We have all seen teams worse than our Bills overcome 24-7 deficits with a half a game still to play. They seem to be missing inner mental strength to overcome difficulties. Maybe they got spoiled on a soft schedule. Maybe coaches aren’t adjusting enough. Maybe they just think Josh will pull a rabbit out of a hat to win. They were missing key players yesterday but good teams find a way to overcome obstacles. Whatever it is, they better figure it out soon.
How often have you seen it in a rain and wind storm? How often have you seen it, when the opposing offense is still scoring every time they touch the ball.
The O is off, I have been saying all year they have not lived up to potential but to judge them after Sunday’s loss is ridiculous. 24-7 and the only stepped on the field twice. Sure the first interception hurt but our D gotta play better then they did. You can’t catch up when the D gives up points on every drive. Bills moved the ball quite well early but mistakes lead to a turnover and Bass missed two kicks. Even if Allen didn’t throw the first pick, 3 points was not a guarantee there in that weather.

Get rid of the rotation. We ain’t running much so keep the best guy on the field as much as possible. Right now, that’s Breida

DL rotation itself isn't a problem. I think not having a consistent blue chip player there is really hurting us. It's really an overall issue with the defense in general since McBeane took over. Lack of difference makers on defense. They have great depth and overall talent and play really well as a unit but they lack the top end talent to really dominate. They can abuse below average offenses. We've seen it now for a while to be able to call it a pattern.
Having a good DL rotation behind a stud (or 2) is probably the ideal situation for how we want to play defense AND i think that player most effectively would come from an interior DL position.
I think obviously the Bills are missing that player. Ed Oliver has played well IMO but he hasn't been at that All-Pro level that i think you really need.
In regards to Addison and Hughes, i think you are seeing a little bit of age creeping in. I doubt either of those guys is here next year. Yeah, they are paid well but NFL salaries are based on past performance for the most part and going into the year both of those guys weren't grossly overpaid.
Long story short: is not the rotation; its the lack of high end talent.
It’s possible the rotation is slowing down the development process of these players we drafted high. 4 guys drafted in the top 2 rounds the past 3 years, Ed was the first guy drafted and is finally starting to make an impact in his third year.
Bashem and Epenesa are hardly on the field. Our depth is great because the product above them is below average

I’m confused with Daboll’s obsession with Moss & Singletary? Every time Singletary gets the ball I’m quietly I’m telling the tv “don’t fumble don’t fumble…” I’d rather Breida get a bulk of the carries w/ Moss as a short yardage back.
It’s the whole system, so many situational players in constant rotation. They look like Singletary between 20 and 20 and Moss between the 20 and goal line situations and pretty much any short yardage.
Same can said for our DLine. It changes every week based on opponent. We have wasted high draft picks on guys who are hardly on the field. It’s frustrating. You want guys to grow and improve but how can they if only used in certain situations?

They held them to only 17 in the second half?
17 points on 3 long possessions -

Perhaps giving up 286 yards and four touchdowns on the ground is really what creates doubt in the players' minds about the game plan.
I have never heard a sorrier excuse for refusing/failing to make adjustments. And you can qualify that by saying "adjustments and major changes are not the same thing," but that's splitting hairs. Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
I would have had more respect for Frazier if he had just admitted his game plan sucked.
We seemed to get really gashed by the run once or twice a year since McD was hired. They are all against teams we know are gonna pound the rock. This isnNt a game time adjustment it something it’s poor game planning -

That game might have been different under a roof. Josh throwing zingers in the rain are harder to catch, same with field goals.
A lot of things could of made it different. Maybe if we took the first kickoff we would of scored first and put the pressure in them. Sadly we were down 24-7, our O only stepped on the field twice and really had no problems moving the ball until the damn penalties. I don’t know. That game just got of hand way too quick and for the most part the O was in the sidelines.
A roof would of helped as well. Bass probably hit that late first half FG and make it more respectable at half

I don’t think you can say a player who didn’t play had a direct impact on the game. Indirect…maybe.
Id also take it easy on the selfishness aspect as these players are allowed to do whatever they want with their bodies. If they didn’t want a vaccine that’s their prerogative.
what killed us were a few big plays early (the Addison missed sack and the McKenzie fumble). After that, we just seemed defeated
With Covid availability is what could make and break the season. Star and Spencer are key parts of this team that are very hard to replace at this moment and if they got the shot they could of helped. As a fan it sucks but all we really do is watch the game. If I was his teammate I’d be really pissed off because with all the work put in I’d hate to let the group down and I’d hope every other player would think the same. JmoWith all the studies on the risks of football and the problem players have after I don’t think the vaccination is a very big deal.
At the same time it’s probably best we deal with this crap in week 10 instead of playoffs. That’s if we make it.

Funny thing was, we knew from the opening drive what they were gonna do and they did it for the whole game. It ain’t working, try something different

When he busted that one run I literally said out loud “how in the hell is this guy not RB1!??”
Last week he had 2 TDs that the other two guys just can’t make

Breida looks way better then the other two slugs. Get him rolling alittle more and teams will have to gameplan for our run, right now no one gives a ***** about it. Teams are only focused on the pass.

Go for 2 when the game is over but try a long FG in the wind and rain when it’s still in reach.
And then no go for the onside kick. Haha

Long FG attempt in wind and rain countered by a Colts rushing TD. Ed Oliver ran right by the handoff on that long run

Any little bit of hope was just lost on that 3 and out

This game is gonna be lost because of availability of a couple guys who decided not to get vaccinated. Key players we need against the Colts.

Doyle gotta be an option at this point. The group that played in Jacksonville can’t be assembled together ever again.

Week 12: Bills at Saints on Thanksgiving
in The Stadium Wall

Same thing that happens once or twice a year since McD was hired. A team comes out and runs the ball all over us. limiting possessions, eating up clock and scoring a shitload of points.
