I don't have the numbers but I felt like the Bills ran lots of play action last night. What they failed to do playcalling wise was just stick to the middle of the field. Kincaid, Knox and Shakir inside was their advantage. I felt like they finally got to it on the penultimate drive but it had been crying out for more of that sooner. There are teams who try and take the middle away against the Bills and force them to their below average receivers on the outside. This was the opposite. The Pats didn't want to give up the outside they were trying to dare us to stay patient in the middle of the field and we just didn't for the most part.

Yea the pass protection last night was not a problem. The difference in the game was out of structure Diggs got open for Maye. Out of structure nobody separated for Josh. Sad as it is Stef would still be WR1 on this team.

Think this is a very fair way of summarising it. The offense beat itself last night. The defense actually played alright in patches, was decent enough for once on 3rd down, but has bigger fundamental issues on the backend. The Pats started to cook once they abandoned the idea that they needed to run it and just let Maye throw the ball against our secondary. Tre is slow as hell, Rapp is ill disciplined, Bishop is still late reading and reacting and Benford.... I honestly don't know.... but he has had one good game out of five and that was the Jets (who suck).

Yea well that didn't happen. But you do you.

Both rookies are on IR

Really poor. And the sort of game that Josh would often pull out with one or two magic plays out of structure, well it was their guy who did that. The Bills made too many mistakes. Beat themselves. Struggled to adjust. But New England were better than us. They coached it better. They executed it better and their Quarterback managed to basically neutralise the Josh factor by having an outstanding game himself.

It was gonna land right at the 1

Yep. They were better out of structure than we were. 100%

New England deserve to win. They have played better than Buffalo.

If we have a FG block play now would be the time to call it.

Drake Maye can ball. If they put more around him he can be really good.

They called a safe screen instead. Shakir dropped it inexplicably.

That was execution. Shakir drop on 1st down then Allen got out on 2nd AND 3rd down and extends and STILL nobody separates.

Again I am afraid two plays in a row there Josh gets out and nobody can get open

Another called shot play. Again nobody open

They have been blitzing a ton.

Great hustle Shaq Thompson. Huge play.

You have to pin Maye in. He is more dangerous when he escapes.

That's another nice redzone call. That entire drive is really what we needed to get to much sooner. The tight ends inside

I think that is probably the ball game. We had to hold them to 3 there. They called against Bosa's tendency to crash inside.

He is out now. Questionable.

Bishop has to make that tackle.

D has to get a stop here.

Yea that's just on Josh. Throws into double coverage. Doesn't see Jones on the undercut.

Even I was calling that OPI. That's just sloppy play.
