For the love of god the Bills are beating the Bills. Miami is just watching and doing the easy things like kicking field goals.

If ever there was a game where we could run the ball and play defense this would be it. Instead we pass pass pass, they know it, play it, and we turn the ball over again and again.

Cut the mistakes, penalties, and turnovers. Tighten up the pass coverage.

Rousseau has become a QB menace.

Wish we were bigger fans of running the clock out. Not super worried about NE coming back but just wish we did the smart thing from a game management stand point.

Remember when Gabe Davis caught all the bombs.

Run the GD ball (and don't fumble).

Wish we could put together more games without stupid mistakes.

Pats getting phantom calls is still a thing?

Physically Elam is what we want. He gets better at zone and finds the ball in the air better he'll be alright.

Run the damn ball.

Elam is supposed to be a man coverage CB. It was zone he was supposed to struggle at. Tre has the best in the air ball skills of our cbs. The rest of them struggle.

Our run defense frequently looks good until it doesn't and our pass defense looks like trash and then they make a play. Both cause anxiety.

Stop them for once and then run the ball down their throats.

Who wouldn't trade Moss for two kick return TD's vs the Pats.

So many missed tackles.

Rousseau a great rush but again always open.

Someone is always open. Once upon a time we got coverage sacks.

I'll never understand why we don't run more. We get stuffed once and pass pass pass. Not a bad half but they need to clean it up and get open faster. Josh is holding the ball a lot and that leads to bad things.

I'm not sure Clowney is currently that much better than Espenesa and if what the ESPN article says is true and he picks and chooses when he feels like playing he's a coaching nightmare and a little to diva for my liking. Clowney might still be a little more talented than some of our rotation but I'm still not a fan of having him on our roster. He seems like a turd.

I think Motor and Cook are very complimentary. If Singletary left next year I'd love to see someone with some more thump and I'm not talking about another 5'10" 210 pound "power" back. I would like to see them draft a back that's over 225 with a little bit of wiggle so Josh isn't the only short yardage option.

You're right, my fault for looking at ESPN. Didn't remember seeing him show up so when ESPN listed him as out and didn't have the game listed in his game log I assumed he didn't play that game. Guess he just didn't do anything that game. Pro football reference has him listed at 21 snaps. That said Miami has a pretty good LT and that's where Epenesa usually lines up.

He didn't play against Miami. He's had a sack in the last 4 games he played. I'm not saying our other guys can't do it but AJ and Rousseau are the only two ends (outside of Von who's out) who I've seen just blow by a tackle and get the QB. Getting there in clean up and being physical in both the pass rush and run defense is nice but when an end can get around the corner to the QB with the OL barely getting a hand on them that's game changing.

For anyone who didn't see it or catch it when I said it before McDermott made it sound like they had talked about this prior to the play.

I agree. I was screaming at the TV, "what the hell are you doing", and then TD. That said i saw Motor go down and I was like, that makes sense. I get the logic. When you've been beaten multiiple times in the last seconds of games you would rather have the ball in your hands as the last second ticks off. It's essentially an extra point.
