Beane's roster and Sean's coaching both being exposed in the 1st quarter. Fun

Yep, bargain bin receivers have already had a huge impact on the game and McDermott clueless in a big spot, as per usual 

[Jamone]

Why is cook not in the game 

[dhgold]

Bills being completely outcoached. McDaniels running circles around Babich. Vrabel owning McDermott situationally.

[Neo]

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

[Niagara Dude]

End of the day,  Mcdermott is going need to explain that no challenge play which gave PATs 7 points

Bills have to score a TD in the next possession 

I'm thinking let's get a 1st down 1st

[ILBillsfan]

wow where was a mlb not sure what type of defensive alignment that was but uhmmmm don't run that ever ever again

[mannc]

Any wishful thinkers around here still think the Pats aren’t good enough to go on a deep playoff run??  
 

It took one season with a good HC and they are already better than the Bills in their ninth season with McDermott and Josh Allen.

1st quarter isn't even done and we already need to steal a possession somehow.

McDermott doesn’t know how to do that other than ask his players to force a fumble

[Nitro]

Commit to the run.  Chasing is difficult but they do not have the passing game to do it all day.  Use your RBs to control your own game.

For the 199 gazillionth time what is the real value of McDermott? 

What would we be without him as coach?

 

Not necessarily better.

[ngbills]

Rest of game go uptempo. Spread the field and go vertical. Mix in Allen runs and draws. They are not gonna win the physical battle.

CBS rules analyst said it would have been overturned.

 

He was trolling us.  i disagree 

[Jerry Jabber]

Gotta wait until halftime for the defensive adjustments 🤬😤

[Jamone]

McDermott is a terrible coach 

[Ray Stonada]

Their coaches are toying with us… they’re running Maye on the Josh running plays which they never did this year 

[The Jokeman]

Just now, ren1701 said:

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

I don't think Maye isn't the gambler that Josh can be.

[BlazinBill]

Quarter -1 

how fragile 

[SC STATE NUPE]

We’re good… This game was never gonna be easy… If we can go into the half down 14-10, that’ll be a plus. Many in here thought last week would be a loss. Just stay composed… Vrabel is a flawed coach too. As flawed as McD is, he makes solid defensive adjustments in game. It’s the offensive adjustments that has me worried.

Terry is one of the worst owners in sports, why would his idiot daughters be any better? 

Because Jess is a competitor at the highest level in pro sports? Seriously?
