DT stunted to that side, but he was literally between Josh and Knox when Josh looked that way. I doubt he could see him.

Agree. We were -2 for turnovers, Josh sacked 8 times, and we still could have won in the end. A couple more plays is all we needed, and the missed PAT ended up being huge.

This feels like the Edmunds conversation, except we never paid him. “You just don’t see what he’s doing out there” You make fair points, but you should feel a guy making the money he’s set to make, week in/week out. It shouldn’t be where we have to dig deeper to see his true value on a Defense that is absolutely terrible. I feel Cole Bishop out there. I felt Bosa out there before his hand injury, and even with it, he’s the only guy even getting close to the QB right now. Rousseau is in this Edmunds category where we need to dissect the tape to see any impact he’s having. We’re paying Rousseau and Bosa essentially combined what Danielle Hunter is making on his extension. Maybe we just need one Danielle Hunter and not two B level guys. Seems like this example can be applied all over our roster.

Have a good blocking TE and a reserve lineman that has played blocking TE a bunch in the past. You’d think it would be common sense to put them in to help a line that is being abused. Nope.

Well that's it for me. I'm heading to the shower.

I don't start a GAME BALLS thread after a loss.
