Success Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'd like to agree - but after next week, we face the #1 seed in the AFC, and a coach that has won many, many games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention our entire OL sucks Almost every TV in game analysis of the Bills O-Line brings up communication. While many of you have continuously roasted the guards, and with good reason, I keep saying Morse is also a weak link. The center, with help from the QB, is supposed to call out the blocking assignments at the line. If they’re continuing to have communication issues, Morse is a big part of the problem. Also, maybe the O-Line collectively is just dumb. Teams have been running these stunts all season, opponents see it on film and these guys still keep screwing it up. Darryl Williams seems to be a key culprit as several times I’ve seen him by himself looking for someone to block while 2 defenders have steamrolled one of his line mates and are in Josh’s grill. Furthermore, if the O-Line coaches aren’t getting thru to these guys, they’re another problem and maybe the players need a new voice. With basically the same personnel as last season, I don’t understand how these guys regressed this much. I’ve said before, there were numerous times last season when Josh had an unbelievable amount of time in the pocket, for which I played the plays back and he had 7 to 9 seconds. This season we frequently see Josh take his drop and there’s already somebody there he has to evade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I’m not getting my hopes up about anything anymore. I see the positives in what Allen is doing, understand the refs ridiculous call, non call, but we lost. Just like we lost to every other winning team except KC. So even if we make the playoffs, I don’t know anyone who thinks we can win even one playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give up the second fewest yards in the NFL. The key to this game is the Bills D making Newton and their Offense look pathetic and getting TO. the second Key is making sure Allen doesn’t get any more hurt than he already is.

Can’t run the ball, can’t protect against the run and today, can’t protect against the pass. Somehow, this feels worse than the drought. To think we were thinking about the Super Bowl a month ago.

I don't think the Bills would get embarrassed but I am not confident in a playoff run to the Super Bowl either. With that said give me the playoffs. Get in the tournament and take your chances. Going thru 17 straight seasons of no playoffs was terrible. Give me Bills football on WC weekend. Besides playoffs or not we aren't drafting in the top 10 so might as well root for the playoffs and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racketmaster Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm not sure how this team beats NE, especially with Allen being beat up. They lack toughness and get pushed around on both sides of the ball. If we don't get up early the opposing teams can stick with the run and maintain possession and keep ball away from offense. We can beat Panthers, Falcons and Jets but we did lose to the Jags so who knows. 10-7, maybe that gets you in but this team is not going anywhere this year as constructed. Even if they make the playoffs, they will be road games against good teams. We can matchup against the Bengals, Chargers and NE is not very talented so maybe them as well. KC was a good matchup but they have rebuilt their defensive front and are playing good defense and have focused on running the ball, which they can do. I just can't see the Bills beating KC, TN, or Colts on the road and then having to do it again the next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The only game we weren't in this year was the game against Indy. They walloped us. The difference against Pittsburgh was a blocked punt returned for a TD. We know what happened against Jacksonville. A fluke 4th down slip by Josh cost us against Tennessee. If we cash in on any number of opportunities against NE we win that game (dropped TD passes, Bass misses a FG). Last night Josh did everything he possibly could to get us back into the game against Tampa. The refs still love Tommy Boy and the defense did step up when they needed to.
