And this is the 3rd straight game that Stafford had over 50+ throwing attempts.

Who cares... bills run defense is pretty good and we had little luck running it.

The offense scored 20pts in the 4th quarter and had it won in overtime.

Could give a shit how many times we ran it or passed it - meaningless.

Josh Allen ran the ball 5 times for 4 yards against the Patriots.

Against the Rams he ran it 10 times for 121 yards.

There is clearly a problem here. Is it strategy? Shula did not have a spy. Is it personnel? Landman is not particularly athletic. I am not saying it's all his fault. But clearly there is a flaw.

This team has some dysfunction. Which brings me to special teams. McVay will say they will fix it. They won't. They had all off season to fix it. They didn't. Now we have come full circle from not just missing kicks, but to having them blocked.

Didn't you just kind of know it wouldn't go well? Didn't you have that feeling?

McVay took the game out of Stafford's hands and put it in Meavis's foot. I don't know if he has a blind spot with special teams or what. But he needs to recognize how bad they are and play around them as much as possible. This isn't getting fixed this year. Accept it and move on.

There are no super teams. Garrett won't fix this. Special teams are a fatal flaw. And gameplanning for special players is a must. You can't play a Josh Allen like you play other quarterbacks.

The two big failures were special teams and defensive coaching tonight. It cost them the game.

But this is who they are.

They must figure out how to cover for their flaws. Don't leave it to your kicker. Yes, being able to have a Cam Little would be a luxury. They do not have him. Own it.

It's a shame this team is 2-3 but it is probably who they are. They are sometimes erratic. Dysfunctional. But they are loaded with talent.

Loaded.

And sometimes that can overcome the other stuff. Sometimes it can't.

We have a QB and a lot of strong personell on the team - roster more than capable of winning a super bowl.

However we continue to fuck it up with bad ST, bad coaching and poor complimentary football.

Yeah…. And it’s fine.

If you’re right.

But they weren’t.

They kept X Smith… mistake.
They didn’t add any explosive athletes who could contribute immediately on Teams. Mistake.

Getting zero out of first two picks. No good.

I thought Klare has high athleticism. They should be getting some ST contributions from him.

The reason that you throw the ball on both second and third down instead of going for a 48 yard field is that anything longer than 40 yards is reaching the limits of Mevis' range. That is why he has been wide on anything over 40 recently, because he is straining to reach the distance, which sacrifices his accuracy.

We had total control of the clock, the offence was rolling and the Bills had no answer for Kyren Williams, Puka, Higbee or anyone else. We should have gone forward for a TD.

McVay should have seen this, and he also should have observed from practice that Mevis cannot be counted to reliably hit anything beyond 40 yards. NFL kickers are generally so good now that anything up to 50 and even beyond are basically chip shots.

McVay should have had the offence go for a td, won the game and then replaced Mevis this week, as you can not reasonably have a kicker who you cannot count on to make the kicks that Mevis has been missing.

What is most alarming is the long-running ineptitude and glaring incompetence of our special teams units, our continuing inability to close out sacks, our poor tackling particularly in clutch situations , our failure to contain or restrict running QB's, and our inability to cover the short passing routes in the interior of our defence.

Of particular issue is that McVay clearly has not prioritized special teams, and it shows.

McVay's field goal decision just shouldn't have made given all of the known circumstances. It was stupid given the flow of the game and the known weaknesses of our kicker and special teams.

Another winnable game just got pissed away tonight

McVay needs to learn how to keep is foot on the gas wither its passing or running.

Wouldn't surprise me if they trade a future 7th for a kicker from a bad team who is decent. Same for a return guy

While it's frustrating that we never seem to have a kicker who can hit up to 58 yards, the Rams don't need that. They need someone who can hit from 50 and less at a high pct, and someone who doesn't kick out of bounds. That's it. Getting the KO in the Landing Zone would be a huge bonus. But like a prior post said, just don't lose the game.

Posted this a few days ago on a Special Teams thread. Damn - I wish I wasn't right....

Tired of this team ripping my heart out and tired of giving a shit. I really wish I didn’t care. Special teams has made it almost impossible to enjoy watching my favorite team. Just depressing…

At least you didn't have to suffer the heartbreaks of the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s and 1990s well you get the picture. I lived long enough to see one (Los Angeles) SB title. I'm not content with it, but the game is so unpredictable these days I'm not going to cry over a regular season game.
 
Unacceptable, another special teams lost. Hell, if they would not have allowed a 70 kickoff return they win the fucking game. Missed kicks. The play calling right before the missed OT kick was HORRIBLE. We had been throwing short passes to Puka all night. Get the first fucking down and end the game with a TD.
Could have thrown short safe passes to Puka, Devante or Higgs. Live and die with them over Mevis. Stafford, he did have that early miss to Puka they could have ended up in a TD. But we wasted a great 4th quarter comeback. The players and coaches owe him more.
Its sucks.
But I see a pissed off Rams team with 5 wins in a row coming up. Garret will be back in those games too. So will the big red TE.
7-3 does not sound too bad.
