ganesh

I wouldn't call outstanding defense. They have given up big plays on 3rd downs with their bend-but-don't-break defense. They also missed out on finishing plays.

+1. Bills fans need to set the bar higher on the standards expected of their starting QB for us to be consistently in the playoffs especially from a division dominated by the Patriots I have to agree..our ST coaching is terrible.

I think Beane and McDermott have equal power and report to the President of the team (Kim). McDermott drafted Peterman before Beane came on board. The biggest mistake Beane made was in his hurry to hoard draft picks decided to ship McAaron to the Raiders when he could have kept all the three QBs on the roster. This would given both Allen and Nate to learn the game more. Everyone talks about Allen sitting for a year but no one is talking about why Nate shouldn't do the same...After all he was a 5th round draft pick from last year. If McAaron had been retained, this mess could have been avoided. The HC and GM overthought themselves and saw what Nate did in pre-season and annoited him the starter only to pull him out in the 4th quarter of game 1....What is troubling me is that LACK of Faith in your starting QB especially after you shipped his competition the previous week and then threw the rookie to the wolves. For this Beane and McDermott need to be held accountable. They have clearly made a gross mistake at the most critical position on the team.

And that was 15 seasons ago. The NFL has changed significantly since. You got to let your rookie take his lumps...He will be much better next year.

Bend but don't break. This defense thrives on turnovers and giving the offense a short field position. Yesterday. that did not happen. WHen that does not happen, this bend-but-dont'-break just falls apart.

When the defense causes turnovers and keep the field short we win. Today, the defense was good but did not create those turnovers. We had a few chances including a chance for a pick-six and missed it. Those are the small things the Pats do very well to make a difference. The DL got a lot of pressure on Brady, but the scheme gives Brady all the time to pick up first downs with quick passes. Loss of Edmunds in the 3rd quarter hurt us. Also, the Pats OL always holds and gets away with it. I am actually struggling to understand why Anderson is the starting QB. He was brought here to mentor Josh Allen, not play QB for the Bills. I would have preferred that this team actually play Nate even though he may struggle like Anderson. After all Anderson has equally been this turnover machine. Now with his hand injury it may not matter that Nate will start next week. I really can't wait for Allen to come back

Will Josh Allen be back next week. I have seen enough of Anderson

You might as well just play Peterman

we just can't get a break!!!

Please No. Haley disobeyed his HC in Pittsburgh and was canned. He did the same in Cleveland...same result...Stay away from him

This bend but not break defense is finally breaking.

He has no game awareness.

With this offense, I got to agree

nfl.com is reporting that GW is the Interim HC

I see the Bills trading for Bridgewater or Sam rather than Tyrod.

Didn't our Josh do the same to win his game against the Titans!!!

Got to agree. Allen has already demonstrated a lot of things that we have not seen in other former Bills QBs. including leadership. His footwork is still bad...that is indicative of bad coaching...His reading of defense is limited..but then that is a common theme for all rookie QBs..

And he could be a good one for Josh Allen

170 to 180 yards passing 50% completion 10-20.

+1.. Good to see Hughes being highly motivated .

What has that got to do with the Pegulas...They have hardly owned this team for less than four years.

The fault here goes to the OC and HC for putting the Bills in this position. They did *NOT* put the ball in the hands of the best player on the field...McCoy. They could have just killed the clock and taken their shot in OT.

But what did that Foursome do ON The field when they donned the Bills colors....Nothing!!!

That is not true. The TOP was pretty much even (and in fact the Bills offense had the ball for a longer time in the 1st half).

ONe thing I did not like with this defense yesterday was the number of 8-9 yards Miller was rumbling on 1st down plays...They were fighting against constant 3rd and shorts...That will make your 3rd down completion % horrible.
