It's a BS penalty but that's the way the NFL calls it. However it did cause the reciever to drop the pass which would have been more yards than the 15 yard penalty.

I think Cam is a good starting caliber QB, he got run into the ground in Carolina and he isn't surrounded by enough talent in NE. I think likely Billy B is going to ride with Cam for one more season or even two while he grooms a QB. The Pats are having an off year but it isn't Cam's fault.

If you can't figure things out against the Jets then who are you going to figure it out against? If the defense can get healthy and add a true one tech DT I think they can round into being an average at worst defense.

To show his team some energy, why is this even a bad thing to some people?

They played the Jets and honestly I think that INT got them some confidence. I think they were also a bit tired and worn from the past two weeks so getting a rest to start the half and make some adjustments was key. The defense was OK in the first half elite in the redzone and making big plays despite giving up a lot of yardage. But they came to play and knew what they had to do to close this game out. Hopefully this team can get far against a bad Pats team and run it up to 6-2 before they go to play a tough Seattle team. It also would be good to further bury NE in the division chase.

I doubt the Jets want to trade him in the division but, i would trade a 2nd rounder for him. I would also target Tomlinson from the Giants a true one tech who is on the last year of his rookie deal and could be had for a 4th rounder as a rental.

A win is a win even if the Bills got off flat and couldn't quite put it away in the second half. If I had to grade the game. Josh C+, bad turnover cost the team 3 points when they needed it and couldn't strike that killing blow in the second half. But he also never punted (from what I remember) and even in the first half constantly was moving the ball. Josh settled down and took what the defense gave him. O-line B, seems like they were what they usually are. Good pass blocking mediocre run blocking against a weak defense. Hoping Mongo can come back and help the guard play. Running backs B, seems like got the most part they did their jobs in limitedopportunities. Moss got going on the ground and in the air, Singletary struggles on the ground but got some play in the air. Tight ends B-, Kroft was effective but tripped on that big part, for the most part he is doing what is asked of him. Receivers B+, Beasley exploited them respecting Josh deep, Diggs made some complementary plays but they need John Brown back badly to get it going against better defenses. Special Teams C-, Bass missed 2 kicks inside 50 but also made one outside 50, not good. But while Roberts had a good kick return a lot of the good work he was putting in on the punt returns were negated by penalties. Kickoff coverage was good however. D-line A- shaky first half but still managed 2 sacks and big plays when needed. Second half 4 sacks and complete domination. Linebackers B-, Edumonds and company played bad in the first half but they played much better in the second half. Secondary A, by far the secondary's best game of the season. They did get burt on some conversations in the first half but even in the first half they stood strong in the redzone and got an Int when needed. Then in the second half they helped to take the game over. Overall B-, the Bills survived a bad first half against a bad opponent and dominated the second half but because of redzone struggles they couldn't put the game away. In the end if you can't get a win against the Jets your season is *****. Hopefully Josh and the offense can get Mongo and Brown back in time for NE or at least Seattle and the defense can get some confidence. Still need a true one tech DT

Upon the casual eye test yes. Hopefully the detailed tape analysis backs that up I thought Johnson played well today at least. But yes he has been pretty mediocre at best

Up 5 with 6 minutes left, Jets have the ball. Not bad considering the team was down 10-0. But man they really missed back to back opportunities to put this game out of reach. Luckily the defense is playing well but still not a great position to be in. Defense needs to make one more stand here.

They look more aggressive and attacking, I do think the defense getting that INT before the half boosted their confidence.

The defense needs to just hold serve one more time and the offense just needs to score a TD. It isn't complicated but man this team is letting the Jets hang around.

We will have to see how this season plays out. McD is trying to play a style where he has a high octane offense and a disciplined defense. It worked for the Pats but I am not sure if it will work out.

Got to stop letting the Jets hang around. The Jets didn't pile up the big lead when they were in control of the game and now its slipping. The Bills have to get a TD here. A field goal while not bad is just not enough.

Football isn't complicated.

Considering that the drive started at the 8, I won't be too upset with 3 here. But man the Bills need to put this game into two score lead territory. Smart drive taking what the defense gave them but penalties deep just crushed them. Defense has to continue to hold serve and the offense has to score 7 and not 3. Getting points on every drive in the second half smartly isn't tragic but you are getting a lot of issues with the penalties. Should have at least had one TD on either of those drives.

Leading scorer today

The blocking by the O-line wasn't bad it was the receivers that time that sunk the play.

Just taking what the defense is giving them. Smart.

Ground game finally getting going.

If the defense can shut down the Jets (a bare minimum task granted) in the second half they can be at the very worst a severely mediocre defense.

Bills need to take control of this game on this drive. Josh needs 7 on this drive, even a field goal here while not tragic wouldn't fully shift the games momentum to the Bills. Josh needs that well timed TD here. Get over the sloppy first half and get this game into a comfortable position. Defense looked sharpe on that first drive, offense was decent until it self destructed.

Can anyone who wanted Andre Roberts cut during the off-season please apologize if they haven't already? I know it sucks I had to apologize to Bojo.

That drive was huge there. The defense seemed more like last year.

3 points wasn't tragic but after that great return and some first downs you have to get 7 there. The defense needs a stop here. Honestly this game is just too close for comfort, have to put them away and put a sloppy first half behind them.

Honestly the Bills just need to score a TD on the opening drive and things should settle down. Getting that turnover and field goal is a lot of momentum and relief for both sides of the ball. The Jets mostly dominated that first half and if they give up a TD on that opening drive they will find themselves down 3 and fairly demoralized.
