Give me a break. We're still 6-4. 

The team has lost 3 of its last 4. We haven’t beaten a team with a winning record except for KC when it was in a slump. We haven’t beaten a team with a good starting veteran quarterback except for Patrick Mahomes when he was in a slump.

Every team in the competition knows how to beat us. We are no closer to being able to consistently stop the run than we were in 2019.

Alvin Kamara should be back for NO. on Thursday. We match up extremely badly against the Patriots team and even worse against their coaches; and we face Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette towards the business end of the season. And AB and Gronk should be back.

More than that, the team showed nothing today. The enthusiasm seems to be missing on the sideline. Josh is playing inconsistently and throwing intercepts. There is already Covid in the building and in the community and we are reportedly one of the least vaccinated teams in the competition. 
Hopefully, all this can be turned around but the trend is not good.

Defense needs a rethink. We cannot stop the run against quality teams. I trust that McDermott and Fraiser can mae the necessary adjustments so we can be sucessful against quality teams.


We don’t have quality defensive line depth.  Star being out made a huge difference. No pressure on Wentz and Taylor destroyed us.  
 

I hope they can make changes that make a difference, just not sure we have the depth players on defense to do so.

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. It's been this way since he started here.


It also seems that Mr. Process would be doing whatever he could to ensure that his most important players are available to play. “Respecting their decisions,” how’s that working out for ya, Coach?

The Steelers game was a wakeup call.

The Titans game was a wakeup call,

The Jax game was a wakeup call... we here this after every loss this season. Wakeup call, learning experience, blah blah blah

I mean I usually hit snooze on my alarms at least three times...😂

This is the first loss that makes me question the rest of the season.   This Bills team is underachieving.  They are the same team as last year with some added depth, but they are suddenly looking a like a wild card team at best.  The first three losses brought up concerns, this last one was flat out embarrassing. 

 

It has been very hard to watch football this year even before the Bills started floundering.   Refs are worse than ever with flags every other play, conference after conference between plays, flags thrown and picked up, two refs making different calls on the same play and no consistency.   Commercials seem to be more than before, and announcers just focus on one or two "fun fact" storylines(ex Josh Allen vs Josh Allen) and repeat the same corny ass one liners dozens of times. 

 

Yes, Buffalo can beat the Saints on Thursday, yes, a win against New England in two weeks, gives them momentum again, but it is suddenly not a guarantee.    I hope that Buffalo will turn it around and will watch until they can't anymore, but if they fall out of it, I may be done with watching the NFL for this year.

Truth. He hasn’t been making the best decisions, looks almost rookieish since the bye. 

Double amen.....listen the smartest QB ever Josh....Peyton Manning on this years MNF....nobody ever went broke taking a profit.   If thats what the D is giving you, you take it.    And you keep taking it until they change.

Nobody played well except Diggs and Sanders. They both made all the plays that went their way.

 

Oline was also better than expected. The defense and McKenzie’s fumble lost this game. That McKenzie fumble might be the worst play I have ever seen.

 

I'm still going with this one:

This is not accurate. We've been run on worse and team has bounced back. Did u see Chiefs regular season game last year?

 

We had a solid record versus rushing teams last year. 

 

Look 6-4 games versus Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Jets. Games we should be favored. Honestly next week is huge, and Bills should win. 

 

This gets us 10 wins. Split versus Pats likely gets us 11 wins, and we roll the dice with Tampa. 

 

Keep in mind down best run stuffer and OL.

Allen was not the problem.  Sure, he had a bad pick after penalties turned a sure first down into 3rd and 18.  
 

How many drops?  I counted 5 in a row in the 3Q alone.  

The blocking is terrible.  We cannot function with 2 OL injured. We have no backups.  


Josh had a bad game.  First couple of drives he misfired a few times and generally looked out of sorts.  Had a couple of drops also.  One or two plays he fired the ball in too hard for the weather.

 

Was it the putrid oline?  Can’t just blame them.  Josh had time on some plays and overthrew, whiffed or didn’t have the right touch.

Perhaps but we can’t assume they will win those winnable games. Everyone thought they would beat the Jags before that game happened.  Something is not right with this team but hopefully they can figure it out.

Of course Brown isn’t vaxxed. Look what he re-tweets. Respecting his decision to be selfish on a team that preaches “process” oxymoronic.
 

Sorry if this sounds political, most pointing out coaches’ hypocrisy.

In fairness saying anything else would have been counterproductive.
