Sure … but they aren’t capable of playing a “clean” game either 

haha. True. How about we don’t commit a penalty on every ST play for once?

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

mentally and physically out of shape

It's true

 

Keon helps more blocking and he could have been a guy that Josh could've thrown some jump balls when the protection wasn't there

 

This isn't even debatable. Keon was missed in this game

Missing a meeting is McD doghouse.  Not tackling or blocking is okay though.

The pass rush has basically been non-existent since the KC game.

And the only reason they were doing anything was because of Hoecht. And he’s done for the year. Maybe even next year.

You think McDermott had no input in wanting Bernard signed? 

Dude when you have no other options and  you let a first round pick walk to play a third round pick and his contracts up 

 

I'm sure McDermott said I have no linebackers and I need guys... That does not mean you give Terrell Bernard 45 million dollars over 4 years 

 

He's literally a five six million a year player.. if he doesn't want to take that let him walk keep that money we could have got a better linebacker in free agency for 5 million a year 

 

Zach baun sign with the Eagles for peanuts and all prod... We signed a 223 lb always hurt middle linebacker with one good year to 45 million

 

This isn't Madden you have a general manager for a reason.. I'm sure McDermott said I'd rather have Bernard then not have him if you're not giving me a replacement... That doesn't mean overspend on a guy who is the 25th best middle linebacker 

 

But they wouldn't sign a guy who was top 10 but we signed other guys to 80 million dollars

Collectively it was the OL’s worst performance in recent memory. All 5 guys stunk tonight and took turns getting beat, many times on the same down.

On 3rd and 1 was the attempted screen pass to Shakir, but Anderson batted it at the line. Allen could have lofted it more, but then Houston would have had more time to run downhill and potentially stop him short or break it up. Allen probably wanted to place it like 1 foot higher.

A tush push is a 95% play there, and you call your time out, and then you have 4 downs and 30 seconds from the 20 yard line to try to score. Like I said, it's a tactical blunder, and Brady would never win at Risk.

Ok … I watched the game on my phone no sound … I thought that if the ball was passed over the LOS would have been a first down .., but if you see otherwise fair enough

I’d say Cook, Ty, and Bishop had good games.

I guess compared to the rest of this mess. Sure.

It's that simple dude, we are a bad road team

In other words, soft.

At least throw it away. Can't take 8 sacks!

Didn't almost all of those sacks come from the middle of the tackle box? He can't throw it away.

But wtf?  Knox was wide open on the sideline and he throws it 4 yards to the right to Palmer in double coverage.  Knox catches that, and its a TD and lead with 20 seconds left!

 

HE WAS OPEN BECAUSE OF THE OPI, IT DOESNT MATTER WHO HE THREW IT TO

There is so much that is just not going well for Buffalo. Josh is one of those things. It's all a mess and there are so many reasons as to why. It's just not our year. 
 

 

 

 

 

again

You must have missed the 6 TDs Josh had a few days ago…Houston is the best defense in the league and our O Line decided to not block tonight.

It's actually called back. 

 

Yes Josh missed him, but with the constant pressure Allen was running for his life all night. With the pick play, Palmer was his read and he took it

lost today Max, AJ Epenesa, Spencer Brown, Terel Bernard? Wait and Benford to right?

I was thinking that we have more hurt guys than healthy now!!

[RyanC883]

Just now, appoo said:

He's been the best LT in the league this year, until tonight

He was awful tonight.  

[PayDaBill$]

This team is too old and too small.  It looked Normandy the way we were losing guys.

 

Brady is awful, just awful! I’m not sure how much more I can watch.

I really don't think anyone had a good game tonight. Thats not even over reacting. I don't know who payed well. 

Exactly.  After games like tonight it's not even worth calling out individuals.  Total team loss all the way around tonight

I get that.

It was still the right read.

And OPI is 10 yrds.

Knox was open because Davis took his man. Who cares if the read was wrong…..the play wouldn’t have counted…..just delaying the inevitable

I said it in the 2nd half thread. We’re toast. No defense. Very average offensive line. Good to great running back, nothing at wide receiver, above average at TE (when Kincaid is healthy).  Defense, despite the draft and FA investment a is an absolute joke. 
 

6 or 7 in the playoffs, if we even make it, and 1 and done. 
 

what a waste of JA 17. 

The defense is probably gonna creep into the top 10 statistically after this game and it’s gonna be kind of hilarious cuz it doesn’t mesh with the eye test at all 😂. Seems like they gave up way more than this but they only gave up 261 yards tonight
