Obviously I mean today. Though the alarm bells have been sounding on O for a while. Great play from Josh and Cook in particular has masked it.

They’re an offense that’s better than last seasons but sometimes gets in its own way with poor decisions from players and coaches, and yet is still good for 30 every game

Allen is gonna try hero ball in 2nd half- it’s not going to go well.  We are paper champs.  

Lol, how did that work out against Baltimore?????, ummmm in case you didnt notice McDermott ball is doing squat

It saved the bills 4 points likely…pats didn’t want to get held to a fg and give Josh the ball back so they wasted a first down play 

Also made meathead run the clock down to 18 seconds before taking his timeout. Pats had 1st and goal from the 1 but ran out of time.

Really?  Players were the ones making boneheaded errors and turnovers. 

I tried saying that to him as well.  Someone pissed in his Cheerios

Now I gotta watch how great Darnold and Mayfield are

Maybe we will gut out a 15-12 win and Beane can go back on WGR 

It’s insane!! The sheep defended it all offseason. They’re horrible and it hasn’t mattered yet. It may not matter today either. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. To this point they’ve been a nightmare

One day people will wake up and see how horrible these coaches are. If not for Josh Allen bean and mcstupid would have been gone long ago. 

 

Name me a coach who keeps his job longer than three years without a QB.

 

Go ahead I’ll wait

gotta turn your head there, period

Nope, face guarding is no longer a flag. Tre didn’t contact Diggs, his defense was fine. Bad flag.

there are positional coaches for a reason.   plus he has an oc to yell at

 

they are McD "scapegoats" for his continual underperformance

Not in this case. It’s mostly unforced errors getting us behind the sticks. And turnovers. 

a handoff to Knox, choosing to throw to these WRs this week…

Pfffttttttt doesn't matter. What an insane tske after watching our WRs for years, not be enough... no outside threat. No intermediate threat... absolutely ZEROOOOO deep threat.

 

Defenses stack the box... crowd the line and dare JOSH FN ALLEN to beat them with his arm.

 

^^^Read that sentence again^^^

 

Dare JOSH FN ALLEN to beat them with his arm. Absolutely ridiculous to become this 1-D, handcuff the greatest QB ive ever seen in my life

 

He only became that QB because we installed an offense that asked him to take less risks. We had the second best offense coming into this game. Our weakness is typically playoff defense, sorry adding Metcalf to me not going to help our defense.

I think the game plan is fine, but the penalties and two turnovers -- OMG.

Exactly, the Bills have moved the ball but they can't keep beating the the Pats and the refs

It was.   46 secs.  Stop them on the next play, take last TO.  You get the ball back with approximately 30 seconds.  Plenty of time to get into FG range.  

They could also kill the clock with 46 seconds.

 

but then they got a first down, and we still called another time out! We definitely were not getting the ball back after that! And it gave them multiple shots at the end zone! 
 

there’s also a “read the room” aspect of this.  It’s 3-3 and our O is freaking terrible, be happy with going into half tied or down 3. 

[Utah John]

The defense is for once not playing all that bad.  The offense kicked out two turnovers and the Pats have only two FGs.  The Pats have some good talent on offense.

It can get worse. We can score no points. 
 

but yes. I’d expect us to make some adjustments. Although we’ve been a pretty poor 3rd quarter team this year

Can someone explain the Tre penalty to me?  Seemed like minimal contact.

We were never paper anything. Fans knew this WR room was balls. And it has shown all season so far. 

OL play calling and penalties..WR need to play better as does all of O and Brady on play calls. 4 and 17 need to lead the O in the 2nd half. Cut the cute stuff.

I guess I must be talking about a different play
