This should be either 42-0 bills or we should be losing like 21-14. Both teams blowing a ton of chances.

That was easy td

Wow. Allen looks awful.

Nothing looks right on O

Why did we change punters?

Should be a 35-0 type game. Our O has not looked good in a long time…

Wait. Just researched that no team that won the first game of the season in a 17 week season has gone on to the Super Bowl. We still have a chance...

Dang so Bills, Falcons, Lions, Titans, Colts, WFT, Pats, and Giants all out of the race.

The whole change in culture thing is a bit fluff to me. I know that it is important, but I mean that when people outside of the organization talk about it. The only ones that really know are the people inside the building. And of course we are always going to hear how it is great and all the change. You only hear the negative side when the person leaves and then the tune changes from change in culture to toxic environment. From a fan side of things I do think there is a change. Just about every fan would say they expect the Bills to be in the playoffs. Not too long ago you people were dreaming of just making it. That is a change. I think the nervousness that fans have is set in the reality that this team does not look invincible and does have some issues. As others have said, our losses can look very similar. They highlight weaknesses this team still has which can be concerning. Even the biggest cheerleader fans would admit some of this. We have not established ourselves as that team yet that is beating teams while sleepwalking. Not to mention, Josh has really only had one good year, so there is that fear that what if he regresses. Again most dont think that, but it is still a legit concern because this team wins with him not the supporting cast. Give it some time. One great year and some decent ones puts us in the group of 10 or so good teams. Cant expect us to instantly feel like the top dog in the league yet.

I dont agree with article. But he is pointing out it is not just a one game thing. It goes back to to the BAL and KC playoff games as well.

I agree and felt like we were watching a pre-season Bills offense. The penalties and lack of rhythm.

This may be true until 14-3 would have gotten us home field and instead we are 13-4 and heading into KC in the playoffs.

On a related note. We went in the offseason with many pundits saying our biggest needs were RB and TE, along with pass rush. We ignored TE and RB essentially as I dont count Hollister and Breida as addressing it. But the Bills basically said we know better and are willing to let it ride with these guys.

At least force teams to put more focus on them then currently.

The earlier play was for one executed much better from the run fake to OL sell out. Not to mention look at the numbers - original play had one guy on the outside vs multiple defenders yesterday partially due to a wr going in motion bringing the QB over. It was plain ugly.

Should have caught it. Should have thrown a second sooner. Either way play should have been made.

Bottom line - team was not ready. Not like Pitt was either, but they stuck around, made less mistakes and took advantage when needed to pull out the win. I still think we would beat that Pitt team 8 out of 10 times. Hopefully just a bump in the round and not an indication of the season ahead. But if I am a DC playing the Bills I am watching this game and the KC playoff game.

I agree to much of this. When you win its easy to just say we won, who cares. But there are so many times Daboll has done things that I just dont get. You can ask is Allen better because of Daboll? Is Daboll lucky Allen is so good that it makes him look good? Combo of both? Personally I am still not sold on Daboll and give more of the success to Allen. I think a ton of OC's could score points with Allen and the Bills offense.

But they worked so well at recess...

Maybe they should have played the starting O a bit more in preseason?

The mindset of this team is to have the ball in Josh hands as much as possible. That said I do think in our losses Daboll appears to be unable to balance out the game. This was a good example of a time maybe you run the ball a bit to take the pressure of Allen who seemed of his game. Maybe that allows him to settle down a bit. I also want less of those designed Allen runs that put him spots to get destroyed. Some of them are juts so painfully obvious you know he is going to take a lick. And I hate hate hate the one option only plays. Allows at least have an outlet. That flea flicker could have still worked if there was another option, but is was all or anything.

Maybe a TE would help…

Combo of Allen not at his best and Daboll in his try to be cute mindset. We could have just beat them with fundamental football early, but was out of sorts.

Trade Zack for Zach. Had to do it.
