At least Dane shouldn’t get burnt with a double move in this wind.

Just looked at the schedule today. These matchups are gross.

One of the rare games that finished before the 3 hour mark. Rushing the ball has a lot to do with that, but so does the lack of calls and stoppage of play. I’ll take this crew over a flag happy one any day of the week.

Don’t know what everyone else thinks, but I love how the game is being officiated. The refs aren’t taking over, the game has a flow and is fast moving. If I was a ref this is exactly what I’d want out of my crew as well.

Josh has been playing pretty bad since the Titans game.

A lot of these talking heads (Orlovsky, Brandt, Brees, Esiason, JayWill, Michael Robinson, and many others) backed the Bills religiously, even after the L to the Jaguars. The team is making every one of them look foolish right now and no one likes to be proven wrong or made to look like a fool. They can be bandwagon fans, we can’t. Hopefully the Bills right the ship and they’re all able to puff their chests out again with what they knew would happen: Bills will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

I doubt they would’ve done much better had Edmunds played against the Colts. Run defense has never been his strength and I know many of you would’ve blamed his failures due to Star being out.

I’d love to see some defensive innovation from McD and Frazier. You’re going against a strong run team, put more defenders in the box on early and running downs. Why not run a 5-2 with either Hyde or Poyer in the box as an 8th defender? The 4-2 nickel scheme wasn’t working and they stubbornly stuck with it.

It’s true the OL needs to play better, much better for the Bills to actually win anything substantive, BUT there are quite a few occasions where Josh has ample time in the pocket and either decides to bail, or hold the ball for over 3 seconds. Either he’s not seeing open receivers, or they’re not getting open for him. The OL would look pretty good if Josh was a “get the ball out in 2.5 seconds” rhythm passer, something Brady has been known for his entire career. We need Josh to elevate the play of his OL and WRs, to make them look better than they are. That would be a true evolution of his game and based on the reports I heard out of camp, I thought he was trending that way and would be the player we’d be getting this year (and evidently so did Brandon Beane). He’s not yet at the level where he can carry the team by himself, despite what Daboll may think - as evidenced by his pass heavy play calls.

KC getting better on D as the year goes on. Sincerely hope that offense doesn’t start clicking as well, or it’s over for the rest of the AFC.

The Colts are not 41-15 better than the Bills, even with the injuries. Colts secondary, like Jacksonville, was also missing key starters but it didn’t matter. Scheme is to blame.

Do you think we could entice Dallas with trading our two time pro bowl MLB for Parsons in the off-season? 😂

Those two only play because of injuries. If Star, Zimmer, Brown, and Feliciano were available neither of those two would be on the field, which sucks given the resources spent to acquire them.

Id argue the fact they DON’T play speaks volumes. If they were difference makers they wouldn’t be healthy scratches or conceding reps to older veterans who aren’t exactly lighting up the field.

Ertz back to looking like a pro bowl TE.

How did the #1 defense play when going against a competent offense? Here’s the thing, we don’t need all of our 2nd round picks to be DK Metcalf, JK Dobbins, Creed Humphrey, etc., but they HAVE to produce better than the Fords, Epenesas, and Bashams of the world.

I think what’s also upsetting is that I’m getting numb to the losses like I was during the drought years. It wasn’t supposed to be like this after reaching the the AFC Championship game last year. If there was ever a time to win it all it was this year and the team dropped the ball. They’re 6-4 on a cupcake schedule, I have zero confidence they’ll actually make a run and beat good or balanced teams.

I would’ve been all for a defensive gameplan that sold out to stop the run. I don’t care if you put 8 or 9 in the box, don’t let Taylor beat you. Bills played 4 down lineman all game, 7 box looks the majority of the game. Never adjusted.

That’s tough. REALLY tough seeing NE listed under “division leaders.”

At least the Texans beating the Titans will distract from this performance a bit this week. But I think it’s obvious: the Bills are not a Super Bowl contender this year. They’re a good team that plays great against lesser squads, but I don’t have faith in them winning it all given their ails.

If you told me Trubisky would be in the game running the O in the 4th Q I would’ve expected a Bills blowout.

Belichick takes away the one thing you do best on offense. Seems the Bills D just runs their nickel zone regardless of the opponent.

Is Vernon Butler still making close to $10M/yr? How big was that paycut he took?

Do the Patsies* led by a rookie QB, trail this same Colts team 7-38 on this day?

Maybe if the Bills had waited until after the season to extend Allen, they could’ve got a discount 🥴
