It wasn't just "the defense" that got smoked by Nacua, Taron Johnson was abused.
Surprisingly Ingram manned up better against him late in the game.
The big gaffe is having Elam a healthy scratch. We struggled in man but we had our best man corner in sweats. I know Cam Lewis is versatile and special teams and all that. But I would rather have Ingram fill Lewis' role and have Elam available on game day. Crazy to me that the camp reports had him in a very close battle to start and he is a healthy scratch.
I don't think he is a world beater, but Elams skill set is a tool this team needs in its tool box on game day. This game is a great example of that.-

My quick $0.02 on this is that the call was a Brady gaffe and not a McD gaffe. The only fail safe was for Allen to spike the ball. Once the unit went out there there they either had to run it or spike it. A time out was the same result. With the way Allen was playing overall, he was confident he could get the ball in himself.
McD's presser about that play was him falling on the sword for the staff. -

Do you know if he has an opinion on the HC who keeps losing because he hasn't learned the value of leaving time for your HoF QB to make a play after losing a game in 13 seconds?
QB isn’t good enough. LA Rams have a better one. Because palm trees. -
I’m a big Ja’Marcus Ingram fan, but having Elam as a healthy scratch is a giant mistake. Both should be dressed. We struggle when either outside corner gets dinged up.
I am not a Cam Lewis fan and would prefer to get both Ingram and Elam on game day.
Milano shouldn’t be starting yet. For the second week in a row I would have liked to have seen Williams out there. Milanos snap percentage is waaaay too high.

I don’t know who that is?
The GM of the Buffalo Sabres who after maybe the worst lost in franchise history held a press conference this week where he claimed that a big part of the problem with the team was that nobody wanted to play here because:1. Palm trees
2. NYS taxes
3. The team keeps losing.

Answer is #2. They were shredded and pathetic.
A 100% agree with you. But there’s others that lean into 1 play or 1 decision. Today was a weird one where we had a unit, a play, and a coaching decision.My quick $0.02 on the late QB sneak was that it was a major Brady gaffe. The unit went out there, and the only way to over ride it was going to be calling a time out so you more or less have to run the play.

“Listen, I’d go to war with a lot of these guys. But there are a lot of good players across the league who don’t want to come to Buffalo. We don’t have palm trees. We have taxes. California has taxes but they also have palm trees. And ultimately I think that was the difference maker today”
- Kevyn Adams, probably

Fix one of these things and the probably Bills win this one:
1. One Play: The punt block
2. One Unit: The Defense
3. One Decision: QB sneak late in the 4th.

Maybe we should get out of that zone defense. Stafford is toying with them now.
I would like to get Milano off the field. He is better this week, but the defense has been a better unit without him.
I was saying just saying I wish Elam was dressed, it’s worth a shot getting him to man up on Nacua with some safety help. Outside of that punt block Nacua is murdering us.

I would love to hear some honest answers from the team in the post-game (maybe some "yeah we got pushed around", "we got humbled", "we weren't ready today") instead of the "its one game", "we have some things to clean up", "I need to play better" canned BS.
Palm trees.
They just don’t have the players to match up because palm trees.

Rapp has been guilty of some egregious friendly fire.
Obviously the most unfortunate for Douglas.
But also an unfortunate moment for Rapp to be tied too. He didn’t even go for a hit on that one.

Josh running off the field laughing when we're down 10 felt strange
Did you miss the full replay?
The defender bumped face masks to trash talk and Allen exaggerated it to try and get a call. He didn’t get it so he laughed it off.
I know we’re losing but it was hilariously dramatic.

So far Kevyn Adams is super thrilled with the first half.
Curious if Pegula granted his request to travel with the Bills this week. Because…palm trees.

