Tyrod wasn’t an issue in the game for me and wasn’t why we lost. Rather than make this a TT discussion, like they always turn into, I left him out. He he had two TD’s dropped or overturned. He had terrible play calls or covered receivers. He missed some throws, but so did Brady. He had a good stat line and there were way worse concerns on the field. You csn can pin it on Tyrod if you want, but you’d be wrong Sadly, I wanted the same thing

I’m too angry to give a nice little intro. I’m tired of morale victories and these bull **** games against the Pats, for so many reasons. 1 - Tolbert - Just stop. Run plays that get blown up behind the line of scrimmage. 2nd and goal from the 17 and a pass to him?! Why??? He has no chance and we keep trying. Then on 2nd and 25 they run him?! I just can’t understand his utilization. 2 - Refs - What happened to conclusive evidence to overturn a call? Also, if a play breaks the plane on a non- touchdown but also pulls it back, then it’s the end result spot. These refs have given so many games to the Pats in recent weeks. I’m sick of it. You can’t beat the refs and the Pats in Foxboro. We got absolutely !@#$ed 3 - Red Zone - You can’t go 3/4 in the red zone with all field goals and expect to win. Clay drops, terrible play calls (more on that), and the Refs just defined this game. 4 - And I could be good, and I would - If I knew I was understood And it'll be great, just wait - Or is it too little too late? 5 - Gaines - We are now 1-4 when he is out. Johnson and others get abused out there and it kills us. We need more depth at DB and his absence proves it every week. 6 - Linebackers - Milano and Brown were fantastic today. They tracked down multiple plays in the backfield and broke through the line of scrimmage to get to them. Just great job by these guys today. 7 - Defensive Line - Another week of zero pressure and getting blown off the line on rushing plays. The Cold front is dead and gone. 8 - Zay Jones - Where the hell is this guy for multiple games in a row? I hate to talk about non-factors in a game like this, but c’mon! He can’t even get a catch?! 9 - Dennison - You know you’re going to go for on 4th and 2 and you call two straight pass plays?! For one creative play, he has two head scratchers that kill drives or set us back. Blame Tyrod all you want, but this guy is terrible and needs to go. 10 - McDermott - Two games against the Pats and not a legitimate offensive touchdown? 8-7 is 8-7. Yes there are improvements on the team, but there are also steps back and the end result stays the same. He had these guys ready, but still allows the same tragedy to occur on the field. !@#$ Gronk. !@#$ the Refs. !@#$ Brady. !@#$ the Pats. Go Bills and Merry !@#$ing Christmas

I get that Brady is possibly one of the greatest of all time. I know our record over the past 20 years against them. I know the genius of the Hoodie and how unstoppable Gronk is. I don't !@#$ing care. They are men. They were beaten badly by the dolphins. They don't have anywhere near on the line what we have. Tyrod is playing for a contract. This regime has shown that anyone is expendable. The playoffs are within our control for the first time in a long time. I want to see some fire! I want to see McDermott reach into the bag of tricks. I want to see Brady on his ass. I want to see Gronk get punched in the mouth. !@#$ the process. !@#$ the history. I want to see our men smack the Hoodies men around the field tomorrow. Merry !@#$ing Christmas Everyone!

When healthy.....

I’ve said this in another thread, but I can’t understate the loss of Gaines during that drought. We are depth deficient right now and I expect that to get shored up before next year.

I don’t think he had time. That ball died quickly and the dolphins were coming fast. He had to be quick to grab it or things may have gotten a lot more interesting

Dude had back surgery. There’s no way he’s 100% out there

The defender made contact, but if he caught it clean, he could have held on. Zay needs to make that catch.

I thought about Cutler as a MVP, but also thought that was a dick move. Imagine what it would be like if TT had a WR he felt a connection like he did with Clay. We could even name him Sammy

Does not trying to make a thread like this, weekly it seems, not put the poster in the same class as those being called out?

I don’t see why more people aren’t focusing on the Ravens. All we we have to do is beat the Dolphins again and have the Ravens lose 1 more game. Is that really so unrealistic?

Can we please stop with these “I told you so” threads? Everyone has the same chance of being right and wrong. We are the Bills. Everything is always on the table in terms of disappointment.

At Green Turtle (sports bar), they have these drinks they put in these large bowls. The bowls actually look like large, broken in half eggs. My my lady friend and I ordered the one that serves 4 since it was for the whole game. The waitress said she wasn’t allowed to bring it out because of the alcohol content, but could serve us the one that serves 2. Well, it was basically jungle juice where you don’t realize how drunk you are until it’s too late and it stops tasting like alcohol after a few sips. To add to the fun, I also tried their second hottest wings. (Mistake!) By the start of the second quarter, the egg is empty and the winds are gone. I’m walking around the building at halftime with a glass of water in my hand trying to decide where to throw up. But fret not, I was back in my seat to start the second half. I’m not a quitter

I wanted to make a thought about how happy I am that Tolbert got benched, but thought it was mean spirited

