At every level of football. Its easier to get big runs when the box is full to stop it. One seem is all you need. When you got secondary in off coverage and a saftey deep you have faster guys on angles. Its sucks. The game was a tough watch. The defense stood up and made stops when they had to late. Was it enough to win? Not on Monday night. I think the question many are asking and probably the feeling of the defense themselves is it couldve been enough. In most cases should have been enough to win.

I havent been to a home game in years due to proximity. Imo the constitution of Bills Mafia is terribly low. 7-5 and people are quitting? You quit in the 2000’s. They went on a playoff run you jumped back in. See ya in the playoffs when you give em another chance.

The offense needs to stop chasing something they are not. Look at the defense, find matchups or schemes you can exploit, and attack. That means throw it 59 times throw it. Running to run on first down needs to stop. They cant change anything now. Dance with who you took to prom and figure the rest out later.

I think in the offense Mcdermott and Beane are going to make an effort to change the offense. I believe Mcdermott doesnt like the style of play. When they are clicking its fine but when they cant pass its an issue. The team needs a better back another Te and interior lineman.

The team goes as the offense goes. It goes as Allen goes. Games Allen plays well they normally win. Like 90% of the time. They do not have a curve ball. The Bucs are not a team you try to “enforce your will” against. Buffalo should just accept what they are. They are a pass first team. Mcdermott wants to change that do it in March. Right now move the ball down the field. Design some swing passes and short passes to Beasley. Use that to augment the run game.

Who do you bring in that is an upgrade??

Time is coming for the Bills to put it together. Will they? Idk. Can they? I think so. To win the AFC east Buffalo will need to win out imo. Tampa is a good team as well. Lets see what Mcdermott does. Probably the toughest season in his tenure. The Bucs are a good team. Winning there might provide the team with the swagger and confidence they lost in Tennessee.

14 points. Buffalo had the ball 2 times in the 4th inside the 10 and got 0 points. A team is not dominated when they had 2 separate chances to take the lead in the last 8 mins of the game.

Holding a team to 14 points is not sucking. 14 is less than what Buffalo allows a game. Half the amount of points that New England scores a game. The offense scoring 10 points was the issue.

Still resulted in 14 points and 0 in the 4th quarter. The offense missed too many opportunities.

The other team didnt allow the Qb to throw at all because of the wind. For what it was Josh did a heck of a job, no one outside stepped up and made a play. Diggs catches that deep pass Buffalo very well wins. Alot of ifs. Gotta make the plays. Last year guys stepped up and made plays in tight spots. This year not so much.

This. Also, in the bucket of empty yards… Had to be about 70 plus yards on third and long that came up well short. Im not saying Buffalo was the steel curtain last night but the run dominance is over stated.

Tampa doesnt have the secondary. Front 7 is stout. Lets see what the offense can do. They have been underwhelming.

Buffalo lost the game. Ne didnt win it. Defense tightened up in the second half. Offense makes 1 more play they win the game.

I dont think we can blame Allen for the accuracy of his passing when the other team wouldn’t pass at all in the elements. They didnt want to go 3 and out on those drives.

Gonna leave this here. Tompa Bay was 7-5 last year. Got demolished by the Saints. They went on to do what they did. Outside of the poor game in Jacksonville and the Indy game, they havent been totally out played. Last season Buffalo had an incredible record in 1 score games. This year it flipped the other way. They left little to no margin for error. If they win out or drop one more than win out, they will be a team no one will want to play come playoffs.

Josh wanted to get the ball in the endzone. Beasley would have been a tight play. I would argue 1 that he has made his entire time in Buffalo. Allen got a bit greedy. Defender made a great play.

Diggs brings that it the whole game changes

People are getting stuck in the optics. The defense gave up over 200 yards and 3 passes. Yes they did. How many in the second half and in the 4th quarter. I dont think the defense is at fault. You cant expect a defense to give up 9 points. Buffalo had the ball inside the 10 twice to take the lead and win it. They lost. On to Tampa. Probably only can lose 1 more time at most. Get in the tournament, see what happens.

Brieda doing jet sweeps. Hyde punt return. Brieda and Jones kick return.

Self handicapping. All this talk about Patriots. If they lose it was the winds fault.

Thinking about the Dolphins games I dont see much difference between them and New England. Similar offenses, similar defenses. Buffalo shows they are head and shoulders above both tonight.

Its been awhile

True, I was over exaggerating some. Main point, compare Beane vs Bill over the same time period. Its not close. Also, can’t not include Allen. Legit franchise Qb who was far from a sure thing.

None since Beane was in Buffalo
