Draconator Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm drinking. As good of a time as any to drink. Not because of the game, but for all the doom and gloom comments. The Bills need to improve, no question. But to think this isn't a playoff team, and calls to fire McDermott or Beane is just stupid *****. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop putting it all on josh. Give that 2019 offense Diggs and Knox and a much better Josh Allen and that team kills this one. Forget last year.

I don't really get it, and I can't say it would be better with someone else, but there are enough red flags that I'm about ready to see somebody else run the offense.

Motor26 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 If Edmunds had been available you’d have to hope that Frazier would have played a lot more 4-3 base to stop the run. Wentz’s arm wasn’t going to threaten the Bills at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have cut them up with a million passes to Beasley, but tried to force too much down field. This is the best take on the game I've read so far. Admirably succinct, too. The first and third points are worrisome. I just hope Star and Edmunds can make up the gulf between their offense and our defense. And Allen refusing to play the Tom Brady role of short passes, being patient, has lost them at least two games so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The Afterglow: 1. The post mortem of this season when all is said, done and written, is that the Bills D line lacks a disruptive force. A game changing player. 2. Taylor was the man. 3. The Mckenzie fumble and subsequent freebie TD for the Colts sealed the game. 4. Picking on Ford for just a minute, that false start wiped away a sure first down. The subsequent holding and missed FG only confirmed what you could feel. This was not going to be the Bills day today. 5. Days like today really highlight the fact that you need a real running game. 6. NE is in first, but a win Thursday and the following Monday can right the ship. 7. Glad I didn't have to sit through that weather today. 8. Bad penalties are really hurting this team. 9. Wentz really likes playing in Buffalo.. Apparently.. 😞 10. Knox had a, good day -- bad day, kind of game 11. I was hoping around mad in the first half. I was just resigned to the defeat in the second half and had zero emotion. I guess I was emulating my Team's play. No emotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Officially sound the alarm bells. Panic mode is very close if Bills lose another game. Allen does not look very good way too often. I know it’s tough to admit and we can throw out stats to say otherwise. But watch the film of this year vs the last half of last season. We are soft. We get out hit. We lack toughness. We are undisciplined. Penalties and mental mistakes. Wallace gets picked on. Again, people will say he is not that bad. But in key plays he is always the target. The bills knew this and failed to address. Our pass rush still sucks after a ton of resources. Tried to address but failed. OL is bad. Again, failed to address. May want to deny, but this season is teetering on disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 50 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I had that question about the Colts game - I thought it might have been better to pull Johnson and play our 4-3 base. But with Edmunds out it has to be asked if Klein at MLB and Dodson for Johnson would be a talent drop Definitely needed more players in the box than two LBs plus Poyer. By the time we did adjust to that we made mental errors in other phases of the game. Turnovers, penalties, drops …. The special teams fumble put us away. We had a few people out and no one stepped up. No one made a timely play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 THIS is why the Jags game hurts so much. The team never should have lost that - too careless, too self-absorbed. They bought their own hype and took some games too casually. Now, it's almost must-win the rest of the way. Very little margin for error - during the toughest part of our schedule. I still believe they can morph into the team they were after the Hail Murray last year - but it certainly won't shock me if they don't, and if this is what we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delirious Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I get really upset when we hear how Coach is Mr. Process and detail oriented, but yet the Bills are consistently committing tons of penalties every week. It's so sad after every big play I have to hold my breath because of a flag. And part of that is on the crap refs, but our team is consistently committing a lot of penalties.
