Why? The NFL wants parity as the more teams in contention the better for the league.

To hell with what the NFL wants

Last week Atlanta and Jacksonville looked tired and sloppy.

 

This week Buffalo looks sloppy. You can't tell me the Jags getting an extra week in London isn't a HUGE advantage. Throw in the flags and injuries and this is almost an unfair advantage. Complete BS.

It is an unfair advantage.

This team is just really off today and I can't help thinking it's due to crazy travel and time difference.

 

NFL experiment with having a team waiting in London two weeks in a row will be over after this game.

Well Jacksonville is basically the Ambassador for London so what better way to improve their standing than to beat the up and coming bills after they've been so hot

[Shortchaz]

The defense is going to have to generate turnovers if we’re going to win. The offense is not going to win this game 

[Billsfan4588]

Every Dorsey play call seemingly plays directly into the Jax defensive play call. At the very least josh hasn't forced anything stupid....yet

Dorsey didn't like what was working the past 3 weeks. Went back to the Week 1 game plan.

possibly the Jags D might be better

Might be time to get under center and run play action more, since that seems to work every single time we do it. 

Problem is for PA to work you have to be running the ball well. We aren't.

Later dude.  Your headstone will read “did not read the rule book”

We've all known thats not a catch since we were 4.  The 'new' rule book lies

[JaCrispy]

Jags are so happy Bills aren’t playing under center

[Scott7975]

Sorry but I'd rather see Sugar High Josh than this dink and dink pass and shotgun handoff bull crap.  Let Josh cook.

[CircleTheWagons99]

Whats a slant route?

Jags simply put have our number.

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

Can we get a Milano update 

[Dr.Sack]

This is a game where you need someone on the defense to make a game changing or wake-up moment play.

Absolute joke

Why are they even playing games over there? Who gives a hoot about fans in England? As if the NFL needs more of a worldwide fan base.

This offense needs a GPS to find the first down marker, 50 yard line, RZ and end zone.  

 

This is making me sad. Jacksonville's D is not very good. Regardless of our defensive situation our offense shouldn't be this clueless. 

Are you on the Bills staff?  “Our offense” 

[buffalo2218]

Dorsey appears to be handcuffing Allen

[Motorin']

Just now, Steptide said:

Need to start throwing deeper. Jags are obviously on to the dink and dunk offense. Also stop tossing it to cook

 

No dude. Josh is dinking and dunking bc they are lining up in a spread offense every play and they are taking the receivers away.

 

They need to line up under center, establish the line of scrimmage, pull 8 into the box. THEN they can throw down field.

Chad Hall knows the playbook?

This is a great point that I haven't seen mentioned

[BernieBill]

Dorsey killed the drive ... down field passes work against Jax ... James Cook runs and bad screen plays don't

Refs suck, jet lag, Milano injury, blah

blah blah

 

The excuses will be flowing uncontrollably tomorrow.  
 

Bottom line…in games where your defense is hurting, Josh and the offense need to rise to the occasion.  Instead the offense looks just like they did in the 9-6 game.  

Yes.  Offense is non existent.  They have done nothing so far.

is there a reason Dorsey refuses to put Allen under center this game?

Why use play action when it's so successful? Surprise the Jags with an ineffective scheme, that'll screw them up. 

[Ralonzo]

Tremendous by Taron to knife through that wall of blockers and wrap up

I hate when we play Jacksonville…

 

I just hate Jaxonville and that overrated Prince Valium at QB.  Wait, I hate Coach Head Visor too.

 

And I HATE watching Zay Jones catch passes against us.  That chump couldn't catch a cold when he played here.

Nice job sniffing out that WR screen.

No reason to lineup under center when you can go shotgun 98% of the time and telegraph exactly what the play is. 

It's a total beat down.

For the 43rd time this year, Allen airmails the RB 7 yards away from him forcing to run from a flat footed stance.  Stop calling that play.  Allen can’t do it.

Oddly enough instead throwing it directly to the Jags defender or trying to throw it through him he opted to toss it over him which yeah slowed it down.

[Livinginthepast]

This is why the EPL or La Liga soccer dont have regular season games on other continents . Gimmicky and stupid with Jet lagged players sleepwalking.

[sven233]

Look, there is a long way to go in the game, and maybe we get things righted and figured out.  But this is insane.  We look totally unprepared, but you know what?  I don't even blame the players or coaches.  I mean, how can you be prepared for everything you are put through physically and emotionally with a trip like this?  On top of that, you are expected to get and learn a game plan together. 

 

It's one thing if 2 teams are going through the same thing at the same time.  That's why these London games are usually terrible....you have 2 teams totally unprepared.  But in this case, the Jags had a clear advantage by being there for 2 weeks.  In a league there is such a fine line between winning and losing, this isn't a fair fight.

[BBFL]

This is rough. 😞

Didn't hate the screen call.......

 

It was a piss poor throw 

Oh forget the 5 guys in Josh’s face

[Xwnyer]

Greta play call second and 1 a sweep when ya need a damn drive

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

This short handed defense is going to need to make a huge play.

So can be have your ever traveled 

Been to Europe multiple times. Thanks for asking. 

[MikePJ76]

This sucks. I cant believe White gets hurt with a 20 point lead and now milano is gone for the year right at the start of the game.

 

All the energy has drained from the game and you can see it.  They need a pick six, strip sack fumble return or punt return to get things going.

 

also Eisen and Warner are just awful calling the game.

Can’t do it if we’re down by 18

 

Why not? If we keep doing what we're doing we will be down by 32.

[ngbills]

This is awful. Don’t get this game plan. What happens when they go under center? But Dorsey sticks with the gun and letting the jags just send pressure at will. We take the 1-2 yard pass all day...meanwhile Jags getting 10-15 yds at will.

Jags play calling is impressive
