If Vrabel was smart, he'd take it easy on the Bills and make McDermott appear to be competent so he gets to keep owning him for seasons to come

I hope they absolutely blow us out

Maybe a good old fashioned ass kicking might wake them up next week 

Doubt it, they just stick to the “process”

Small balls Beane will tell you he knows more than you

Ready for a drive to chew up 9 minutes off the clock to start the 2nd half?

Looks like they’re on their way to doing just that

If we don’t get a TD on the opening drive the game is over.

I agree but it might be over either way.

[bigduke6]

good news is,  we're one of the best 2nd half teams in the league.  so theres that i guess.

Seeing Diggs happy in those 1st half clips  makes me ill. 

Wait until they show him leading the MVP chants for Maye. This is so all predictable.

[Livinginthepast]

Can you imagine if we got to a SB with this coaching staff. Would you trust them to be prepared for their opponents? Today just like in about 15 other games in the McD era, they look completely unprepared and asleep. How does that happen in a game of this magnitude??

Any head coaches available that can start Monday? 

If Philip Rivers can fly up from San Diego to start today, why can't some Nick Saban walk in to coach next week?

[Nitro]

Chronic issue for the team this season on the road.  Show up with the offense playing sloppy.   Defense is not executing simple techniques.  Insistence on playing the soft zone on third down.  As a collection of people, they act like team with no confidence.

Why does this Pats team NOT make mistakes?!?  Maye is so good 

He takes the easy play, but his two best completwere more amazing catches than anything, and one was a drop.  Whereas Allen’s best pass was an easy catch, but dropped 

[MikePJ76]

need a score and then one stop to make this a 1 score game in the 4th where anything can happen.  I am not giving up yet.

[CircleTheWagons99]

Here we go, get ready for some wr screens!

[Brand J]

First matchup was about turnovers and amazing play by Maye. This matchup both sides of the ball are getting dominated. Shades of the Falcons and Dolphins games this year. One thing is for sure - McD/Babich: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET TO MAYE WITH 4 BULLRUSHES. Bring a blitz, run some DL games, bring no less than 5 every down. 

[HamptonBillsfan]

Considering the defense can’t get off the field and can’t stop the run, why would we believe the Bills come back in this game?

[Breakout Squad]

Time to root against Houston and Indi 😔

Bills have to open the half with quick 7 point drive and then we have to pray the D can get a stop. 

Vrabel is gonna run it down our throats. McD will talk about how this team continues to grow and get better and everyone is doing their part.

[Neo]

I am suffering from Groundhog Day syndrome.    I’ll let the learned argue the merits of McD.   I’m just tired while watching.    I’d make him Director of Human Resources where he can coach “culture.”.  He doesn’t get near Sales or Operations.
