The hold had no bearing on the play. McKenzie was well past the block point.

Which is extremely disappointing given the amount of draft picks put into it. We have two 2nd round DEs from the past 2 years inactive tonight.

DL worse game of the year BY FAR against a shoddy Titans OL. It’s amazing what I’m seeing.

Where are you getting that? I saw him walk off the field on that 3rd and 8 talking with the ref.

The scary thing is Josh could’ve had an even better first half and he’s still playing very well.

Spencer Brown’s false start gave the Bills a TD because Diggs dropped the 3rd and 8

Tanny is one of if not the most sacked QB and the Titans pass rush has been poor all year, as has their secondary. We’re seeing evidence of none of that tonight. As they say, that’s why they play the games.

Bills O always struggles against the Titans D for some reason, no matter how garbage it is.

Remember how bad the replacement refs were? And everyone was like “hurry up and get the real referees back in here, these guys are terrible and ruining games.” The real refs are terrible and ruining games as well and unlike the replacements, they carry biases towards certain teams and players. It’s a difficult job, no doubt, but penalties need to go back to looking like actual penalties, egregious ones, for the flag to be warranted. No more ticky-tack nonsense that affords the refs screen time.

When and how did you become a Bills fan, Gunner?

Cant remember who said it, but one of these announcers said something along the lines of “there needs to be an investigation by the NFL into the Pittsburgh, Buffalo game. How did this Pittsburgh team beat the Bills?” Bogus calls to wipe out a Tre White interception, multiple ticky-tack pass interference calls on our DBs, offensive holding calls every other play, subpar QB play, subpar play calling, a sieve of an offensive line, a blocked punt for a TD, and two fortunate Pittsburgh receptions, one of which went for a TD. It took all that for the Bills to lose by a single score.

I believe that drive ended in a FG too. Good thing it wasn’t costly.

Wouldn’t it be over a TD? At TEN - 3.5, neutral field - 6.5 (taking away the Titans 3 pt home field advantage), at BUF 9.5. Always thought thats how it works.

Yeah, but I just heard Max Kellerman say Justin Herbert is better than Josh RIGHT NOW 😂

I do believe tonight was only the second loss in Mahomes career that the Chiefs have lost by more than one score. The other was the loss to TB in the Super Bowl. They’ve been that good, so the fans aren’t used to seeing Mahomie and crew dominated.

Brownies were up 22-10 at halftime but got outscored 23-7 the second half. Gotta keep a foot on the Chiefs neck, they’re not gonna go away quietly.

Bills do employ a heavy rotation, none of the lineman are on the field for more than 57% of the snaps, BUT because we’ve held decent leads, the opportunity to rush the passer has been greater, yet that hasn’t turned into an increase in sack production by the DL. Rousseau and Star lead the way with 2 sacks each and only Rousseau is in the top 50 in terms of pressure percentage.

Chandler seems to be having a bad day maybe. The thread I linked to The Athletic article about the top pass rushers was even questioned. Maybe he wants an atmosphere that’s more like a library, where everyone is quiet and no one posts 😂

Yeah, that’s included in the pressure percentage.

Of the players charted, there was a baseline of 50 or more pass rush snaps. I don’t have the breakdown for how often our ends or tackles have rushed, or played the run, versus dropping back in coverage, but here are the total snap counts for each defender most often tasked with rushing the passer. I’d be willing to bet many of them cross that 50 snap baseline as well, so the thread is relevant in my eyes. Epenesa: 93 Oliver: 130 Rousseau: 127 Hughes: 123 Zimmer: 110 Addison: 101 Star: 80 Butler: 85

It’s so bizarre. OTs are getting away with murder and I can’t recall the last holding penalty Hughes generated. Can’t all be due to the referee grudge, can it? I can’t see collusion in a billion dollar industry to not call holding if Hughes is the player.

The Bills couldn’t get pressure on Mahomes with 4 or 5 rushers when he had a banged up OL, so with an offensive line that is much improved this season, I’m not sure how any of those rushers are going to get home. That’s why I say to use one of the DEs to jam Kelce whenever he’s lined up tight to the formation. Likely wouldn’t get there anyway. But yes, overall the ROI is not there.

One Buffalo Bill made the list: NFL Pressure Index As a team, the Bills rank 6th in pressure rate (8.3%), but with the amount of investment in the defensive line over the last couple years, should it be a concern that only Rousseau (12.5%; 30) is among the top 50 players? It is interesting that Cam Heyward (12 pressures; single game high) and Deron Payne (10 pressures) wouldn’t be in the top 50 either if not for their monster performances against the Bills. Also, the 200KB restriction for images is so tiny! Not sure I’ve ever seen below 600KB, so apologies if the table comes in a little fuzzy.

Best game since perhaps his rookie year, his best season. I’d love for Edmunds to turn into a game wrecker, I don’t think any true Bills fan roots against his success, but I’m not going to crown him “all pro” because he had a good game against the Texans. I hope to see more impactful plays from him going forward, especially in big games. Side note, whoever’s responsible for covering Kelce next week, Edmunds, Tre Day or whoever, can Frazier PLEASE have a DE jam him off the line of scrimmage every time he’s in tight formation?! Disrupt Mahomes timing, the DE tasked with jamming Kelce likely wouldn’t sack Mahomes anyway.

What’s the parking situation for the Texans game? Hanmer’s Lot? I’m a newb flying in for only my second game ever!
