The fans keep buying the holding call was missed?

24-3 is horrible.

Allen is not good enough to make up for bad cast.

There guys make the 50/50 catches.

Such a horrible half of football.

24-3. Worse half of season?

Not bench. He’s down 3-24, do it to protect him.

Do you put in Trubisky after the half? 3-24 no momentum. Or give Josh the first drive of second half?

Allen has been under constant pressure. D is just teeing off him. He’s constantly running for his life.

Our offense has 3 points in 3 drives.TB has 17 in 3.

Our offense HAS to score more than 3 points per half.

Great defense, better offense. Bucs now 1/2 on red zone. Bills 0/1. Gotta score TDs.

Good drive there but need to be able to run the ball inside the 5 to score points. 2 runs from the 3 I like our chances. Need to be deliberate.

Great red zone stand by the D. Come on offense. Get some points.

This isn’t going well.

Bad run defense, and no run offense. Gotta upgrade DL & OL in off-season.

While I don’t think this is possible for reasons mentioned above, you could make this argument based on actual evidence. If the NFL HQ was trying to manipulate this outcome they would influence the officiating crew to not call penalties in particular offensive holding. Think of Harris’ 60+ yard TD on MNF. You would need to analyze the ALL-22 and find a holding penalty not called. It looked clean to me. Simply a case of the Patriots blocking scheme enveloping the entire front 7 of the Bills. In short we have prior evidence of the Patriots cheating (SpyGate & DeflateGate) to win games. The NFL in both cases came down on the Patriots hard. Similarly BountyGate resulted in major suspensions for Gregg Williams & Sean Payton. I don’t see this as an option, because the integrity of the game is more important than who wins the game.

If I’m the Bucs I run every play. The Bills defense has been beaten up against the run.

Wyatt Teller was jettisoned for a 6th rounder. In 4 years Beane has found one starting OL through the draft.

Brady will likely hand it off 50 times and throw only 5 times for 5 TDs to Gronk. It could get ugly.

This team doesn’t deserve a playoff spot, unless they finish 5-0 or 4-1. Total fraudsters.

Knox sucks. Hands of stone.

So much negativity I might as well jump in. Sullivan is right, they had their ass handed to them in a unique way. Could not stop an offense running goal line formations.

To be fair to McD how often do teams play 4-3 base defense when they are facing a run heavy set consisting of 6 OL, 2 TEs, 1 FB & RB?

Of course it won’t be, but to think there will be zero passes of consequence is wrong. Remember the Baltimore playoff game last year - strong winds played a significant role, and the team with the stronger armed QB prevailed.
