Bills won the coin toss. So coach’s choice was either to set up the 4th quarter wind or choose which half he wanted to start off with the ball. Whichever half he chooses to start with the ball, he knows he’ll have the wind at his back to start the half because Belichik is gonna choose to have 4th quarter wind advantage. Coach’s choice gave the late game advantage to the Pats, right off the coin toss. Coach should’ve told dabol to come out smoking while they had the wind to start the game, and build a lead to make the 4th quarter wind disadvantage a moot point.

They really (frank)ed it up. Think about the first quarter drive starts. It was there for the taking. They constantly make games bigger than they are and crumble under the self imposed pressure.

That fumbled handoff was brutal. It sure was there for the taking, instead they wound up pissing the whole quarter away until a lucky bounce gave them a break.

McDermott is fine. Good coaches do not grow on trees and McDermott is a good coach. Do you want another parade of Rex Ryan's and Richard Jauron's?

I thought that before this season.

12 games in and I actually no longer feel good about this team. Not after that crap tonight.

The coaching from all phases has been terrible, they have no discipline and they never look ready for gameday.

Coaching.

So in case anyone was wondering: Yes, Tom Brady is the greatest QB ever and Bill Belichick is the greatest coach ever.

Evidence: Tom Brady leaves in free agency, picks the right situation, immediately wins a Super Bowl, with the GOAT coach.

Bill loses the greatest QB of all-time, takes a mulligan with Cam Newton as his QB, then drafts a rookie QB and a little over a year later is the #1 team in the AFC, yet again.

And Buffalo gonna Buffalo all over again.

Dude. I honestly would fire McDermott tomorrow.

Belichick came into McDermott's house, threw the ball 3 times and held the home team to 10 points on national TV running the ball 43 times.

We have Tampa Bay next week. Tom Brady is going to devour us.

7-6. Here we come.

Don't be surprised if we finish 8-9.

Josh Allen getting the Phillip Rivers treatment.

Gross, gross, gross.

Look at these children. Say "Yeah it was embarrassing, next question".

Maybe if you guys had won the god damn game, they would have asked the easy questions.

Blame whatever you want. These two idiots literally sat there and asked how many points they held them to (they apparently thought it was 7) and had to confirm the final score was 14-10.

Pegula sports teams have similar problems.

Their goal is to acquire a superstar then pray it works.

Sabres and Bills are soft and lack killer instinct.

“It's beyond obvious at this point that the #Bills simply aren't good enough at the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball. Sean McDermott likes to think of his team as being physical ... but it's not. It gets pushed around far too often.”

Knox is a bust, safeties get more defensive behind the mic than on the field.

McDermott will follow the Byslma route.

Wind no wind, it didn't matter Josh could obviously throw either way, yes certain things were affected. That fumble by Breida was big, that big run never happens without it. Horrible game plan.

Said that all game long. The play calling was playing scared. We deserved to lose

Let's face facts, McDermott is not getting fired. He just isn't. 4-12 coaches get fired.

This team has flaws. They need to be addressed in the off-season. In the meantime, they need to show some pride and intestinal fortitude and go out and win 4 of the next 5 (at least).

They don't suck, despite what many of you think.

Their losses have mostly been "shoot yourself in the foot" type losses. They are in every game they lose (except Indy), and their point differential (336-196) reflects that. Besides Indy, their losses have been by 7, 3, 3 and 4 points. Yes, they miss way too many opportunities in the red zone, but a play here and a bit more discipline there, and we're the number one seed.

Let's see if they bring it next Sunday.

Just one man's (fan's) opinion.

Need to find themselves again. He isn't the best but they need Feliciano back at LG. Give the Oline a little continuity.

Doesn't seem all to bold anymore. Just Buffalo Sports being Buffalo Sports. This roster should be more competitive than it is as far as I'm concerned.

It's like we are reliving the 89 season all over again. Good news, we'll be going to and losing 4 Super Bowls in a row soon after.
