That throw was open. Lawrence just missed him.

Are they? Jags marching up and down the field on them. Should be trying to tie it up right now.

That was nasty from Hunter

This game, so far, is about as impacted by the officials for KC as humanly possible.

Looks like a TD… barely, but ruled short on the field might keep it with KC

They were 100% rattled and influenced by how hard Mahomes came at them about “1 yard”

Mahomes just bullied the ref into giving them a TD

Trevor Lawrence apparently feels like not being a serious person tonight.

Tyquan Thornton a friggin godsend for KC

Really concerning that Benford keeps ending up on the bad side of these grades. Say what you want about PFF, but it matches some breakdowns of his play. Bernard is what he is. He’s not a top tier linebacker but has a knack for making big plays. I can live with this from him. Benford has to be better for the money we’ve given him.

I don’t think the Bills can play him any longer .. even if/when he’s healthy. We can’t keep operating like this at Linebacker. And it’s not fair to the rest of the team/coaches to gameplan involving a guy who 50/50 makes it through the game healthy.

Burn the phones up for a WR trade. We have way too many holes on Defense to plug up. Were a WR upgrade away from having an unstoppable Offense. The only weakness we have is at outside WR. That’s it. We’re above average to elite everywhere else. Defense could use a DT, DE, LB, S and CB2. We have Hoecht and Ogunjobi coming back, along with whatever Hairston can be. And while CB2 has to be addressed, we’re not a CB2 away from fixing this. Give the Offense what it needs to be elite and change the philosophy on Defense to be a boom or bust unit. No more of this 7-8 minute drive ending in a TD garbage that both shortens the game and results in a touchdown. Take chances, knowing this team is Offense driven. It’s the best chance we have to win this year and then hope and pray Hairston can get on the field at some point and/or we find a CB2 before the deadline.

Ingram over White. It honestly can’t be worse. Once Hairston gets up to speed (if he gets up to speed), White should be on the PS in a Poyer role.

We need to get Tre out of the lineup.. and honestly maybe off this team. The Poyer role is where he should be sadly. He just can’t play anymore. But an issue that’s not fun to talk about once we get that situation resolved is how Taron looks on his last legs and newly paid Benford has simply been… mediocre.

Maye had Diggs vs Tre White Josh had Coleman/Palmer vs Gonzalez/Davis. That was the difference.

I’m not knives out for Allen.. Im knives out for this FO that refuses to give Allen an acceptable WR room which inevitably leads to games like this where he gets beat up physically AND mentally, leading to mistakes he rarely makes. And Week 5 isn’t the end of the world, but this is what we see year in/year out against KC in the playoffs with Allen having to be superhuman while Mahomes can simply play QB against our undersized decimated soft Defense. The Allen mistakes don’t make me want to rip Allen .. they make me beyond frustrated that Beane won’t give him what he deserves at WR year in, year ****** out.

Brutal from Allen here…

Fwiw.. I’m not super interested in hearing that we need a WR1 to see how good Brady is. I think we need a WR upgrade and would be all in for a WR1, if available, but giving Brady a WR1 means he has the best QB in the league, a Top 3 OL, Top 4 RB, Top Tier TE Room and what would be an upper third WR room with WR1, Shakir, Palmer and Coleman. OF COURSE he should be a beast with all that. And given the issues on our Defense seem systemic and numerous… WR1 seems to be the best way to mask the issues this team has. Because the Defense likely needs a CB2, LB, S and potentially another piece on the DL. No way we can address all that.

People will say “well, who do you want” and it’s fair to acknowledge the risk in blowing it up … but if we can’t make it to the Super Bowl this year, what are we doing? As you point out, it’s systemic. It’s the same issues every year. That points to philosophy, coaching and team building .. not just bad luck.

OL gave Josh Allen all day to throw. No one gets open. The run game wasn’t ideal, but the Pats are built to stop the run and we simply don’t have a counter when when our outside WR’s get locked man up and the Defense can drop the rest into zone coverage with only Shakir and Kincaid as reliable targets. UP Kincaid, Shakir, Pass Pro DOWN Tre, Coleman, Rush Discipline

Bills didn’t deserve to win that game, but Hochuli and Buffalo is an issue at this point. Enough data to support that. And if you’re going to call soft contact all game, you can’t swallow the whistle when the DB hits Shakir before the ball arrives on a critical 3rd down.

Ravens increasingly looking like the Division is going to be their only shot at the Playoffs should they lose to the Rams on Sunday. Bengals will fall out of contention, but I see 6 teams with staying power (IND, BUF, LAC, KC, DEN, NE) plus the Texans who have the head to head against Baltimore and whatever JAX may be.

He was good, but yes.. the throating is over the top. Bills with a non-traffic cone at CB2 and recognition that you can’t let Drake Maye break contain, likely shut that Offense down. Tre White and zero rush discipline made him look like JA’s equal last night.

Pats schedule is concerning. Not many tough games for them. They could definitely stick around, especially if we stumble with the issues we have going on currently.
