Two really long passing burns by the secondary Offense looks dead and rotting No change in the game plan Line can't hold the pass rush out for an entire quarter so TT can read a defense Pass rush looked dead Can't convert turnovers on short field.

Albwan Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 lets face it the bengals were playing scared this week and still the bills got methodically picked apart by andy dalton seen games like this so many times over the years, no franchise qb and lots of excuses = loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) This one hurt. Ball bounced our way a lot. Didnt take advantage.

BmarvB Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Offense couldn't take advantage of the turnovers. TT took too many unnecessary sacks WR's are about as useful as a flea collar on a dead dog Not much in the way of a pass rush. They got taken to school this week. Make up for it next game guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That air mailed INT in the 4th sealed his low grade. If he led the team down field, It would be have been C+ if we won due to his amazingly anemic passing yards and his taking stupid sacks.

CircleTheWagons99 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Again. This is who Taylor is and there will always be people saying he has no weapons. He had similar games with woods, watkins, clay and shady healthy. Stop babying him. He has been a started for 2.3 years and has not progressed at all. I said it in the gameday thread and ill say it again. Bills and most fans where OK with giving a rookie only 10 games but are fine waiting 3 years fir an 8 year vet to finally get it.

I stated I wasn't ready for a change at the beginning of the season. I was willing to give TT the benefit of the doubt due to the fact that people gave Fitz more time than TT. I said I would reserve my judgement until the bye. It's the bye. . .he's proven nothing to me that he can run an offense. I am willing to see a QB change now. TT is barely passable at worst, approaching average at best. There is enough of a sample size to warrant a change in thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 And take Clay out of the game and it's lights out for B-lo. ...can't trash O'Leary....and Thomas was a relative newbee to the equation.....spreading the wealth during healthy times gets everyone ready to step up when injuries arise and your have new "go to" guys who know the live drill.........

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Good Hyder Poyer Oleary ST bad White Entire Bills offense lack of WRS Poor gameplan by Dennision You don't need wide receivers if you have no one to get the ball to them.

Bacchus44 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Saw O'Leary whiff on a couple of blocks, but then again so did several of our OL at different stages of the game. This offense is in trouble without any semblance of a deep threat. This loss was not a big surprise to me, but I still like the direction McDermott is taking with this team.

frostbitmic Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Positives - Our Safety's are the best we've had in a long time Steven thunderfoot Hauschka Negatives - Clay's Knee A starting O-line with a rookie LT and side by side turnstiles on the right. Worst WR group in the league Only two positives We lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
