The butt punt safety hurt us.

[Novacane]

We'd of probably got the ball inside their territory. I like our offense a lot better when they have to score a TD over pussy footing around for a FG attempt. Today was just one of those days. A **** up by them put them in better position to win.

I hear where your coming from but imo the lack of depth on our o line was the biggest contributer to losing this game. The inconsistency with Roten's snaps and not being able to pick up any yards up the middle is concerning. It's clear to me that Josh don't trust what's currently in front of him. He sped up on some plays when he should of just stepped aside. Anyways it's one game and if anything I'm that much more confident in a full squad vs the frauds we just played.

i was actually thinking the same thing but we got the ball near FG position anyway. Dumb penalty near the end there.

Whatever, hard to get upset considering the injuries and the stat sheet.

Don't really agree. They had enough time and only needed a field goal after it. I was pretty comfortable there that Bass would redeem the whole thing.

Field goal would have won it as well

The opportunity to take a 3 point lead at the half should have been taken.

The only reason there was that punt was because Josh Allen screwed up a sure TD pass. **** happens.

This game was too many lost opportunities. The Bills were never going to go undefeated and, they will lose more games. That’s today’s NFL.

That was the plan but the snap was botched. That wasn't a fake snap/throw by design.

Re: The butt punt safety hurt us.

It should have helped us as getting into FG range is much easier than getting into the endzone.

But poor clock management and decision making cost not only at the end of the game but also end of the first half.

I was watching the game and all of us were yelling at the TV at McKenzie to ****ing go out of bounds. He didn't and turned up field for no apparent reason. And the end result of that was a loss where we had no chance at trying a game winner with Bass.

He caught the ball on the 48. Running straight out of bounds makes it roughly a 65 yard attempt.

Our OL was not in condition enough to take that heat for almost 41 minutes.

They were dropping like flies toward the end, when they were needed most of all.

Quick strike was the way to go.

The Mitch Morse absence was critical as he calls the blocking assignments, our backups could not handle the assignment, several poor snaps and the line blocking assignment provided by Morse was very sorely missed.

Josh faced too much pressure, Morse helps in a such a huge way to avoid all of that.

Watching the replay, it looks like he would have went out of bounds around the 42 with 10 seconds left on the clock, but instead turned upfield. He had the angle and the sideline was unprotected. That cuts it to roughly 59, with enough time on the clock for one more fast sideline pass attempt.
