The Miami game was a lot worse IMO. Houston has an insanely good defense. Miami is a terrible team in every way and they kinda dominated us.

I meant in terms of pass protection. Houston D elite, clearly. 8 sacks. With this QB. Absolutely insane.

After all that had Prater just made an xp or Brady not har a horrific 4th and 2 call Bills probably win or go to OT at minimum

Game probably plays out very differently if not for that extra point. Like maybe we don't even get a final possession because Houston decides to go for it on 4th down instead of trying to prevent a field goal. Not to mention with how early in the game that extra point was, there's like 50 minutes of game that changes.
 
It's almost as if forcing these men to play an actual tackle football game with 2.5 days rest leads to more injuries. And the later in the year you go, the more essential recovery is. NO THURSDAY GAMES UNLESS YOU ARE COMING OFF A BYE

Bills and Sabres are perennial MASH units.

Pegula needs to upgrade the training and medical staffs of both franchises but he’s too cash-strapped to until the new stadium is open.
 
Bills lost 70 yards on sacks.
Titans only gave up 3 sacks to the Texans last week and they had been sacked more than anybody going into that game.

put a call into Dabol to serve as a consultant. its time to get desperate.

If you were told the Bills would have a 100 yard rusher, 100 yard receiver, and hold the opponent to 2-12 on 3rd down conversions, you'd probably feel pretty good about our chances.
 
Seasons like this for the Billls makes it easier to be a Cowboys fan: no expectations so no disappointments. Hope the Bills can get things righted.

Houston OL has generally been poor for awhile now and we had 0 sacks.

Yup, Bills DL is such a mash unit we couldn't take advantage and have 1 sack in 3 games. Bosa is playing hurt to and Rousseau has been abysmal rushing the passer. Fox should be active next week but beyond not sure there's much we can do. Hoecht and ED are massive losses and it does't help that Carter and the Rookie DE are also out for the year. That's 3 DE's gone plus multiple secondary pieces in Rapp, Hamlin and Strong and now Bernard as well.

Still think we need to lean toward cleaning house. McDermott has done an incredible job but we've reached his ceiling, we need to make a move.

This is funny. Such an awful call considering the game flow.

I absolutely don't want this to be the playcall there, but I would say that if the OL does its job, we probably pick up the 1st down. Instead the line abused us as they did most of the game. Not sure I would have felt particularly great about a QB sneak with the way our line was playing either but definitely would have preferred that over this.

My thing is, you can’t say “well the play call is fine because Cook is the best weapon….. but the OL didn’t do its job”. The OL was struggling mightily and just stopped Cook on third. That’s all part of it. If everyone does their job perfectly every play you’d pretty much succeed every time. The handoff was telegraphed completely and not shockingly got destroyed.

Even if the line wasn't getting abused, I just absolutely hate delayed handoffs like that counter when you just need 1 yard. Tbf the way our offense was playing I don't know what play we could have really been confident in anyways, but yeah, just a bad performance in so many ways.

It's pretty comical at this point how made of glass the defense is. Every. Single. Year.
Love Herbstreit acting like Bernard was the big one. Probably not a top 9 injury they have.