Please forgive the lateness and general form in which this was put together. I watched the game at a bar, took on a bowl challenge, may have thrown up, and then had to wait to make the 90 minute drive home. Then I saw the end of the Pats game and threw up again. With that.... 1 - Tyrod - If ever there were a game of Tyrod being Tyrod. Great first half. Some great throws, some terrible throws. Good use of his legs to escape certain sacks as well as get some first downs. The biggest question about Tyrod I have is: What happened to his deep ball? At the beginning of his career here, his deep ball ability was second to his scrambling ability. Now, his deep throws don't seem to have a chance and usually end up out of bounds. I'm happy we are taking shots deep and I know it's a low percentage play anyways, but his accuracy deep is concerning. 2 - McDermott - Playing a Dolphins team that just beat the Pats and have looked good as of late, this team showed up strong. That was easily our best first half of football this season and the game felt relatively in control until the last few minutes. In a game where we could have done very Billsy things, we didn't. What's interesting to me is the aggressive play call we had this week vs last week against the Colts. We go from punting in OT with 4 minutes left to going for it on 4th and 7 and almost 4th and 1. I'm actually happy about the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty against Groy at the end so that we'd kick for 3. It's interesting to see this guy learn as he goes and ultimately I'm believing he'll be our head coach for a years to come. 3 - Shady - 10k on the way to 12k. I've said this in previous weeks, but it's almost too easy to take Shady for granted. Our offense lives and dies with this man, so it should be no surprise that 2 of our first 3 TDs were thanks to him. When we extended him after the trade, I was worried about his ability to produce 3 years into the deal. I was so very wrong. Shady is the heart of our team, is a spectacle on the field, and I hope he retires a Bill. 4 - Before all the fireworks exploded Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying Now what can we say? Have a nice day Looks like rain today... 5 - Cornerback depth - I know that this will make a few people want to throw up on here, but we need to draft or sign more DB's in the offseason. Our pass coverage drops off dramatically when EJ Gaines leaves the field. Johnson is a liability in coverage and our 3 game losing stream occurred when we were down 1 of our 2 starters. I'm not blaming it on solely that, but the defensive play changes immediately. We need to shore the depth up here. 6 - Defensive Containment/Tackling - If there's one thing that worries me the most about next weeks game against the Pats and our 2nd biggest issue on defense, it's the poor tackling and holding to our zones on defense containment. So many big plays today were because of poor angles and bad tackling. The Pats live off of taking advantage of these mistakes and we will get crushed if we keep that up. I can't even count the number of plays I thought were stopped in the backfield only to have it be turned up downfield for a big gain. 7 - Pass Rush - This has been the biggest issue for me this season and I'm happy to see Frazier making adjustments. We aren't sending extra blitzers a lot, but it's more than we were. Our front 4 got pressure on more than a few plays, while also almost creating a few turnovers by knocking the ball out of Cutler's hand. Cutler's internal timer was going off all day and one of the main reasons we had our 3 turnovers. 8 - White - Is anyone else in contention for Defensive Rookie of the Year? I had very little opinion of him when drafted but wow. This kid plays like a seasoned veteran and I was happy he ended up with the game sealing INT. He almost made a beautiful interception in the endzone by reading and cutting on a play perfectly. No matter what happens this season, White is a true standout and positive from this season. 9 - Rivalry? - Does anyone else enjoy having the feeling of a rivalry again with the Dolphins. I know that neither of us are really relevant in the big picture NFL, but I love to hate these guys. Hating the Pats does nothing but make you drink. But you can see the residuals from the Aaron Williams hit last year. These guys really don't like each other and it was evident earlier. I'm actually really disappointed in the Refs for not paying more attention to the after-play action. We need to play smarter, but a lot of unsportsmanlike penalty calls (and blatant holds) weren't called today on the fish. 10 - Control - Two weeks left and we are in control of our own destiny. Yes, we've been here before but we weren't supposed to be here this year. It's been a very up and down ride but it feels good to think about where we are and what's coming up. We have a head coach, a base of players, a lot of picks, and money to spend. The BBFS in me says I'll probably regret saying this, but things might finally be looking up, regardless of how this season ends. All I want for Christmas is a Win over the Pats and broken Brady face. Go Bills!!!!

What the actual !@#$?! I just got knocked out of the fantasy playoffs because I lost the TD and had it turn into an INT. !@#$ the Pats. !@#$ Gronk. This just ruined my season in 5 seconds

That’s a fantastic idea. Put all of our posters with their anonymous “sources” in our own TMZ section.

50 pages....really?

I like the money pit. That is my answer

Great, now I’m cross eyed

Isn’t this the same poster who had a temper tantrum the other day and vowed to not post anymore because he was unwanted? I’m taking this as opinion masked in “sources”

First off, thank you. Second, I’m just calling out a few plays on the kid where we really whiffed in coverage. Overall, I like him and believe he should be starting.

You shut your whore mouth

Doesn’t mean he didn’t also blow some coverages. Rookie mistakes and I still like the kid

To be clear, I don’t think either are great this season. But I do think Tyrod is our better chance of winning right now. Peterman will make just enough rookie mistakes to lose or bring Webb into the game.
