Raiders threw 1 pic to Buffalo's 3 turnovers and the Patriots missed a 40 yard field goal. Patriots average starting position on offense? NE 27. Against us? NE 34. 2 Drives started in Buffalo territory due to turnovers. New England actually had a very similar output yards wise in both games, the difference was the Bill's offense not protecting the ball Pittsburgh game, New England had 5 turnovers. Maye fumbled multiple times, so did their backs. Turnovers are very fluky, as we saw last night. Pitt defense played well that game, but Diggs wasn't Diggs and Maye didnt get 3-4 throws off that were drive extenders like last night. I'm not saying the defense was the 85 Bears last night. They were good, not great. However, the offense was putrid, and I find it funny when I come in and see post after post about the defense blowing it yesterday. That's crazy talk. If the offense plays an average game, we win 27-14 and all of this is moot. Offense let the team down

1) Maye is a good QB, good QBs make plays. We saw Rattler do the same thing. The defense is trying to rush 4, and their contain wasn't good enough. With that said, Diggs bailed Maye out COUNTLESS time, which leads me to point 2 2) Coverage on every player but Diggs was really good last night. Really good. Diggs just simply played the game of the season, extending plays and using those short dig routes to get the ball and then turn upfield. He came prepared. Diggs is a good player, and a motivated good player can be a problem. Every single other player for New England other than Diggs was held under 50 yards rushing or receiving. This game was Diggs willing that offense via YAC and 3rd down grabs to 23 points. Again, everyone is piling on the defense for holding the Patriots to 23 points. With 3 turnovers that the defense had to try to bail the offense out on. Look at the offensive drives in the first half: Drive 1 - 33 yards, Fumble Drive 2 - 20 yards, Punt Drive 3 - -5 yards, Fumble Drive 4 - 54 yards, Field Goal Drive 5 - 17 yards, Punt That's unacceptable. That's not the defense. That's the offense committing errors and putting their defense on short fields and tiring them out. The defense played their ass off to keep the score 6-3 going into halftime. Bill's offense came out in the second half and played much better, but yet again turned the ball over - in the redzone - which was a killer. If they simply kick a field goal, that game is 23-20 with the Patriots needing to march down to tie with 2 minutes left. Offense blew the game last night. The defense wasn't perfect, but I dont want to hear that the defense was the problem when they had 4 sacks and held New England to under 80 yards on the ground.

The defense isn’t perfect, but if they showed no spine that series, I wonder if the offense (Josh included) were born with a spine at all their first half is one of the worst halves of offensive football I’ve seen from this team in years

So we just ignore the offense with their multiple turnovers and poor performance in the first half because the Bills defense is human? the defense did not lose us this game. The offense was the issue

The lions did exactly what we just did in week 1. Every team has a bad game, it’s just what happens. The Bills are still right at the top of the league.

Now I’ve heard it all! the Bills aren’t that good… man, better not tell other teams we aren’t that good! If that’s the case, nobody is that good!

I’m confused with all of the defense was bad posts. bills offense gave the patriots the ball inside of our 15, D holds them to a FG Allen has a chance to tie the game at 13, throws a bad pic and now we are on the backfoot defense holds NE to 3 points before the half with some tight coverage (whites PI was a bad play from him, but Milano then does well to force Henry off his line Diggs played well, but the defense shut down every other dimension of the Patriots. The loss is on the offense. Turning the ball over, bad penalties, and lack of run game hurt them

They did what we do to teams. Not turn the ball over, and finish drives in the red zone (barring the halftime possession) Bills played their stinker of the year. I’d bet my life they don’t have three turnovers in a game the rest of the year. this was the Houston game from last year. Sucks, but no team is perfect

Roseman is incredible, but Nick S is an #######. ive mentioned before, but i have family who worked directly for him over the past few years. They hate him. Blames everyone, douchebag personality, doesn’t care about anyone in the building

Great to see. I was a fan of getting him signed, but wasn't sure if $15M would be worth it. To be honest, I still am not 100% that $15M a year made sense, but to get him done at $12M was a GREAT deal. Which doesn't kick in until next year to boot!

I think AJ is a decent player. Maybe not championship starting D-line calibar, but he is a rotational D for most teams. If Jackson can be that as a cost controlled asset for a few years, I dont have any issues with the pick. If I judge the players I wanted who were available but not selected over Jackson: Jaylin Noel - 3 catches for 9 yards this year Xavier Watts - 17 tackles, 2 interceptions Watts has played well, but I dont know that he would have started over Rapp or Bishop. Noel has been a nothing-burger so far. Fingers crossed on Jackson, but even if he doesn't pan out, the picks of Walker/Strong/Hawes have shown to be solid enough for me to forgive his selection.

I was particularly interested in drafting Landon Jackson. I was comfortable taking him at 30th if the board fell into a worst case scenario. From what I was reading, he was struggling with the misdirection and mental side of our system. I'd have liked for him to get some reps, but I'm going to give him time. He was a guy I was high on, so I may be biased, but I think there is a player there. Just needs to develop and adapt to the system. AJ looked bad his first year, and has developed into a rotational piece. I still have that hope for Jackson.

If they struggle into the Bye week, I could potentially see a coordinator change. If it doesn't happen at the bye, I dont think it happens for the rest of the season

Knox absolutely seems like a career Bill, and would take quite the cut to stay with the team

Worthy career stats: 64 catches 721 yards 6 touchdowns longest reception: 54 yards Coleman career stats: 46 catches 759 yards 5 touchdowns longest reception: 64 yards Folks are creating things out of thin air. Coleman has been very comparable to Worthy, while having the longer reception between the two, and averaging a higher yards per catch. I get it, Worthy fast! But in reality, Coleman has shown to be quite solid at those 15-20 yard routes from the boundary.

Worthy looked good... against a defense that Coleman scored on and had 112 yards... Not concerns with the Worthy/Coleman deal.

They need someone who isn’t so expensive with so much baggage. I’d go after Shaheed from the saints if they want a receiver, but I wouldn’t target offense. Go get a great safety or linebacker so you can play more base.

Coleman - 22 targets, 17 catches kincaid - 18 targets, 14 catches shakir - 20 targets, 16 catches i mean, it isn’t like Kincaid and Shakir aren’t getting target share…. All three play a valuable role in the offense

Week 1 is the weirdest week in sports. I never try to read into it.

Lamar was dancing plenty fine through the game and after the play he wasn’t limping or looking too hurt. Maybe he is hurt, but I’d bet a decent amount of coin Lamar plays next week. your team is 1-2, about to be 1-3. You are the 2 time MVP. Your division leader just won this morning to go 3-1 on the year. And you come out for a hammy when you are walking fine? id be pissed if Allen did that.

Last season, Allen is knocked out against the Texans, goes out anyway. This season, punched in the face, broken nose, misses what - two plays? Lamar hurt feelings - out for the rest of the game

Harbaugh taking Lamar out to try to get out of the blame from media for the beatdown he is getting... lol I dont want to hear about Lamar>Allen anymore. It's so obvious Lamar struggles against competent teams it's disgusting to even hear his fans talk about him in the same league.

Bills: 4-0 30+ points each game Have a chance to go 5-0 for the first time in Allen's career Can have a division win against each AFC East team if they win next week Have a RB who is crushing it Top QB in the league No major injuries right now Rookie class that is continuing to develop (Walker/Hawes/Strong stand out) Lots of positives so far, just need to have the train continue to chug along.

Put Dart in, get him some rhythm throws, and see what he can do russ ain’t it

Smart for Russ to leave a clean pocket to run into pressure and then force a sideline throw… brilliant
