So every one would have been grounding you saying ?

I don't know but it seemed to me that most of the sacks took place in the tackle box so yes it would have been grounding.  And don't forget most QB's probably would have been sacked 10 or 12 times tonight as Allen did manage to get out of a couple of tough situations in the way only a few QB's can..

If you would have told before the season started that at this point in the season we had beaten the chiefs and the ravens and we were in the 6th spot fighting for a wildcard behind New England I would have told you to put the crack pipe down.

 

If the playoffs started today the Chiefs, Ravens, and Bengals wouldn't even be in it.

 

🙄 WTF?

I’ll have to watch the replay tomorrow … I thought opportunity might have presented itself for the ball to be thrown away to avoid the grounding call on some of those plays …

 

that doesn’t try to absolve the OL who were terrible at times …

Man I've had Dion's back here before he was even a pro bowler 

 

I don't know he probably thought Josh would get rid of the ball by then because it's actually deep in a drop 

 

But that's obviously inexcusable and he's supposed to be a captain

 

He be slapping up guys right after we lost smiling 

 

Listen it is a long season and it is a job and you can't take losses too hard.. but Dion has gone from chippy chip on his shoulder 

 

To I created an NFL award.. I'm on all the ex-nfl players podcasts.. everybody loves me in the league 

 

I still think he's very good.. this is his worst season in a while is false start today on 4th and 1 with the game on the line is f****** inexcusable

Sean McDermott sounded like a complete sadsack in the postgame show.  A guy with no answers.  

 

 

he looked shell shocked, like he had a plan but then got punched by mike tyson

[philholbroo]

would have been a nice adjustment to see more of hawes out there, wether to stay in blocking or release from line. Doubt its been practiced much but wouldnt mind seeing him in backfield next to josh as blocker in games like this where pass rush is getting through so easily.

We weren't committed enough to the run. 

 

Cooks big runs our case in point why we need to stick with it. 

The run was keeping us behind the sticks all game. They are just as quick to kill a drive. Especially when they still try that dumb screen to Shakir a few times a game after said stuffed run.

Missing that extra point really lost us the game. The offensive line being outclassed most of the game didn’t help either, nor the screen passes. I did love the play on 4:th and super long near the end though.

For the 2nd time in 3 weeks, the bills were pushed aroundvand dominated physically by a team who wanted it more.

Every physical team has whatever they want against us. On both sides of the ball. Been that way since day 1 with McD. The guy walks around acting like he preaches toughness and is a defensive coordinator. We can’t stop the run, get blown backwards off the ball, can’t get off the line or open against press coverage and can’t run or pass protect against physical front.

Every single thing this guy stands for is a sham. A guy riding the coattails of an all time QB and offense. Doesn’t understand how to manage the gameday roster, can’t use challenges right, punts when he shouldn’t, only calls time outs on defense and his specialty is the weak unit of the team every year. The only reason we ever win is because of the offense. The thing he has nothing to do with. We are playing against two coaching staffs every Sunday.

I get that this play wouldnt have mattered, but in the moment, why doesn't Josh throw this to Knox? I mean he's wide open for an easy first and possibly scores? Again it wouldn't have mattered but still...I feel like this has been happening ALOT this year where Josh isnt seeing open stuff.

 

 

 

The direction Knox is going he gotta throw it over that defender and at this point I doubt he trusts anything he’s been hit so much.

They were thin at WR and had to try and rely on the running game, but this was blatantly obvious to anybody who can read.  Brady should have had a better plan to use play action, short passes, RPO's, etc. to at least try and keep them guessing.  

[BobbyC81]

Watching this team crumble around Josh is very discouraging.

That penalty epitomized the night. What a bonehead penalty.

[RunTheBall]

This team is mentally and physically weak. We are a soft, soft team. 

 

This iteration of our Bills is done. Too old, too slow, too predicatable, too injured, too inept.

 

The team needs to be blown up from top to bottom while Josh still has the second half of his career. Complete house cleaning.

 

It won’t happen. The best we will get is to fire both coordinators and go out and get some experienced coordinators instead of these asses we promote from within.

 

It’s a complete abomination that you have a first ballot HOF QB and you can’t get to the Super Bowl

 

McD and Beane can go rebuild the Panthers, time for a cleaning.

 

 

[BobbyC81]

I hate to say it, but I’m starting to think that it might be better for this organization for the team not to make the playoffs this year.

 

Maybe that would get them to make some necessary changes and make some of the returning players hungry again.

[Chief Loves Bills]

Knox was wide open on the final play and right in Josh’s view. He chose Palmer instead and got picked. Likely Josh being jumpy because of all the hits he took all game but still, not anyone around Knox for ten yards.

He was open because Gabe set an illegal pick that they called, so it didn’t really matter.
