50% O line
35% D line
15% OC and DC
Lose the battle in the trenches you lose the game. Got whipped physically all night long on both sides of the ball. Coaches could have helped somewhat by quicker pass patterns and/or some blitzes, getting 8 guys in the box. But as long as football has existed it comes down to beating the guy in front of you, and the Jets were just simply better last night.

Contextually speaking, getting smoked by the Jets is worse than getting smoked by Baltimore.
Also contextually speaking, this isn't the first time we've seen something like this happen...is it?
Why? There is no reason to say this other than to pile on.

I'm glad you posted this, because given your track record it means the Bills will shut down Brees and do just fine next week.
Why do you take delight in bashing a team you supposedly support?

I forgot to add that this team is Missing Dareus when it comes to stopping the run
Right. The unmotivated tub of goo would have been the one player on the field last night that would have elevated his game and everyone else's.

Our 4 home games are vs the Saints, Pats, Colts and Dolphins. I would love to share your optimism but after watching last night's debacle, I'm not ready to declare all 4 of those home games victories. Honestly speaking, the ONLY one right now I would chalk up as a guaranteed W is the Colts. The Saints offense is starting to run on all 4 cylinders, the Pats are the Pats, and we can only hope the Dolphins without Ajayi will pose less of a threat than last year.
I'm sorry but last night's loss has me feelin pretty down about the rest of the season. It never seems to fail with this team, McDermott now included. The Bills play well, string together some impressive victories, win some games they shouldn't, and people start buying in. National media even starts giving the Bills props, [insert coach name here] starts getting chatter for early Coach of the Year, then comes the talk of "hey these Bills are different". Up comes the ONE primetime game on their schedule, where the Bills have the chance to show the world they are for real, and what do they do? Come out and sh*t the bed, in the absolute worst way, leaving everyone saying the three words I hate hearing, but have no argument against, "same old Bills". This loss hurts.
Till last night they were 5-2, right? And in the two losses one more caught pass here or there and they win those. Last night was bad, the entire team from coaching staff to players had a bad day.
So you would take one bad game as the norm, vs. 7 games where they either won or were right there at the end? Why?

It should not be an excuse for last night. They simply got physically outplayed up front. But as for the concept of Thursday night games, I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that one of the reasons viewership might be down is that there are relatively few games on many Sundays. Sundays for years was football day. Now with byes, the addition of Thursday and Sunday nights games, there are times on Sundays there are only a couple games to watch at 4:00. So if the owners think there's validity to that they may rethink things.
From the players' perspective, I think they all hate the Thursday night games, and I would be shocked if in the next CBA negotiation they stand strong for getting rid of them.
They'll never do Friday as it competes with high school ball, and same on Saturdays for colleges.
It was a greed move originally by owners to increase revenue, but these Thursday night games may wind up biting them in the butt.

I would hope Ducasse is replaced. He got steamrolled last night.

Ik the Jets arent bad, but a playoff team doesnt lose that game. It was pathetic. Couldnt get a thing going. Mediocrity is one thing I am sick of!!! Grinds my gears lol
Playoffs teams lose games like this all the time. The Steelers got clobbered by the Bears as an example.
Terrible performance last night. But McD has changed the mindset at 1 Bills Drive. Look for them to come out firing next weekend.
-
Relax after losing to a sh***y Jets team?! A great team has no chill. Remember how many times the Pats* ran the score up on us?!? Petal to the metal. This loss was disgusting. We had a chance to take 1st tonight and flopped. Same ol Bills. F this ish. Still will contusion to punish myself though lol
Jets aren't as bad as many thought. They just flat out took it to the Bills last night. Credit to them - sometimes the other guy is just better on a given day.
Get back home, get back to good fundamentals. Bills will be OK.
-
They'll defend their own dirt. Gets them 4 more wins. And beat the Fish in Miami.
The process took a bit of a hit last night, but if the process works they'll come out and take down the Saints next week.
-
They may be.. but not really an excuse for the poor execution.
-
I don't know if it's a defense mechanism. But it certainly seems like some can't wait for the team they claim to be fans of not do well
-
Got away from fundamentals. I imagine the HC will have a lot to say to them about that.
-
Bad day all around. Bad coaching, bad blocking, bad pass rush, bad tackling. I expect McD and his coaches will make sober assessments, make necessary changes, then come out and beat NO at home.
Chicken little folks need to calm down.
-
Sometimes the other guy just is physically better. O line is being dominated.
-
Jones is the only guy that's playing tonight.
-
Easy to place the blame so far.
-
Dilly dilly could describe the O line play.
-
We got ourselves a football player
-
Just flat out sad.
-
I have a Kelly and a Tasker jersey. Last two wins with the Kelly jersey. It stays on till we lose. Sit in the same chair in front of the same TV
-
23rd in the league in rushing yards per attempt and every football coach hates turnovers.
And?
We run the ball. Yards per attempt times more attempts equals more yards.
-
We throw less because we have a good running game and because the HC hates turnovers. This isn't rocket science.
-
Jones is more dangerous to the future if the NFL than Goodell.
Why did our D suck so bad tonight?

If you think he was good every game you're simply using wishful retrograde thinking. He wasn't.
