    Offensive ineptitude

    Can't blame the refs.
    Can't blame the defense.
    Can't blame special teams (well, maybe a little...the fumble and missed FG didn't help)

    This loss is all on the offense and their inability to make plays, sustain drives and put points on the board.

    They had so many chances in the first half. So many opportunities and did nothing.

      Taylor was really lacking this game. There were many open receivers. The guy won't throw it unless someone is wide open. Loss is on him as far as I'm concerned.

        Remember that old Carville quote, "It's the Economy Stupid." Well in Buffalo it's the QB. We had guys open and couldn't hit the dagger throws that would have put us in a position to win.

        Ball to McCoy had way too much air under it, under threw an open Hogan, under threw Sammy twice when he had space against Butler. It's the QB. Tyrod's the best available option on the team, but he's not a long term solution. So until then, we can blame the gameplans, what was Roman thinking on 3rd and inches, we can blame the OL, but ultimately it's the QB stupid.

          Tyrod was off all day. Very unlike him too. I wonder if there is more to it. Going into the game he led the league in compl % yet was off the mark on many throws.

          I'll be interested to hear if there was a reason for it.

            Tyrod Taylor = JP Losman. To a 'T'. Or, more accurately, a 'TT'.

              Take away the Dolphins games and look at his body of work.

              And when he missed last night, he really missed.

                What's really going to be interesting is what is going on with his shoulder/collarbone. For all intents and purposes, the guy got hurt playing two-hand-touch.

                  A good QB last night - and the Bills win. Brady was totally frustrated at points in the game.

                  Same old story - Buffalo is the Isle of Misfit QBs. The team has desperately needed a QB for more than a decade; but they keep taking other teams' back ups and trying to elevate them to starters. Without a good QB - the team is going nowhere.

                  This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
                  per play average than the Bills' offense!

                    No kidding. But to his credit, he stayed in the game. On the very same play, Watkins tweaked his ankle and took himself out.
                    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                      OK. This parallel makes ZERO sense.

                        As bad as Taylor was, I'm glad he had the sense to keep EJ off the field.

                          Why?

                          Athletic.
                          Decent, but not great, arm strength.
                          Hits the occasional real pretty long ball.
                          Struggles throwing to the middle of the field.
                          Can't 'throw a receiver open', he already has to be.
                          Holds on to the ball too long, too often.
                          Doesn't appear to have very much ability in rolling through progressions.

                          Who is it?

                            He was indeed culprit number 1 yesterday. Left plays all over the field. He was wildly inaccurate, couldn't read the defense and made no effort to look past his 1st read. In other words he was EJ Manuel. Just a horrendous outing from him. He needs a bounce back game big time vs Kansas. So far he's been middling all year long aside from the games vs the ****ty fish and colts. All the others have been very meh.

                              I blame Bill Belichick's defense for the Bills offensive ineptitude.

                              The Bills made Brady look bad.

                              Brady was 20/39 (51%) for 277 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int

                              Tyrod Taylor was 20/36 (56%) for 233 yards, 0 TDs, 0 Int
