Bills don't cash on big opportunities. You could tell they were going to lose by the start of the 2nd quarter. (frank) em

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said the team's offense would have to "figure it out" after their Week 13 loss to the Patriots.
On a wildly windy and frigid night, the Bills generated 230 yards (four yards per play) and ten points, with a single field goal in the second half. "I don't think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight, I really don't," McDermott told reporters after the game. "We were one for four in the red zone. We have to figure that part of it out." Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's red-hot 2020 offense has curdled in 2021, along with every other productive NFL offense, hampered by coverages designed to stop downfield plays. The Bills are averaging about 20 fewer yards per game and 3.5 fewer points per game than they were in 2020. Daboll's job is likely safe from the remainder of 2021, but McDermott's dissatisfaction about Daboll's offense will be something to watch at season's end.

He was also asked about making his top two returners inactive, and pointed to the Patriots' lone turnover when N'Keal Harry had the ball bounce off his face mask and the Bills recovered in the first quarter.

“Yeah, the same reason that they turned it over, the same reason they turned it over on their punt return team, I wasn’t willing to do that," McDermott said. "I wanted to put a guy back there that I trusted that was going to make good decisions with the ball.”

Ouch.

The defense didn't lose the game.

Not an Edmunds fan, though. He can go and take Ford, Morse, etc with him.

7 points on a 64 yard td run

3 points on a 22 yard run when the rb had 1 leg


the d gets 1/3 the blame
the o gets 1/3 the blame
the coaches get 1/3 the blame

it's not their fault they lost

Here's the exchange:

- Poyer: “I mean, what kind of question is that?”
- Hyde: “What are we doing, bro?”
- Poyer: “What kind of question is that?”
- Reporter: “It’s a question. The nation’s going to be criticizing you of (inaudible).”
- Poyer: “I think we gave up seven points? 14?”
- Hyde: “14-10? Was that the final score?
- Poyer: “We made stops when we had to. They made one big run. They’ve got good backs. They kept coming back to a couple runs. I don’t know how you want us to answer that question.”
- Hyde: “That’s funny. We’ll remember that. I’ll remember that.”

As he walked off, Hyde still seemed upset by it.

“This feels like disrespect,” he said. “It’s all about respect. I come here every single week and I answer your questions truthfully, honestly. I appreciate you guys. Don’t do that. Just don’t do that.”

Gluttons for punishment. Tip : Do yourselves a favor and avoid coming in here for a few days after a Bills loss (same with the Sabres). Or sure, let's all rehash the awfulness of last night over and over again and dwell on it for days ! That'll do you well.

What's the point of it all anymore? Eff Buffalo sports.

Just trying to help. I've felt a lot better since I've not been so die-hard in my fandom. I seriously didn't know we were on MNF til like... Saturday. Made the mistake of watching last night's debacle (albeit via the DVR around 10:30 last night, fast forwarded a lot of it). Still sucked doing it that way, but it's still better then watching this bullcrap team live during the broadcast. I feel slightly better than most if you, I'm sure, since I fast forwarded through a lot of the agony.

Take care.
