Buffalo Bills Week 17: New York Jets (4-11) at Buffalo (12-3), 12/29, 1:00 PM, CBS

Jones has been a HUGE disappointment to me this year. He's nowhere CLOSE to what he was last year. I think that's then affecting Oliver.

I've been largely pleased with Groot/AJE/Von/Toohill....and Smoot has been very good wherever he plays this year.

DT should be a top priority in the offseason if Jones can't get his game right, it's a major hole right now.

Last thought is whoever told McDermott to challenge is insane unless there’s a 5d chess explanation

Coleman went to locker room, concussion suspected

........I wonder if Demario Davis from New Orleans would be available, and if he has anything left in the tank.

Terrible decision!

Calais Campbell played an amazing game for Miami

Been good all season.

Hope he'll be ok

Beane needs to find an upgrade for the LB group. Even if they are banking on Milano’s return, I doubt he’ll be at a place where you won’t need to rotate him out.

Isn't it highly likely he'll be injured again as well?

Phew. 7-2 feels good. Take care of the Colts next week before the gauntlet

Is it a gauntlet though? KC yes, but we get SF at home off our bye week. (them vs GB) Rams are meh.

If we go 2-2 in next 4 we night have clinched the division before the Lions game

Maybe or maybe not. But I just think you need to make at least that move.

Depends how healthy they are. Home to SF and away vs LA are absolutely difficult games if they get healthy. Both teams have struggled with injuries through the first half.

Of teams we don’t matchup well with, yes

Eh, I didn't like the timeout management. Both times with about 40 seconds left they used a timeout, felt they could have gotten to the line and saved the timeout. Worked out, and certainly you could argue that getting that in the first half it was after an Allen run, and 2nd half it was a important play on 3rd and 3, so maybe more of a me quibble than anything else.

I think you're underrating the bye week factor in the SF game

Fun fact:

Waddle ended the game with -4 receiving yards thanks to the last play.

Officially: 2 catches, -4 yards, long of 12, 1 TD.

I think it’s a fair criticism along with the bad challenge, but on the whole I think they did a pretty good job limiting the fins

what the heck is going on with the defensive line. No pressure, can't stop the run. I feel like on 70% of the run plays the safeties were forced to make the tackle.

They have a officials consultantant on staff...

Ankou helped last week, not this week. Scheme questions and effort needs to be asked about after the excitement of today.

They’re missing Myles Garrett

I think you're overrating it. Still have to play the game

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I think you're overeating it. Still have to play the game

Also, it's not a good matchup for us with the way a Shanahan offense can run the football, doesn't matter who the back is.

 

[Dingo44]

Bills are 7-2 and second in the conference.

Fire the coach.

I'm pretty sure Tua got rid of the ball in under 3 seconds on most drop backs. They ran the ball so well there weren't a ton of 3rd and long opportunities. I have issues with the d-line and LB play for other reasons, but lack of pressure wasn't the issue. Letting them run all over us was.
