Total lack of talent at the Texans WR position???

They were absolutely atrocious in pass protection today

There was a striking parallel between those two plays, I will admit

Like it would have mattered. Fairbairn can hit from 60 plus. Our only prayer was getting a first down and forcing OT. Had they run 3 straight times, people would be saying McD was gutless when the Texans still drilled the game winning field goal.

Thank you. Punting, under any circumstances there, equaled a loss. Running the ball 3 times would have been completely pointless

And Houston still would've won. They just would have called the plays differently. No matter what, if the Bills didn't get a first down at the end they were going to lose

Complain all you want about the end of game, but had the Bills gone run run run punt the result would've been the same. With Houston having all 3 timeouts and us pinned at the 4, we HAD to get a first down just to ensure overtime. There are PLENTY of things to complain about here, but the end of game is not one of them.

The Bills defense would be well advised to stop blitzing Stroud. He has been killing it all game

Maybe

This is what I'm trying to figure out. Why the hell is he chucking it deep every single play?

Darnold is who we thought he is

I agree Darnold has been pretty terrible, but he was solid in the first quarter. He started to look bad once Aaron Jones went out because they haven't been able to run the ball since. Chandler looks like he's stuck in mud when he takes a handoff

There's an ocean between Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler at running back. The Vikes offense has gone downhill ever since the injury

I agree. It doesn't seem like he's processing all that fast. But the combination of O'Connell (who has to be one of the most underrated coaches in the NFL), good weapons, and a solid line allow him to be successful

Everything but his arm. His arm is still legit

Bernard will be out there and Miller is a role player at this point, so we'll likely be down 4 defensive starters along with Von and Austin Johnson. The loss of Shakir will be huge as well. I'm willing to bet McD is being very conservative with some of these guys as we absolutely need to be closer to full strength for the key division game next week. It could very well get ugly again on defense. As someone else mentioned, I'm hoping for a Keon Coleman breakout game.

I am definitely in the minority on Harlan. He's a good announcer but his voice is the male equivalent of Beth Mowins. Nails on a chalkboard

They're good, but it's about time Eagle is not calling a Jets game. He's such a homer

Seriously???

I don't disagree that the allegations against Miller are appalling (obviously), but why are some acting disgusted now that a suspension has been handed down? This stuff has been known for a while but the discussion around Von has mainly been about the football productivity side.

I want no part of Adams but would potentially be open to the idea of Cooper or Hopkins if the price is right

Nick Folk is such an underrated kicker. Ultra reliable year after year after year

Yes please

It's one of the "I can't believe it" plays that Allen makes routinely. Similar to the throw to Latavius Murray against KC last year. Just incredible playmaking skill

I agree with this. In the heat of the moment there is a tendency to overstate the negative and succumb to recency bias. Even with some time to digest, the decision was remarkably bad and has to go down in the annals of worst play calls I've seen in my Bills fandom. And that's with Allen somehow not getting hurt. If that happened...
