  1. The game reminded me of Bills games of yore, before they were good, when on 10-15 crucial plays one guy, a different guy, would make a mistake and muck it up. 
     

    This happened a lot. The Bills are a good, solid team though. I don’t expect it to continue. 
     

    This was a bad start against a good team we should beat at home. We had a lot of chances we squandered. But I doubt it changes the season much.

    Oh man. I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. There is a huge hole in the zone early on. That's where you hit him. There's a reason he waved his hand. You adjust to what the zone presents to you, and Allen, who is a great player, did not in this instance. Instead, he waited to make the longer throw, into a defended zone. But go ahead, blame the receiver rather than analyzing the decision making.  

    That may be true but that is not the play that happened. The play that actually happened was an easily caught ball. Right in his hands. Split second to secure it before hit.

    Sanders didn't "drop" that. Allen was late on his throw and set him up to get stripped. Sanders raised his hand 10 yards into the route, signaling he was open, and Allen waited too long before delivering, hitting him just as he entered a window with two defenders. The moment it hit has hands, the defender was right there in perfect position to strip it. That ball had to be delivered sooner. You know what they say about "throwing your receivers open"? That was a case of "throwing your receivers into covered." 

    He needs to catch that. It’s why he was brought here. The ball was a little late but IMO he catches the ball and it’s not stripped.

    I disagree.  Allen was good but not great today.  He accounted for 314 of Buffalo's 371 yards.  The o-line was terrible and that had a big impact on Allen and the passing game.  How many holds - 5 or 6?

     

    As for big plays that we didn't make I'll throw out these two:

     

    1) After the Bills fell behind 13 - 10 Allen threw a great pass that Sanders dropped.  That was a 35 yard gain we missed out on.

     

    2) On 3rd & 3 on the drive we had that bizarre 4th down ply the Bills handed the ball to Brida and the blocking was pretty good.  He only gained 2 yards though. Most NFL RB's would have gained a 1st down on the run. We missed Moss on that play.

     

     

     

     

    One could argue that the Sanders drop was the biggest play, or one of the biggest, considering it’s probably at least 3 points AND there is no blocked punt for the TD the other way. 
     

    Granted, Josh missing Sanders was a huge one as well.

    Lucky in the sense that refs usually don't throw those flags at the end of games. 

    Normally I agree with your takes, and normally I agree with this one about the refs. But in this one, I don’t think he has a decent chance to make the catch without the small shove. And if that’s the case, that the shove allowed the catch that otherwise wouldn’t have been made, you have to make the call IMO.

  6. Brady and his team get every necessary call. But it’s not much different than the NBA and Jordan (and later Shaq) getting every call.
     

    Sports changed IMO with Jordan. Superstars used to get the benefit of the doubt on calls, in pretty much every sport. When Jordan became a superstar, halfway into his career, he no longer got the benefit of the doubt, he pretty much got every call. 
     

    That’s what happened with Brady.

    I'm actually surprised Antonio Brown is actually still this good.

     

    He had his moments when he came back last year, but usually when people go nuts & sabotage their career/public image, they don't return to form.

     

    Wouldn't want him on the Bills, but still impressed.

    Brady is great. I don’t want to disparage him. But his weapons are insane. Three top tier wideouts. Three! Two very good tight ends. Great line and coaching. Good backs. Great defense. He has a ridiculous amount of help.
