Denver looks like one of the worst teams in football

The two biggest issues are #1 and #3. Our pass protection was abysmal for most of the night against an inferior defense, and Levi as CB2 again stuck out like a sore thumb. I don't think Tre gave up a single completion last night but we need to upgrade the spot opposite him.

Yep I was screaming as I'm sure all Bills fans were when it happened, but McD pretty much confirmed this in his presser

I believe strongly that we should be looking at a trade to upgrade the interior OL or 2nd CB. This is a championship caliber team, and I for one am ready to push my chips to the middle of the table to fortify our few weaknesses and chase a Lombardi this year. Admittedly I have no idea who might be available lol

Agreed OP. The Oline stunk and it was pretty evident what Daboll thought when they spent most of the 2nd half in max protect. I'll forgive Spencer Brown as he is a rookie, but the rest of the line was pretty much horrible as well and has little excuse.

He played a good game, but that sack he took on 2nd and 10 with Sweeney wide open in the 3rd qtr was a huge momentum play for Tennessee. Getting 0 points when our defense couldn't stop a nose bleed really hurt. Still, he was definitely not the reason we lost. The defense has to be better.

I feel like this was a game where we needed to establish a good working lead and we were never able to achieve that. The Titans had us coming and going and literally every success they had in the passing game came from the linebackers being sucked up to try to stop Henry. The way to get around that is to get ahead and make Tennessee one dimensional. We failed miserably in that regard

Agreed, or at minimum snag the 2 seed to have at least 2 home games like last year. Right now unfortunately we are 4th out of the 4 division leaders. I know we have some decent success at times with the qb sneak, but does it not seem like we struggle overall with the play? We make the sneak look awfully difficult sometimes, especially with a 6 foot 5 240 pound qb. Why can't we execute like the Pats did with Brady all those years...

You could make the argument to just kick it through the end zone, but I understand what the Bills were doing. It worked for the most part save the last return.

I hate Shittsburgh. Redneck hicks

Time will tell and I appreciate your point of view. I think the facemask was not called because it wasn't an impediment and the pass was pretty much uncatchable. Meyers is a a good player, but you guys are still severely lacking in weaponry. Doesn't seem the Henry/Smith combo is quite as good as hyped either. Go Bills!

I understand the reasons for not flexing games year round, but this matchup should make the NFL rethink its policy

Have to take issue here. Dallas scored on the 3rd down before the Prescott fumble and amassed over 100 yards in penalties, so the Pats were definitely not hosed lol. Jones looks decent, but the main concern coming out was his upside. I believe that remains the case. Borne and Meyers are not quality wideouts even as secondary options - I think Jacobi is at best a strong WR3. I feel like the roles are reversed and Pats fans are in a position that was all too familiar to Bills supporters - convincing yourself that the personnel on your team is better than it really is.

He's a definite douche

I agree with you. These things tend not to encourage progress in cooperative deal-making but stifle it. Hope I am wrong but I fear the repercussions if a vocal minority is able to control the narrative and influence public perception.

I'd prefer the Chargers over Baltimore but honestly believe LAC is the bigger threat to home field given both teams schedules. Baltimore still has all 6 games to play in the division, plus matchups against GB and the Rams. LAC's schedule by comparison looks relatively easy, with a KC rematch arguably the toughest remaining game. So, go Ravens

Jeff Posey or Mark Anderson hands down. Real impact players!

Lamar played great, but I can't believe how soft the Colts were towards the end of the game. It was honestly pathetic despite them being shorthanded. What happened to the aggression that slowed him down for 2 1/2 quarters? Also lost in the outcome was Wentz of all people threw for 402 yards. Not much defense was being played on either side including the vaunted Baltimore unit.

It's pretty amazing how the game turned on David Culley's decision making. He seems out of his depth

Remember how excited everyone was after the comeback against Carolina? You couldn't find an E.J. jersey in town to save your life lol. We've come a long way

Geno is so bad I would rather have Kelly Stouffer, Dan McGwire, or Rick Mirer

Hopefully that's the case and one thing doesn't lead to another...

To be honest I don't disagree too much and I do get what you're saying. I'm just skeptical that these sorts of proceedings won't lead to public acrimony and have a negative effect on negotiations. At some point when you go this route, won't there be a demand for a referendum? If so I believe that would seriously jeopardize the future of the team. It certainly has for other cities in this situation. Anyhow, just hope they get it done sooner rather than later so us fans can point our focus squarely at what is happening on the field. And indeed, go Bills!

I understand how civics work lol. But there are much larger expenditures at pretty much every level of government where no one is demanding public hearings and transparency. Hell, most people have no idea where their money is going but for some reason when it comes to a football stadium everyone's ears perk up. It's really a selective concern, and when you factor in the impact on the average taxpayer over the life of a potential deal, the discussion doesn't seem quite so notable. Whatever happens, the average person will barely notice that anything has changed with their finances.

I certainly hope you're right. It seems to me that other places have done stuff like this and it hasn't always been helpful. I'm kinda wondering whether there will be some calls for a referendum. Bottom line is it would be a great relief if the community can finally bury this issue and secure the future of the team once and for all.
