Stop the run and cover ONE guy, make the rest beat you. Nope? Ok let's just let Kelce score at will

How do you lose him is right

The Defense is absolute trash right now

Dodson back in

I dunno what adjustment you can make to help Klein other than to have someone sitting over Kelce every play and that doesn't help.

Be careful, steelers fans think the refs screwed them. They are pointing to "fake" Josh slide, late hit, and DPI on 4th down as their examples. I think they didnt get a TO off Josh like they all thought would happen, so they should just accept they lost.

Araiza has at least held for FGs throughout training camp, no other punter has with this unit.
Araiza has held for Bass before in preseason. If we need a punter next week he could well be the pick.

Allen with the blatant fake slide on the long run, then later draws a 15 yard penalty on a late hit on slide where the defender didn't hit his head.....but can you blame him for going for the tackle based on the fake earlier?
The slide is a play intended to protect the QB, not to do what Allen did. That was garbage.
Go away

We need TB back as soon as possible. If he's able to make it back at any time during the playoffs thats a huge W.

Boggles the mind. Truly a “fan” base that deserves absolutely nothing.
My experience with that fan base has been nothing but negative. Is it just me or are they worse than Pats fans? Massholes were frustrating because they just acted like winning was owed them and they always acted superior, but tbh their team was just better than everyone else's at the time. I haven't encountered a modern Fish fan who isn't simple delusional - i.e. they aren't just good, Tua is better than Allen and the Bills suck; their stadium cooks opposing players to death, that's hilarious (I find this assinine); I've seen WAY more personal insults towards other fans on twitter from these people than I ever saw from NE fans.
Am I wrong in my feelings here or they just worse?

He has been trash at setting the edge this year, he’s the last guy I want out there getting pushed past the play. I hope he’s done for the season.
This. He's been a liability in run defense IMO. I could be accused of missing something of course but the Fins' rbs are too fast to have a poorly set edge, they will make us pay for leaving him on the field.

I mean seriously - if you don't want to read a long post, what on earth do you think you're accomplishing by announcing that to the world? How about this - if you don't want to read something, just...DON'T READ IT.
It's mocking you for taking yourself so seriously. Must have gone over your head because you presume people are hanging on your every word. That's gotta be the longest post I've seen on here that included zero facts and all defensive opinions.

Funny that you mention "my sarcasm" when I either quoted or slightly paraphrased what you wrote. I would say your negativity did the screaming, I just opened the window to make it easily heard. I grant you didn't say our OC sucks, but I think that's a reasonable paraphrase of "his play calling and scheme seems to be faltering".
You're probably going to dismiss this response as waffling, but I've been very consistent in this and folks who've forgotten more football than I've ever known can confirm - I am very up-front about saying that I can not judge things like WR separation, play calling and design, and even QB play from the televised broadcast. I don't have the deep football knowledge that can pick out stuff like what the defensive coverage is based on how the LB and nickel are positioned or even how they're standing pre-snap. I need all-22 and a detailed look at the offensive and defensive alignment pre-snap, the route combos being run, and so forth.
Then I can start to see things like WR separation, how much time there was for the play to develop, whether there were open receivers who might have been a higher-percentage throw, and so forth and I start to be willing to have an opinion.
I heard it said over and over here there were no open WR for Josh (under Dorsey) and when looking at the all-22 there were in fact short outlet receivers open and sometimes other receivers open. Then we have to look at the sequence - were they open at the point where Josh had to make a decision? or had he already rolled out of the pocket to the opposite side? Then stuff it's frankly beyond my level of football acumen (and apparently, beyond the level of former NFL QB like Warner and O'Sullivan) to know, like what was the sequence of reads?
I have the impression that our OC, Brady, did make adjustments in the 2nd half that helped the passing game.
I also have the impression that teams are playing a lot more man against us this season. This is a problem for two reasons: because teams were showing man but really playing half-and-half coverage, or showing man but then dropping into zone, I think the Bills made a tactical decision to not change plays but rather to incorporate a man-beater and a zone-beater into almost every play (I could be wrong here, this is just what I see). The problem with this is more than 1 guy has to be able to beat man coverage consistently. It works, so teams keep using it.
As far as the Pats run D, you always got to take those rankings with a bit of a salt shaker and look at who did, and didn't, have rushing success against the Pats. The Jets, Colts, Giants, and Chargers ran all over NE - these aren't top rushing teams, though they're teams with a capable rush offense. The Bills put up 93 yds in our first game against them and 103 yds yesterday. They are 8th for Y/A and 9th for Y/G, and Josh is the #2 rusher - by a LOT. The Bills quietly seem to have a rushing offense this season. So no, it wasn't a big surprise to me, or I feel for people studying the game enough to have strong opinions.
I agree with you that consistency has been a huge problem for the Bills this season. They have absolutely lost games they could have, and arguably should have, won. All of their losses have been 1-score games, and in (I think) 3 of them the Bills had the lead and the D couldn't get the needed stop. But the Bills were in that position because their offense wasn't clicking in several of those games. It's a fair point.
The thing is, I believe most teams have their inconsistent moments and their moments of getting flat out whupped. The Ravens are red-hot right now, which can make it easy to overlook that they got stifled by the Colts and the lowly Steelers, and stymied by the Browns. The 12-4 49ers have been a juggernaught at times, but they had a 3 game skid involving losses to the "OK" Vikes and the somehow very-good Browns, then got whalloped by the Bengals and Ravens."My eyes just don't see a SB team here". I don't know what to say to that. In 2021, the Bengals were 10-7 when they beat the Chiefs in the AFCCG after 13 seconds and then lost to the Rams - who if I recall correctly, had to sneak in through the WC route and had a decimated secondary where they literally called up a guy who was out of football for a year to play safety in that game and he wound up with the green dot calling the plays for the secondary even. In 2020, TB was 11-5 and Brady threw three (3) picks against GB in the AFCCG. I did NOT see a Superbowl team there....and yet....
My point is I apparently don't know what is or isn't a Superbowl team when I see it. A lot depends on who gets hot at the right time.
First things first: Win and Get In.
You really surprise me when you say you will be pumped during the game. I used (for my sins) to read the gameday threads assiduously and my impression is that you were consistently a "negative nancy" therein.
Apologies if I missed one of your questions
