I have learned to avoid soul-crushing disappointment like that by simply resigning myself to the fact the the Bills can and probably will lose no matter what the score is at any point in the game. Still live and breathe Bills football, but there's no way in hell I'll ever "Billieve" in anything other than their almost unparalleled ability to lose games in any way possible.

How much did you guys think we were going to lose by? We knew it was going to happen, but did we expect 4 unanswered touchdowns? We could have literally sent no one onto the field during that time and given up fewer points. Rex Ryan's team, for a significant part of the second half, was worse than not even playing.

Well the difference is that we actually... somehow... played a really good game against Seattle. The Bengals played one of the worst games all year, but we were content to match their ineptitude step for step.

Not to mention the easiest 3 yard toss to close out the game that he missed by 10 feet.

He was thinking he had a free opportunity to gain some yards. It's a smart play.

Again you have no argument. Defender shoved the receiver away from the play. That is interference. Sorry.

He has a right to the ball, but he can't shove the receiver with both hands before making a play on the ball.

Goodwin should have fought for that ball on the pick, but the ref standing right there should have thrown a flag for blatant interference. Just shoved Goodwin out of the way and then had an easy catch.

Can we have Kyle Williams smack Gilmore upside the head the next time he looks around at his team after blowing a coverage?

When they take a look at this and confirm it's a catch, will they also fix their !@#$ing awful spot? Jesus these guys are bad.

There has never been a more clear cut "rougher the kicker" penalty. Ever.

Darby gets pulled and the Seahawks don't even bother to go after the rookie taking his place. They just burn Gilmore twice in a row. No respect.

Ha just in time for Gilmore to get hurdled like a punk.

Darby was out of position on that play, but that's a horrible PI call. Getting your feet tangled up is a non-call every time.

Considering they've been giving up big plays since Week 1, I think adjustments may be too much to hope for.

Can anyone explain why our cornerbacks this year are content to escort wide receivers down the field without ever even attempting to make a play?

Are any of our defensive backs going to play at some point today? Just wondering.

You have to knock that ball out of Brady's hand. A sack in that situation is just another stupid play that will lose the game.

I understand if you're a cornerback and you're expecting help over the top. But that doesn't mean you can just give up on the play. You should be able to cover these guys 1-on-1. The safety is there for help, not to do your !@#$ing job for you.

No, he didn't. We just didn't use him.

Does he want a job? I think we may have a GM position opening up soon. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought he left because he couldn't work with Whaley?

That's the only possible excuse I could come up with for Gilmore. The refs made it clear very early that the Jets receivers could push off constantly but our cornerbacks couldn't even be near them. Actually, another pretty good excuse is that he had zero help from the [non-existent] pass rush and [non-existent] safeties. When the coaches AND the players are terrible, there is no hope.

Remember when Hughes got a personal foul for tackling Flacco by the ankles? You can't take a QB out of the game for a hit to the head and not call a penalty for a hit to the head.

Exactly. The Broncos and Seahawks can commit terrible penalties all day long, but they won't get called because they're the poster teams of the NFL right now. We get called for breathing too close to the other teams because the NFL doesn't give a **** about us.

I know the defense wasn't very inspiring, BUT... It's not entirely their fault. 6 points directly off bad officiating, and neither the refs nor the offense will let them get off the field and stay off. That offense, though... no excuses.
