The Bills organizational philosophy is that running the ball is almost a wasted down , except in certain circumstances. That’s their take on the modern NFL and it’s why they have Josh Allen. It’s been very successful and they think it will win them a worlds championship. They could have built their team to excel at the ground game, but I’m glad they didn’t. People act like they will never lose a game. That doesn’t happen in the NFL, especially with a 17 game schedule. The Bills failed to execute several offensive plays yesterday that were there for the taking. That’s why they lost . On to Baltimore…

Exactly.. why pretend that Beane/ McD didn’t draft Josh Allen and he’s not on the Bills? Most HCs and regimes would be fired if they didn’t hit on a franchise QB in the draft.

First goal is always the division title : you can’t get the 1 seed without it. No part of what I saw yesterday makes me think Miami is going to win 10 in a row or anything.

We’ll know sometime late in 2023. Check back then.

Needed a sideline route or go to the ground immediately run up and spike. Would been a long attempt but Bass in good weather is a decent chance anyway.

Couldn’t disagree more. The big uglies were not to blame today. You don’t get those kind of disparities in yardage, first downs etc getting whipped in the trenches. The skill positions failed at key moments leaving points off the board. That’s really it. Bills should have had 30 or more today including the safety.

Yep. Probably had a much better chance of downing the Dolphins with a depleted roster. Jackson is a better QB than Tagavailoa. Need wins vs BAL and KC.

He got the ball back with 1:15 or so and needed to get the team into field goal range for the game winning attempt. He did not succeed. He would get a lot of credit if they won. It works both ways. I’m sure he’s not happy with his play the last couple possessions.

Yep. The Bills have been remarkably healthy the past few seasons. That’s just not going to happen every year.

Me too. I hate blaming officiating , but we didn’t get any calls of consequence today.

Coaching was fine. A couple play calls questionable in goal to go, but players didn’t execute routine plays or TD’s would have resulted. This loss was not on coaching , especially with a depleted roster.

Even with all that preceded this( Davis dropped TD, blocked / missed FG by Bass etc) this was likely the biggest play of the game and it’s a pass Josh hits 9 out of 10. His reaction showed he knew it too. The play led to the safety and the Bills getting another possession, but Josh failed there too. He was the only reason they were in the game yet also the one who didn’t come through when needed. Strange but that’s how it went. The D was fine save for the 3rd and 22.

I feel good about their talent and ability to be in every game, but make no mistake this was a blown opportunity that could haunt the Bills come playoff time. The Super Bowl is the only thing that matters for this group anymore and their chances took a hit today.

Hard to call todays stat sheet a clunker. The Bills and Josh failed to close but they controlled this football game. This loss is definitely on the offense but it wasn’t a clunker on that side of the ball.

Bills offense blew this game ( surprisingly ) and Dorsey knows it. On to Baltimore

Just donated $23.01. Get well soon Micah! Go BILLS!!

Not sure about this. The Bills already show extreme aversion to punting , run the ball only occasionally and continue leading the NFL in point differential as they did last season. My guess is they stay the course on offense while adjusting defensive strategy to account for Hyde’s absence.

I don’t think there’s a designation for that, but the teams gotta win one for Hyde!

Have to agree. Hyde’s awesome and this news sucks, but next man up. This team is built to win a championship top to bottom and the coaches will do a great job dealing with the challenges presented. Go Bills!

We will see more of these endorsements as Josh’s popularity increases. It comes with success!

Maybe they are. I’ve never had seats in that section.

Good point. Am I the only one who misses the bench seats? Always enough room in those.

No, not really though I don’t prefer it. This isn’t a new phenomenon either. Most games it’s just standing for the big moments / plays. However in the ‘90s glory years my old section ( B 7) stood for entire playoff games. Regular season I’d prefer to sit sometimes. There’s nothing wrong with standing though if that’s the general mood of the section. Not standing doesn’t make one virtuous either, that’s ridiculous.

Yep, I’m looking at this from a “ fantasy” perspective with an holistic approach lol. Kay was just annoying to me and never cared for her much so no great loss. Don’t like her replacement too much either but have only watched a few times.

Agree. Now , that Cynthia F on the other hand…. Put her on GMFB please.
