Done in by The usual suspects

Not sure exactly what they were doing with Micah but as usual I was forced to watch replays with him in a chokehold.
Makes my blood boil if they would call every hold that is committed on him games would be totally different.

Oh I agree, so why are we using Micah in enclosed rushing areas....especially in a game where the Bills handed it off 49 times (how many times are they not called as not effecting the play, not an excuse) shouldnt we be utilizing Micah's ability to use his pace/motor rather than in a position that he's pressing the QB. Get him in the open, makes holds more blatant.

My law change would be, give teams an extra TimeOut and allow them to challenge holds.

It was a playoff atmosphere. Seeding on the line for us, staying alive for them. We did what we normally do in that situation.

This team has been smelling themselves for weeks after beating up teams with no defenses. All the roses being thrown by the media and fans, all the hype, all the talk out of the locker room, players praising coaches and other players, hanging pictures of upcoming players on the pads at practice...my God you could feel this coming a mile away.

This 1000%

 

[CowboyoWales]

My only concern was the offense.

I don’t expect consistent defense in this league. It’s just not built that way.

But the offense was so bad. They’ve got to figure that out in games like this.

Well at least the Bills Secondary played like Gallup in 2022.

I hear you that fumble was another lost possession along with trying to block the kick it would have been better to just let them punt the ball if you can't try to block it cleanly.

You are using logic and smarts. Unfortunately, Sam Williams has the same 2 cent brain that Kelvin Joseph had. He is a stupid penalty waiting to happen, just like that idiot Joseph was before him.

Agreed the holding is out of hand it changes the whole game we have a guy who can pressure the quarterback like no other but he is allowed to be held on every play don't understand why Jerry doesn't straighten this out at the league office it's so blatant.

I could tell as soon as the game started it was going to be one of those games.

We couldn't stop the run.

We couldn't score a touchdown in the red zone.
We were going to get drive stopping penalties.
They were going to get drive extending penalties and I was going to have to continue to watch our players be held and no calls made.
Missed a fumble and a punt block kept us from getting off the field.

Our offensive line was over matched and continued to break down.

And shortly after halftime our players develop that on the road hang dog look that told you we were never coming back to even compete in this game.

All that said tomorrow is another day and I still have confidence we can beat Miami. They have made their bones beating up on a lot of suspect teams and I believe they are beatable

Thoughts

dan quinn is a genius.

 

[Blackrain]

On the short term the good news is I think we can beat Miami I think we can come back focused and I could be wrong but I don't think Miami is as tough a team.

Unfortunately the big picture tells us that we will have at least one more of these type of games before the whole season is over because we're going to have to play a real good team on the road again with a real good running game and I feel it would be wishful thinking to believe the results will be much different

 

[Surfguy]

This team is doomed I tell you! Get out while you still can!

Miami and Detroit both run the ball better than the Bills.

 

[Redline360]

Most concerning was there was no adjustment being made on either side of the ball. Especially during half time.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

You could tell it was going to be a long day during the Bill's first drive. They just pushed our defense all over. Then the rest of the team folded like a hot potato. Game over.

Bills were super motivated as well. Plus I think they are better than people realize. I don't know how many people watched the game when they played the Eagles a couple weeks ago? Romo was raving about how well they were playing and that they were going to be extremely hard for anyone to beat. He's probably right the guy knows what he's talking about.

Dead on post. I too could spot the signs early on. But you forgot to mention the Dak deer in the headlights stare.

Yep......you could feel it. It was mentioned that Allen talked about his team treating every game left like a playoff game and it showed. LOL, someone apparently told our players we had clinched coz we certainly didn't wanna be out there.

If we beat Miami everything will be brushed under the rug
We are going to be the 5 seed anyway
Need to address the real issues with coaching, lack of discipline and mediocre QB play

 

[Chuck 54]

Actually I thought we matched up against the Bills better than Miami. Detroit is a good evaluation game.
This week you'll see more of the Mike and Dak show.

Not physically

That was the most disappoint part. Bills ran it down our throat. Got a stop only for a penalty to keep the drive alive. Then we missed the deep pass to Cooks. Another drive, another run it down our throat and penalty and 14-0 and game was over. Game over. Ugh.

I stand corrected

I agree but we never seem to adequately address those issues every time we play a good team in their house all these issues rear their ugly heads and it's just like groundhog Day over and over nothing ever changes.

Have To throw a little bit of this on McCarthy challenge flag needed to come out on that fumble and the lack of discipline leading to these personal foul penalties just can't be tolerated it will be our undoing in the playoffs

Yeah it was kind of like they were kids in the neighborhood and it started to rain and they wanted to go home forgot all about the millions they were getting paid to get the job done out there.
