We lost Tre, we lost Milano, we lost Jones, and clearly Von isn’t back to himself yet. But this defense is holding it together. You’d almost think we lost Josh, Diggs and Cook based off the box score

Reminiscent of a Thursday night game about 8 years ago which was also a color rush game. And Ryan Fitzpatrick came in and tore the Bills to shreds. Looks like Tyrod is picking up where he left off.

This team is maddening sometimes. I used to think Beane and McDermott were aligned perfectly but I don’t know anymore. I think our GM wants one thing, our coach wants another and clearly our OC wants something totally different. Not sure why we drafted a CB in the 1st if we weren’t going to let him loose. Have no clue why we drafted a TE first who was going to be our hybrid slot/te and he doesn’t catch a pass further than 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. Not quite sure what Harry was for. Or Sherfield for that matter. Used good money on Settle who hasn’t moved up the depth chart from #4 DT (granted is solid in a rotation). Gave big money to Knox who is most famous for an angry run or 2 every year. Just nothing seems to fit right.

It’s cool to see a team call creative plays

Thank you!!! Run it. Now you’ve set up play action. Put me on the payroll I could have told you this

Let me just call one drive. Give me a shot.

Cook has looked good all season and I have barely seen him other than being WIDE open on a swing pass on the giants last LB blitz. Gotta find that balance again. Murray has also run hard this game.

Hate the penalty but Ed has been balling out this year. I’ll take a penalty here and there if he’s going to get the point across that you are ******* with this d-line. Just no penalties in the 2nd half

As much as I’d like to hate on the NFL and Goodell, I can’t. Jet lag isn’t a new invention that just debuted in 2023. Jet lag is real it’s been around and most likely 90% of the people in the building have experienced it. Someone should have seen the competitive disadvantage that we were potentially going to experience and plan around it. I would have much rather our players came out flat and slow on Tuesday in an England practice than what I saw today which was flat, slow, and out of it on a Sunday. That’s literally the whole reason teams practice to work the kinks out and prepare. Jet lag was a kink that didn’t get worked out until we were more than 3 quarters through the game.
Every analyst on TV was stating how unfair it was that the Bills had to go up against this disadvantage so if they knew the Bills should have known and tried to mitigate the problems.

As Von Miller would say this is good medicine. And I think we’ll have plenty of medicine this year

For as awful as Dorsey was Stefon Diggs was wide open on a crosser on the interception throw to Davis. And there were at least 8 yards of open running room on the interception throw to Hardy.
There are times when this just doesn’t look like an NFL offense. I remember during Josh‘s peak with Daboll he would drop back his back foot would hit and boom the ball would be out to Beasley or Diggs. Then when all the chips were down he’d roll out and make a crazy magical toss to Davis. It seems like that’s all we rely on now. Just magic and we run out of it every game

I’ve said it 50 times and I’ll say it 50 more. 13 seconds was our super bowl. That was our game. That was our year. With every passing day that we get farther away from 13 seconds the more it haunts me. We’ve done nothing to better ourselves from that game.

For everything that happened tonight to me this is the call that is the icing on the cake

I’ve had a history of pretty awful takes.
1. I thought Aaron Maybin was going to be the next Shawne Merriman
2. I didn’t understand why we were playing Kyle Williams over John Mccargo
3. Didn’t understand why we were playing Fred Jackson over CJ Spiller
4. I thought the Reggie Bush signing was going to put us over the top in the AFC East
5. I thought we drafted the wrong Josh. Rosen in my mind was ready to play.
6. I bought my season tickets within a week of us hiring Rex Ryan. He was going to be our guy
7. I spent most of my childhood hating Kenneth Davis and didn’t appreciate him until he left.

I can only assume they are bringing him in to be a severely poor man’s Tyreek Hill which I can get on board with.
But the skeptic in me is still waiting on the edge of his seat waiting to see the packages we have for Nyheim Hines that sadly never surfaced in 2022.

Apparently a bunch of NFL GM's disagree with you. Handful of teams wanted him
And I’m sure those handful of teams don’t have McKenzie or Hines. I’m not knocking his merit as a player I’m wondering where he fits and if it was the optimal signing. Won’t have an answer for that until kickoff but I guess I’m just surprised by the pickup with the needs of this team. -
I just don’t get it. You want someone running jet sweeps we have McKenzie and for far cheaper. You want a threat in the return game we have Nyheim Hines and once again for much cheaper. This just seems like a weird use of resources.
Obviously I could be wrong and maybe he adds something dynamic that I just don’t see but it seems awfully expensive when we could have taken a flier on a 6th round WR at a fraction of the cost and paid for a MLB instead

Of course it’s coaching. We lose our identity in the playoffs. The Chiefs are Chiefs-lite all season long then as soon as the playoffs hit you know they are going to get creative on offense and sling it around and their defense is going to press and play gritty clingy coverage. Same thing for the 49ers they are a fantastic regular season team but it almost feels like their defense moves faster and hits harder in the playoffs. The Eagles leaned heavy into their running QB and running game all playoffs. Barring Josh’s epic playoff run in 2021, once the playoffs hit I don’t feel like I’m watching “Bills football” let alone an amped up version of it.

Yikes I thought the elephant in the room was that our defense has completely folded and been god awful the past 3 playoff exits and everyone keeps blaming Frazier for running McDermotts defense. That seemed way more elephanty in the roomish.

4) defensive malpractice: for guys who claim expertise in defense, this team's defense sucks, on ice. It's a worse version of the colts finesse defense under Dungy. It plays zone 90% of the time but can't stop a third and long if their lives depended on it. I'm over the soft zone. Time to go.
I agree with everything else but give at least some credit to Dungy his defense made more sense than what we run. When you have Freeney and Mathis on the edge (and not in some dumb rotation) eventually they’ll make a play. Rousseau and Epenesa are not Freeney and Mathis.
I was blown away by how many times I saw our DE’s dropping back into coverage yesterday. You had a backup o-line. We shouldn’t have needed fancy looks. Colts weren’t dropping Freeney into coverage on 3rd so that Gary Bracket could try his hand at pass rushing.-

Lots of hot takes will happen this week, but I feel like the bills forgot how to have fun this season. Everything kinda felt like a struggle. Gotta get back to playing loose and just having fun
I agree with you on the field. But off the field I would argue the opposite. Off the field they were having plenty of fun. Kyles basement, Vons podcast, locker room karaoke, frequent McAfee visits, etc.There was a weekly Josh Allen MVP tracker and Jordan Poyer had a weekly interception tracker when he was smiling about maybe averaging 1 a week (both trackers proceeded to fall off of a cliff after week 5).
I can’t remember a year since the early 90s where there was so much Bills content to watch outside of Sundays.
I think this team was reading its press clippings and halfway through the season realized oh crap we aren’t just going to stroll to this super bowl and then pressed when they realized their destiny wasn’t just a given.
Winning is fun

Man Frank Reich really had the Eagles rolling when he was their OC.
Unfortunately I think the motto “trust the process” is going to sell this all as part of the medicine needed to win a championship and nothing happens.

NY Giants @ Buffalo Bills - SNF 1st half game thread

As Bills fans we should be complaining about our injury plagued defense letting down our world class offense but somehow this offense took more steps back with Milano off the field than our D did.
