Strongest arm in the league and the only pass plays we use are sideways.

Never forgive McD for 13 seconds. Never forgive Beane for ignoring receiver for years.

Let's also add:

- Cincinnati Bengals eliminating us.

- Beane ignoring defense for years.

- Kansas City Chiefs eliminating us year after year.

This defense is horrible. It doesn't matter who's calling it. 

 

While I don't disagree, half of them are practice squad players. 

 

What's the offense's excuse for zero points?

Miami is holding Cook to 3.0 YPC. That is a death knell for this offense. Kincaid is our only option on forward passes and that just isn't enough to get it done.

 

My question is why does the O Line look so pathetic? There are no injuries there.

time to eat my depression away i guess

I rip on the coaches a lot but this half feels like it's on the players for a complete failure to execute. 

It’s the complete opposite. If one player is screwing up it’s on the player. If the entire team is flat, it’s DEFINITELY on the coach. In every sport at every level.

The Dolphins defense doesn’t have anyone lined up more than 10-15 yards deep.  They have zero respect for our ability to push anything downfield.   It’s borderline disrespectful and the Bills can’t do anything about it.  
 

 

Of course.

 

IF none of these “nobody eats” sub standard collection of WRs cannot get open/ nor catch, then ALL teams are ramped to stop 17 & 4.

 

Thanks for ZERO help, Beanie!

 

Do ya think Waddle might have helped today.

 

Now you’re down 0-16 with this gaggle of shite and against driving rain!

We didn’t get away from it. Cook has 7 rushes and 2 catches. So 9 touches already. The problem is he hasn’t done anything on any of them, except for fumble the ball away. 

It doesn’t seem like we’ve gone very heavy on the running plays in this one which always puzzles me. I could be wrong though its kinda tough to get a gauge on live

He knows the system!

Knowing it doesn't mean you can do it

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

The helpless part is thinking we won’t get the stops necessary to give you a shot to catch up. Even after the cook fumble. They are on their own 5. You had to left them go all the way down the field? Just ***** stop them. They don’t even have hill

If I'm a Miami fan I'm worried about not being up 17

 

People keep laughing at me but it matters 

 

It does... And the Bills can still...and honestly still should win this game...

But people are laughing for a reason... There is something fundamentally wrong with the way this team get out-coached and out-prepared some games... And this is looking like one of those games...

[Billsfanatic8989]

The defense has given up 16. Not good. But the offense is even worse.

It’s almost like we should have traded for someone.

Defenses only have to defend a very small portion of the field 

[DaVinci]

I reiterate we did save that 2016 1st rd pick and passed on Waddle

 

"With the 23 pick in the 2026 NFL draft the Buffalo Bills choose CB Slim Pickens from moose kill Montana

7 rushes really isn’t a lot for an entire half and 6 possessions, yes he didn’t do great on those 7 rushes but that’s not all him as the OL haven’t covered themselves in glory either

We've got so many injuries on defense though. Yes, we've been poor, but there's a valid excuse with the D.

It’s only half the Bills can still win this one easily.. looks like a classic case of hangover after beating the Chiefs last week.. 

Congrats on furthering the 1st place positioning with the win in TB. This game is effectively over. Weather will certainly not help either. Bills cant run or throw and have practice squad on D. Over.
