That might have been the O worse series of the year against a 3-11 team.

Special teams tubed the whole series.  They’ve been atrocious.  Allowed two kickoffs to be returned to the 40+ yard line, missed extra point, inexplicably allowing a punt to bounce from the 30 to the 2 yardline

this is on the coaching staff, they don’t even try to run the ball…. They expect josh to carry them every damn week 

They run on 2nd and 1 out of the shotgun.  

[NFL Week #15 - Fish at Buffalo - 2nd half - game thread]

Dorsey running the ball on 2nd and 0.5 yards out of the shotgun killed all of the momentum.  What a braindead playcall

Ticketing is a dirty business.

 

And we both know that most of these Buffalo Bills STH who get these discounted tickets are going to be RAKING IN THE DOUGH.

 

It's a huge machine.  Consumers f*ck each other over every bit as much as artists and TicketMaster f*cks consumers over.

 

Sad.

 

Hence why the tickets shouldn't be free (or close to free) to begin with.  The scalpers or whomever need to have some skin / risk in the game.

There's plenty of free places to stay in Detroit.

 

 

Be nice to Detroit.  Without the mobilization of the Big 3 to create wartime planes, tanks, etc, this country might be speaking German today.  Also, the suburbs are really nice.  I've lived in both Western NY and Metro Detroit and It's not like Buffalo is exactly high on most Americans' lists of desirable places to live either 😆.  Always amuses me when people throw stones.

Great for us Bills fans living here in Metro Detroit! Not so great for the 70,000 fans with tickets for the game in OP. Last time this happened for the Bills-Jets game played at Ford Field the tickets were free.

Yep, I live in Metro Detroit as well and plan to attend with 3 other Bills fans...and then will be at the Thanksgiving game as well.  I hope the tickets for the Browns game are not free...NFL stadium clientele can be suspect to begin with, no need to let people in for free or let scalpers take advantage of the situation.

You would've thought about handing the ball to a running back 3 yards deep in the end zone? That was out the window imo

No…you don’t hand it to the RB.  I would have given Josh the option to stretch the defense on a keeper and if it isn’t there, throw it away.

You put Allen in the shot gun and roll him out. Release a tight end or a receiver. If the end is open then Allen runs, throws to wide open receiver, or throws the ball away. You do that on 1st andc2nd down. If it doesn't work you do the sneak on 3rd down. Game over. 

100%.  Amazing that our coaching staff can’t figure this stuff out

Could've kicked the fg to go up 30-17, got greedy and the game changed. The loss is unequivocally on the coaching staff. If I see one more ***** shotgun run🤬🤬🤬

Funny part is a shotgun run probably would have been the safest play when we were backed up in our own end zone at the end.  Would have given Josh the ability to run the ball or throw it away…but our coaching staff sucks

Going for it on fourth down when a field goal would have put the Bills up 7, then idiotic play calling once again in the Red Zone in overtime.

you can cut the trash out of the games and respectable people can go to games and not worry about getting puked on, pissed on, witness fornicating in the crowd, getting into fights, dealing with obnoxious 20 somethings that just got out of their moms basement for the first time and had their first beer. 

I agree but what is your plan to enforce “cutting out the trash?”  Should they breathalyze everyone at the gate and make it take forever to get in?  Should they not sell alcohol in the stadium?  Just curious how you would handle it as this nonsense happens at every nfl stadium

Just go out and draft Blake Corum ( Michigan) in the 64th pick.  Runs a 4.4 and has much better cut back vision than Motor. Keep developing Cook.

Disagree.  Corum has the benefit of playing behind one of the best OL's in college football.

Not sure how this makes him a scumbag. Do you think he had the weapon to rob or shoot someone? Or strictly self defense 🤔

 

Clearly, you don't know the history of Frank "The Felon."  He has been a scUMbag for a long time.  His first felony was 10 years ago...second degree home invasion during his time at the University of Michigan.  Just add this Uzi episode to the list...

[Adding a RB]

Nothing we can do about it now, but I thought it was a mistake not to make a move for Kenneth Walker during the draft, who seems to be a ready made all-pro since taking over the starting job in Seattle.  He has the highest rate of missed tackles of any RB in the league...constantly makes something out of nothing.  Also has explosive big play ability and homerun speed.  The difference between Walker and James Cook (both taken in Round 2) is glaring.  Beane has been great in the draft overall but I think Walker would have been an instant impact addition vs. a longer term project, which is what Cook seems to be.

I do agree I think his actual mistake was not falling on the football. Blame aside he should have been able to do at least that. 

Agreed, not falling on the football was the most egregious mistake of the entire play.

Could you imagine how good the Bills would be if they would stop with these silly turnovers?  I was surprised when I saw how much they actually turn the ball over...I am not sure what the remedy is, it usually comes on careless type plays.  Almost like they think they are so good, they can just try whatever and it will still work out.  Like the McKenzie pitch in the KC game...he wasn't even looking for the ball and Allen still pitched it...

 

Only 4 teams with a higher percentage of their offensive drives ending in TO's...Rams, Patriots, Saints and Colts.  

 

The only teams with 4 wins or more that have turned the ball over at a higher rate than 8.8% of their offensive drives are the Bills and Jets.  Scary to think how good they could be on offense if they stop turning the ball over.

 

Bills average an NFL best 6.6 Yards/Play, 7.6 Net Yards/Pass Attempt, Score on 46% of our drives, 3rd to Las Vegas and KC and have the highest Expected Points from offense in the NFL at 81.35.

 

This juggernaut could become even better. that's a scary thought.

 

 

The pitch in the KC game was a poor and unnecessary play call, IMO.  The Bills were moving the ball at will until that play.  That being said, I'm not sure it's Josh's responsibility to make sure McKenzie is making eye contact / looking for the ball before he pitches it.  I would argue that it's McKenzie's fault for not keeping an eye on the ball to potentially come his way on a designed option play.  What other purpose was McKenzie serving if he isn't keeping an eye on the ball?

Seems like an overreaction. Really disagree...I think it's rougher than ours.

 

@ Niners is a tough game. 

 

Raiders nearly beat them at home. @ Broncos no joke. 

 

Titans are tough, Jags giving people fits. 

 

Rams are the SB champs and match up well. Could have OBJ by then. Even hags and Texans are not easy outs.

 

 

@ Broncos "no joke?"  Have you watched the Broncos play?  They've had 4 prime time games already and have failed to score more than 19 points in any of those games.  The Broncos are atrocious.

Geez you guys don’t think that a player can have a stinker? What about when he helped dismantle the Pats* last year? Did we forget that? Cut him some slack. How about Davis sun par season before last week? Should we cut his butt too?

McKenzie has largely been living off of that one great performance against the Pats ever since.  I was high on McKenzie before the season but he has not performed well at all.  Lack of awareness (not running out of bounds with no timeouts against the Fins, not falling on the fumble yesterday), turnovers, drops, falling on his face in the end zone on what should have been a TD.  I want him to do well but Shakir seems to have the "it" factor right now and should get a higher % of the snaps.
