10/5/2025 GAMEDAY Bills vs Patriots Post Game Thread SNF

[NickelCity]

1) That first half by hochuli was straight up corrupt. He was savvy in the second half to tighten it up. No one will ever talk about the first half

 

2) We didn't play well. And I can't say i'm surprised, vrabel gives us fits. 

 

3) The pats* are solid. I've said all off-season that they're the #2 in the division. Vault me. Diggs went off, he loves playing us. Can't fault them, well played.

Lot of blame to go around.
 

but Josh blew it on that last drive, hunting big plays. Very weird regression. 

It happens every year and it’s why we never get the one seed

The worst part is I’m going to have to listen to the Pat’s fans babbling on all friggin week about this.  
 

embarrassing showing-and burn those uniforms they are forever banned!

The officiating was horrendous. Let’s clear the air with that one. I know the Bills got 2 roughing calls in their favor, but that was so blatant that they have to call those.

 

Even on the last return they made sure to call a hold in case Allen hits a magical 30 yarder out of bounds to get in FG range.

 

They could not get into any flow. Even on the Josh pick in the red zone they had to make up for a 10 yard penalty. Just absolute drive killers left & right. Flame away. 

The refs aren’t to blame.. the pathetic performance is to blame.  Let’s clear the air with that one.

Could you imagine Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady not scoring a TD on that last drive to ice the game.  Josh is fantatsic but the inability of Bills fans to not be able to say anything remotely critical of the guy is insane.

Josh had a bad day for sure

 

Not taking the gimme catches on that lady drive, that INT. 

 

He looked gassed too. I wonder how hot it was on the field. I saw cook leaning against a fan

 

Ironic for our whiteout game we get beach weather

Tre is absolutely done. He's terrible.

 

The front 4 on D simply cannot get pressure. It's a problem that Beane has dumped so many resources into and he just can't get it figured out.

 

Another failure by Beane is the rag tag group of receivers he has put around Josh. No speed or explosion. Imagine having 17 as your QB and not going into every off season asking how to put more around him. 

 

These problems aren't going to solve themselves. The defense is what it is and I doubt Beane swings for the fences to get Josh a legit weapon. 

Same as it ever was.

 

this could be a post from 3 years ago.

 

what a ***** joke lol

Losses happen but this was just an all around bad loss! 
 

Outcoached and outplayed. McDermott, Brady and Babich had zero answers and the entire team struggled executing, Babich continued to let Maye run to his natural right all freakin night. I believe the D had two sacks and again the pass rush goes missing far too often. Diggs lit them up underneath and they had no answers. Poor tackling continues and the entire secondary was piss poor. 
 

The continued lack of discipline by this team is ridiculous. 
 

Offensively, I have no clue what their strategy was! For almost the entire first qtr Brady refused to put the ball into the hands of his two playmakers. At WR, Samuel and Shavers go invisible far too often. In the first half, Brady continued to outsmart himself and it ultimately bit them!

 

Unfortunately, when the Bills settled for a FG, most us knew the D wouldn’t hold. They easily moved down the field for the game winning FG. 
 

Once again the Bills lose a regular season game they had no business losing which ultimately has cost them a #1 seed.

 

Atlanta won’t be any easier!

Its honestly impressive how much money this team can spend on D line and still get absolutely no pass rush. I get it no oliver, but to barely sniff maye all night is inexcusable. 

 

Im not a doom and gloom fan, I know the bills were going to lose some bad games along the way. But this team lives and dies by josh being superman, and the defense is SOFT. I see a SB trophy being extremely  difficult unless something drastically changes with the D. Hopefully the reinforcements coming back do that. But the team dynamic is not SB caliber as of now.

Yeah, but Oliver is “relatively” small. He’s twitchy, but not a game changer.

Well, the doom-and-gloomers and the Fire McD crowd are certainly happy tonight.

What are the realists up to ?

McD has zero talent to work with. Hes the best coach we’ve had in 30 years. 

Unfortunately that doesn't make him good enough to get us over the top.

His red zone pick was terrible too. We had 3 points there. That last Pats kick would have been to go to OT.

Well, I wouldn’t say it sucks…The offense is just good- not great, though…And the defense is as mediocre as it gets…

There’s just no elite talent besides Allen and Cook.

The boneheaded INT cost the Bills the game in reality. Was a 10-14 point swing. I get it, I'm shattered, I've had a long day am over-reacting due to tiredness, but that was a play I thought had been knocked out of his system.

Allen was ass tonight. Left a lot of yards out there plus bad turnover

[Chicken Boo]

Show of hands.  Who thought the Bills were going undefeated?

 

They didn't play their best.  They lost.  Them's the breaks.

Patriots sure looked every bit as good as the bills to me tonight.

Yeah because the Bills didn’t play their best and New England played as well as they can play. 
 

I’m not worried about the Patriots at all. It’s one game. Buffalo will beat them at New England.

He took no accountability after the 13 second loss and nothing will change. Insanity to think he has what it takes to win a SB.

He always finds scapegoats... never his fault.

[Dafan]

Ok, I get how ppl are pissed.  *****, um ready to knock someone out.  But its a division game, which to me is always a up in the air...ask NE when ***** Miami ruin their chance of going undefeated.  Then the Giants the next time.  Regardless, refs calls and stupid plays by knox and Coleman on fumbles cost us.  Not to mention the PI on tre when diggs was already out of bounds.  Thinking any team will go undefeated nowadays is so unrealistic.

Clean up the numerous offensive penalties and Bills likely pull this game out.

I've been saying it since week 1. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. If we lose Monday night and McDermott doesn't make changes during the bye, at the very least getting involved or firing Babich, then it's going to be yet another lost year of Josh's prime.

If we lose Monday night we will have two weeks to think about being in second place in the division.

[Niagara Dude]

This games was lost because Brady and his stupid play calling and a defence that can not get to the QB. The Bills need to go into game thinking about scoring as many points as possible.  Our record is 4-1 but could easily be 1-4,  getting tired of these endless passes behind the line. 

 

Brady and defensive coordinator need to get it together
