I disagree , the coaching staff has shown no signs of changing the philosophy of playing not to lose. We routinely sit on small leads and we take no chances on defense The skill guys on offense are not exceptional and the O line is not stout enough to win playing this bland scheme. Maybe against softer opponents. This defense has zero scores this year ZERO!!!!!! That tells me we dont get after the qb. Bills have a whopping 6 tds that didnt come from Josh Allen Seriously what coach says he's looking for 21 pts!!

be fair and objective Allen isnt operating the 2000 Rams offense Bills still have below average playmakers and O line He had a ton of pressure in his face thanks to facing endless third and longs Not many qbs are going to look good with Cody Ford blocking on the edge with no help and zero running game. When he has time he's pretty spot on with exception of the deep shots.

he plays not to lose both on offense and defense It is frustrating to watch The 3 and out after we took a 17-13 lead was the turning point Bills had some momentum going and we go 1950's football for three downs and give the Pats the ball right back.

that 3 and out was entirely on Daboll/McDermott They come out and run two consecutive handoffs into a 8 man box when it was obvious the O line was getting manhandled Bend but dont break is the worst defense to play against a offense built on executing he small ball like the Patriots are Coaching staff again got worked by the Pats

He's gotten better They improved the cast around him but its nowhere near championship caliber. Not sure its going to happen under Daboll

In that context where is the nearest bridge?

only rushed four and to be honest we cant generate pressure without bring extra bodies or running stunts Only true edge rusher we have is Hughes and not sure what he has left Interior guys get pressure from stunts or missed assignments Plus they dont have Cody Ford playing tackle (hard to believe Marshall newhouse was in and played better

I'm starting to doubt we will ever see it under McDermott. This keep it close obsession he has is going to limit this team

Well they need to go take a long hard look because they sure didnt prepare like it was a big deal. The defense made Tommy look like he was 25 again today. Daboll threw a drive away after Allen put them up with predictable play calls. If that is our best look scheme/preparation wise were miles away

so were sandbagging for the playoffs?

that was the point I was trying to make Its like they unleash Allen as a last resort Otherwise were playing for third down over and over instead of going for the jugular

Honestly this was probably the defenses worst game No pressure, poor tackling, playing soft coverage on third downs. Especially considering what the Pats have on offense and tennis elbow Tommy. Patriots without a doubt were way more physical on both sides. Bills OL was terrible.

Nobody else enjoys watching him reach out off balance to punch the rusher than stumble over his own feet to the turf?

a win today would have been huge Love to get the monkey off their back. Frustrating game to be sure

I blame this one Daboll and the O line Feel like every drive started with a run and 2nd and long followed by another run and 3rd and long. End of the game Patriots only rush 4 and our Keystone Cop O line cant block anyone Unimpressed with the D Cant allow 17 play drives or 6 yards per play

Story of the game is Allen hits Brown on a bomb td. The D finally gets a stop . We have a 17-13 lead and instead of trying to expand it our offense goes out and Daboll runs Singeltary on back to back runs into a heavy run D front Its been the same story all year Team does not know how to go for the jugular Too worried to make a mistake to make a big p;ay

Daboll puts him into a bind too much with conservative throw away plays We were in 2nd and 9 or 2nd and 10 way too many times OL could not create holes at all. Given the D couldnt get off the field and O line gave us zero run game we still had a chance to tie and it was all Allen That run, run, run drive after we were up 17-13 didnt help I though we would be "fearless' with nothing on the line today. McConservative though otherwise

yep but Mcstubborn feels different

the Singeltary run into a 8 man box was working too good

Defense was "fearless" OL was "fearless " too

Daboll is terrible Repeatedly ran right into a stacked front on first down every time On obvious passing downs no extra help for his turnstile tackles. Every third down conversion has to be some perfectly executed pattern and pass Cant run a screen. No answer to the Pats pass rush and they rushed 4 for the most part. OL blows too Every yard Singeltary got he earned tonight

he's good for standing around the pile after the tackle

Patriots simply more physical on both sides of the football We have paper tigers on this team Now it falls on Allen

it has Also we have rushed 4 all game and dropped 7 on D Not much creativity from the coaching

Pats rush 4 Allen crushed immediately Bills rush 4 Brady standing there all day We get to watch our prevent D again
