think I'm good with not seeing Trent Murphy in a Bills uni anymore Hughes not sure either way Been a while since he had solid sack numbers

I sincerely hope we can face them again this year . Brady should give them enough bulletin material with his smug mouth.

get new ones?

that guy is in the shop more than Sammy Big help if he's out although they still will have guys that can get deep

You see what I see. I see a lot of third and longs all game long I see a lot of very tight throws What I dont see is any continuity or game planning specific to the team we face I dont see special scheme making guys look good

I would use more rpo stuff for sure Anything besides the bland delay run up the gut for 1 yard over and over I'd like to see Allen run that stretch handoff and pull it back and throw out of that I remember Manning used to throw downfield off that play

game was lost at the line of scrimmage Pats consistently ran for 4-6 yards a carry setting up manageable downs for Brady Bills could not run the football leaving Allen in third and long way too much

He does but you cant teach that 4th down sneak or being able to backfoot a 50 yard td pass while getting drilled or routinely drilling completions on stick routes into tiny windows. Everybody said he wouldnt make it because he was a turnover machine and he fixed it. He'll fix the deep ball Its getting better. He may never be a west coast offense 70% passer but if the Bills can find some playmakers he could run a explosive vertical offense off rpos We just dont have the horses yet and the O line needs more help

We lost yesterday on the LOS Pats got over 6 yards per play on offense Felt like every hand off was at least a 4 or 5 yard gain. Every short check down was a missed tackle and more yards. Brady faced almost no pressure Bills D line cannot get to the qb without stunts and extra bodies Been like this all year Conversely the Bills O line got handled Pats able to pressure Josh off his spot routinely with just 4 guys Marshall Newhouse came in and outplayed what we got from Cody Ford. Once again no push in the run game, the few yards Devin got were well earned Allen had to do his circus act to make a few plays to even make this close.

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
