My gut told me the same thing. 1st and goal at the one after a long time consuming drive and then you get pass happy. Then you go mega aggressive on offense when you should run to make Jax burn timeouts and go into halftime up. Instead lack of thinking makes it tied at halftime and you knew Jacksonville would improve in the 2nd half. Any semblance of offense and Bills win this game easily! Just a couple thoughts: 1. Huge kudos to Shady. What a gamer!!! 2. This loss wasn't on the Defense. They did everything you wanted them to do. 3. Hopefully TT is okay after the hit he took at the end of the game. Disappointing he didn't run more this game. Big plays were there all day but his hesitation was on full display. Most passes were checkdowns or super safe short passes. No anticipation at all. 4. With that said, #1 priority is a QB in the offseason. 5. Solid first year under McDermott. Culture is established. Adding a QB that throws downfield, a playmaking LB and a stud DT run stuffer will be instant upgrades to this team. 6. Hopefully they can resign EJ Gaines at CB. 7. Need to add depth at RB and CB. 8. Offensive Coordinator needs to go. When you haven't a scored a TD in the 4th quarter in ages, you have major issues. Plus just no sense of urgency at all during the game. 9. Hats off to BillsMafia! You showed the nation the passion our fanbase has. Super impressive. 10. In the end the Jags were certainly the more talented team but this game was there for the taking. Bills failed to make the critical plays when needed and unfortunately that's the thin line between winning and losing in the NFL. High expectations for the 2018 season!!! Havent been able to say that in a very long time.

Agree. 20 seconds is an eternity in the NFL. With it being first down they could of ran a quick pass or run and then spiked the ball as you suggested. Ballgame over.

Was in my late 20’s when this game occurred so rewatching it really made me question a few things regarding the controversial ending. 1. Why did Wade elect to kick the FG with 20 seconds remaining when it was first down? I know they were out of timeouts but a Peerless Price had just gotten out of bounds for a first down. 2. They could of ran one or two more plays and gotten closer leaving just a few seconds to kick the FG. No time would of remained the game if they chose this path. 3. Surprised they didnt kick it deep and the coverage during that play was atrocious. Sad seeing a game end this way as it seems it all could of been avoided. Wade was a good coach but this one has to haunt him with his decision making the last 20 seconds.

Vikings, Green Bay, Titans,NE and Jags would seem like the games that have potential for a SNF or MNF.

Please no to Alex Smith aka Trent Edwards! I’d rather keep Taylor. Improve the roster with your draft capital and move up into the teens if necessary for a QB. With Cousins, Manning, Bridgewater, Smith, Keenum and Bradford potentially all available it will push some QB’s down. If somehow Baker is there mid teens go get him! Guy just looks like a Buffalo Bill and you don’t lose much of your draft capital!

IMO, breaking thru to reach the playoffs does so many things related to changing the culture and mentality of everyone associated with the Bills! 1. They achieved a goal they set. No more same ole Bills. 2. They did it when their overall talent level is low. Talent level should increase and think of the expectations if they can land a franchise QB. 3. It shows they are in it to win it which is a huge message with FA’s, future assistant coaches, etc. Who wouldn’t want to be part of this with such a rabid fanbase. People shouldn’t underestimate the scene at the airport. That doesn’t happen at 99% of the other NFL teams! 4. Lastly, winning establishes a minimum bar of what is expected going forward. No more disappointing stories about losing, relocating team, etc. Now the stories are about a stories franchise, small market city that loves its Bills, BillsMafia, rising young coach, fans coming out of the woodwork who lost faith but now wear their Bills apparel with pride and lastly RESPECT! Would love nothing more than to beat the Jags and knock Brady off of their pedestal!!!! LETS GO BUFFALO!

Good!!! Lost total respect for him for what he did to White. His punishment was even more embarrassing for a league that says it cares about player safety. I so wanted the Bills to do the exact same thing to Brady when he was on the ground. It would be a player that had no prior history of suspensions or fines and then he could say he was frustrated by the lack of holding the referees weren't calling which led to him acting out on Brady. What could the NFL do since they set the bar with what Gronk did? If our player was suspended for more than one game it would look like favoritism to the Patriots. It also would of told the Patriots this isn't your same old BIlls team! More of a baseball or hockey mentality. You do that to one of our players, someone else is going to get it on your team! Would stop this nonsense real quick.

I really don’t want another cast off FA QB. We need to hit on one in the draft. In addition, need DT, OLB, CB. Most likely an OG and RB as well. First four picks should be QB, DT, OLB and CB. Will be nice to have a healthy Shaq, Glenn and Benjamin to start the season!

I'd like the Bills to get their QB this year. Trade one of their first and next years first to do it but don't trade both this year. Still gives you your QB plus your another first, second and thirds to still address needs this year. QB, LB, WR and DT with your first four picks. RB in later round. Address other needs in FA.

Go get your QB this year. I don't want another short term journeyman. We could still have two first round picks this year and trade next years first to move up. SF, Chicago, Texans, Colts, and Bucs are potential trade partners depending how everything plays out. Right now we are starring down the barrel at 7-9.

With the way KC and Buffalo are playing, I don't think we are going to need to trade up. We finish 8-8 at best. We must land playmakers at QB, DT and LB with our first three picks! If Peterman plays the rest of the way it's a 6-10 season which lands us in the top 10 for drafting.

Yep......WR.....wait you had one but declined the option, DT.....wait you had one but traded for a 6th rounder and required a double team freeing up your linebackers. Franchise QB.....wait you could of had one in Watson but wanted a CB. They must absolutely nail their picks in the first 3 rounds.

Saints punter should of been inactive today!

Surprise NO doesn’t put in their 2nd team offense at this point!

Saints are making them eat dirt! Handing it off straight up the gut for huge yards!

Ran it right down their throats for 94 yards with every run for positive yards. No pride on D at all. Second week in a row Bills have just laid down.

TT turning into Captain checkdown AKA Trent Edwards!

Getting absolutely smoked! Sorry but McDermott your process sucks! You’ve totally screwed up the run game, have a QB that will only throw to a wide open receiver and the defense is made of glass. Stupid unforced penalties and can’t tackle. Seen this story play out too many times. Bills will be lucky to win two more games. Embarrassing on all levels,

Saints know TT has turned into a check down machine.

TT inaccurate throwing, Bills d can't tackle and getting gashed up the middle. Yikes!

And this is the wrong mindset! Quit striving for the minimum as a WC entry and expect to win the division. The Jets loss still ticks me off. They look unprepared and got totally outplayed from the opening kickoff! Why not move the games to Friday nights then? But at the end of the day it still comes off as an excuse. Jets played on the same amount of rest and looked fine. Three days rest didn't cause the fumbles or lack of discipline regarding self inflicted penalties.

McDermott should get the blunt of the criticism. Team is horrible prepared. Getting it handed to them. No intensity and crappy game plan! Hopefully the Ducasse experiment is over. Now we get NO, SD, KC and NE. Play like this and realistically you could be looking a 5 game losing streak!

Embarrassing!

158 yards of total offense FIVE sacks allowed One turnover Yikes!!!

That pretty much sums up the first half!
