The defense absolutely let the Jets go up and down the field. The Jets 32:44 of TOP from the game would be #1 in the league if they averaged that per game. TOP is a team stat and can be negatively effected by a teams offense going 3 and out. The Bills offense had 4 drives of 4+ minutes and 2 short drives (the 2 ints). They did not have a 3 and out that resulted in a punt. I think it's fair to place the majority of the blame for TOP on the defense and their inability to stop the run, or a Jets drive in general. This was easily the worst game of the year by the Bills DEF (especially if we're considering the opponent). All things considered it wasn't a terrible performance by the DEF - just a bad one. The offense was also bad

In a tie game the Bills offense punting with 8 minutes left from mid-field is "blowing it", but the defense giving up an 84 yard 6 minute FG drive (including all 3 Bills timeouts and 2 minute warning) is "getting a stop and giving the offense another chance" ? Bills played pretty poorly on both sides of the ball. I don't know why people are bending over backwards to forgive the defense.

I think the question is if this particular guy would have had access to that info while on the Bills. Mayden spent less than a month on our practice squad. Would he really know more about the Bills playcalling/signals than the opposition could learn from watching film ?

It's pretty easy to focus on Allen's ints and ignore that our defense was just as bad as the offense in the Jets game. The Jets had 3 different drives of 13+ plays. The DEF mitigated the damage in terms of points allowed, but our offense only had 9 possessions (2 of those starting with <2 minutes left in either half). For comparison: the Chiefs DEF allowed 17 points, but the Chiefs offense had 12 possessions in regulation.

There was enough mutual contact that I'm ok with a no-call. Ironically, Josh would've been better off underthrowing it by 1-2 yards. If Davis had to fight through the defender (who never turned his head) the refs would've been forced to call PI

Reich was 3-5-1 and had them playing well enough to (probably) finish with a pick in the 6-10 range. It's hard to see the Colts winning another game this year with Saturday as HC.

Yes, looks like it was this play. 1st & 10 at NYJ 12 (6:24 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Allen to NYJ 19 for -7 yards (S.Rankins). FUMBLES (S.Rankins), and recovers at NYJ 18. J.Allen sacked at NYJ 14 for -2 yards (sack split by J.Sherwood and K.Alexander). I missed it yesterday, but Josh shakes his head pretty hard after the tackle. It's possible he was looking over to the sideline (or another player) and shaking his head "no" in response to something. It's also possible he has a lingering concussion and got his bell rung.

I think the Chiefs are doing just fine. Patrick Mahomes worst season was 12 wins and losing the AFCCG in OT. Tom Brady really hurt his career by doing commercials. 7 SB rings is cool and all, but he could've had double digits if he wasn't distracted by commercials! A A Ron and the Packers suck this year. He did win back to back MVPs the last 2 years while starring in commercials, so I don't think that's the reason for the sudden decline. It might have more to do with Adams leaving and not drafting any quality WR.

Do you know what quarter or drive this happened in?

The hold was fine. Bass had a ridiculously low kick that was almost guaranteed to be tipped/blocked

I thought simultaneous catch was a judgement call and therefore not reviewable. I'm not entirely sure if that was the ruling on the field or not

Bass is 12 / 15 for the year on FGs with misses of 38 (Dolphins), 49 (Steelers), and 55 (Jets). It's not a stretch to say that Bass cost us both the Dolphins and the Jets games. Although it's probably not fair to blame him when the misses happened early in the games and so many other players made costly mistakes. The kick offs out of bounds are a concern as well, but I blame that on coaching. Can we please stop ***** around with these high, short kicks and just have Bass boot it for a touchback? I don't think we're at the point where we need to consider dropping Bass this season, but I do think Beane will have some pondering to do this offseason.

Nice analysis! I didn't consider that Jaquan should've been blitzing.

That's why I'm asking. It looked like Johnson peeled off with their TE and Von Miller was covering the QB option. I don't know the X's and O's, but Edmunds looked like he was in no-mans land accomplishing nothing.

What was Edmunds doing on the Jets first TD ? Besides jogging halfheartedly towards the RB after he scored....

Some pretty concerning trends the last 2 games. 1.5 games of JA looking wildly inaccurate. He's missed more throws in the last 6 quarters than the rest of the season combined. Run defense was shredded in both games. Injuries

I wouldn't say we have a definitive "window" but we definitely have an advantage this year while Josh is still only at a 16mm cap hit. Going forward will depend on how Josh ages and how Beane drafts/builds the team. Josh won't be able to sustain this playstyle long term. I do think he'll be able to adapt and be a top 3 QB using just his arm, but it would be an adjustment to not use his legs as much. Beane has proven to be a very capable GM so i'm not worried on that aspect.

Allen was an exceptionally polarizing prospect. Some had him rated as the #1 overall best prospect. Others didn't rate him as even a 1st rounder. I don't think it's a surprise to see the Broncos pass on him to take a "sure-fire" defensive guy (who I'll note has been a very good player in the NFL). My comparison would be the 2017 Bills passing on Mahomes and Watson. The Bills hit on Allen the next year and the rest, as they say, is history. The Broncos haven't hit on the QB position since then, but if Wilson wasn't such a shocking failure I think this would be a very different conversation.

He's technically suspended indefinitely. He's allowed to request re-instatement after this season is over. If I were to bet on it (hahaha) he'd be ready to go week 1 next season.

That play and the one where he had the RB wrapped up for minimal gain only to get dragged 5+ yards downfield really stood out to me.

They tried passing on the early 4th down. Our run defense had 1 good play (the late 4th down stop)

I know statistics prove out that drug abuse is consistent across economic classes (although the type of drugs being abused vary). Don't know if alcohol would be any different. I think it's funny that people think bad behavior will get priced out of Bills games. On the secondary market ticket prices didn't drop below $200 for the Packers game. You could get a ticket for $20 during the drought years and see behavior that wasn't as bad as last night

Our run DEF was getting chewed up the entire game, it's not like the Packers went from ineffective running while the game was close to racking up yards in garbage time. Yea, ultimately the defense only allowed 17 points, but if those GB 4th and shorts had gone differently I think we'd be having a very different conversation. Jordan Phillips tackling technique was so fricking weird. He had multiple plays where he didn't try to tackle the ball carrier with his arms- he just threw his shoulder and body weight into the guy. I can't imagine a coach would ever teach that technique.... was he trying to injure the GB runners? Was Phillips other shoulder injured in some way ? I noticed he had one of his shoulders taped up

I did notice Davis on a bad drop and an exceptionally stupid penalty that cost us points.. Diggs had a solid game - although my guy really has to start actually using his mouth guard LOL

That's a good catch! I thought he was a generic nurse/doctor, but Turk makes a lot of sense. Gabe Davis (if that's him) in the ski mask could be a gimp. Maybe even the gimp from Pulp Fiction? Quessenberry in the khakis/wig could be Steve Irwin (combo costume with the alligator?)
