That game was a microcosm of the last 13 years...

[Thurmal]

Had everything that explains the Bills' ineptitude:

-- awful quarterbacking
-- defense that can't get off the field on 3rd down
-- questionable officiating
-- terrible play-calling

[Scumbag College]

That about sums it up...I'll add:

-lack of fire or any sense of urgency
-horrible clock management
-little to no halftime adjustments

The Mayans were right.

The calender IS circular.

This is the same kind of lousy play we saw in 2000.

After 11 games, tons of threads on wondering if we're good, will we make the playoffs, do we have enough to turn the corner....we've won 4 games. 4 out of 11 games and 4 of those 7 losses were blowouts. We haven't turned any corner. We aren't close to being a playoff team.

I wouldn't say that the Bills aren't close to being a playoff team. All they need is a QB, WR, 2-3 LBs, a CB, a safety, resign Levitre and Byrd, a coaching staff, and a competent owner under 90 years old....

Doh!

Both teams had 12 men on the field.

Just...incredible.

i don't think we need all that. A good QB goes a long way.

[Skooby]

I'll add several points:

The screens are most useful if you draw the opponents towards the QB more & then start CJ or others in the second level, 4 yard starts aren't as effective as 7 yard start.

We kept trying to center the ball for FG versus calling plays for TD's.

Getting aggressive with the half winding down deep in your own end isn't as intelligent as when your inside your opponents 30.

If you're down a TD score midfield with 3:25 to go on 4th down, you don't punt.

Chan Gailey. Worst head coach in Bills history.

Step aside, Hank Bullough.

We haven't turned any corner. We aren't close to being a playoff team. To which Mark Poloncarz shouldn't even come close to considering renewing the lease.

Here's a reminder: 31 of 32 teams have made the playoffs since the expansion to 32 teams. Every other NFL team has done it in that time span... except Buffalo. This is not an NFL team. An NFL team makes the playoffs once in a decade. For those of you wanting to keep an NFL team in Buffalo, that ship sailed long ago. This is a UFL-caliber team playing in the NFL.

Our defense only gave up 13 points...good enough to win with most teams. Ugh.. .

Special teams are a part of the game too.
