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

It would be yep. But Joe Brady will pound it up the middle for 1-2 yards

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

We did and went 3 and out

[Dick_Cheney]

That is the worst first quarter we've had in I don't even know how long. 

 

14 total yards. 

 

No first downs.

Bills defense looking very slow in this game.  Can't recognize plays and then can't catch anyone.

if McD threw the challenge flag they would have had 2 quick stops to start the game

[stevewin]

Another BS spot

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

I have no doubt

Where is Beane hiding these days? Don’t see much of him anymore.. 

Hes been invisible since he leaked the "try to trade for Waddle" story only for it to immediately backfire

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

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

Great first quarter all around. ***** idiots. 

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

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

Never happen.

 

[JMM]

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

Josh has to get his mind straight here.

 

Can’t keep starting every game so uneven. Whatever them problems is, he better shake the yips in the offseason!

He’s had the ball for 3.5 minutes. Wr bobbled a huge play and then on next drive Wr goes offside. D gotta stop someone.

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

It’s not the gameplan. They start off slow because they try to play normal offense but the lack of talent outside of JA and JC is stark so they have to bail.

Sal Cappaccio is ON IT, dude.

He's playing better than Josh now.

Yea, imagine Allen if the other team didn't put a spy on him and his WR actually caught his downfield passes. Doesn't really seem like a similar situation right now.

[Simstim]

Painful quarter.

 

Need better. Obviously

[Seventeen]

Defense has been abused all season. Why would anyone expect any different playing a real offense ? 

 

Beane will fix it for next year. 😜

[Virgil]

144 vs 14 1st quarter yards
