Offense - just gave up running the ball, and started firing it deep. The short middle stuff was there. This really pisses me off because TEN was down to scrubs in the defensive backfield and like morons Buffalo goes for the LOW PERCENT deep balls only to see with their own two stupid eyes that that never ever freaking works in the NFL. You complete one or two of those a game no matter how many you throw. Stupid Buffalo should beat the living hell out the corners with skilled routes and high percentage completions. But they shouldn’t have been throwing that much to begin with.

 

Run the damn ball!! Jesus. Run the goddam ball when you’re defense is clueless. Stop abandoning the run. If the there’s a theme with this team it’s that it gets desperate and turns into a Josh Allen bullet contest when patience and sustained drives is totally possible because of superior talent.

 

Defense - pretty awful. Can’t stop the same AJ Brown in route time and time again. Just when I thought Edmunds was playing faster and going, he does this. If he’s a fourth round draft pick, he’s not sticking around this long. Time’s up 49. I’m over his one second delay and lost in coverage ass.

 

ST - zero in the return game. Finally break one and it’s a penalty. Looks like the punter discovered kicking the ball some time tonight, which is nice. Bass is one of the best kickers in the league. But the return game has no impact out there.
 

The NFC did Buffalo some favors this weekend, and Buffalo hand the conference a freebie. The shield showed respect with a Sunday Night, then Monday Night, then bye. Buffalo needed to come away with a win given what was going on out there on the field. 

The running game was not there, at all. Even Josh couldn't run, except on that sack, he had the middle of the field WIDE OPEN. That whole series was just horrid. All we had to do was get a couple of first downs

Ugh this is hard to watch. The way the defense lined up, we convert a sneak here 98/100 times. 

UGHHHH

QB should go straight ahead as soon as the ball is hiked.  Josh danced to his left and then tried to go in.  hard to say what this play was designed to do; maybe Josh off left tackle but Sweeney's block is late.

Off game for Josh but he makes the throws required to be great. When he gets that deer in the headlights look, thats when you worry; but he still performs. 

What the Hell are you talking about, son?? 358 yrds passing, 3 TD passes and he caught a touchdown! 
Off game?? Jesus Christ!

I disagree. We don't know what other teams would have done, but I still think kicking was the right call. But if you don't kick, call a better play. Nobody can cover Diggs or Beasley on a pass play that only needs 1/2 yard. Spread out the WR's and hit one of them.

Hated the call or at least force the refs to review the previous run by Josh. That buys you time to come up with a better 4th down play.

Allen was 34/47 for 353 yards and 3 TD with a fluky INT when his arm was hit as he threw the ball.  Do you watch pro football?  Even the best QB's miss open receivers all the time. 

 

I'll let you in on a little secrete with the way the O line played tonight and in a couple of other games this year only Allen's freakishly good escapability keeps the sack totals relative low. There are a lot of QB's in the NFL not named Allen who would have been sacked 4 or 5 times tonight.

 

 

 

Agree that Allen would be sacked much more behind this OL.  But he did not have his best game tonight.  When under pressure he generally notices those open WR's.  This OL is a disaster.  It was a liability last year, and we did nothing substantial to fix it.   The DL is also a disaster, no sacks on Tanny.

He missed a wide enough open Diggs in the end zone earlier in the game. You can’t do that against good teams. But I don’t blame Josh, I put most of the blame on our Oline and RBs. 

 

'Scuse me.  Did our D get one single solitary stop on the Titans in the 2nd half?  I think that fact may have some applicability when assigning responsibility.

I knew we'd lose if we went for it even though I think it was probably the right call so I wasn't really surprised lol I'm almost happy we tried the sneak because that was the highest percentage play...if we had thrown an incompletion I wouldve lost my mind 

I would have preferred a run pass roll out option. Have a tight end in the end zone.  Leave it in Josh's hands to either run or pass it. Of course if that didn't work Every one would becsayingvwe should have run a QB sneak.

Our OL, DL & RB's were garbage tonight. 

 

 

 

It was striking watching Henry run then our guys - nothing against them they're OK.  And Henry will do that to most.

 

But....we have below average running backs defenses don't respect.  That's why we have had red zone issues - they aren't biting on fakes.  

 

And Knox....I'm just waiting for the broke hand 8 weeks news.

If a 74.5% completion percentage, 375+ yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT is an "off game" for any QB then break out the gold jacket already.

Titans scored on their last 6 possessions, the D game plan was trash.  Going for it on 4th and inches with JA under center was the right call.  Titans got lucky that Allen slipped and the online caved.  

Maybe with 3 timeouts that's is possibly the right call... but the playbook would've been limited, and a TD was far from guaranteed in that situation, especially given the Offenses shortcomings earlier in the game in similar down and distance. 

 

People are acting as if it was goal to go.  He was only picking up another chance or two at a score before potentially still having to settle for a FG, not worth the risk when you factor all that.

 

Also, there is still a 50% chance Buffalo wins the flip, who's to say Titans ever get the chance to see the field???

 

I like Josh and the offense's odds against a depleted Titans defense to go right back out there and score if they had won the flip and got the ball right back...

 

Even if they don't, if I'm McDermott, I still have to have faith in my defense to atleast hold Tennessee to a FG should they win the flip.

I don't think so.  We can't stop Henry or the play action.  Exact same they way they played us last year.  If we continue to sell out on Henry, they just pass right over the top.  

Our "fear " of henry is legit annoying. Most pansy defense play calling i ever seen. Literally sold out hard to stop the run after that 76 yard TD. So what they broke one questionable non call holding... so what dont change your game thats some candy a#$ $#!+

I agree that we can't stop Henry, don't get me started on how I feel about edmunds. But I think any other night josh drops over 40 on that secondary even the healthy dbs. Josh just seemed to miss alot of plays he usually hits.

Man, this place is a wasteland following a tough Bills loss.
 

Allen was clearly not the reason for the loss. It’s unfathomable that some folks see it otherwise.
