The 4th and 24 was one of the best executed plays in Bills history - so there's that

Who cares about a PAT? This is just another game that should have been a blowout and they inexplicably lost. 

 

Falcons, Dolphins, and Texans are absolute trash and we lost to all three. That makes us a team that has more to worry about than a PAT.

 

We all get wrapped up in the drama and minutia (how can you not?) but here is the reality: we can't pass the ball in the road.

 

We laid an egg in a close one vs ne at home, other than that we lost as meaningful favorites to bad teams on the road.  Every game was the same -- run d was ass, the run got stopped or we stopped running, and the passing game blew and we turned it over.

 

Our road wins are jets, saints, Carolina.  Three awful teams and even in those we didn't really pass well -- those teams just sucked enough that we could run and win and we got some turnover luck.

 

The win at home vs Miami also tells a story -- they sold out to stop the run and it took luck to get us the winning turnover.

 

Levy always said Hitler lost the war because he couldn't win on the road

Josh needs to stop doing tv commercials and focus on football..

[Big Blitz]

I’ve never seen Josh yell “what are we doing??” after that dumb 4th down call where Cook was coming off the field then they threw him back in.  

 

 

 

Just a team being run by a comfortable GM and Coach that know they’re going nowhere.  
 

Beane much more so then McD.

Bills basically had 5 turnovers. Three legit and stopped twice on 4th. They didn’t force one turnover. The only reason they were in the game was because of the kickoff return. Just got their asses handed to them on the offensive line. 86 is very missed.

Dawkins laughing and smiling on the field after the game has infuriated me so much that I just need to go to bed

It makes me angrier than anything that they care less than us. I want to break things, and to them it's just another paycheck.

Maybe him and Keon can practice dance moves when they score a td. Or do a commercial together.

I didn’t mind them going for it…but the play calls on both 3rd and 4th down were atrocious 

if anderson didn't knock down the ball its an easy first down in the flat...probably gets 3 to 5 yards.

He's drafted barely replacement level players and let our pro bowl 6'5 255 lb linebacker walk 

 

But gave Gregg r 80 million.. Christian Benford 70 million... 

 

We traded up into the first round to get a guy who made the pro bowl consistently.. has the most pics in the NFL out of any linebacker the last 3 years 

 

And we re sign everybody but him 

 

Again Sean McDermott does not bring in the groceries he does not control this franchise like Bill belichick 

 

If he did they wouldn't need to pay Brandon Bean millions of dollars.. beane gets millions of dollars a year 

 

He puts the roster together 

 

What is Sean McDermott supposed to say you let our pro bowler walk and I have a third round pick who had one good year and he's 225 lb 

 

Sean McDermott is not control of giving him 45 million that's on the general manager.. I'm sure Sean said hey we have no linebackers 

 

So beane did that... I'm a hundred percent certain Sean McDermott doesn't think Bernard is a better linebacker than Edmunds and he didn't say hey let him walk and resign this guy for well above market value 

 

Bernard is worth five or six million dollars a year we gave him double 

 

That is on the general manager

Valid points, I just think McD prefers undersized linebackers for his scheme and that’s part of the issue. These are the guys Beane is looking for.

I think it's really true though that once again the defense looked totally different with Bernard out. 

 

I hate to say this cuz I feel for the guy but he's not cutting the mustard. 

 

Much much better without him there... great signing Beano

[Comebackkid]

Looks to me like Dawkins is getting to where he is slower than dirt if he cant initially stop someone.

[Big Blitz]

Fitz just said we’re 11-13 on the road since 2023.

Will anyone be held accountable?(rhetorical question).

Owner of Sabres doesn’t seem to have urgency on anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still though, coaching decisions in high leverage critical situations has been bad and probably won't get better. Just a slightly different strategy to get the first down and burn a TO and they would have had 3 or 4 more chances to try for the win. It's a tactical blunder.

was that the third down play on 3rd and 1? Thought that was execution … 

[NoHuddleKelly12]

The lack of a pass rush is mind boggling year over year, and so noticeable when compared to the Texans’ front…Mills’ jersey doesn’t need to hit the laundry this week!

That tells you what he thinks about the offensive coordinator right there.

The exact opposite of how Allen wants to play football.

“letting Josh be Josh” against the number 1 D with Shavers as his best receiver = 8 sacks.

Terry call Dabol now please 

Asking Terry to call Daboll while he has Kevin Adams as the GM of the sabres is an interesting take.

however he was mainly doing so in the game.

 

He gets greedy against bad defenses, but he respected this one and was willing to nickel and dime. Problem was he got greedy once and got picked, his reliable guy fumbled it once and the play calls on two separate drives were dog *****
