Johnson might be the dumbest receiver in terms of football IQ. When you lose 3 yards and the 1st down AFTER catching the ball your football IQ needs to be questioned.

Definitely dumbest on the team now that Claypool is gone, it was close before.

With Burress and Bryant as former moron receivers, Johnson and Claypool are in some pretty bad company. The fact that Burress once spiked the ball after a 1st down while still running is pretty hard to beat though.

If you can’t make that hit to a shoulder then might as be touch tackle.

That's why it's getting harder and harder to watch professional sports every year. They have watered down the sports with over regulating every little aspect of the game. I don't buy the expansion has killed competition argument since there are probably enough good players to add another couple of teams. I think the fact that players can't play the game without fear or a penalty is more to blame.

Did I see a slant for 6 yards when we only needed 4 on a 3rd down instead of for 3 yards?

And there’s the Canada special, 3rd and goal from the 21 and they lateral it out 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage. And the kicker misses what should be a routine FG.

Direct snap and then walk up to the line. Genius play call.

Admittedly the offense looks better without Claypool. Addition by subtraction maybe?

Helps that New Orleans is also relative garbage. Worst team we have played yet and it took this long to catch another bad team.

This is very true and in the end this is a draft pick game where the loser wins.

Even if they are, heard we are stuck with this turd for another 3 or 4 games since he was signed from the Chiefs practice squad so we would need to burn a roster spot on another kicker.

Overall, I’m OK if this guy causes a loss from a horrible kick, only helps draft position.

Five and a half feet of snow so far in Orchard Park, NY where the Bills play today alone. Looks like the NFL made the absolute right call to move their game.

Orchard Park ended up with at least 77” of snow.

It’s amazing that with all the faults this team has, special teams stands out as especially inept.

Do you honestly remember a time when the special teams was even as good as lousy?

Maybe when Bobby April was the coach?

A few more runs like that and he can be forgiven since the muff wasn’t lost.

Spillane can’t live off that one goal line stop of Travis Henry. He’s garbage and can’t make routine tackles.

If Devin Bush was an actual 3 down LB Spillane is a special teams only player.

Pickett sucks. I gave him a chance but he is not a franchise QB and never will be. If he went to any other school besides Pitt he would had been a 2nd rounder at best.
