Here's the play:
No one got open and the IOL immediately collapsed.
I think Brady needs to find some answers other than mesh. Defenses have this play figured out because we've put it on tape so frequently. Hard to be too upset with anyone on the offensive side though.
Should have gone for it on 4th and 2 although on some level I understand why we didn't.
These are also the places where we do miss Kincaid.

that ends the 1 seed imo and makes the lions game irrelevant.
all that matters for the bills is winning the final 3 to get to 10 wins in the conference
Agree. Go 13 - 4 and we lock up the #2 seed. Sure beating Detroit is great for bragging rights on the national stage but beating the Jets and NE twice is mich more important.

Are the bills 10-3 or 3-10? I cant tell based off of the comments here
Correct in the long run this should not exert a big negative impact on the season. Even with a loss at Detroit the Bills are still in a great position to go 13 - 4 and lock up the 2nd seed.
But in the short run it is concerning to see some of the same old problems manifest themselves in another ugly loss.

Yes, Tom Brady was absolutely correct commentating during the game that there is no option but to throw 3 times there, all to the endzone. Burning a timeout resigns you to a 3% chance onside kick attempt. I get the thought process of your best play, and there is no higher conversion play in our playbook than an Allen sneak to get the 1 yard. But, as high of a conversion it is, the times you don't get it and have to burn a timeout completely change the complexity of the game and take all other options off the table.
Even if you don't think the Bills can stop them from getting a first down, you could always STILL kick the onside and try and get it, but if you fail, still have your 3 timouts to try and get the ball back. Burning a timeout makes the onside attempt the deciding factor in the game with no recourse.
And on any of those three passes from the one Allen could run it if he sees an opening.

I remain agnostic towards McD. You can't deny the winning culture he has built in Buffalo:
* 6 straight 10 win seasons
* 5 straight 11 win seasons (I'm assuming we win at least 1 more game)
* 5 straight division titles
* 4 straight seasons winning at least 1 playoff game and likely soon to be 5.
These are not small things particularly with respect to the 18 lost years before McD showed up. BUT.............................
To many times McD has messed up the end of a game at a critical moment; and his expertise is the defense and it's been repeated defensive collapses which have prevented the Bills from advancing to the Super Bowl.
So I remain in a wait & see mind set. McD has done a great job this year and if this loss was a one off I can live with it.

Josh put up 6 SIX TDs!!!!!!!!
And if they got Baby Jesus at QB they would B word that he didn't walk on the water fast enough.

He enhanced his chances with that performance. And he would trade it all away for just one more defensive stop.

Stafford and Nacua executed to perfection.
That's the standard when playing against a team that can keep up.
Allen was as close to perfect for a QB as you can be. Didn't he have a record setting EPA & Fantasy score? Allen had a 117 QB rating and an amazing 90 QBR.

Agreed on a macro level, but on a micro level, Josh Allen was jumpy and rushing his mechanics at times during the first half. He missed some HUGE plays throughout. Gotta have those.
Doesn't help that our running game was total dog crap.
I just can't believe you are saying this after what we just watched. The expectation of perfection from Allen is flat out crazy. It's insane and is not seen at any level of football by any other QB. As good as Stafford played today, and he was magnificent, he also missed some passes and left some plays out there.

McVay's offense absolutely torched our D all day. And the Bills offense stumbled enough in the first half (which has been a problem) to cost them in the end.
Sorry but I can't utter a single bad word about the Bills Offense today. They scored TD's on 2 of their 4 first half possessions which is solid. In the 2nd half they scored TD's on 4 out of 5 possessions. The Bills D was terrible and the special teams not much better and that's were the discussion ends IMO.

Ya fair.
I can live with the bills defence giving up points and plays.
I Just hate how they play schematically.
38-22 time of possession for the rams today- That's what happens a lot when you play bend but don't break, keeps the mvp on the sidelines as well
And the Bills scored TD's on 6 out of 9 possessions with only one three and out. The defense was beyond bad today.

Detroit whose offense has been rolling all season has to be drooling after watching the Bills game today.
And the Detroit defense has to be very concerned about what they're about to face in the Bills offense - it works both ways.

The answer is absolutely it will show up as it has in every year the Bills have been in the playoffs in the Allen era. By my count there has only been ONE elite defensive playoff performance by the Bills since 2019 and that was against Baltimore.
-
I will say this having clinched the division I'm not taking this loss all that hard. It's a non conference game and our chances to lock up the 2nd seed are still very good even if we lose to Detroit nest week. The offense showed that they can be lethal and we'll be getting 2 more key pieces back soon.
I also trust that McD will fix the issues with the D and they will play better going forward. For now I'm viewing this defensive performance as a one off resembling the inexplicable offensive melt down we had against Jacksonville a few years ago.

If the 6-6 Rams did this to the D, wtf are the Lions going to do?
When those 2 WR's are healthy and Stafford is on his game the Rams O is as good as the lions.

While not officially classified as a giveaway a blocked punt for a TD is worse then a couple of TO's.

On the positive side:
* Allen
* Shakir
* Cooper
* Hollins
Who would have thought with both Diggs & Davis gone the Bills could execute an old fashioned shoot out at such a highly productive level.

To me thats great coaching on the Rams sideline and/or Stafford checking on that play. They caught the Bills in what they were trying to do and exploited it. If you want to say that was the wrong move than I get it but we don't know what happens if we drop into zone there either.
Football 101 is you try to take away the opponents best weapon. On that play the Bills almost ignored the best WR on the field today.

Yea, its typical of fans to blame coaches when things go badly. Sometimes players just get whipped sometimes and they sure got whipped today. When I was a young HS coach, a veteran coach once told me the whole town used to think we were geniuses when we were winning titles year in and year out and now they think we're a bunch of dumbasses because we have a losing program. We have literally taught the same stuff year in and year out the only thing that changes are the players. Not entirely the same here but the truth is fans are always looking for someone to blame and the coaches are an easy target.
On the Rams last TD we had an all out blitz and they threw the ball outside to their best WR who had two blockers versus our two safeties/CB's. That's on coaching.

I think 90% of this thread would not have noticed the time mgmt if Brady had not pointed it out
We all noticed at my house. When they lined up for the tush push we ALL said "don't use a TO if you don't make it. Line up and run it again". We also were all screaming at the TV for them to line up in the shot gun and not do the tush push.
Again we make excuses for another coaching melt down at a critical point in a game.

Have you seen the Steeler's remaining schedule? KC, Baltimore and the Eagles. They are losing at least one of those.

The Bills and McD are looking at the long term of the season and not individual, non conference games. It's frustrating but in the end it's the right thing to do.

I've come to the conclusion that it is almost entirely due to Allen. The QB is so critical to NFL success and he is the best playing. He elevates those around him as even a casual glance at the numbers put up by Brown, Beasley, Foster, Sanders, Diggs, Davis, Hollins, Shakir, and others reveal.
I don't know whether McD is wasting Allen's best years or is creating a foundation that will see multiple Super Bowl wins in the next 5 - 7 years. I go back and forth on this topic. IMO this is a big year one way or the other as the Bills appear to be set to greatly exceed preseason expectations (13 - 4; division title). But if the playoff exit happens in the Divional round following a similar pattern as past years then next season should be the make or break one for McD. Either an AFC Championship appearance or McD is gone and a new coach put in his place.
