Team competed well on the road vs a team that was recently considered among the better in the NFL, has some good players left and was playing for its season. This will sting for the entire two weeks, but it seems another building block for this team. They are going to lose a few like this and Carolina before they "earn" the right to win them. Tough game, played hard by both sides.

We all saw this loss coming with the injuries to WR CB and OL. Miller a healthy scratch for ducasse to start? Barf. our only air weapon Clay gets hurt and it was over for us. We needed a defensive td to win this one cuz our offense dont have the guns and Dennison cant scheme up a full toilet after a trip to del taco. Eat that loss. Let it sting. Get better comeback strong in 2 weeks. Get cream for that fungus too. Fungus is never good.

Negative: Really untimely penalties, like a key DPI on third down and the hold on the long McCoy run.

I'm surprised no one else has brought this up. Penalties killed us at the worst time today.

 

The holding on Logan Thomas after Shady's big run was a death blow.

 

Then earlier there was the BS personal foul call on Jerry Hughes which helped the Bengals score.

 

There was also a terrible call of holding on Dawkins which killed another big offensive play for the Bills.

The Dawkins hold was brutal; that was at least 3 points we lost on that penalty.

 

I am also pretty sure that the Hughes foul and the DPI I mentioned led to scores by the bengals.

The Hughes penalty was a bogus call, and it did lead to Bengals points. The pass interference on Mabin was a correct call, and that might have cost us points too.

 

The holding call on Dawkins was a joke, but the holding call on Logan Thomas was a real killer.

 

Also, we never saw the penalty they called against the Bills after the Green fumble that Poyer returned back to midfield. What exactly happened there?

Good.

O'Leary may be a decent TE

Hyde,Poyer and the tip drills

Lorax is a beast

Winning the turnover battle again

Haushka

Tate is nice to have as a 4th receiver and makes some nice returns

McD is a step up from Rex.

We have a week to heal up and address some glaring problems.

 

Bad

We have glaring problems on offense.

CB depth is lacking. we need Gaines back

D line got no pressure

Dareus could be good if he ever gets motivated

Shady can not carry the offense, he takes too many negative plays.

Offense did not make adjustments

McD is a step below Billychick

 

Ugly

Tyrod can not see the field

Ducasse is putrid, O-line looked weak

WR's are really bad. Zay is a problem being on the field. He needs to get better,

Injuries are crippling. Without Clay and Matthews we will have trouble sustaining drives.

This is not a big play offense.

Dennison is not a good OC

Team depth. Next man up will not carry this team to the post-season.

No idea. I thought it was going to be a late hit out of bounds on the bengals. I wonder if someone had a blindside block or took out dalton on the return.
