  1. And what did Watson do in the first half ? Allen’s second half was disappointing for sure, but the coaches blew this game in a quarter and a half with a 16 point lead. Their all pro WR had 90 yards the second half as well, so he won that matchup. If either of two Bills defenders get Watson on the ground, the Bills may have pulled it out and you would be staying away from this board for at least a week or so.
  2. Didn’t really notice as the game was going on, but I’m not surprised. Don’t forget the Bills TD that was overturned when Corrente had correctly given the TD signal. The Texans basically got the New England treatment, as the NFL obviously wanted the JJ Watt/ Watson show.
  3. One guy had a perennial all- pro WR to throw to. The other had scraps that can’t catch a perfectly thrown ball in the end zone. Watson is better, and his team won because he made one amazing play to not get sacked . The Bills don’t win by 30 if they have Watson; that’s just a gross exaggeration.
  4. Completely different situation as it was an INT ( the rules don’t call for a signal from an intercepting player fo obvious reasons) and White made no effort to advance the ball. He may have even went to the ground. In this case the ruling would have been correct and absolutely should have been a TD for the Bills. If it was the other way around, the TD would have stood and the Bills coaching and player would be skewered for not knowing the rules. The lateral was a reckless play in many ways, but it did not cost the Bills this football game. It didn’t even cost them the chance to win , so it’s pretty pointless to think of what calamity may have happened if HOU recovers, etc.
  5. And yet the team had a 16-0 lead on a division winner in the playoffs with less than a half of football to go. The coaches and players blew this one, there just isn’t any other way to spin it. Now, it’s quite likely that their playoff road would have ended at Arrowhead stadium . The offensive deficiencies we’ve all seen this season may have been too much to overcome. The Bills, however were not overmatched vs HOU. I will agree that going forward, offensive improvements are necessary and your premise is valid. That doesn’t excuse them from not securing the franchise’s first playoff win in 25 years this weekend.
  6. That’s a bad sign, and shouldn’t be overlooked. The offensive coaching, personnel and the QB haven’t been good enough to solve the riddle of Belichick. McD has managed to foil Brady , but the Bills need to take a long look at everything on the offense.
  7. That’s a catch NFL WRs make with regularity. He dropped it.
  8. I really hoped Sean was the guy to bring some respectability back to the Bills. Now they’re talking about “ yet another in the list of epic Bills playoff losses”. That really sucks. It’s one thing to lose in the playoffs, but the more you look back at this one the more embarrassing it is. A 16-0 lead in the 2nd half should lead to a win in the playoffs, but McD was McDud tonight.
  9. Daboll can go. He’s not the OC to take this team where it wants to go. McD / Beane need to do a lot better here.
  10. Rules are in the book for a reason, and attention to detail should be admired not scorned. The Bills ST players knew it was a TD and reacted to the play accordingly. If a Bill had done that on a KO it would have been called a TD for the Texans and it would be pointed out incessantly on ESPN etc.
  11. This poll needs an “ incomplete/ maybe”.
  12. They need better players on offense for sure, but this one is mostly on the coaches and their unwillingness to close the door on HOU. That’s an excuse for poor play that followed. It was about 25 yards of field position different from a punt.
  13. Wrong. If it is fixed and Allen does not improve , that will be a problem.
  14. A full second lag is usually deemed beyond the margin of error and will be called. It wasn’t.
  15. Didn’t seem like the coaches found him troublesome, if the 1 on 1 blocking was an indication. They should have devoted more attention to him.
  16. Good blocks lead to points. You don’t want a new QB, you want a magician ?
  17. Seemed to get rid of the yips he had earlier in the season.
  18. Add that in with the bad illegal block call, two missed facemasks, blown call on KO that should have resulted in a Bills TD and a 20 -0 lead etc etc. League got the matchup they wanted. Watson and JJ Watt Vs Mahomes.
  19. Most everyone on this board is ticked off. This game was more winnable than at JAX as they had a 16 point lead in the 2nd half. It may not have been 35-3, but HOU got their revenge. Not sure what you’d like fans to do about it, but no one’s smiling after this one.
  20. Have to see them with a full arsenal. Not liking the tendencies of Daboll. He’s good for a splash play here and there, but too many head scratching strategies and lack of situational awareness.
  21. Offensive RT, Ford moves to G. FA WR, drafted WR, drafted RB. FA pass rusher, FA LB. Consider moving on from Daboll.
  22. Wow was it 46 times ? I know it was an OT game, but if I’d been told before the game that Allen would pass 46 times I’d be almost certain the game was a loss. Probably trailing for most of the game too, not a 16 point lead.
  23. One more offseason to complete the rebuild. SF has done a great job, but they’ve had their QB for 3 seasons, and I doubt they turned over the roster on offense as much as the Bills. That was by choice to be certain, but that doesn’t put better players on offense any faster. I don’t believe SF has won a playoff game yet. Not saying they won’t , but that rebuild is a year ahead imo. Your mileage may vary.
  24. Yes. Allen needs to subscribe to the idea that a punt isn’t a terrible thing in that situation.
  25. Ball security in the open field is a major concern with Josh . Fair point.
