Have we even touched Burroughs behind the LOS?

This team has a real chance to miss the playoffs 

9th place in the AFC after tomorrow. 2-4 AFC record. 2nd hardest remaining schedule in the league. Decimated by injuries. Piss poor coaching.

 

Yeah, we might be in trouble

[stevestojan]

I think we might not be very good. Now that Miami has been shown to be a fraud, we’ve beaten a team who just fired their head coach, the 4-5 commanders, the ***** giants, and the 3-5 Bucs. 

[Billsfanatixs]

All i wanna see is 5 wide and josh running. 

 

why not we have 5 really good receivers?

 

[Billznut]

Bengals always open. Move the sticks with ease. We grind for every inch we can get. 

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

That was good coverage by s

Where are the designed runs with Josh?  He’s their best weapon and just not being utilized 

 

Our offense has no identity.  No methodolgy.  When we're down it's big-play city.  There seems to be absolutely not a shred of thought having gone into clock management at any level.  

 

At some point it becomes difficult to even know what to say about this level of dysfunction.  

 

 

[par73]

Bengal receivers catch the ball even with defenders on them.

[Ralonzo]

Scouting didn't lie, Higgens got no separation on Douglas.

 

Nice read by Poyer there.

[nedboy7]

This game, again, is not on the Defense. 

[BananaB]

Hold

I can't see Terry firing McDermott

He has no stability at the top of his organization right now 

With pse disolving and with terry in over his head with respect to Kim - yeah. We have McChump for the haul

What did this coaching staff do to Allen? He's even afraid to run now.

They have ruined him. They need to go before they do more damage.

How do you expect us to feel? The offense looks lost.

Because Josh goes to work for you, etc...

It's crazy how none our blitzes ever get home

It's the wasted coverage that allows 8 yds every pass

The diff between 2022 and 2023 Allen was right there on that play, 2022 Allen breaks pocket takes a look and runs. 2023 takes a look and another look and hops toward the sideline and looks some more and by the time he finally decides to go the backside pressure is there.

He has about 2 seconds and he needs to either throw it or run.  He's not looking short enough, they're covered past 10 yards, and Josh is patting the ball and taking sacks and throwing into coverage.  

[Nitro]

Poyer is a liability in coverage.

[wppete]

Burrow is a call QB and Josh is always flustered and rushing. Pre snap and post snap.

It established the precedent that the head coach is a choker. Nothing has happened since to change any players minds.

No it’s crazy he keeps calling them

There’s Rousseau! Diving on the runner after he was down!

Man I miss jet sweeps, power josh Allen runs. Beasley over the middle. Josh just doesn't look like josh. 

 

 

I really think tonight it is the coaches' fault. 

[Wayne Arnold]

I think the drought was more fun.

The last five weeks have proven we aren’t that good of a team anymore.

Nah, losing to the Patriots and lucking out against Tampa and the Giants, and this stinker, let me know this isn’t their year and some rebuilding/re-tooling need to happen moving forward.

Probably right.

Right?

 

I don’t mind the live complaint about this call or that call. But this isn’t a team that’s losing because of flags.

 

I am not sure if this is the worst ref’ed game today let alone this season. We’ve gotten some very favorable calls the last few years including this one. 
 

When the league throws/doesn’t throw a flag that costs this team a meaningful game like that no call on DPI with the Rams, I’ll be the first one at the league office with my molotov cocktail. 

 

 

The non call on Davis was just as bad as the one in the Rams game. The non call on the slide tackle was just as bad. The intentional grounding call was way worse considering they threw the flag 30 seconds after the play, talked about it, and rewrote the rule book just to ***** us.

 

Get your Molotov cocktails ready I guess.

When we lost 4 super bowls in a row I didn’t think it could get any worse.  Then the drought happened and I was convinced I had been through the worst 17 years a football fan could go through.  But now I’m watching a trending future hall of fame QB regress and talent be wasted and this somehow feels worse than all of it.

He’s looking like Russell Wilson 2.0

[Aimee75]

I wish we could at least play this team like we play KC, and make it a nailbiter. As it is, they just murder us.

yuuuuup. 
 

we arent setting plays up or sequencing anything 

 

there’s no flow or identity. It’s just throwing stuff against the wall

That's why I miss daboll. He had a scheme and concept. He didn't have the players he needed for it but it was reasonable and could have worked here. He could whisper to Josh, also.

This team sucks. They’ve looked horrible  in every game after they crushed Miami. Hard to imagine this season is salvageable at this point. 

But there’s a bunch of homers in here who think the Bills are losing tonight because the refs are screwing them over. 🤔😂

[Nitro]

Big time defense

[Punch]

I've started Allen, Diggs, Cook, Kincaid and Mixon in fantasy this week but I'll take a defensive TD.

I think there have been a number of posters that have eluded to referring being a major reason we’re losing this gamers 

 

I don’t have much patience for that. It looks to me like the Buffalo Bills are the main reason the Buffalo Bills are losing this game.

Not enough short routes.  Need Fournette

Pass rush does not get there burrow finds open guys all day

2 backers spying Josh and we can't scheme anything open

Kincaid needs to start being the first read. But at the same time josh hasn't shown this year that he will take the easy throws. Just disfunction across the board.
