MILFHUNTER#518 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 They allowed 14 total points. The defense is NOT the problem. Our 1 dimensional (total lack of run game) offense is the problem. The fact that this administration has fielded this 1 dimensional offense, with zero ability to adapt is certainly not fair to the rest of the team, especially the defense as they are super bowl caliber. The defense should be frustrated as they definitely deserve better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I dont blame the D either, Poyer and Hyde have been the heart and soul of this D for a long time. A special team play gave the O a 13 yard field that led to our TD, other than than the offense really let this team down. Not being able to convert short yardage killed this team this year. Think the end of the Titans game and the fact we had first and goal from the 7 and couldnt get it done.

SirAndrew Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The offense had a terrible game, but if you think we played good defense, you’re simplifying the game of football. Being unable to stop the run allows the other team to control the clock. We had fewer opportunities on offense because we couldn’t get of the field. Our defense was actually historically awful last night, if you consider how many times the Pats threw. That doesn’t happen in the NFL. It doesn’t matter we held them to 14. I’ve seen college games where running teams score just 20 points without punting. Our offense was bad, but the Pats controlled the game because we couldn’t stop the run. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allowed over 200 rushing yards and allowed the pats to move the ball and keep the Bills offense off of the field when we had the wind So you're cool with going 1 for 4 in the red zone?

Also let’s face it the Bills were gifted the FG as well by that horrible personal foul call. (Pushing Allen out of bounds when he leaped in the air.) . That’s at least twice I’ve seen you complain about that call. The player himself was already out of bounds when he shoved Allen, and I haven’t seen you mention the two times in the first half when the Pats committed textbook RTP penalties by landing with their full weight on Allen and got away with both.

First I wasn’t complaining here, I was showing how both sides can do the what if game. Second Bryant was nowhere close being out of bounds and even Allen himself was acting like he was in bounds with the leap and stretch for the first down. I have no idea what your seeing. As for ruffing the Passer I saw ONE that could have been landing with his weight on him but it’s a judgement call and it didn’t go your way.

BillsFan692 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Allen has had a rough season IMO worse then last year.

Comparable games would be Ravens playoff game and the Colts snow game. 14 points is the most scored by any offense in those 3 games. Clearly the weather conditions significantly favored the running game. Pats stopped our run game and we couldn't stop theirs. BB made the Bills throw the ball. He won the chess game. The sad part in all of it is that we knew the Pats were going to run the ball. They were going to continue to run the ball until we stopped it. We couldn't, for the most part. As in most games this year, our offense had to rely way too much on Allen. That makes things much easier to defend. It's so extremely frustrating to not be able to pick up short yardage with the run. I chuckled two times last night when the announcers commented that we fooled the Pats by throwing the ball on a 3rd and 2. No sir, we have to throw the ball in those situations. We lose the LOS every single time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 If a team decided to run the ball 45 times in a game, what would a "good" defensive performance look like? <120 yards and 7 points? I mean how much lower can the bar be for our offense? They got two amazing drive starts in the first half and botched that, and frittered away the last two drives as soon as they got into the Red Zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
