Thank God we have a defensive minded coach.   

The boys came out to play. Some statement they are making. Getting pushed around like men playing against boys.

Yup…they are just way better everywhere but QB, and Maye is close enough to Allen that we have nothing for them

 

Yep. This is where Josh starts pressing to get more than what this offense can normally produce. It will either start clicking downfield or get ugly fast with turnovers.

Vrabel knows his tendencies when playing from behind.

Would love to see 2-3 plays called here and a little tempo to the line for a minute 

[BillsFan130]

Is it me or is Babich calling plays today?

Doesnt look like McDermott is

Again, The Bills will need superman. I cant believe it's still the "gameplan" after all those years of the process.  

Yep, at this point..what is "the process"?  To get out coached damn near every week and only stay in games because we have a future HOF QB?  Talk is cheap and so is his process at this point.

82 yards on the ground for NE.  Maye is the leading rusher so a spy is needed.  The bye week has given NE the edge. Fresh and fired up.  

[TheFunPolice]

They're unpacking and setting up the phone booth on the Bills sideline

Maye looks like Allen USED to look before his head coach turned him into a game manager... sad

One coach plays with a spy to defend Allen, the other coach schemes his D like he’s defending a QB that can’t run.

 

COACHING MATTERS!

Another BS spot

Looked like he had first down there,  refs are also ignoring major holding by PATS

[Irish Dave]

Maybe don’t suck so bad at the start of games and then we won’t need to keep talking about adjustments.

I blame McD…not challenging and allowing the Pats to score set the tone for the game…Now, that’s leadership from you HC…

Funny how the NFL instant replay didn't work for us but did for New England. That said, it's the first half. You can waste a time out, unless you lost your future challenge if you are wrong.

Pats are gonna win another Super Bowl before we do and it’s gonna be sad

This is unfortunately the truth 

[henry jones]

1 minute ago, Neo said:

Who will see a Super Bowl, first?   Vrable and Maye, or McDermott and Allen?

Is this rhetorical?  McDermott will never ever see an AFC Championship again, let alone the Super Bowl

[frostbitmic]

Their players hold onto the ball and make plays ... Ours drop them.

Pegs YOU HAVE to demand change on the D side. It starts with a new experienced INDEPENDENT  DC. If McDermott refuses you have to do what u need. Poor Josh, this is completely unacceptable 

🤣🤣🤣

 

While I agree, you have to be be kidding yourself if think Pegs will do anything…

[Mopreme]

It’s sad when you hope the Chiefs win out so that they can make playoffs and beat the Pats. I don’t see any other AFC team getting it done.

Josh had plenty of open receivers today. He's just hesitating to throw.

Lol, he has 4 dropbacks total and one was an absolute dime 50 yards down the field.

Nice spot for a play action chunk, or even misdirection run 

like the punt in first series in miami.

this type of plays defines de course of a game.
