And then proceeded to miss a wide open Beasley for the win and then couldn't lean forward six inches for the first down. I love Allen but he played like ass in the second half. He could have just taken the easy throws underneath and closed it out stress free. Instead he took bad sacks and made bad deep throws.

Umm Moss dislocated a guy's shoulder a few weeks ago AND got the TD. He runs hard.

They only needed six inches for the first down. It is mind boggling that they failed

Josh had an awful game. So many easy plays ignored in favor of missing guys deep. Defense didn't show up. Absolute garbage.

AJ is inactive.

Nice chop block by the Chiefs there. Obviously no call.

Love the way Rousseau sheds blocks.

So this guy becomes a fan in 87 and is probably whining about fans during the regular season matchup against the Bengals in 1988. These other fans are talking about how "the run defense needs to be better" and "Kelly has to protect the ball better." And this guy is berating these fans for being so negative about a team that's 10-2. Then comes the AFC Championship game and these same problems resurface and the Bills lose to the Bengals again, ending their season. So yeah, it's great to pound Miami into dust. But it takes a little more nuance to understand that sloppy football won't get you where you want to go. If you just want to be a cheerleader, that's cool. But maybe lay off when other people want to actually talk about what they're seeing.

The block looked fine until he rode him five yards out of bounds. Should have been a personal foul call. It's also pretty disappointing he walked away from the Bills' sideline totally unscathed. I feel like that kind of behavior should start a brawl.

I don't think people dislike Sanders as much as they like Davis. We drafted the kid and he had an amazing rookie season so people, including me, were excited to see him get to work as the #2 with a year of experience under him. Sanders just disrupted that. Now I don't know if Davis is better than Sanders or not but I thought he was underutilized yesterday.

Oh, so you are allowed to analyze the game, but everyone else needs to calm down. Got it.

That is how football works though. This isn't basketball or hockey where everyone plays offense and defense. They are completely separate entities. If the defense only gives up 16 points, they did their job well. Obviously it's still a team loss, but you can't say the defense played poorly when they only gave up one touchdown. Just curious, would you still blame the defense if we lost 6-3? 10-6? Where's the cutoff?

When I saw that Moss was a scratch I thought we'd be seeing a lot of 11 or 12 sets to chip block their DL with some bigger bodies and set up some short routes as relief valves for any pressure. Turns out, nope. Just didn't even take into account one of the best DLs in the league and decided to go 00 even when it was painfully obvious it wasn't working.

If you're discussing the performance of the defense, then you can absolutely disregard points off ST. If anything, a blocked punt is more closely related to the offense.

I actually haven't heard that at all. If true, it's interesting that he decided not to put any of that preparation to use yesterday.

I mean... He is literally a starting QB in this league, so...

That punt didn't get blocked because the punter is slow. It got blocked because someone missed their blocking assignment and the defender came right up the middle. No other punter would have had a different outcome.

Running plays are much more predictable. The mystery here is how they covered 5 guys with only 2 decent backs. Drops and missed throws killed us all day long.

Disagree about DL and punter. The DL played very well the first half until the Steelers figured out they could just hold them every play without getting called for it. Haack had a few very nice punts and didn't shank any like their punter did (or like Bojo used to). On the blocked punt one of the Steelers came right up the middle basically unblocked.

So is Goodell using bad officiating as coercion for the Bills to build a new stadium? Or are the officials really this incompetent?

Sanders got clotheslined before the ball got to him. No call. Pretty evident we still have to play against the other team and the refs.

Our DL has looked pretty good today. They are being held on literally every play. Like the Steelers are not even concerned about penalties.

Maybe, but we wouldn't get it. And they shouldn't have either.

I think we found one of the guys who's been drinking in the RV lot since Friday.

Great throw and catch. Really important TD to end the half.
