Gronk and Cowher calling out how the team management has failed Allen. 
 

hopefully Pegula is listening. 

I don't think he cares, he obviously doesn't have Championship expectations.

It's time to recognize that this is not a playoff contender.  Even if some players get healthy, they are no threat in the playoffs.  They won't do it, but it might be time to pull Allen to protect him from pointless injury and ride out the season and get a decent draft slot.

[Nelius]

This whole one step forward one step back so we can fight for the playoffs mentality is very McD and very exhausting.

He’s right.

Especially on defense. We're, perhaps, the weakest defense in the league.

Bengals have less talent, even in our injured state, yet play with an edge. 
 

We play timid and scared - It’s emasculating to watch. 

[Governor]

Another really awful game plan by McD. There’s been 4-5 this season where he takes possible victories away from the team.

That is and has been the story in national sports media for weeks.

 

Allen is so good he's going to overcome it and the front office will feel validated by the results

If the first drive was a TD instead of a field goal, this is a 6 pt game. 
 

 

7 points. we would not have gone for two, even with the penalty.

Taron shoulda raked the ball on 3rd, may have ended the drive.

 

Taron with a not so smart PI. Questionable maybe, but don’t put yourself in that position with the ball not even close.

He’s toast. Needs to be cut at end of season if not sooner.

We’re probably lucky Pegula likes hockey more than football. 
 

I don’t think we want Pegula managing football decisions.

Will they change their cleats during half time?

Beane didn't get enough weapons.

This made me laugh out loud. If Beane were deliberately trying to undermine the offense without being caught, he couldn't have done a more effective job. Palmer, Moore, Coleman, Samuel. Just take a moment and relish that lineup.

Sorry.  I missed the five minutes of the game.  Relied on info from my wife.

You will never, ever convince me a McDermott coached defense will win you a championship.

 

Maybe if we go all in on offense and just try to win shootouts against good teams. But I'm not convinced McDermott will allow that either. So 🤷‍♂️

[Not at the table Karlos]

How is Higgins back in?

What did he say? I missed it

Josh Allen is playing great, and he doesn't have any help.

Remember hearing how bad cincis defense is

they’ve gotten some gifts…Ty Johnson just falling down untouched saved them 4 points and a pretty obvious uncalled facemask on that third down screen to Shakir saved them 3-7 

[BillsFooteball]

I will never forget the thread from couple years back titled the bills need worse receivers.  All time bad take I have ever read that wasn’t trolling
