1 - Ball control offense is nice when it works, but Buffalo needs to find the “big play” again. It’s severely lacking. And if you’re going to play conservatively then don’t abandon the run in the 2nd half in such a close game. Stick with your game plan & identity. I don’t get Brady’s logic. 2 - Officiating was terrible as always. No flow to the game whatsoever. Every time the Bills would rip a nice play on 1st down there would be a holding or some other ticky tacky penalty. I feel like any game with a Hochuli is going to be a controversial loss. Actually, it seems like 90% of our close losses have heavy referee involvement and controversy. 3 - Kincaid. You covered this already, but I wanted to agree. 6 receptions for 108 yards. The Bills should’ve gotten him more involved in the Red Zone. Give Beane credit where it’s due, a first round pick that panned out. 4 - Drake Maye looks to be the future in New England. Great at protecting the ball, accurate, and athletic. Can’t really blame them after As much as I love dominating the AFCE every year, tough rivalry games are always the best. From a football perspective, it was a very entertaining game. Enjoyed the 5 years of easy wins. 5 - Defense. Had some nice stops to allow Buffalo to get back into it, but the lack of talent at CB is glaringly bad. The Hairston injury had a lot more of an effect that I thought it would. And it’s not good foresight by Beane when your defense hinges on a rookie coming back from injury. Tre White held it down as best he could, but I think there’s a league-wide notice to target him. 6 - Josh Allen. This was his worst game this season, but still tied it up at the end. If you leave him any time on the clock then your team is going to lose. I think the NFL is finally starting to learn that. 7 - Shaq Thompson. Too bad this guy is already 31. Guy was allover the field making sacks, TFL, pass breakups, etc. They should’ve kept him on Maye the entire game.

The officiating was horrendous. Let’s clear the air with that one. I know the Bills got 2 roughing calls in their favor, but that was so blatant that they have to call those. Even on the last return they made sure to call a hold in case Allen hits a magical 30 yarder out of bounds to get in FG range. They could not get into any flow. Even on the Josh pick in the red zone they had to make up for a 10 yard penalty. Just absolute drive killers left & right. Flame away.

Refs had to put their stamp on it just in case some Josh Allen magic

Kicker looked locked in before he even lined up.

Frustrating, but it’s down to the wire. Got the adrenaline flowing nicely

Alright McDermott. Need your heavily invested defense to do its thing !

Shaq Thompson has been allover the field causing havoc.

Oh come on. What has a Vrabel done that McDermott hasn’t ?

The fact Diggs is so animated on the sideline acting like a leader pisses me off. He’s such a ME player. It’s all an act. This game is about him beating Allen. Don’t get it twisted

No the Bills can’t beat the refs. Everytime they get into a flow, out comes a flag. Every time. Where was the OPI ?

Allen has to keep overcompensating for these phantom penalties. BTW… where was the replay on that Shakir OPI ? This game is BS

A ray davis carry is a wasted touch

The NFL so badly wants a competitor to the Bills in the AFCE lol

They aren’t even hiding it

I remember when McDermott used to put players in the dog house for fumbling. He should do the same to Coleman. Let Shavers get some more snaps.

Nothing more annoying than Collinsworth’s droning voice when your team’s losing the game. Refs were VERY liberal with that leftover clock too.

I don’t want booty near my face mask

Overcoming these penalties is too much !!

TB with a sack and fumble recovery so far. The people who say we don’t have elite defensive players are dead wrong.

Bass is your best shot if you need to hit a 70 yarder, but Prater for those 55 and below every time.

That looked like something out of an old school 70s highlight reel

Josh made the wrong read that isn’t on Brady.

Prater dependable as always.

Everytime the Bills make a play I am looking for a flag

Good damage control by the defense. Bills also get the ball in the 2nd half. Could be a lot worse after 2 lost fumbles
