What about the Jets?

On to Atlanta. I better see a team with a purpose. They got too cute and were incredibly sloppy tonight.

Thing is..why did Josh not realize we had no timeouts and make that throw up the middle of the field?

It was pretty obviously supposed to be a lateral play. There was no chance we were going to move down the field in 8 seconds from the 20 yard line.

Why o  earn have Tre defend Diggs so much versus Mack hollins?

I blame the refs. Bills scored 17 points in the second half when the eased up a bit.

You know what you’re getting with Hochuli , and it isn’t good. The Bills gave  this game away ,which they usually don’t do. I figured it would be about a 6 point or less game with the Bills winning. The offense threw up on themselves too many times to achieve victory.

It's obvious that as long as he's 500 in the playoffs McD has a job.  And that's the dilemma to which there is no answer. I'm fully aware that things could go South real fast if they walk away from McD.  I also have a feeling that in spite of having a future HOF QB the Bills are never making the Super Bowl with McD as coach.

 

 

and I want desperately want

to be wrong and have McD get to the SB - he never seems to have what it takes

I don't think that was the plan; my gues is he either wanted Palmer to catch and run out or start the pitches immediately. Instead he turtled which was strange.

Here is where those uniforms need to go:

We don’t play Denver

Oh shoot, not sure why I thought they did. Well, insert any team. Let's say the Texans.

Blaming a uniform is probably outside the top 10 of "reasons we lost"

 

I don't know, I think I could fit it in there. 

 

1. Refs

2. Refs

3. Game plan

4. Playcalling

5. Missing too many starters on defense

6. The Bills were feeling themselves too much in their pretty new jerseys and didn't take this game seriously enough.

 

There were go, I didn't even need all 10!

[Low Positive]

The thing that got me was the lack of holding calls on the Pats OL when you could see them holding all night. Everytime Maye rolled out they held with two full hands of jersey. It was plain as day from the broadcast angle. 

[Roundybout]

Atlanta is going to kill us by the way 

[Einstein]

I am also tired of Joe Brady’s play calling.

 

A tight end handoff in the 1st quarter when you’re moving the ball well? Really? REALLY JOE? You wanted Dawson Knox to get a handoff behind the line of scrimmage?

 

It was infuriating in the first half.

So you predict 4-13?

It was supposed to be a hook and ladder

Hopefully a wake up call to let the offense unleash and stop playing so tight

I've been hoping this for a while, but it's not gonna happen I don't think.

 

McDermott wants this. Clock control offence to protect the defence at all costs

[Success]

A couple of plays really turned that game. Most impact was Shakir's PI - we probably get a TD there without that.  The next is the non-PI that forced us to kick at the end, instead of taking a 4 point lead.

 

The Pats were playing like everything in their world depended on it. They earned the win, but it wouldn't shock me if they had a tough one w/ the Saints next week.  This was a huge game for them.

I dont think what is wrong with the Bills is fixable without new players. Our D stinks, WRs can't get open. If Allen has an off night, we lose. Same as it's always been.

The Knox jet sweep is a play a 10 year old playing madden knows isn’t gonna work.  So let’s try it again with samuel because it worked so well the first time, which caused the kincaid penalty.  And the Tight End screen to Kincaid was similarly awkward leading to the shakir penalty, which led to the Josh pick in red zone.  As for the other drive killers in first half, Coleman’s ineptitude had that covered.  

McDermott just said “sometimes we get to cute” which I think is a direct criticism of plays you just described

It might be that those teams we’ve played aren’t so inferior.. we just have a generational QB that masks an awful lot of deficiencies 

The last time we had a generational QB his name was Jim Kelly and when we played inferior opponents he was sitting on the bench with his helmet off drinking Gatorade midway through the fourth quarter because we buried inferior opponents early in the game.

 

Call it killer instinct, putting our foot on there neck, or whatever. We are not doing it.
