[abranovi]

You had to know that they were selling out on the run!  The Josh Allen run!  So you hand it off to cook 7 yards in the backfield 

smart, real smart

[vanislebills44]

embarrassingly bad......need 1 yard n hand it off 3-4yards back...not even worth gettin angry about, its actually sad 2bh...

Cook has been stuffed most of the night. Lets run Cook on 4th and short.

Cook has 113 yards on 16 carries. But go on....

[Slowcoach]

Were dominant run blockers

Brady is toast.

That’s what 99% of the NFL HC would do but McDermott is smarter than everyone and pretend nothing is wrong. 

[Andy1]

There are no words to describe how dumb that was

[Southern McButterpants]

What an inventive call on one of the most important 4th down calls of the season. 🙄. Please go elsewhere Joe Brady. 

[BRH]

Josh should have taken it himself.  He couldn’t get the play from the sideline and they broke the huddle way late.  Poor.

[Big Turk]

Why why why??? Allen gets the first down almost every time, if I'm getting stopped it's going to be with my best play

[schoolhouserock]

Ugh

[mbs]

I was disappointed when it was 2nd and 7 (clearly a run) instead of 2nd and 6 (maybe a pass). But then they handed the ball off on 4th down three yards deep. That's when I knew ... oh hell, just fire Brady, fire McDermott.

That was over 10 years ago. Rex Ryan also had a top D in 2009 who couldn't coach defence in 2015. Things change fast in the NFL 

 

Rex Ryan took a historically 4-3 defense here and tried to flip it to a 3-4 that's why he failed miserably we didn't have the personnel 

 

He was definitely passed his prime as a coach but trying to fit square pegs in round holes is never the answer 

 

I'm 100% sure Sean McDermott just didn't say run up the gut on 4th and two.. pretty sure Joe Brady called that 

 

And McDermott is working with ragtag on defense.. we resigned the wrong people..that means beane re signed the wrong people

 

He gave 80 million dollars to Greg Rousseau who can't sniff a quarterback

 

[Heavy Kevi]

They finally put cook in on possession downs and then call the most predictable plays ever

 

Rather give Allen some options, dang.

 

Brady's biggest weakness is calling plays that every single person in the stadium sees coming

[noacls17]

I can't believe there are people who want to give 64 twenty mill a year. Terrible

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Have to kick it on 4th and 1 against this D. Going to have to score twice to win anyway.

[Buffalo ill]

Their defensive backs can instantly drop a tank of a fullback with the first contact.  Our defense typically takes 4 or 5 guys to stop a running back 9+ yards downfield.

[muppy]

4 pages of agreement on what a HORRIBLE 4th down call that  was

 

[ILBillsfan]

Cook should of come out on third dwon he looked tired there.....suicadla to let him go for it there on fourth but the line blocked no one

[streetkings01]

9 in the box and let’s run right at it 

[Steptide]

Get mad Josh
