Why in the hell do defensive backs and LBs never turn around on passes anymore? Rodgers threw that right at Bernard.

These refs can F OFF!!

OMG I think the Bills just got what people call a "break".

Great play by Rapp.

WTF what was that call??

It wasnt the block it was the jumping on the dude on the ground. Brown has been getting the face of the Jets D all night. Unnecessary and it cost them severely on that play.

Brown = IDIOT

Wow NFL and their idiot rules strike again!

Bills doing everything they can to give this game away just like the end of the Texans game.

OMG what a Billsy series. Terrible Penalty, Unnecessary TO, Dropped pass and then a safe 5 yard pass play as if Bass is kicking well and he misses.

What a BS call.

I said as soon as they got that last past they will throw a hail mary on the last pass. Amazingly, imbecile McD rushes 2 to insure that Rogers has a ton of time to set up and throw and of course the Bills look like they have never practiced a hail mary defense. How can he be this stupid? How can Babich be this stupid?

Two man rush on the greatest Hail Mary throwing QB in history. Yup thats Billsy and thats McD putting his team in a negative position when it matters.

That kick wasnt just a miss it was as if it got caught in a 100MPH crosswind. Bizarrely bad.

Soft Zone no pass rush never works but McD sticks with it every time.

This is logical but NFL franchises have incredible blind spots to situations like ours. I have always thought that the Bills would win a SB despite McD if he was the coach, never because of him. 13 seconds and a bunch of decisions since, small and large, have just cemented that opinion. The Bills would have to have the stars align in a playoff run, ie peaking with momentum, opponents injuries/bad luck and fortune on their side to mitigate the common McD in game management ineptness and the sometime unpreparedness factor. As for the rest, I think Pedersen gets fired, then Stefanski, Daboll then McCarthy.

Excellent point.

Daniels looks great but his OC has designed an offense well tailored to his strengths.

I remember being amazed as a teen watching the NFL in the 80s how it appeared that so many bad head coaches got 2nd chances in the league after catastrophically failing in a city. Then they would go on to fail spectacularly in a new city soon after. Rich Kotite for the Eagles and Jets comes to mind as my favorite example. But this also happens with coordinators as well. Dorsey had Josh Allen and huge depth of surrounding talent at his disposal and managed to neuter of all them. How could the Browns take a look at his body of work and come to the conclusion that he was the guy to turn around the franchise and work with the resurrection of Watson? Just insane.

Having a defensive struggle against the Jets does not bode well. It will be a replay of last years first game which was excruciating. Of course another week has gone by and there is no additional help from outside for our offense. The Jets may have something to prove after getting Saleh fired and we dont tend to win these emotional matchups with McD not being a Levy like "win one for the gipper" type coach. Then again the Jets could implode all over like last week or the Denver game. Heres hoping.

One of the things about the Diggs trade with the Vikings that I loved was the Bills stepping out of their conservative comfort zone to go after him. It was just something that this regime didnt really seem capable of doing. And it really worked out for the Bills and should have resulted in a SB if not for 13 seconds. I guess the Von signing was another move that you could argue was like this but obviously went sideways. They desperately need to do something like this again to shake up the roster. Adams or Cooper, either one would be a huge boost and their presence on the field would not only be positive for Josh but open up opportunities for other receivers. I would love to see either here and I hope Beane has the wherewithal to do it.

True but throwing three low percentage passes by a QB from his own end zone while he's having one of the worst games of his career is pretty much maximizing your chances of losing in regulation.

Concussion or not. Allen went 0-5 on completions after he came back into the game. I've never had a concussion in my life but I think its safe to say that having one or getting your head slammed off the turf would impede your throwing ability and/or accuracy. Definitely affect your decision making and reading of the defense but it seems that the Bills never once thought about keeping Allen on the sidelines because he might have been concussed and didnt seem to think that it would affect him despite the fact that his day was already horrendous. And of course we have a completely incapable backup who cannot be trusted with anything but handing the ball off, so why is he on this team?

As crazy as this sounds I would agree with this but it aint happening in a million years with this HC. He is all about the control but not about the accountability for the mistakes that keep happening no matter who the DC is.

Well if the Bills cannot win this one with the Jets such a mess what will that tell you? On 2nd thought, Maybe this guarantees the Bills will lose. McD seems to get bested in these emotion filled games where he has to inspire the team as much as the opposition.
