  1. 1. What Was the Primary Reason the Bills Lost?



Recommended Posts

To me the overwheming difference was in line play. We got zero pass rush and Allen had to run for his life. Plus horrible run blocking. Our O-line is pitiful. It wasn't great but solid. Glenn should still be with us. Wood was tragic and years of roids had to catch up with Incognito sooner or later. All three were solid to good players. Huge loss.

I’m going to say it...the Bills win that game if Barkley was at QB

 

 

Based on what?  In a game where the Bills couldn't generate a running game outside of Allen scrambles and on a day when the O-line couldn't pass block we would have won because presumably Barkley would have been more accurate and efficient in checking down to Murphy on 3rd & long?

Man, you can't give up drives like that with the game on the line.  That's not good.

We run on 37.61% of first downs, which is 3rd highest in the league.  I was shocked to see that.

Thanks for looking that up.   Watching it feels like even more.

How many of those runs failed because the WR got beat or took a penalty destroying the run call? Some of it is coaching but the players got dominated physically as well.

I get your point. It's players that are not succeeding in making the play work when it comes to running the ball, but at the same time it's the coaches who keep calling the same play on first down time after time only to see the same results. Yesterday just seemed like first-down was a giveaway and we operated on 2 downs  most of the game.
