The Texans defense did something I have been screaming for the Bills defense to do all season. Slap the ball out on a tackle.

Can you imagine if we had that level of quality, depth and skill on Defense? Well coached too. So basically the opposite of us.

A Good OC has a counterpunch for that. Notice I said good.....

Fire Brady right now. Like before the end of the 3rd quarter.

OMG the 3rd holding penalty on our STs.

Bills player tripped on punt coverage. No penalty from the flag happy refs who hate our STs.

Another Joe Brady special on that drive.

Cant fire himself.

I cant remember a worse Bills defense. Ive been a fan since 1979. Maybe the Hank Bullough team. But not even during the drought. They are consistently bad at the run and the pass and when you need a big stop to win the game you cannot rely on them. Just a joke. How Beane thought they would be ok at the trade deadline and got nobody is just insanity.

Pass interference and they still get a TD on this useless defense.

Once again the complete lack of pass rush bites us in the butt.

OMG the football Gods have given us a miracle!!

Losing the turnover battle again.

Wow just Wow. Why would Josh throw that pass. Stupid rookie mistake.

One of the worst defensive responses of the year from the Bills. If the Bills Dbs would turn around in coverage, they would have two INTs on that drive. If the Bills defenders could learn how to tackle at even a high school level we would be pitching a shutout so far.

Funny how they showed the great play from 2019 playoff game. Pleasant memories of an innovative OC. Night and Day compared to the current garbage.

Another Stellar drive by vanilla Brady.

Great question. I'm guessing nobody. But the refs have to feel relevant.

The Bills seem to have a decent red zone defense (at least I think the stats show that). I think the reason is that the field is so compressed that the usual soft zone of 5 yards is cut down to 2 -3 yards. The line is more stacked as well.

By Tackling like 12 year olds.

Bills run defense and tackling are pathetic.

I think that we would still have a tough time with Burrow if we were fully healthy in the secondary and playing man defense. The key to neutralizing him would be consistent pressure. He wasnt really mobile before and after a turf toe he must be even less. If he has time to throw, we will be dissected.

If we never play Burrow again it will be too soon. Ive never seen a QB that we match up worse against (at least with McD's soft zone defense and weak pass rush). He has looked like a surgeon against us just slicing us up effortlessly. The playoff loss, the regular season loss and even the start of the Hamlin game, Burrow was just moving with ease through our defense. We might have beaten him had we got pass the Chiefs in the 13 seconds game as he hadnt quite got to the elite level yet, but we never got the chance. Since Burrow came to the NFL we have never figured out how to confuse him or neutralize him. He seems to read our defense easily like an early reading book for kids.

Sometimes I wonder if Brady's is written on a napkin? 1. Run 2 Run 3. Run 4. Touche push 5.Pass to someone whos open 6. Lateral slant pass 7. If nobody is open, QB runs. 8. See #1

Early in the McD era when we had these national games, McD and his coaches came up with really solid gameplans. The Thanksgiving day beatdown of the Cowboys was a great example. Lately though, the plans have been a little hit or miss. I really hope that we start strong on both sides of the ball and McD really focuses on his game management. The last game against Houston last year where he gave away the game by passing 3 times and not killing the clock then going for prevent D when the Texans got the ball back (resulting in an easy completion that put them in FG range and won them the game) was 2nd only to 13 seconds for the dumbest coaching of the McD era. We just cant afford to lose this game.
