    - When are you firing Daboll?

    - Last year after KC, you said if you could do it again you wouldn't settle for FGs. Why did you lie?

    - Do you plan to ever stop using the heavy D line rotation that is killing this team?

    The d line rotation is horrible how many times does a lineman make a great play then come out 

    Emotional Loss

    Not anything with too much insight here, just mostly opinion. 

     

    Very upset with the outcome tonight. But maybe it’s a good thing. 

     

    The other losses this season, it was all script after the game. The same from Josh, “this isn’t the team we are, we need to be better, we will be better.” The same from McDermott, the same from Daboll, the same from Poyer and Hyde and anyone else that gets interviewed. Something along the lines of this isn’t us, we can be better, we will be better. 

     

    This loss is very reminiscent of the Arizona game last year, an emotional rollercoaster that we ended up on the wrong side of. And that lit a fire under everyone’s ass. 

     

    Maybe, just maybe, it was emotional enough to the team to change their scripted interviews and soft locker room interactions into something that actually means something. Something that lights a fire under their ass.

     

    Typically I try to be a realist (that probably leans toward optimist), but maybe they needed the heartbreak. The Tennessee game was heartbreak, but it was early enough in the season where it was kind of like, eh whatever we’ll recover. 

     

    This loss has the team against the ropes in the ring, they lost in the 12th round and the next loss isn’t something you recover from. 

     

    Im probably being too optimistic, — but maybe, just maybe, — but maybe it’s something that hit home hard enough to light a legitimate fire this time. They came back, they fought harder than we’ve truly seen all season, and they fell short. 

     

    Just enough fight that fell too short to make them mad enough to see a different type of fire under them. Wake them up from what seemed to be a bad mindset of ‘hey, we’re really good we’re just going to recover,’ and change it to ‘hey, we really need to prove ourselves, we haven’t done s**t at this point.’

     

    In the second half, the offensive line suddenly appeared. The defense, which has been terrific all season, seemed to wake up and say we’re going to bail our offense out of a game. Daboll called a game that was reminiscent of the elite offense that we had game in and game out last year. They fixed all of the issues that were consistent this year,...  and they still fell short, by just a hair. 

     

    They needed the emotional loss, they got it, and maybe it was enough to wake them up? 
     

    Let’s hope so, Go Bills. 

    I agree except Daboll in ot went well Daboll. No trick play or a deep pass to start. no straight out run again. It is too east to predict him. Maybe a McKenzie sweep. No we went to the same run that killed is Last week

    Two wrongs don't make a right.  Of course we were outplayed and I don't think the refs were the difference in the game, but that doesn't mean the game wasn't horrible officiated, as usual.


    There were some HUGE calls in this game made/non made that directly impacted the outcome.

     

     

    Outplayed it was ot we were tied and the refs horrible calls was a hugh factor in our loss

    True, but to do so, our team also needed to show up in the first half.  So you have the variable of officiating in the mix, and has been proven time and time again in the modern NFL, you cannot rely on consistent officiating.  You've got to win ballgames, or you're *****.

    But many drives in the first half are different if the calls are correct

    By your rationale, and that of the "blame the refs" crowd, the Bills could not have won this game given referee incompetence.  Ok then.  I think better coaching decisions and better play by the players at crucial moments was more important to the outcome than "the refs."

    The refs cost us you don’t see that? No call at end of regulation the blatant rip diggs jersey off hold earlier. The no call in OT then to call Wallace when evens is doing pi! Common man

    I'd have to watch the replays again, but iirc, Wallace did not turn back toward the ball. Doesn't matter if the WR slows up and causes the collision. A smart QB & WR will intentionally cause that contact if the DB is out of position and doesn't turn his head.

     

    I'd have to watch the Diggs play again to see if that DB had his head turned.

     

     

    Wallace was turning his head and then evens whos has his arm around Wallace pulls him in. It’s hard to turn your head when your arm is being pulled in
