CincyBillsFan Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I have officially joined the Bean/McD skeptic crowd. Sure they have lifted Buffalo from being a total disaster into a competitive team but their miscues going into this season have been noticeable. Tonight we lost because our team is not built to win in Buffalo or to compete with the Pats. And whose fault is that? Bill's management. During the off season we signed a clever vet WR who ran good routes while ignoring the O-line, TE and RB. We threw all our resources and draft capital at fixing the D-line and look what we got, a line that could not stop the run when we knew they were going to run. IMO Allen, who is even better then we think, has hid a host of problems on the offense and in the coordinator's room. I'm still hoping this team can claw it's way into the playoffs for continuity's sake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, The Frankish Reich said: That happens with 10 men in the box. You break through that first layer and you're gone. The question is why we needed 10 in the box to stop the run, and why 10 in the box didn't even get that done. Pathetic DL and interior linebacking play, and a ridiculous stubbornness on the part of Frazier not to change his personnel on the field in response to what the Pats were doing (running 100% of the time) or not doing (passing, ever, when going against the wind) Should not have happened and put them at a disadvantage the rest of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Game reminds me of the Jacksonville loss in that this was an extremely winnable game. We had all day to make a few plays, put it in the end zone, and go ahead on the scoreboard. Just couldn't do it. Coaching, execution, play calling strategy, and the wind all played major roles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, TwistofFate said: Offensive line is the weakest link. That can't open holes in the run game, can't handle pressure, and really can't out bully anyone. The greatest offensive flaw is having zero run game to speak of. We just lost to a team that threw 3 passes all game....let that sink in. When you’re o line is small you run a lot of traps, counters and zone. Anthony Lynn was great at scheming that up. Daboll is terrible at it and has forced us to be one dimensional 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopey Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Close game by two good teams. If I'm playing the blame game, it's certainly not Daboll. We should have scored at least 10 more points. Diggs drops a difficult pass for a TD, but it was there. Knox?!? And that missed FG attempt was fine. It was manageable and if it goes in, we only need a FG to win it. This is on the players not executing when the opportunity presented itself. Coaches put them in position to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsabillsfanz Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I read comments but rarely post, but I just had to post after this game. Buffalo must get a good RB, actually 2 good RBs. Moss had an easy walk in TD if he had any vision to cut to the right. Josh Allen played a great game, especially in these conditions and he just didn’t get enough help. Way too many dropped passes. With the conditions tonight, it’s amazing that drops were an even bigger problem than the wind blowing the ball around. Edmonds isn’t a first round level LB. I wouldn’t re sign him. Belichick won with 3 pass attempts…sad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I am officially ready to say goodbye to Brian Daboll. you Drafted a Big Armed Big Hand QB for these games. Not to mention one with athletic running ability. And refused to run him or let him use that arm. Time to move on from you Brian.

cale Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 This franchise sticks its head in the sand. A 10 year old could see how we can't run and can't stop the run.

HomeTeam Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Say what you want, but nothing the patriots did impressed me tonight. Such a winnable game. My only hope is that we can make the playoffs and go on a run. The AFC is wide open this year. This team does have some issues in the interior lines. Hopefully those can get addressed in the off season. One thing that I seek solace in is that we have Josh Allen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 What is preventing the patriots from basically just running this exact same gameplan against us in 3 weeks?

UKBillFan Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Is anyone surprised? Really? The Jags and Colts games should have been enough to say we’re nowhere near good enough. If we’re lucky we go 10-7; don’t know if that will be enough for the Play Offs and, if it isn’t, maybe it’ll be a wake up call the franchise needs.

HappyDays Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: We are going to continue having redzone problems without any threat of a run game. There is absolutely zero holes to run through. On Moss's run at the 6 I think Breida or Singletary could have scored. Daboll does not understand his personnel. He is like many coaches that just calls "his plays" regardless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
