Bills beat themselves, plain and simple, from the first throw of the game. Gifted the Titans 3 drive starts in the red zone.

Exactly.

Mental errors galore.

They didn’t have it today.

Too many unforced errors

Josh was off (it happens)

Waaaaay too many pre-snap penalties (that’s on coaches)

Suddenly next week turns into a must win or the season could change VERY quickly

Roberts was not himself

Special teams, drops, bad throws. It was just ugly

Beaner needs to find a 1 gap guy, fast.
Biggest, most consistent weakness.

The rest I get, injuries, etc.

I'll just repost this:

It's hilarious listening to the announcers pretend the illegal practice never happened and defend Roger Goodell. It sounds like state-run radio in North Korea

It's good the Supreme Leader made these decisions!

Was the only penalty on Tennessee, when they purposely delayed the game, for better punting position?


Scrap this one and move on

Yep bad game, wake up start over. At least we only have to prepare for 1 team this week.

By the way vrabel is a dbag - passing up 3 tds and running up the score. Once a patsydbag always a patsy dbag. We’ll see the titans again

It’s a joke.

I hate to say it but I knew the Bills would poop the bed. They got (frank)ed with by the NFL. These guys are creatures of habit, and have to worry about traveling on different days and playing a team with a freaking Covid outbreak

And I’m kinda sure White and Brown both didn’t play because of it.

Also Bills players should go get Covid so they have 2 weeks to rest and the NFL can gift them bye weeks.

Then the Bills opponents won’t know when they are playing and will have to prep for the Bills and another team.

Coaches don't forget these games.
Total d'ck move. play action fake for a td

We were out of time outs.

Exceptional qb play
Marginal running game
Solid Tennessee d.

Bill's marginal qb
Terrible run game
Worse defense

This poop happens.

Fluky INT to start the game, weird week, injured D and it just kept rolling downhill from there.

True... but he looked really bad
Throwing passes behind WRs all night

Lots to get fixed before we play KC

It isn't going to matter how Josh plays against KC.

The way this D is playing, Mahomes and Co. might put up 50+.

Have you heard anything regarding us still talking to the Flames ?

Apparently there may still be some smoke there

Really wonder about tre and covid concerns?

I could see McDermott taking over play calling duties from Frazier like he has done before. Plenty of excuses with the people out but this is week 5 of bad D just the same

In regards to upcoming arbitration, could someone give out some scenarios?

Ullmark can get how many years?
Can we walk away if his awarded too much
He cant walk away right?

Only the team can walk away and that's if its more than 4.5 million

Can get 1 or 2 years

I don't think the play calling was bad, just bad execution really bad execution

Plus not having Milano and White

Then the OL with the late scratch of Spain, and no John Brown, with Beasley in and out of the lineup all game.

Then Josh missing

Then the drops (which were a bunch) Knox is bad like really bad

Yeah, I agree. We'll see where it goes with KC. Thankfully it's the hapless jets afterwards. 5-2 in all likelihood going into the the Pats game.

Hopefully by then they clean the D issues up at least somewhat
