Absolutely embarrassing display top to bottom. All we can hope for is this gets blown up sooner than later. 

Been saying that for awhile…the best thing that could happen for Buffalo is for a disaster that makes Pegula blow this up. We are stuck.

Another clock malfunction against the bills

Uh the clock?

This should actually be 35-7.  Pats ran out of a little time there at the end, and their third down failure/punt was a dumb 3rd and 1 fade Attempt. 
 

can the D adjust? 

[Buffalo Boy]

All y’all who told all of us who wanted Vrabell that he wasn’t good?

He just out coached us and that was picture perfect game management at the end😘

Maye has better coaching and talent at WR, but, I hate to admit it, Maye's play all year has me convinced.  This guy is going to be a top-3 QB at least in the NFL for the foreseeable future.  His fundamentals - footwork, poise, pocket awareness - are the best I've seen out of currently active QBs.  He's fantastic.  And they have a lot of salary cap space for next year.  We are a wildcard contender now for the next few years.

Yep, we have lost the division for quite awhile.  We have to replace coaching philosophy ( won't happen)  and replace tons of talent (and nothing has shown beane can do it)  so the division is NE's again

Another game that feels like the Jauron era Bill

Pffah, pretty much rubbish for most of the half.

this is one of the worst defenses this team has ever had.  

 

Needed to try and build a team that could win shootouts. We made a critical error of team building and this the result. We went all in on McDermott instead of on Allen. Just crazy

[Urban Achievers]

I cant anymore with this coach and GM. I will but I can’t 😂 

[davefan66]

For those clamoring for a timeout on defense if we got the ball back?

 

We weren’t stopping them. Calling timeouts only would have lead to them getting a TD with the extra clock.

Ok so the clock stopped when maye went out of bounds at 23. And then we added 2 more seconds to that after a 10 second take off and there iare 2 seconds left..

 

F u 

Nfl we say your cheaters 🙄

What more does Pegula need to see to realize McD just doesn't have the chops to get this team to a SB.

How does the clock not even run there. 

Had a timeout so it’s irrelevant, they were scoring anyway against this defense.

[Mopreme]

This game is over. Season is over. Golden years are over. 

[Iverwig]

Maybe the Bills will get lucky and McD will retire during halftime. 

[Starr Almighty]

Here's what I learned 23-10 equals 15 and the clock not running makes a 5 second play into a 3 second play

Zero punts 

Pats punted on the 2nd drive. Bills defense was a blown incomplete pass judgement from 2 quick stops the first 2 drives.

[TFBillsfan]

What an ugly and embarrassing half. Difference in coaching and scheme on full display. Mind boggling how the Bills have no answer for accounting for Maye’s scrambling.

NE called the TO according to the ref.

 

The ref pointed at the Bills.
