That was a good W against a tough Panthers D, no need to downplay it.

 

I liked Dabol’s game plan. He started with short passes (which Josh was off on), then mixed in enough running game that didn’t just keep Carolina honest, it provided needed yards and first downs. That in turn opened up the intermediate game and play action game. That’s the exact type of game plan we need against NE.

 

Josh was solid. Yeah the pick was awful and he held onto it a few times but to expect a perfect game with our horrendous offensive line (and although they played better in the second half they sucked) is ridiculous. When he had a few seconds you saw passes like the first of Gabe’s 2 TDs. 

 

I didn’t like us getting the calls in this game because I think that just means we are getting screwed in Gillette, but that may just be 2 decades of dominance by the biggest bandwagon fan franchise in sports history, the Hartford Patriots, speaking.

Weren’t getting calls in Foxboro anyway... gladly took the calls today. Definitely got away with a few holds on Offense maybe a DPI or 2

Bottom line is if the Bengals win today the Bills are on the outside looking in.  Gotta beat the Pats and win out for the 3rd seed.  Lose to the Pats and win out you get the 7th seed with some help.

 

Have to hope the Bengals lose as much as possible.

Pretty sure if the Ravens or Browns lose we'll still hold that 7th seed.

Bengals have a tough schedule coming up and week to week fluctuations are still going to happen. Still a great chance for the Bills either way.

Good win, the game was tougher than the score indicates 

 

Allen had a strong game considering the pass blocking was mostly below average. 
Singletary gets a game ball. So does Gabe Davis. 
 

We need Dawkins back.  I felt bad for Brown getting tossed into LT on 2 days notice. 

Pats* will be tougher for sure.  
 

I expect Daboll to do more next week to diversify the offense and help the pass protection by use of TE on edge and RB in backfield.  BB is watching. 
 

Overall, a much needed win under tough circumstances.

Not so fussed about the number of yards. That interception was daft and there seemed to be communication issues between him and the other WRs at times. It happens; people are allowed to say Josh wasn't at his best (and it says a lot that he wasn't and still threw for three TDs) without being drawn into a disagreement all the time. He's human - like everyone he'll be better in some games than others.

True but he has to be better next week.

I think the PI on Wallace was weak.  Then there was one I thought Wallace should have gotten but didn't.  Unless I missed something I thought the roughing the passer on Josh getting pushed out of bounds was a bad call.  Over all I liked the refs today.  Missed some stuff.  Made some bad calls but IMO it was pretty even and that's all I ask of refs.  Call the stuff both ways.  Unlike the Tampa game getting PI after PI while our WR was mugged and one PI should have been offensive PI.

As the kids say, the division is back on the menu.

 

I am STOKED for the game next week.  When was the last time we had such a consequential division game so late in the season?  And to have a chance to actually take it on the field, from the Patriots.

 

They can do it. The D is playing great. Dane Jackson is proving to be very capable.  Singletary is running well. Allen had good protection for large portions of the game today.

 

It's all there in front of us - everything we expected for this season.  We took a bigger detour than expected, but it's all still there.

 

eh, Last  year

Milano had a very poor game overall. Bad angles and a couple of bad whiffs for him today.

nah had a lot of pass break ups and sure fire open field tackling, keep trying edmunds homer

Edmunds was no better than Milano.

I found it very tough to watch at times. They do have a very good defense and our OL was a wreck but still… I’ll take the dub and move on 

It felt like I was watching two bad teams play. Certainly not a playoff team. Next week the Bills have to be a lot better.

If Bengals win and Raiders win we are still 7 seed.

After today Bengals still

have the Chiefs, Ravens, and Browns left on their schedule. Not worried about them at all, especially since they have lost 4 of their last 6

Thought it was weak as well. Too close to LOS. They talked about it and still blew the call.

I disagree. His play was mediocre at best. Perhaps it was his injury? The Bills need a way better version of Allen to win vs quality teams. 

You had lousy takes all day, wouldn’t expect it to change now either…

Haters seize on every opportunity. They still haven't let go of Rosen. 

I don't really see Josh criticism as hate. Much of it is valid and he should be held at a high standard. Franchise QBs don't get a lot of wiggle room to play poorly. It comes with the territory. But yes he's human and the fans shouldn't expect perfection every game.

Scoreboard watching gives us something to do, I guess, but win out and we win the division.  Lose any of them and it’ll be hard to get in.

Hopefully the oline, which is subpar to begin with, gets their LT and Mongo back. You, Ethan in Portland (who prophesied an epic loss and McD on the verge of being fired), and Gene1973 are among the most persistently negative posters on this board. The Bills have disappointed, partly through miscalculations in roster construction, but also because they've had some ill luck and egregious officiating that have contributed to their mediocre record. None of that makes them a bad team.
