Buffalo Bills Bills (6-2) vs. Vikings (7-1), November 13, 1PM ET: 'Both Teams Can Win A Trade' edition

[yahhockey]

Surprise, surprise. Hopefully they miss the two point conversion. Willis is 5/11 for 80 yards. Chiefs RBs have 9 carries for 8 yards.

 

[TheStorm]

Of course the the Chiefs fail and the refs hand them another try

Two extra tries. And the first hold on the first try at least was garbage. Dude got knocked down, not held, within 5 yards. Garbage call.

Two? wow the NFL being a bit blatant there with wanting a tied game Jesus

 

[misterchainsaw]

This games not making overtime unless Buetker chokes again.

At this point it doesn't feel like the Titans can score, so better the Chiefs score than a tie. A tie is by far the worst result for the Bills since they have the tiebreaker on both teams.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Tennessee gets the stop. Don't think KC can risk it the way this game has gone..... but it looks like they are.

And they just get it. That felt like one of the only ways the Chiefs could lose this game at this point.

 

[misterchainsaw]

35 seconds for Willis. Titans WRs have 1 target all night.

Tennessee gained 23 yards in the entire 2nd half.

 

[yahhockey]

Difficult to believe a FG wouldn't win the game because the Titans haven't been able to move the ball for a few drives.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Preffered result: TEN TD.

If not, a KC stop is preferable to a TEN FG. Unfortunately TEN probably knows a tie acts a lot like a win for them - they stay ahead of KC on tiebreakers and make BUF's tiebreaker over them irrelevant.

Willis just is not NFL ready. At least with TEN recievers.

Good God he's terrible. Chiefs win easily. Once the Chiefs figured out Tennessee couldn't go downfield they completely shut them down.

 

[TheStorm]

Willis sucks yet the Titans should have won this game. NFL being shady as helll

When push comes to shove…some teams get back to back bailout flags from the 2 yard line…some teams get a phantom holding call when they haven’t thrown that flag all day.

such is life.

Two? wow the NFL being a bit blatant there with wanting a tied game Jesus

Kelce even ripped off the defenders helmet on one play....the defender got a holding call..Kelce got nothing lol

 

[K8fool]

1st holding call all day

The bills need to overcome when the League narrates a zappy loss.. we'll be fine but need to stomp teams early.. We had multiple chances.. I don't believe this will matter..
Next Sunday will b tough but even that we'll be fine..The hot takes from the Yutes hear are amusing.. trade Josh, fire etc..Poyer and Milano make a huge difference as will TRE.. NO Rousseau hurt..
Even so Josh will have teams playing like it's the super bowl and cannot play lightly w teams that scouted and jumped routes .
these are necessary wake up calja , especially after thinking we got thru tough sched.
The jets line is good but our starters don't allow last drive despite us being fd with just like last two sabres games.. No excuse , they played terrible in second have , turned ball over and it STILL TOOK A BULLSHIT HOLD to stop us on and off day. Fook it ,, We love you bills and F the League...
But...It's our own fault, we allowed it to be close In a division game at the khazarian Club ... Get over. Jets lines played well enough to keep it close..Hats off

such is life.

Such is the wwnfl... But we know this. It's our own fault not stomping them after up 14 to 3.

I did not take this seriously enough as I imagine we did as a collective. Blame is everywhere but then drop it and beat a Good Viking team

The game sucked, but this was an incredible throw by Allen. Gabe needs to make the big play for his QB. He had two big time drops.

As the tweet suggests- perhaps we all were a bit too optimistic for his output this season. Knox as well hasn't lived up to the hype. McKenzie has straight up sucked. OBJ seems like a bigger need at this point. Also, get Shakir eating in the slot!

 

[kirby11]

I’ve accepted that we’re gonna lose the 1 seed to KC again

They seem to have a horseshoe up their ass in close games and insane favoritism from the refs at home

Also why did we pay Knox $14M to have him do nothing but block and get like 3 targets per game

The reason it looks like he flubbed the catch was because Gardner was using his body to push him forward and had his hands in there preventing him from catching the ball.

