The difference between a well coached team and a poor one on display previous 5 minutes 

Came here to say this.   It’s pathetic.  
 

And we are supposed to believe this team will win a road playoff game, let alone even beat the Pats in a third matchup.  
 

Sadly, Josh looks good, but can’t get any help.  Maybe he should retire at halftime

And Brady has forgot the playaction again. Keep the d honest.  

they are run blitzing on 1st downs too.

[Roundybout]

Freaking McDermott committing that false start and not picking up that blitz! 

[BuffaloBill]

The patriots* are prepared for the Bills the Bills are prepared to fail

[DapperCam]

Gonna be tough sledding if we go down 14-0

[5ths the charm]

Offensive coordinator has got to know they are going to blitz. Call a cross route to let Josh get rid of it quick. Instead it's 15 yd in and out routes

Bills are being outcoached

The disparity is just incredible between these coaching staffs

[finn]

Let's review. Brady runs on first down. Two yards. He takes his best skill player off the field. False start, third and long. He takes his deep threat off the field. Sack. 

Are they shaving points, these coaches? 

[Mod_Squad_Reject]

We made colossal mistake not grabbing Vrable when he was available. Im so sick and tired of this team looking like they’re not prepared. It looks we didn’t game plan for anything, just the same old crap.

did u miss the opening play?  play action right in cooks hands and he dropped it.  

[Billsfanatic8989]

If players gave up as quickly as fans, they would be 0-17 on a yearly basis. 

 

It's a one score game!!!!

Anyone else still seething about that non-challenge?

Seething at the eye in ske not looking at it.

[Ray Stonada]

Hang in there

 

Bills need to weather the storm 

[Mopreme]

Just terrible. Pats are clearly the better team in all phases.

This.  Some know exactly what to do by instinct in the moment.  McD doesn't have that and I mean that.  He's a guy that likes to think on things, that's not a terrible trait for a person, but it is for a coach in pressure situations.

 

He surrounds himself with people like him.  No knee jerk personalities.  Guess what McD?

ultimately the math was so easy- 

 

this team isn’t built to play from a hole. It was at worst 50-50 and first half timeouts are not near as valuable as getting the ball back there would’ve been. 
 

no risk, massive reward. I don’t care if he’s only getting the ball back 25% of the time - throw the flag on every questionable 30 yard catch on 3rd down all season long

[billsbackto81]

Obvious blitz down for Pats and Brady has no answer.

[bkep32]

Patriots are back plain and simple

Another sleepy gameplay. Not sure what they are trying to do. 

I honestly have no idea what we practice during the week. Can’t be fundamentals. Certainly isn’t being physical. 
 

But whatever it is somehow a guy will pop up on the injury report, lol.

$20 million and a #32 pick is what Beane has invested in Samuel, Palmer, and Keon
