Allen had an average of 3.5 seconds to throw on Sunday. The line was far from "absolutely terrible".

Buffalo with Allen was the premier OC job in the entire league. Coaches would kill for that job. Instead of holding legitimate interviews and conducting a real search, they handed the reigns to internal, familiar guys with limited resumes. They value safety and familiarity over innovation and challenging the status quo.

He was panting like a dog all game, rolling his eyes on the bench and putting his head down like a little kid that got caught doing something bad. He was the least inspiring "captain" possible. McDermott should strip the C from Allen and Bernard and give them to Dawkins, Spencer, and Bosa. Grow some balls and hold people accountable.

I haven't been this down on the Bills for years. In a third of their games this season they have looked completely unprepared and listless. There is no leadership, and the captains (Allen and Bernard) are nowhere to be found when the team needs to get their collective heads out of their asses and play ball. Allen sulks on the bench by himself and Bernard can't call anyone out because he is playing like garbage. Teams have figured out the Bills offense and have zero fear of the passing game. Media is laughing about how predictable and simple the offensive game plans are. Brady was handed the job because he was familiar, not because he had any sort of track record running an offense. And he is proving how limited he is. The Bills don't have great WRs, but they have guys that have played at a decent level in other situations. Other teams figure out ways to get average WRs open. Hell, KC was famous for their crossing routes and barely legal pick plays. Was Brady sleeping through all those games? All he seems to know how to do is screen plays to Shakir. Allen had 3.5 seconds to throw on average yesterday. The most of his career. The Dolphins didn't even need to pressure Allen to shut down the passing game. Allen holds nobody accountable on the field or off and offers up a "they wanted it more" after another ***** game. How the hell can a 2-7 team with no shot at the playoffs "want it more" than a team fighting for their division and a playoff spot?! I know that response is the generic answer after a loss, but how do you offer that up as an excuse? Yesterday's game virtually guarantees that the patriots win the AFC East. They have a very easy remaining schedule and the Bills will have to finish a full game ahead of them due to conference tie breakers. The Bills most likely lost their division yesterday because a 2-7 Dolphins team "wanted it more"! Let that sink in for a minute. It is a crappy day to be a Bills fan.

Brady lacks any creativity in the passing game. People act like we have a bunch of undrafted FAs running around at WR and TE. They may not be world beaters, but we watch other teams scheme average WRs open every week. Brady needs to focus on learning intricacies of the passing game. I was really hoping that would have been an improvement made over the off season.

It doesn't matter if they pick anyone up to replace these guys because it apparently takes a full offseason and training camp to learn the intricacies of the offense and defense. Even though opposing defenses and offenses seem to pick it up pretty quickly. They could always bring back past their prime Bills players that "know the system".

Does anyone else feel like the Bills players take much longer to come back from injuries than other teams? I can understand being cautious, but at what point do you expect a player to get back on the horse and play even if they may not be 100%? Obviously we do not know what goes on behind the scenes, and I don't obsessively follow other teams injury situations. With that said, why would it take Hairston multiple weeks to "learn the defense" as has been said a handful of times. How much worse could he be than White lining up 15 yards downfield because he can't keep up with anyone? It's not like the defense is a finely oiled machine that could be thrown off by a couple mistakes. The defense is an absolute mess with players that should be watching the game from their couch playing meaningful snaps. I really hope to see Hoecht and Ogunjobi active for this game. If this defense is so complicated that pros can't figure it out, and they can only sub in over the hill ex Bills players, something needs to change. Maybe it is time to take off the kid gloves and play football. (I know I am currently a keyboard warrior sitting at my desk with an aching back). The other point of contention I have is the incessant need to rotate players at several positions. It clearly is not working. Play the best players and only take them off the field if they really need a breather. If they aren't able to play the majority of the snaps, maybe it is time to look into the conditioning program.

Hard to respect a guy that took his ball and went home as soon as he was challenged on TBD. Timmy writes a good article now and then, but he also has always had a penchant for being negative.

How are the Falcons not undefeated?! They sound awesome!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...You said "Hard on".

Anything can happen. With that said, I really don't get hype with the Pats*. They are a .500 team with losses to the Raiders and Steelers. They are an average team at best. Drake Maye is not the "next Josh Allen" as some have claimed, and has a long way to go before those comparisons should even be considered. I can't wait for this game and I hope the Bills players are annoyed with the Pats* ball washing this week and decide to remind them who owns the East.

Bills 38 Pats* 20

The Bills are undefeated and the Pats* are .500 with one loss against a 1 win team. The Bills have won all their games by at least 10 points except for the opener against the Ravens. The Pats* are not anywhere near as good as the Bills and all this fear and apprehension for the upcoming game makes no sense.

The Patriots* have wins over teams with a combined 1-6 record. They lost to a bad Raiders team and a mediocre Steelers team. Why are so many people scared of this game? The Patriots* are nothing more that an average team (at best) that has won games against the bottom feeders of the league. Of course, anything can happen on Sunday, but this is not a game that the Bills (or fans) should fear. It is not a "tough game". This board is full of spoiled fans that can't just enjoy the fact that the Bills are one of the top teams in the league. If they win, it is not by a large enough margin. People would rather talk about the possible mistakes made in past drafts than enjoy the fact the Bills are the only undefeated team in the AFC. Toughen up cupcakes and enjoy the ride to the 1 seed! The Bills are going to crush the pats* and demoralize their fans.

The Bills are 4-0. Go away.

The player touched the ball while he was out of bounds. That ball was down!

"Well the Bills warmed up by concussing Fields today." That thread was enjoyable!

What they failed to mention is that it was a cowboy boot and a scooter is his horse's name.

John Candy is a legend. One of the best in his field and from all accounts a great guy.

Might be jumping the gun just a little. Let's at least wait until he plays more than 1 qtr of pro football before crowning him an All Pro.