To give a ticky tack holding call to put us in 1st and 20 and then ignore what was a pretty obvious PI call

The refs were a joke yesterday, the jets were called with 3 penalties, one of which was the special teams unnecessary roughness. I'm sure Buffalo got away with a bit as well, but to put the finger on the scale at the end of the game when the whistles were firmly away the entire game is terrible. I just rewatched 3 plays from the jets last drive and there were obvious holds that weren't called with the jets players having handfuls of the defensive players jerseys.

Buffalo had to play better, including Allen. But the refs absolutely had an impact late in the game. In a tie game late in the 4th quarter, you can't let one team get away with holding at will on one drive then suddenly call it to take away a 25 yard pass and put them in 1st and 20. If they do that to the Jets once on their drive, Buffalo gets the ball back and can kick a field goal and win the game.

Edit: The jets were not called once on defense, once on offense, and 2 calls on special teams. What a joke.

Surprise, surprise... Seeing lots of overreactions online. A couple thoughts on the overreactions:

1) Josh wasn't good enough - he had an off day. It happens. He was missing open receivers, the ball placement was off on the passes he did complete, and it looked like he had hard time deciphering the Jets coverages all day. If Josh is Josh, then we win that game by 2-3 touchdowns.​

​

2) Seeing lots of commentary on our weapons, i.e. Gabe isn't a #2, Knox needs to get more involved, we miss Beasley. What a bunch of bullshit. We lost because they wrecked our o-line without blitzing. It's literally our recipe for success on the other side of the ball. It doesn't matter who the weapons are, if Josh is getting linemen shoved back into his face consistently, he's not going to have time to read the defense and make plays back there, especially when there are 7 guys sitting back there playing well disguised coverages. As for Gabe's drop at the end, do we really need to make any long term conclusions because he couldn't make a difficult catch while a guy was draped all over him?​

​

3) That's the second time this season we lost right after a phantom hold call erases a huge play to kill a comeback attempt. I know the common response is "there's a million reasons we lost, that shouldn't be the difference", but that line is bullshit. For many seasons we watched Brady sneak by mediocre opponents with a last minute comeback, and now we see Mahomes doing it too. It's the old adage - great teams aren't always great, just when they have to be. Well, it's pretty bullshit that the refs decide to get involved when we're trying to have our "be great when you have to be" moments.​

Final thoughts - being 0-2 in the division really sucks. It's way early, but we're already behind on potential tie breakers. Quessenberry is terrible and almost got Josh killed.

I also agree with a lot from Eric's assessment here, but I still have doubts that Tre will look like Tre this season.

My biggest concern for the season moving forward are the injuries.

Poyer has played roughly 4 1/2 games. With Hyde out for the year and J Johnson being a problem for the Bills when he plays, they need Poyer to be right for the rest of the season.

Same with Milano.

They have the DL depth to deal with injuries. But, they do not have the same sort of depth at safety or LB unless Marlowe is able to be the guy that plays if Poyer is out and he gives the Bills way more that Johnson has.

On offense, the OL is part of the issue. But, there are issues with weapons not named Diggs or Allen. That is why they went out and got Hines and Beane did not dismiss the OBJ talk.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Finally get to sleep.
The time difference makes it so I have to spend the entire day in a bit of a negative mood after a loss :/
The internets is also an unhealthy place with all the overreactions :s I'm just going to look at the Rams' first few games after the deadline last year and remind myself that if they fix themselves things will be fine.
I think they can.

You can see how much Josh is hurting in this clip. He cares so deeply about winning.

He had a "similiar" sprain injury his rookie year and missed 4 games. Hopefully this is not as severe and not tendinitis.

Oops, my bad. I could have been more clear. I meant hurting emotionally from the loss and his poor play. It almost sounded like he was close to choking up just talking about it.

Dude is such a competitor and cares so deeply. We are lucky to have him.

But yes, I also agree on the injury!
