I love how folks are fixated on a few bad calls but not the huge TD pass to win the game. Lol.

The Bills defense is prone to give up big plays like that.  I don’t know why it keeps happening.  They were selling out to stop a first down and had a terrible match with a MLB on a WR.

My other point I've beaten like a dead horse to no avail .................. in wins Singletary 73 carries and 327 yards.  Losses Singletary 35 carries and 168 yards.  The more carries Singletary gets the better chance we have of winning.  Not because we are a great running team but because running the ball opens up the passing game more.

But many drives in the first half are different if the calls are correct

So the Bills got 3 points out of the first half because officiating was bad?  Tom Brady ran around our D in the first half because officiating was bad?  Was I watching a different game?  Our team sucked in the first half.

Blame the refs for McDermott weakly kicking a 21-yd FG ... blame the refs for the Bills scoring 3 first half points ... blame the refs for McDermott punting w/ 2 mins to go in the 3rd quarter ... c'mon man.

It's funny to me how many eyerolls this comment has attracted ... I guess "blame the refs" is really what a lot of Bills fans think after this loss.  I appreciate the feedback

Maybe they thought the line would get to Brady quick enough but I'm not sure what would have given them that idea.

Also on the long incomplete pass where Diggs was held I think he scores a TD if instead of complaining and throwing his hands up he just tracks the ball.  Allen threw it within a couple of feet and Diggs seemed surprised it was that close.

 

 

As it happened live I said to my son why did he stop?  It was an unbelievable throw by Josh under pressure

By your rationale, and that of the "blame the refs" crowd, the Bills could not have won this game given referee incompetence.  Ok then.  I think better coaching decisions and better play by the players at crucial moments was more important to the outcome than "the refs."

The thing is the playing field in that game was clearly uneven…buccaneers dbs were objectively getting away with more holding than we were…so that makes it more difficult to get better play in the crucial moments.

yes and no. This is really misleading. 
 

By the Bills Totally abandoning the run today in the first half, it really opened up the wide zone runs in the second half. Bucs defense was 100% playing the pass.  If we had come out more

balanced, DS wouldn’t have had nearly the same success. 
 

i think what they did today— pass like 80% of the time and run to keep the rushers honest— is the right formula going forward.

So whats the thoughts on kicking the fg to force ot today but going for it against Tennessee?


Logical - against Tennessee our defence was constantly being shredded so we might as well try and win on offense in normal time. Tonight, the defense seemingly had the Bucs number so was less of a gamble. Of course, we had the dubious call on offense, plus a couple of poor plays, and then Edmunds…

Yes we should have had a first down on the 20 yard line if PI is called, field goal at least.
