Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

Dan Fetes on twitter has a replay of the play -- it's not graphic, but it's not comfy to watch either.

I don't know how the Steelers are 3-2. I just don't.

I heard someone on the radio saying they were taking the Ravens in survivor and just shook my head.

Never bet ANYTHING on Ravens-Steelers. Except maybe the under.

Anyway I have a feeling it might have been better for us to have the Ravens run away with that divison and give everyone else L's.

At least Houston lost.

Dorsey was decidedly NOT the issue today. He just wasn't.

On drive 1, he dialed up a good 3rd down call that didn't succeed because either Josh threw a bad ball or Cook dropped a catchable one. Not sure which, but it wasn't executed well at all.
Drive 1 of the 2nd half? Great playcall, great route run......straight drop by Davis killed it.
2-point conversion? Shakir had a superb opportunity to convert....but Josh was too casual with the throw which allowed the ONE defender with a chance to blow it up.

The offensive line did NOT run block well at all today.....and when they blocked well/decently, the Jax DC would send one more rusher than we had blockers and blow the run up.

Then of course the myriad penalties -- most of which were deserved.

I think the day was summed up by a comment earlier (by @misterchainsaw ???) -- the number of drives we had where we ended 10/15 yards from FG range was mindblowing. Like, we could move the chains a little, but not consistently enough.

Today came down to offensive execution first and foremost. Could Dorsey have adapted a little better to what the Jags' D was doing? Yeah, probably.........but even that said, he wasn't top 5 in the reasons we lost this game.

Thanks, Z. As I said, just saw the highlights, and was swayed by comments here and on X.

Most of you guys know the sport far better than I do. Appreciate the feedback.

f***. Time to start working the phones, Brandon.

Oh yeah, and BAN TURF FIELDS ALREADY.

Ehhhhh, neither major injury today were related to turf. Or a long flight.

A leg snapping the way it did and a pec being torn is just flat-out unlucky.

Looks to me like the Bills have peaked....... like 2 seasons ago.

Sorry. I know many are in mourning and others are full of passion and seeking vengence.

But since 1970, they've been my 2nd favorite Buffalo team so I don't follow them that closely anymore (and hence can make ignorant comments like the one above...lol)

It’s hard not to fear that they got an all-time playoff heater from Allen in 2021 and wasted it

That's been my fear since we lost that game. Allen still has a lot of time left, though. But damn, what a waste to have your QB hit god mode, and lose the way they did.

Typical Buffalo sports luck.

Kelce with a non-contact right foot/ankle injury mid-play. He was able to hobble off on his own and walk back to the locker room......but something is quite not right there.

Yeah flipped the game on when cooking dinner and doesn’t look good.

To bring a little positivity to the thread, I think Kincaid is now 17/19 on the season giving him an absurd 89% catch rate.

This game should also give Diggs 100 YPG on the season; he's on pace for a career year on multiple fronts.

And Epenesa had the kind of game that should earn him AFC defensive player of the week. What a monster of a performance.

 

[Dirty Dog]

The season is early, I’m not worried. The injuries absolutely suck though

I still think of them as a team that missed the playoffs for 17 years. Just get in, anything can happen.

it’s a lost season if milano and daquan are out for the year imo. just can’t lose guys like that if you want to go all the way

Teams do it every year. Everyone deals with injuries. MLB is one of the least important positions on the defense, which is why teams don’t pay MLBs crazy money.

Without them, they beat Muami 48-34!

KC perpetually has a horseshoe up their ass on offense

That's been my fear since we lost that game. Allen still has a lot of time left, though. But damn, what a waste to have your QB hit god mode, and lose the way they did.

I still can’t believe he gave them the lead twice inside the final 2 minutes and it just didn’t matter

how many core players got hurt on kc and philly last year?

You can’t call every player on the defense core.

Also, Philly won a super bowl with their back up QB.

 

[Waterfowlist]

Not only do they pick up a clear pass interference with no explanation, but they don’t call a clear unsportsmanlike.

Unbelievable.

Nantz and Romo carrying water hard for KC.

They’d never pick that flag up on Mahomes

Milano, Jones, and Tre are not core players? Having 2 all pros out for the season, along with potentially season ending injury to your dominant nose tackle…. doesn’t make a difference????

i’m sick of this ‘injuries happen to every team’ nonsense. KC doesn’t win the superbowl last year without their all pro DT chris jones. it just doesn’t happen. the Foles playoff run was once in a lifetime occurrence. 99% of the time these injuries doom teams.

you don’t have to live in denial. it’s ok to accept reality. the Milano and Tre injuries will have a profound impact on our ability to beat teams in the playoffs. there is no rational counter argument. extreme luck carrying you to victory is not an argument. it’s delusional

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Bills losing gets me so upset. London games, wish Bills had no part in those. Losing Milano that's super tough. I'm just feeling very frustrated.

If your bar for core players is Daquan Jones, you’re right, there is no rational argument to be had here. The guy has had a great start to the year but has been a career replacement level player. Milano and Tre are big losses, no doubt. But the sky is falling stuff around here is non-sense.
