They had more time between games than usual... Not an excuse as they should have been way better than this but... they did prepare for two teams at once and are down 3 of their top defenders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They figured Allen would make a mistake, and their offense would take care of the rest. Exactly what happened. I'm not just referring to long passes. I mean open up the QB runs, the crazy rollouts and throws, hell even the ones where he knocks guys over. So he makes a mistake... conservative play is a loser when you are down 18. He made a mistake anyhow even with a dink and dunk plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they got down 28-10, it should have been time to change plans and go for broke. It felt at first like they were gonna settle down, but after they had success the tempo didn't increase. That's on Daboll and McD. Sure the D sucked and needed a breather, but without points they're cannon fodder anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generally didn't see Tannehill just standing in the pocket. He plays off play action, but the pocket got nicely moved back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guys we pay to get there actually do, these guys are icing. Seems skirting the pass rush issue costs us. The whole D line as a whole has been a disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One TD from a phantom Norman PI (and that WAS phantom), and one from a ticky tack roughing the passer. Didn't see it even out. They had just highlighted AJ Brown there, so I only watched him on that play. AJ slipped on his cut and the ball was uncatchable behind him. I never thought of a call there. Then came the flag. Atrocious. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcash Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So I just watch the games with Antenna... I live downtown and for some reason CBS doesn't come in alot and is very spotty... once the game started came in the whole game no problem... and the postgame show... now as the postgame show is ending it's all spotty again. Do you guys think they turn up the broadcast power during Bill's games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the Bills D actually responded with their best response of the night when the Titans got the INT - they actually held them to a fairly easy 3 and out, except the roughing call. That killed their will. Even down 28 - 10, it was a reasonable play, they had it down 12 with 10 left. That's a pretty reasonable position to be in.

Behindenemylines Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My only hope is that we didn’t want to show too much on offense with KC so close and having to prepare for two teams. Doesn’t excuse the horrendous D or the drops and mistakes. Only the play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ had a nice play tonight (I mean he was unblocked but hey he still made the play), but then jumped on 3rd and 7, which effectively ended the ball game. I don't understand how a kid from Iowa looks so awkward and and raw as a football player. I mean I'm a Penn State fan and he looked pretty good to me in College...but , I don't get him at all. But I think the Bills rather need him to get better/ready in a hurry Nice to see AJ make a play. He made another one before tonight. He might be a good player, but sux he won't be able supplant Murphy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseman3 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Taron Johnson is a major liability and we need to replace him ASAP. Dude just gets shredded every game. Pass rush is also trash. Good night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97bills Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I will say something I love this board no bills fans in Mississippi so coming on here to read all the pissed off info after a beat down and letting off a little steam with other bills fans does help me. Because I am pissed lol but now I’m going to bed put it behind me and get ready for Kansas. PS our LB and DL 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a text to my phone said he was playing tonight. He came in for a cup of coffee at the very end when the game was way out of reach. Did OK. 3/5 for 22 yds. The game was out of hand by then.

Roundybout Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Oh yeah, I'm happy with Addison and Jefferson. They were good pickups. Roberts was a friggin liability tonight. He single-handedly killed our momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the right role he may be just fine. Not gonna poop on Norman yet I agree. He is not meant to be one on one on an island with AB. He seems like a decent depth guy. I give Norman props for not backing down from Henry. Yeah, he got tossed like a rag doll. Most small DBs wouldn’t have even tried to take down Henry there (eg, steph Gilmore). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
