Which has been broken down time and time again, his WR's couldn't get separation.

So he then plays conservative. I don't know why he plays conservative though, could be coaching or it could be all on him.

I would rather see him on a 3rd and long situation throw it 50 yards down field and if it gets picked its like a punt anyway...

he doesn't do that...that's why he has so few int's...he just doesn't have the balls to throw it downfield

His main strength is the deep ball

Like his deep ball is really freaking good.

Right now they don't have a WR on the roster to be a deep threat.

That throw to Zay Jones that went for the endzone was an example of that. He put it in the perfect spot for his WR to make a play. The pass went incomplete but it was exactly where it needed to go, Jones didn't have any separation from the DB and they were battling the entire way.

Yeah...
but u can’t throw deep the whole game
His midrange accuracy holds him back
Like on that throw to O’Leary
If he hits him in stride, we are easily in FG range & not sweating it out at the end

Dude out last 5 games are ridiculous. 4 division games. We will finish 9-7 at best and lose the tie-breaker to Baltimore and everyone will cry.

KC is only 1 game up on SD for their division
If SD catches them,
we could end up getting in over KC for one of the WC spots

I'd rather the Bills just take care of business and get to 10 wins but what can I say, blowing it against the Jets and the last two weeks set them back.

I don't think last week would have been a different outcome but who knows.

The Jets game is going to haunt them.

Also on the throw to O'Leary I mentioned it earlier. It was off the mark and he needs to make a better throw there 1000000%.

he also holds on to the ball too long when he does get good protection, has a propensity to miss wide open receivers or put the ball in places where yac is negligible
- Michael Pachla


That O'Leary pass was terrible. Wide open and he throws it at his knees.

Doubt we can win 10 games
9 might even be a stretch

I'd be happy with 8 at this point.

But I called it earlier this season: Fast start, leads to 7-9

McDermott = Richard Jaron 2.0

Get used to 7-9, guys.

It’s all about the QB
With a legit QB, u have a chance at 10+ wins
Without...
your ceiling is generally 9-7

The defense won this game for us
It’s pretty rare that 16pts gets u a win

Stop talking about a legit QB as if that's even an option for 3/4th of the damn league.

WE DON'T HAVE ONE.

We are a 7-9 team. There's literally no amount of micro-analysis required for the Buffalo Bills anymore and with the Sabres, we're just about there too.

12 times last season the Bills scored 20 or more points

Now I didn't go through and break down of those games if the D scored any but this offensive scheme is not working for this Bills team.

Funny thing is they lost 7 of them

5 of those losses were by 7 or less points

I think the key is stopping the losses because of "lack of effort" and "not following the gameplan"...if they get beat because they're outclassed or beaten by a hot goalie, that's one thing...playing stupid hockey is another

Supposedly John Murphy yelled "Tre Day! Tre Day! Tre Day!" after the game clinching interception. Fail.

Brittany has not been at Rookies since that first night.


It’s a quality place to watch sports, but not what it was that first night.

If the Ravens lose tonight (doubtful) the Bills will be in the playoffs (if they started after this week) in December.

Meaningful games left to be played.

They need a win over the Patriots...

I know Tyrod isn't the long term answer, but I wonder what would happen if they had an OC that would cater to him and his style of play.

He is going to light it up in Denver next year with Sanders and Thomas.

Good let him he’s not doing anything in that division

Scoring 20 or more is the standard though
Hence, why we still lost 7 of those games