I totally agree there’s people bad enough at every nfl game to elbow their way through a family and buffalo is no different but this particular story just doesn’t add up for me still
idk who hears a drunk guy that has been supposedly assaulting you with snowballs all game say ‘I’m gonna shove my way through those niners fans’ and doesn’t immediately attempt to get his young child out of the way it is just straight up bizarre. It would make a lot more sense to me if they didn’t hear the guy talking about what he was gonna do and he just came out of nowhere.
I am pretty convinced the family was intentionally letting this guy by and he lost his balance and bumped the girl into a chair
It may have gotten lost in the thread, but I think it’s important to weigh this with the fact that dad is an effing MARINE!A drunk guy had been hitting the family of a marine with snowballs. Then assaulted the young daughter of a marine. Then the marine just quietly packed up and went home.

Or, "Yes sir, can I have some more of that delicious hate! Love me some serious Pegula hate! More more more please!"
Terry’s run with the Sabres isn’t just bad in relation to his peers across the league. It’s among one of the worst spans in any of the big 4 sports in the US. That isn’t hyperbole.
Terry Pegula is a sports and organizational doofus. McBeane play him like a fiddle and we should all be grateful.
At this point Beane might have enough pull to operate independently, but based on Terrys prior running of the Bills and current running of the Sabres; it’s not a chance I would take.

Yeah but the sabres are a joke of an organization ... He's tried to make hires plenty of times
It's not magically a terry thing... It's like the bills when we were bad for 17th Straight years... It has a lot more to do with the GM and top down scouts and coaches than it does the owner
He wants the sabers to win .. you're crazy if you don't think taking guys like Owen power #1... Good player certainly not worth number one player taken in the world
Jack Quinn in the top 10
Isak Rosen in the first round
Nylander in the first round
Even taking a guy like mitts top 10 ... Didn't pan out for buffalo
We have not been drafting guys who come in and produce
We literally were last overall for years... Should have gotten the rights to draft mcdavid... But the lottery hoses us and we get stuck with eichel who never wanted to be here
Another player who just didn't care ... And we gave him the keys to the franchise and made him captain and he didn't care .. that's not Terry's fault
It's the players at the end of the day
Players love playing for Terry pagula on the bills.. he's not magically a different guy with the sabres lol
It's a player issue
It is 100% an organizational thing because the owner made it one. And when the Bills missed for 17 years straights it’s because they had an owner in his 80’s and 90’s. A big pet of the draught was Ralph’s inability to lead. That’s almost unanimously agreed upon.
Let’s not forget Terry’s secret meetings with Darcy Regier when he first took over and when questioned his response was “nobody has a monopoly on hockey knowledge”
Nobody answers to anybody but Terry. He’s super open about that. He has preached flag management since day one. We saw it with the Bills when he hired a HC against his GM’s wishes. Then fired him without consulting him. There’s loads of examples like this at KBC.
Terry Pegula is so much more culpable than just accidentally hirng the wrong HC/GM 100% off the time.
Think about that. At very best Terry Pegula has made the wrong GM/HC hire 100% of the time for 13 straight years. And dozens and dozens and dozens of NHL players refuse to come here.
Here is a set of insane Pegula lead Sabres stats. The day Pegula purchased that Sabres they had the 4th highest P% in the history of the league. From 1971 to the date of purchase only 3 other franchises had been better via P%. They’re now 13th. If you took Scotty Bowmmans best 10 years ever. Not best 10 year span, but best 10 seasons and linked them together starting next year, the Sabres still would not get back to 4th over all in P%.
Think about that. The 10 best years from the best coach to ever coach the game still wouldn’t be enough to right the wrongs of Terry Pegula.
The Sabres also used to average 99%+ attendance, near the top of the league, and were 82% last year, 4th from
the bottom.
What Terry Pegula has done to hockey in Buffalo is possibly irreparable.
Hes maybe the worst owner the NHL has ever seen and we’re incredibly lucky that McBeane have been able to play him like a fiddle. For that I’ll be forever free grateful.

