Jets showing that cheaters do prosper. Dirty hits on Allen and Hauschka affecting their performance.

dirty hit from behind on Huaschka wow what a tough guy on the Jets!!

How does the Bills Db not pick that off?? I mean he doesn't even touch the ball!!

We have gifted them ALL of their pts!!

STs coach please be gone by Monday!!

Clay makes an easy catch = first down. But he drops it as usual. Next play Josh fumbles because the defense gets a reprieve from Clay

Allen got hit in the head 3X on that drive. Only 1 called. As good as he is running, he cannot last with that kind of punishment and dirty hits!

The second season that I paid attention to the Bills when I was a kid in 1980 he was a leader on a great defense. A true superstar back in the day.

I was at that game as well. Had a great time tailgating with a couple of buddies and it was a pretty entertaining game, however I do remember feeling the same way you did. The Bills were losing, Kelly was out of the game and whatever buzz I had from the morning beer fest had worn off with the stress of the game. Suddenly it dawned on me that there wasn't enough time for the Bills to come back and Kelly looked broken on his way out. They were going to lose and they did. It was a pretty bleak car ride home!

I think the NFL probably has 3rd party confirmation of the "B word" comment, otherwise Hughes would be in some serious hot water right now. Its nice to know that Hughes wasn't crazy at least during his shouting threats part of the post game. However the total denial stage with reporters where Jerry claimed he didn't know what they were talking about. That put me right back in the "Jerry is crazy" camp.

Possibly, but maybe tied with Rob Johnson.

KB was probably one of the worst acquisitions the Bills have made in the past 40 years. I have to say they got swindled! About the only excuse I can think of for KB was that injury he took vs the Chargers in the Peterman INT fest game greatly affected him. Other than that he had a bad attitude and appeared to be really lazy. In addition he failed in so many clutch situations. Good riddance!!

I often feel that way reading some posts on here!

The All 22 captures the moment quite well. Clay clearly gives up on the play and assumes that Allen is going to be sacked. I'm not sure if he waves his arms at all to get Allen's attention or Allen just sees him wide open. He looks really slow as he moves back to the ball almost like he didn't see it coming until it was in the air. But he has a ton of time to get back to the pass precisely because the pass is a wobbler. Clay is also not pressured by anyone so he is not distracted. He then stumbles and dives but still the pass hits him in the arms and he just completely botches it. Totally catchable ball that was dropped and it snuffs out whatever slim chances we had.

So if Schopp is Zeus, who is Hercules? Who is Apollo? The rest of the Pantheon must be identified!!!

I thought it looked bad right when it happened but I was thinking torn ligaments. Bodine hasn't been great but I thought he was starting to play better. Allen is harried and pressured enough as it is without this happening.

In some ways I feel bad for him. He has had a lot of bad luck and some incredibly bogus calls go against him. In the end though he made a number of blunders that killed them in crucial games. McCarthy's job was to make sure that he elevated all the talent that the team and put them in a position to win. Instead he had them second guessing themselves and losing to lesser teams.

Like the old football saying goes "if you can touch it, you can catch it". TBH it doesn't even look that hard to do. Clay just trips on his way back to the ball and half dives at it. He should have caught it right it in the breadbasket. It wasn't a great throw but there was nobody around Clay to distract him. He just dropped it.

I seriously think there are many players out there who think Allen is a racist (based on his teenage tweets) and take every opportunity to hit him late, hit him in the head, go after his legs or hit him out of bounds. I have seen this behaviour from opposing defensive players starting with that dbag in Baltimore who clotheslined him the sideline. These players know the refs are almost blind and wont see it or call it. The refs seem to be totally oblivious to these cheap shots and today was no different. Allen was hit late on at least 4 occasions but was not flagged. He was hit out of bounds once, hit low after he threw, and slapped in the head and head tackled at least 3 times.

There are all kinds of time when I think I could catch an NFL pass thrown ferociously by some cannon arm QB, even at the age I am now, 50! I'm probably about 90% delusional about that. But I have no doubt in my mind that I would caught that floaty duck that Allen threw if I was as wide open as Clay. The whole play was like some sort of tribute to backyard football, Allen scrambling around, buying time. Picks up a huge block and heaves it down the field and by the time it hits Clay its sooo slow and he drops it. Whatever thread the season was hanging by snaps right there because a guy cannot do what he is paid to do and practices all week long. Charles Clay and Kelvin Benjamin, the anti clutch, anti money dynamic duo.

It was a blatant hold. No consistency from the refs whatsoever today. Head tackle bad then its ok. Holding bad on some plays, just fine on others. Roughing the passer? well that's if they bother to pay attention once the pass is out. Low hit on Allen's legs? Refs didn't notice!

Thanks Clay, season over after that drop

how about the obvious not called pass interference??!!!!

Here comes the final screw job!!

The neck tackle on Allen is one of the worst no calls this season. It almost pulled his helmet off. They should have been first down on the 18 yard line? Instead they miss a FG.
