Ignore the trolls!

Yep, the timeouts just added to my WTF reaction, especially the 2nd one. You call a timeout to set up a defense where 2 defenders are in a zone and let Kelce run right between them to catch that pass?!

I still believe either: 1) Frazier was given the opportunity to walk away rather than be fired or 2) McD wanted to make the defensive calls, so Frazier didn’t want to stick around I don’t think Frazier returns.

How about another loss to New England?

As long as McD is around it’ll likely be a defensive player, probably DB or DL.

The heck with Mt Rushmore. I think we could come up with a top 100 for this franchise.

C’mon, it should never have gotten to that. The defense had just stopped Minnesota but the Bills were stuck at the one, fumbled the snap and gave up a TD.

Might only be Smiley, and Brady if he gets passed over for the OC job.

They were similar with Rivers.

Ugh, the defense is giving up less than 20 pts per game, including last night’s game, ranked 6th in the league. Yardage wise they’re 10th. In what’s now a passing league, they’re 7th in the NFL, giving up just over 200 yards passing/game.

The ‘Prevent Defense’ which frequently prevents wins.

He was in position and had enough time to nail him and keep him out of the end zone. Wimpy attempt.

Yes, some people just can’t remember that Beane was hired after McDermott and had input on the GM hire. They are also on the same level, both reporting to Pegula.

That’s great! When I first saw what Brady said, I thought “wait a minute, he just retired”. It’s not like he retired 10+ years and is comparing eras.

I just posted the same thing an hour before you did.

It’s not over until I say it’s over! As opposed to that 5 game stretch of blown games, they showed today that they could go toe to toe with one of the elite teams in the league on the road. I will kindly eat crow if I’m wrong, but I still predict, as I did last week, that they will come out of the bye and win their last 5 games. Miami will lose to Baltimore and Dallas and when the Bills beat the Dolphins in the last game, they will again win the AFC East.

One vote for Mike LaFleur!

But didn’t Allen say a while back that Gabe was the smartest WR he had played with?

The playing of the game has also been mediocre overall this season. I used to like watching other games with QBs like Brees, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, Rivers, etc. Now, we’re lucky to see a couple games that are worth watching. Even Brady agrees with me.

Exactly. From what we could see from the broadcast, he was calmer than I expected. Yes, he should’ve complained enough to get a penalty and fine. In my opinion, there were too many key plays in this game to blame it on one call, but that was blatant. Should Josh have tried to throw that ball? Of course not, but common sense is not being used on there grounding calls this season. On that play, Josh was in the grasp and being spun around. Of course the ball isn’t going to go where intended. QB throws deep, receiver stops and that’s grounding? Ridiculous! I hope the Competition Committee addresses this in the off-season.

I was shocked the refs actually called the roughing the passer penalty in OT. Since there was some acting by Josh, I wouldn’t have been surprised for there to be no roughing but Josh called for unsportsmanlike conduct for the acting. it honestly seemed like the refs were on the take or were afraid to call penalties against the home team in Philly.

Honestly, yes there were MANY calls that went against the Bills but there were a lot of key plays in the game and Philly just found a way to make enough of them to win the game.

I see you’ve been paying attention to the broadcast refs in the past week. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard this mention of ‘time element’ before but have now heard it several times in the last week.

Just slightly over Sherfield, who was talked up by his former teammates in Miami but hasn’t contributed much

Here’s my Bills prediction: they lose the next game to go into the bye at 6-6. Out of the bye, they win the last 5 games, which would include of course winning the last game in Miami. Miami loses to Dallas and Baltimore. Both teams end up 11-6 but we get the division by beating them twice. As the division winner with the worst record, the Bills have to play the best wild card team, which is Miami and we beat them a 3rd time at home in January.
