They have 10 games to go, their schedule in the last 10 is much harder than the 1st 7, they've suffered huge losses to injury and they look terrible. You might think the Bills are still likely to make the playoffs, but it's far from absurd to think they won't. Exactly why I'm basing my opinion on the negative on playoffs. The injuries are piling up on the D side and the offense is staggering for large portions of games. I don't expect 40+ points every game, but the 4th quarter pile on points wise was a dam that was bound to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really absurd at all. I'm merely looking at the teams play, it's injuries, it's inability to correct even after reviewing game tape, which they do. So far as I can tell, teams pressure the pocket, our O line collapses in some form or another and Josh no longer uses his legs north and south the way he used to. He does a lot of lateral running now. The D is heavily banged up and the weapons Josh does have cannot seem to execute at key game moments. I see no playoffs this year given the stacking of negatives, and if they do by chance make it in, I see no home field, no way to counter opposing AFC teams consistency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens about once every 4 games that he has one that everybody in the building expected him to catch. Considering the targets he gets and that it seems to happen weekly for the 2nd and 3rd targets on the squad, pretty sure Allen isn't picking a new favorite just yet. 😉 It happened again.

Either that or LOTS of lucky guesses at what defense to play when. Everybody that watches knows the plays as much as the bills offence. I watch the games with a couple friends and the three of us are calling out correct plays correctly presnap(run/pass, what type, which direction, who first read will be, routes and concepts ) We may get one or two routes wrong from time to time but for the most part we're pretty spot on. I'm sure defensive coordinators that have much more football knowledge than us can pick up on the same things. 13 hours ago, SwampD said: The refs spotted the pats 14 points and the bills still almost won. The best was when they were actually showing a replay of the penalty as the refs were saying they were picking up flag. It’s a joke. Oh, and Knox sucks. Refs also helped the Bills out a lot. They were bad for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the Bills offense was "not prepared" for the 3rd week in a row. They did not score a TD in the first half. They cannot execute consistently. They clearly are making Allen stop running and trying to get more people involved but it seems the offense has a lot of mediocre talent after Diggs. There are no playmakers besides Allen/Diggs. Knox with another big drop, Davis invisible again, the OL was terrible in pass blocking. Something is wrong. Defensively, we were absolutely terrible on the first drive and on the last drive. In between they were simply inconsistent against a team that averaged about 12 points per game. Make no mistake, NE has terrible offense and a terrible QB, but not today. At least we can say "no Tre, no Milano, no Oliver, no Jones" but still, we have enough horses to beat this team that was literally circling the drain up until today. MCDermott and Dorsey have to be better. They have a tough game on Thursday with a short week. Thankful that Tampa will not have too much time to prepare, Bellicheck revealed a lot of warts today. This loss puts us two behind Miami, and that is 3 straight really lousy games, and we are looking more like a Wild Card with each passing week. Refs extended a few Bills drives with questionable calls. The last couple weeks the refs tried to keep the Bills in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning is a good word for it. Look at the offense versus Miami and then all the games since. They are getting worse every week. That is two losses to NFL bottom feeders. The offense is also pretty healthy. Looking like the coaches have lost the players. Bench Davis and Knox and play whoever can contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if this is the coaching at all or just execution, but changes need to be coming. This is what I am curious about. Lots of ammo being used on the coaching staff, but are the players executing what's called? Frankly I don't care enough to figure it out, but you have to wonder. I watched the first Patriots drive and then flipped over the F1 pre-race show and never went back. I kept looking at scoring updates on my phone and shaking my head. Clearly things are wrong and someone needs to make some changes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Well we are really going to see what this coaching staff is made up of the next several weeks. I think this will be a big moment for our future. Can the current staff get these guys back on track? It makes me nervous when they openly say they have no real answers right now. We face a tough Tampa team then onto Cincy. That could be ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only will they make it, they'll do so by winning the division, which guarantees a home game. And AFC team consistency? You know *every* AFC team that isn't the Chiefs has multiple losses, right? Want to make it interesting? How about a username bet. You think they're most likely to miss the playoffs, I think they're most likely to make the playoffs. Whoever wins the best picks out a new username for the loser (which they're then stuck with for at least 6 months because that's how often you can name change here). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porous Five Hole Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 One thought I had…the Bills offense scored two fourth quarter touchdowns while running the two minute offense.

Buffalonill Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 At the end of the day the bills have to let josh Allen be himself every one can see he's scared to run to wake up the team .

You can have the next greatest quarterback Jordan love Nvm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Rookies need to grow up fast... D is hurting.. where is Rapp?

triumph_communes Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Coaching is awful and is the most fixable. Offense has no weapons past Diggs and Kincaid. Bunch of overpaid drop artists. Defensive is too injured. No team can absorb the number of injuries they’ve sustained. Team has mental issues if they are always playing up or down to their competition. Didn’t have that last couple years, but now it’s ever present on both sides of the ball.

Just because Josh made sure they saw it doesn't mean that it still wasn't late and therefore roughing. That fourth and 2 stop that turned into a 1st and 10 call was beyond BS. Same with the 1st and goal at the end. Those were questionable and it's not even close. Oh, and Knox still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
