The bolded portion is a big factor. Josh and his receivers demonstrated elite boundary ability. How does a defense stop that? Those are great plays that kill YAC, but ultimately help extend drives and win games.

Can’t get excited after the Bills were bounced, but at least it’s something new. If it had been a repeat 49ers-Chiefs, it would have been less interesting.

This mirrors my own thoughts. If Frazier moves on, I would hope for McD to look for someone that’s going to be more aggressive with blitzing the QB. It is an obvious missing piece given McD’s coaching heritage. Not sure such a change would help against KC since Mahomes does a great job against the blitz, but it would help against many other teams. It would probably be more fun to watch as well.

I get the push for drafting defense, but it seems like this team was an OL or two away from hosting this game in Buffalo. (Steelers week 1 and Jags game come to mind as instances where the O-line was beaten pretty badly.) If this game was in Buffalo, maybe the Bills catch a few more holding calls or any other minute edge… Ed Oliver was held damn well close to the entire game.

Will do. We all need to grow, right? Or does it not work that way?

Or does it not work that way? Ridiculous… GREAT play calls with 13 seconds remaining. I mean… GREAT! Right? Seriously? Christ… get a clue…

I disagree. If I was pissed off about how my staff handled a situation like this… I would have done the same. We often talk about players developing and growing. These coaches need to do the same. Coaching lost this game, but that doesn’t mean we need new coaches.

Completely disagree on this take. It was obvious he knew coaching decisions cost the team. Was big of him to say, “it’s on me” multiple times instead of directly throwing anyone under the bus. Don’t know if I could have done the same.

I “liked” this. I think the Bills coaches do a great job. However, the coaches were clearly the reason for the L tonight. What I keep asking is, “can these coaches grow from this?” I don’t know. I have hope.

This WAS a super bowl year. Everything came up Buffalo and the coaching staff blew it.

The coaches really did let their players down. That last 13 seconds of regulation was fatally bad by this staff. The error is shockingly clear. That’s what makes this so dang hard to comprehend.

what should have happened: 1 - squib kick 2 - double hill and kelce 3 - win What actually happened: 1 - Gift Mahomes an extra 5 or so seconds 2 - play 0 or 1 coverage on hill and kelce 3 - lose The decision making by the coaches in that 13 second span was really, really bad. The players did everything needed to win.

GO BILLS!!!

Go Bills!!!

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Way to go, Hyde!!!

Not going for it on 4th and 3 in plus territory when down by 14 in the 3rd quarter says it all. McDermott is chicken ****. That’s not winning football.

And Josh looks Knox’s way a disproportionate amount of the time when Josh is under duress. It’s a costly habit.

At least the weather should be nicer…? *shrugs*

McBean have always said they believe in building the team starting with the lines. Tonight HAS to be seen as an absolute failure of their ability to implement that philosophy.

Knox was TERRIBLE tonight. Wish Josh Allen would choose to throw those desperation tosses Diggs way more often.

The Bills just aren’t good enough. That hurts.

Can we get Moss a helmet that won’t pop off his head?

Bills lose to Steelers. Now they try against the Fish. Two losses would hurt.

Way too many penalties today. Blocked punt was terrible. Kicking a FG while in the red zone with ~6 minutes left was a bad, bad decision. Deserved the L. PIT had some very good plays all around. Sucks to lose this - will be a tough tie breaker to overcome.