The sabers are bad.. because outside of this year.. they've had terrible goal tending for years
They draft 19 year old kids bring them right up to the NHL.. and then let them leave when they're 25 and they go off and be studs for other teams like Reinhardt
And we're in what would be considered the SEC of hockey
The bills are good because we have a steady head coach and GM which the sabres don't have ... Josh Allen
And home field advantage means a lot more in football than it does in hockey
We're not perennially good without Josh Allen
.
This is not an accurate view of the Sabres.
Players leave because they hate being apart of this org under Pegula. They didn’t just trade Oreilly, he literally lost his love for the game here. Reinhardt isn’t here because the org botched it and he’ll never ever return.
They’re widely considered a disaster and are on just about every player (who has ones) NMC.
Pegula didn't accidentally become one of the worst owners the NHL has ever seen.
He did it by proactively sitting atop the organizational food chain and putting in place a structure where nobody is in charge and he constantly plays tie breaker and internal politics are more important than being good at your job.
Pegulas run with the Sabres is HISTORICALLY bad.

oh Jesus… what? 😂
Yeah, they showed him in his suite with what was clearly the depth chart and a bunch of other papers (that I assume were play calls) with a pen taking notes while watching the game.
He’s not Jerry Jones. I think he means well. But he’s not a great organizational leader.

My views have been that Terry is an historically bad NHL owner and showed similar behaviors/patterns in Orchard Park before hiring McBeane.
Because of that I am forever in the “keep McBeane until they decide to hang it up camp.” I don’t want Terry to have to make any more NFL decisions.
If that means 10-7 from Josh Allen retirement until I die then so be it.
EDIT: To add on, anybody else notice Terry’s with the depth chart and play call sheets with a pen on SNF? The reason the Bills are successful and the Sabres aren’t is because the GM/HC have a prior working relationship. Imagine both those positions being independently hired and both equally rolling up to Terry. That’s the Buffalo Sabres and that’s how bad the Buffalo Bills can be.-

"I'm gonna push through fans" doesn't sound like throwing someone down the stairs or even deliberately pushing someone down the stairs.
As several people have noticed, the stairs were icy and snow-packed and people were falling on the regular without any pushing at all.Wait, how are the Bills currently trying to clear the seats and aisles?
I believe largely by hand. -

Maybe I used harsh words... But the headline of the article is literally family calls for change after young Western New York cancer survivor bad experience at first game
Then it just quotes his father talking about the game... Where he says Bills fans behind him specifically said they were targeting niners fans with snowballs all game in the head
Then the father said a man said.."Well, I'm going to barrel through these Niner fans anyways,'"
So we were painted out as people who maliciously throw snowballs at opposing fans and just shove them for no reason but that's not Buffalo
They've supposedly never been to a game before and they're painting us all like bad people... A lot of bills fans would whoop a guy's ass if they saw that

Mia and Mike said they hope what happened raises awareness to what some kids are going through — even though they are battling for their life, they still are out there trying to enjoy it.
“I know that there’s competitiveness and whatnot, but there’s a point where it’s a family event,” Mike said.
“I just want to help and not be rude,” Mia said. “I’m just there to be a nice girl and just have fun.”
Ralph Wilson stadium is absolutely a lot more family-friendly than it was 20 years ago and 99% of people would never tolerate anything like what happened... Bills fans are not the problem
An ass is
Oh god, the Sabres are one of the quietest/most family friendly arenas in the NHL.
I hope Terry misses this point.
But also, a similar franchise, the Packers, have snow blowers built to fit in the aisle of the seats. It’s totally crazy to me that the Bills haven’t shelled out for this considering that have some of the heaviest snow falls in the league.

He saved the Bills 14 points against the 49ers with the shoestring tackle on CMC and the forced fumble at the goal line and those have been typical plays this season.
In Beane and McD we trust.
Rapp had really settled down as the season has gone on/he came back from protocol. He’s been a great player for us. Arguably as important a contributor as Bernard is.-

Where was the defensive adjustment on Puka Nakua?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Even though Milano was better that the SF and not a major liability this game, this is exactly why I wanted Williams back in there while we were getting gashed. As a unit, these guys have been moving together really well all year. Milano looked like "the new guy" last night.
