Josh needs to be under center much more. The play action pass works a million times better under center than in shotgun. Plus we run the ball better under center when we throw it from under center. Because when we're in shotgun 90% of the time, the D knows it's going to be a run when under center. Whereas when we throw it enough from under center, the run can surprise them.

You keep on knocking but you can't come in!

Here's what I don't get. You know the wind is blowing left to right into your face in the 4th quarter. You throw back should to Diggs on the right sideline that you know is going to take the ball out of bounds instead of throwing into the teeth of the wind on the left side line. He gets wide open, but the ball flies out of bounds. Then you get down to the New England 6 and leave the ball on the right hash for a fg kick. Get the ball to the left hash *****. Two fg's from the left hash in the 4th win the game.

They stopped the Pats 3 & out in the first 2 drives with Jerry, Star, Ed & Groot... I guess they were thinking 6 plays over 30 mins was too much for Star and Jerry.

You are wrong about a loss to the Bucs knocking us out of the playoffs. The other AFC playoff teams have to play each other a bajillion times in the next 5 weeks. I'm more concerned about the team's effort this week. I of course want them to win. But effort and intensity across the board is the #1 key to the game from my perspective.

That certainly contributed to the L. Sloppy penalties, drops, stupid fumble. But not one mistake or all of them combined lost the game like the McKenzie fumble against the Colts. We had 2 shots in a row to drive for the game winning TD in the 4th. Imo, the most dominant force on the field was NE's red zone defense. They won the game for the Pats in my view.

Yeah, there's a difference between quick hitting short passes and taking the check down. Brady isn't the master of the check down, he's the master of seeing exactly what the defense is giving him and taking it immediately. It goes against Josh's gun slinger mentality. But he has to develop that tool as an extension of the run. And I'm not talking about calling Gold Rip when everyone and their mothers know a wr screen is coming.

The real reason the Bills lost was due to the Patriots Red Zone defense. Not their run game. Not the Bills defense... The Patriots D stopping the Bills from getting TD's on 3 of 4 red zone trips was the difference.

Singletary may have taken some of those Red Zone runs to the house where Moss refused to turn it outside.

It's almost like he was trying not to score.

That's set to private. Can't view it.

Josh has to get better with his decision making. The players protecting Josh need to be upgraded. The play calling and game planning need to be improved. The in game adjustments need to be improved. The running backs need to be upgraded. They need a more physical TE and WR to make sure catches in crunch time.

We ran too much, and ran too many plays out of shotgun. Josh needed to be under center more and use play action & designed roll outs.

It's not like Sullivan asked a hard hitting question about football. Imagine if Hyde's response was "aren't you embarrassed that you write for the Niagara Gazette?"

Poyer and Hyde's response is completely understandable because they work their asses off and believe in themselves and their team. They maintain a winning attitude even in the face of a tough loss. The Sullivan's of the world demand a loser attitude in the face of defeat.

They made them go 3 and out on the first two series and they still refused to pass... There's one sure fire way to make a team pass. And that's to get out to a lead.

Would the same be true if the Offense converted 3 of it's red zone trips and Diggs caught the bomb and we had won 31-14? The defense gave up one busted play, and made them punt 6 times. Twice late in the 4th quarter to give the O two shots at winning the game. This game is not on the defense by any stretch of the imagination.

Could have been Wyatt Teller and Creed Humphrey... But still, we can improve significantly with two more stout interior o lineman.

I'm not sure Josh had to bail when he did.

Have you looked at the schedules of all the other AFC playoff teams and seen how many times they all play each other?

And Diggs was wide open on the previous play for a 1st down.

Why would Josh not throw to Beasley on the 4th down play when he was being covered by a backed Safety?

This crew calls the least amount of pass interference in the league.

Horrific play calling yet again in the red zone.

I have no idea why Josh hasn't been under center using play action roll outs.
