As always Virg- thats a wrap!  Good job as always....

 

Nice overview.....personally I think the whole loss boils down to one incident.  It happened before the game started.  Josh Norman.


Don’t get me started. I’ll get banned

i feel bad for the DB’s at the end. That’s gotta be embarrassing on some level with your peers.  and there are already internet memes showing Hopkins’ catch and making our guys look weak.  this after all the Nosh Norman memes w/ Derrick Henry.  I know it doesn’t mean much in the scheme of life but i just feel bad for em.

I’ll disagree with 2 bad INTs. Some might disagree with me, but Davis ran a brutal route on that 2nd pick. He got loose and sloppy and let Kirkpatrick beat him to the inside.

 

Other than that, great stuff as per usual.

 

Allen's ball placement on that throw was terrible. If he threw it out in front of Davis it is a long catch and run because Kirkpatrick was going for the INT and likely whiffs on the tackle.

 

Allen threw it slightly behind Davis which gave Kirkpatrick time to catch up to it. A good throw and its a completed pass and a long gain.

Is it me or has Singletary been a shell of himself this season? Last season he was dynamic making plays left and right and in the playoffs he was our best player IMO. He has lacked any play making ability this season and I can’t even remember a major play he has made. Maybe my brain is just fried or I had too high of expectations, but he has felt like a non factor to an bad extent

I'll take the split of the Seahawks and Cards games and move on.   Josh and the whole team looked pretty bad today and still almost stole the game.   

 

Bring on the bye week.   Finally.   That team needs it.  


That’s what I told myself too.  It’s the way we lost that hurts

Singletarys best play today was negated by Knox's penalty.  Knox had a terrible game.

Yeah but look at the way they won against the Rams.   No way that game should have been a W.   What goes around comes around, I guess.  7-3 , 4-0 in the division, come out of the bye with a bunch of winnable games.  I'm good.

Nice work Virgil, don't let the trolls get to you, that's what they are hoping for.

A few comments on Knox might be needed. Another dumb penalty. I'm not sure we have anyone better athletically at TE but mentally he just doesn't seem ready.

 

This one will sting for a bit but on to the bye week. Get Healthy!

I don’t feel bad for them.  All 3 of those guys are amongst the highest paid at their positions, especially White.  Can’t let Hopkins catch that ball. Embarrassing.

This Bills' defense gives up the outside nearly every single play.

Every inside move is bit on.

Countless plays today, including the hail mary were made by the Cardinals getting outside.

 

We are simply incapable on setting the edge or in any way defending the outside, and the inside isn't that great either.

 

On the one play where Edmunds set the edge and Epenesa tackled Murray from behind for only a 3-yard gain, a lot of people were down on Edmunds for "missing the tackle".

Hard to make plays when you are constantly dodging players in the backfield...our run blocking has been atrocious for the most part.

3 Misc. - It was clear that CBS created a lot of graphics to ball-wash Murray as the MVP.  Why CBS would pimp an NFC team is beyond me, but they did it. 

 

In hindsight, McD should not have called the TO before the last play, he should have let the pressure settle in on the Cards instead of relieving it by calling the TO.  He took all the pressure off the Cards to get the play run on time.

Thanks for the sensible and even keeled take.  The game day thread was horrific again today.  You would think this team is 0-10.

i normally don't read the game day thread. Bills have a lot of ridiculous fans.

That Singletary penalty was terrible. I get calling the crack back. No argument there. But to say it was dead ball which makes it 3rd and a mile. I don’t get that. 
At least if it was second down we can pick up a chunk and maybe have a shot. 
Terrible call

 

 

Overall tho penalties killed anything we had going in that third quarter. 

On the replay, the ball had actually hit the ground before he made the hit. Tough but fair call. Stupid play by singletary.
