Right now, I'd say we're bad enough that we can lose to al 31 other teams and only good enough to have a chance to beat about 12 of them. That's shitty, especially with our schedule.

I don’t necessarily mind 1-2 - let’s be honest, with the Chargers and Bills in the first 3 weeks, many of us assumed it. It’s the way we are losing which is via a horrible defense that was supposed to be the team’s strength. If they were just average, we’d be in a different place.

I also disagree with the point re bad officiating. It definitely contributed to the Bills extending multiple drives leading to points, and probably caused our inexperienced QB to press more as a result. These things snowball and it definitely felt that way yesterday. To be clear - would it have changed the outcome? Perhaps not, but it would have probably prevented the drubbing.

Come on, this D yielded nearly 500 yards to an offense that was described as struggling and a QB who was supposed to not be playing well, and we gonna complain about a couple of missed holdings (which happens every single NFL game) and a ticky tacky OPI ?

You wanna talk bad officiating, how about that incomplete pass by Herbert that was ruled a fumble and touchback ? And that phantom hold that took Jones TD off the board ?
Was Payne held on that 3rd and 15? Yes. Do officials miss the same kind of holds every game? Yes. Was the OPI call on McKissick ticky tacky ? Yes. Was it a foul by rule and did he sell it awfully bad? Yes.

Point is, bad officiating and missed calls happen all the time, I didn't think we were getting blatantly robbed by the Zebras in this one. We lost because our D played even worse than the 2 previous weeks. Which was already really ugly.

This game was not "a couple bad calls" away from being close. They moved the ball with ease.

We suck and we got our asses kicked. We are on a collision course for 3-6 wins tops. After our toss up game with the Falcons we are looking at 9 straight weeks of humiliation.

Then it looks like your going to free up a few hours on your Sundays.

If people can bitch and whine about this loss being the end of the world, let us complain about the bad officiating.

You can agree that both the team sucked and lost this game in a bad way, AND officiating in the first half was pretty atrocious. They are not mutually exclusive.

I don't think officiating was atrocious. I think there were a couple of questionable calls like in every single game.
I don't think it affected the game that much.

If not for the past 30 years, the vast majority being a lot like the last three weeks, I might not either….

If we're still getting our asses kicked 8 weeks from now I'm questioning everything.

But historically we're a team that has always started slow. When was the last time this team was ready to go out the gate? 91?
