This has the feel of a game where the Bills will comeback but lose by one TD… which is of course what we gave up by not challenging that catch. 

I doubt that. This Bills team isn't that good. The Pats are clear the better team. Frankly, it's not even close.

I couldn't get in for a long time. Look at Milano and Thompson before the TD run. First there is absolute confusion on what exactly is going on as Johnson or Tre White shifts to the other side. Then the Patriots run outside zone with Henderson and the both Thompson and Milano are completely flat footed and dont attack downhill. They just stand there watching. I have no idea if they are taught that way but if they are then man it looks bad. I know our Defensive Tackles aren't world beaters but it needs to be better than that.

If we can't beat New England on the road, I just have no confidence in winning 3 road games in the playoffs.  To me, season hopes are over if we can't pull out a miracle.

They should just pack up and fly out now.  This team ***** sucks

He did it easily in 2020-21 when he had talent and a good coordinator. He only goes off target because the roster and OC isn’t good enough to work in rhythm. 

Hes consistently overthrown wideouts since he's been in the league.  Not that we ever get a reminder of it now.

You've watched Josh this long and you think he throws with anticipation and has a good deep ball?  Hes an off schedule off platform wizard.  But he isn't Joe Burrow when it comes to making plays on schedule.

I agree with both these posts

Love Josh

He deserves better

Do the right thing and move him to a winning program

 

Or just bring the winning program here. That's what Robert Kraft did this past offseason. Does Pegula have what it takes? I'm not sure.

Are you kidding me.  Only the craziest Bills homers would place blame anywhere but the Bills players and coaches. 
 

 

This is just like the perfect game but flipped. We are now the 2020 Patriots

[Lionel Hutz]

People think this team and can win 3 games on the road against playoff teams? We are gonna get the Ravens in the first round…

[QLBillsFan]

How about the clock operator ? Are we at a hs basketball game with the homer clock.. we are to guess that run took 4 seconds ? 

[Billsfanatic8989]

Game isn't over. 

 

Still lots of time 

[Seventeen]

Josh has 35 yards passing ... 

[LarryMadman]

Josh needs to have a serious talk with TPegs about his coaches

Josh is going to LA buddy. Newborn and his wife will be out there. Why play here when he can play for McVay after Stafford hangs em up?

 

Enjoy it while it lasts.

The defense is horrible today.  33 plays, 16 first downs, 285 yards, 24 points.   That should be the stats for the game.  Not a half.

This is what happens when Babich calls the plays.

 

Why in the world McDermott gave up play calling duties in the biggest game is just beyond me

[zow2]

i can see why they didnt play Benford today. would not have mattered in the slightest.  Maye and the Pats in general just don’t seem to make mistakes. It’s really uncanny. 

[Steptide]

I hate these uniforms more than anything. I'm blaming that for our poor play.

And you see this improving, when? Next year?  MCD and Beane are like instructions on a shampoo bottle. Wash rinse repeat!

Basically a 14 pt swing when Boutte catch wasnt reviewed, and Cooks dropped a wide open potential TD.

 

This game is still lopsided, bc our DL has no ability to disrupt the line of scrimmage.
