I heard shady threw TT under the bus. Any word on what he said?

Shady's locker room interview he took a jab at Taylor or Dennison. 

He outplayed Fournette all day . You can hear the frustration in his voice

You fire the OC after one year, where the QB misses reads

This.

I saw some very creative play calling unfortunately with a QB who cannot pre-read a defense and completely misses big opportunities. Listen closely to Romo. I don't think you can change offensive systems every year and ever be successful.

This was my point. The qb just doesn’t see it

TOP 5 GRADES:

Jordan Poyer87.0 overall grade

DE Lorenzo Alexander83.4 overall grade

CB Tre’Davious White83.1 overall grade

LB Preston Brown83.1 overall grade

CB E.J. Gaines80.3 overall grade

 

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:

QB TYROD TAYLOR53.4 OVERALL GRADE

In what ultimately may be his last game as a Bill, Taylor was unable to make the plays the team needed. He was cruelly denied a chance to lead a late comeback because of injury, but the work before that didn’t suggest he had the tools to overcome the Jaguars’ fearsome defense. Taylor hit on just three passes further than 10 yards in the air as the Jaguars regularly got pressure on him (16 of 43 dropbacks). Taylor has done enough in his time at Buffalo to earn a shot elsewhere, but in this, his biggest game, he didn’t do enough to make the decision-makers in Buffalo think it will be with them.

WR KELVIN BENJAMIN40.8 OVERALL GRADE

An unlikely playoff run sparked an aggressive move for Benjamin, with the big-bodied receiver meant to add a new dimension to the Bills passing attack. It hasn’t played out that way. If anything highlighted this it was with the Bills in a goal-to-go situation, twice throwing to Benjamin in the end zone and the physical receiver not only unable to haul either in, but also getting called for an offensive pass interference penalty that put Buffalo in a position they were never likely to score from. If Benjamin wants to be the top guy in Buffalo, for whoever is throwing, he’ll need to be far more productive next year.

LB LORENZO ALEXANDER83.4 OVERALL GRADE

Alexander was a man possessed in this game for the Bills, single-handedly trying to keep the Jags off the scoreboard at times. His six stops were a season high, his most since Week 5 last season against the Rams, and his goal-line stop on a leaping Leonard Fournette deserved more than setting up the Jags’ game-winning touchdown on fourth and goal. Alexander added a tackle for a loss on the Jags’ final meaningful drive as well, giving the Bills’ offense opportunities whenever he could.

DE JERRY HUGHES78.9 OVERALL GRADE

Brown added 3 stops to his season total today, taking it to 46 for the entire 2017 season, just one shy of his career high set last season. Brown let up 30 yards in coverage for the 10th time this season but in such a run-heavy game his play against the run came to the fore. Unfortunately for the Bills all their hard work in run defense — holding Leonard Fournette under 3 yards per carry — was for naught.

If you listen to the whole interview , he really didn't take a jab. Qualified it by pointing out there was a play he lobbied for and when they ran it was unsuccessful . So he said he " gets it". It's only if taken out of context that it could be considered a jab. He shot straight from the hip and I liked his interview.

The Bills' defense played their hearts out. I was impressed by their energy and tenacity. It tells me that McDermott must be doing something right.

 

I feel bad for them all, but they should be proud of themselves. 

 

The offense needs work.

Agreed. This was one of the most frustrating games I have watched. Unfortunately, it happened during the playoffs. The swing of emotions in the last 24 hours has been crazy.
