The O has a three and out fans say, "Hackett sucks, what horrible play calling." The D gives up a TD drive the fans say, "(insert players name here) made a mistake." I like Pettine's system more than that of the past couple of years too but it doesn't mean he's infallible and doesn't deserve blame when things don't go well.

The Bills made some mistakes because they have players logging significant time at key positions who aren't very good. It wasn't some fluke. You can't trot Thad Lewis into the superdome and think you're going to come out with a win. There is no way in hell the Bills "should have won this game."

Yeah, I don't wish injury on anybody but when you're up 3 scores with 3 minutes left and you're still dropping back to pass you deserve a scare to your starting QB.

He's been doing it all half. It's making me sick to my stomach. He called them "scrappy" at one point.

I'd like to see SJ sit the rest of the game out. He's a warrior to be sure but this game is way out of hand. No need to risk injuring it more.

Oh, he's entered Jauron territory but the more open I see this offense with Lewis at the helm the more I understand why he does it.

You sure?

I agree, we might finally have three WRs who are worth having on the field.

Two fumbles and a horrible INT with a penchant for sailing throws. I don't understand why Hackett is conservative with his play calling.

It could be a groin but it looks like he keeps holding his hip.

I don't mind this challenge. Those time outs aren't going to matter if they Saints keep marching down field. They need a stop and it looked like a bad spot.

That was spectacular.

Even when there's no flag they throw a flag.

It looks good until the green QB makes a big mistake. I don't blame Hackett for a conservative game plan with the players he has.

I'm not arguing the O is better than the D, I just expect way more from the D. And yeah, they have way more talent than the O on the field right now.

Because nobody dislikes an aggressive D. They're fine dying by the sword. Bottom line is the D gives up big plays, lots of yards, too many penalties and lots of points every game. They should be complaining about the D as well as the O. People see the D play well for a few drives and go, "The D came to play!" and excuse all the drives & points they give up the rest of the game. The D has all the talent yet comes up small almost every week. The O has a 3rd string, practice squad QB playing and they blame the offensive coordinator.

Just noticed the team I'm playing in FF has Brees this week. Talk about it hurting twice as much.

Yeah, you might have noticed him breaking up a TD pass earlier.

Geez, first drive of the 2nd half and the announcers are already giving the Bills the "they play tough every week" crap. All we need now is Meredith singing, "turn out the lights, the party's over."

You don't want them to call play action when they have a running game like they do? Yeah, okay.

Graham might want to consider actually running hard on go routes. And yeah, Thad needs to hold onto the ball.

They're going to have to go up top to get them off the LoS.

They actually improved their field position by turning the ball over.

Nicely done D.
