Really it was his fault his QB was dumb and tan the ball to end the half? Or his fault an obvious PI wasn’t called? I mean he had his backup 1 play away from beating the Bills..

I will go with: Bills 19 Bucs 17 All FG drives but it’s enough for a Bills win.

The eye test disagrees with the “longest time to throw” stat. I’m not saying it’s wrong but it felt like Baremore was getting into the backfield on almost every snap. Allen broke like 3-4 potential sacks with his strength on Sunday and scrambled away from pressure a lot as well.

No difference? The Patriots averaged 12 points on O, the WORST O in the NFL. They scored 29 against the Bills. Jones only had pressure on him (per bleacher report) 22% of his drop backs while Allen had it 52% of his drop backs. Now does the loss mean the Bills are doomed? Heck No! It does mean they need to fix some things before they hit the truly hard part of their schedule. the next 4 games are Bucs, Bengals, Chargers, Jets. They need go 3-1 at least, because the Next 4 are Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Chargers. That’s a tough stretch right there. All 4 will be tough on any Defense.

I would say the O line is a major issue, Allen was pressured on almost 50% of his drop backs by a d line that has struggled to get pressure since Judon and Uche went down.

Except Purdy has more weapons than Allen and a D better than Buffalo. I think the 49ers are the best team right now in the NFL.. but any given sunday

Also to put less stress on their backup QBthat they will have in all year.

Their D is still not as good as SF. They lose to them in the NFCCG game and Hurt has 3 TO.. calling it now lol

The Pats could say the same thing about their D. They were missing their top 2 pass rushers in Judon and Uche, had their top 2 corners out as well in Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones. If both D’s are healthy it’s a much lower scoring game and probably a lot more turnovers on both sides.

I believe since it was a forward pass it is considered ok.. but don’t quote me on that.. like I said the refs were to involved both ways.

It shouldn’t be possible if any of those 3 were suppose to cover Bourne.

One difference is Murray and the Pats defender hit hard and knocked the defender down. These Henry at least made an effort to make it look like he was trying to put into a route.. 3 people shouldn’t be able be blocked by 1 guy. I looked at it and it felt like all 3 were tying cover Henry. The last guy should have been on Bourne at least and he either released slowly or blew the coverage.

Brady is the GOAT, and Mahomes IS the best QB in the NFL and they have some young WR that are coming on, and FYI they won when Kelce was out as well for a week.

Outside of Diggs who else does anyone else worry about in the Bills O? Kincaid? Most of his YAC came on bad missed tackles, most teams won’t be afraid of him (yet). Mind you Allan missed a wide open Diggs twice. One where he just blew by both defenders and he was going to the house if Allen hits him in stride.

The missed FG was weird it was like the win took it. I never seen a ball turn like that before. the Bills D big issue IMO was the inability to get any sort of consistent pressure on Jones. I think that’s why they blitzed so much. I know a lot of people blame the secondary, but if you give ANY QB time they will shred your D. Bills O wasn’t sharp but they did give the D a 3 point lead with less than 2 minutes left.

If Mayfield has time like Jones had he can pick the Bills apart as well.. but will they be able to run like Stevenson ran on the Bills?

That wasn’t stupid IMO. The front 4 were not getting pressure and even blitzing Jones still had a ton of time. I think he was sacked once and knocked down 4 other times and that’s it?? Your coach was trying to get to Jones so he would do Jones like things and throw a pic or some other stupid mistake. The problem is the Bills D just never could get pressure.

Well IMO I’d be more worried about how many points the D will give up to good Os like KC, Cincy, and even the dolphins who look rather normal the last few weeks.

First play of the game , Knox was open but Allen threw it late and got picked off. He also was open a lot too just not thrown to. Davis is a WR so not what that had to do with me saying the TE were open.

Except both TE were always open not just Kincaid. The Pats were focused on taking away Diggs as much as possible. Which they did pretty well, also I didn’t see any drops by Diggs (I did miss the 1st quarter though)

Jags are a legit team and that start can probably be explained away easily. The Giants they came in cocky expecting to win with half an effort and were able to escape with the W by the skin of their teeth. Yesterday the bills team again looked like they expected to win just because they are the Bills but the D only made 1 real play even in the second half and unlike the Giants the Pats were able to finish the drive at the end of the game. I am shocked by all the O complaints when your D gave up 29 points to the worst O in the NFL.

The Pats D is not bad. If you look at the stats they are top 10 in total yards but points allowed they are 26th. Why? Because the Pats O turned over the ball a lot giving teams extremely short fields or a free 6 points without the D being out there. Yesterday the O almost did it again turning the ball over at what their own 35? The difference was the O got the ball back and the Bills D got zero pressure on Jones and he was able to match the Pats down the field. IMO the loss is more because your D allowed the worst O in the NFL to score 29 points.

The Pats D right now is average.. if they ever get healthy they are top 5.. but the Bills are IMO to Diggs reliant now. Pats shut him down in the first half and for whatever reason the Bills didn’t just keep feeding the TE who were constantly open.

The Pats have the worst O line in the NFL. The worst! Mac Jones had more time to throw than I have seen since Scar was O line coach. Injury excuse is just poor. That Pats were missing both of their best Pass Rushers in Uche and Judon, as well as the top 2 corners In Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones. Yet they got constant pressure and contained Diggs as well as a team can contain Diggs. IMO the Bills saw the Pats as a win just by showing up and found out that wasn’t the case.

Success, may I ask if I see one huge weakness for the Bills today. I would say it was the O line, Allen was under constant pressure and the Pats were missing their top 2 pass rushers. Could the lack of time be speeding up Allen? I’m asking..
