Haha I love how the lead up to the game around here was ‘the bucs defense is actually good we will probably lose the game’ and then there was a meltdown anyway because we made some mistakes despite winning the game fairly comfortably 

 Except for the Hail Mary at end. Real time it wasn’t but the replay showed they dodged a bullet 😮💨

There are a lot of whiners on the board.  I think they have been spoiled and have developed a sense of entitlement since 2019.  But I guess that is America in 2023.  Good thing this generation will not have to fight Nazi Germany, or we likely would all be speaking German.  The Greatest Generation--NOT.

Fairly comfortably? You really have to be kidding! The Bills could’ve easily been flagged for pass interference in the end zone and the Bucs would’ve gotten the ball at the one yard line.

I cannot disagree more strongly lol the only receiver in the area literally had no idea where the ball was.  The way people are talking about this is such a ridiculous exaggeration from how it actually played out.  
there was a 0% chance that ball was getting caught. Godwin was likely not the initial target on that play and the pass rush/some defensive traffic prevented him from getting to his spot in time so he was completely turned around …the ball was likely supposed to hit a receiver closer to the start of the end zone and Godwin was camping out to catch a tipped ball.

Respectfully disagree.  PI being called on a Hail Mary like that is about 100-1.

And mike evans could have been flagged for opi which would have offset and the clock was at 0.

They aren’t trying to catch it. They’re trying for a pass interference call….which they CLEARLY should’ve gotten.

That’s true….but the Bills clearly were guilty.

You think that Hail Marys are drawn up with a specific target in mind?

The Bills have been called for DPI on a Hail Mary before.

Yea….no chance when Mike evans is shoving defenders in the back down there lol. Y’all are still broken from the hail Murray which wasn’t even really a Hail Mary so this whole thing is completely ironic 😂. Bucs would hit that play last night probably 1/1000 times. The area the football was supposed to go was very well defended and baker wildly missed so it ended up sailing by Godwin who was getting in position to catch a tipped pass and wasn’t ready for it.

You don’t? 😂. They get thrown to a spot and baker missed it.  You think Godwin was just spinning around in the end zone for fun if he was supposed to be a primary target? Lol y’all are too much 

 

usually the ball is supposed to be closer to the beginning of the end zone so multiple receivers have a shot at a tipped pass 

 

i don’t remember the play you’re referencing but there’s a good chance it wasn’t actually a Hail Mary.  People misuse the term Hail Mary literally all the time…every deep pass to close out a game is not a Hail Mary.  When there’s as many offensive players committing interference as defensive, no flag is coming out period

An actual thought that I had when it looked like the Bills were about to hand a win to Tampa Bay:

 

"If we lose this game, reading TSW is going to be especially entertaining."

 

So thanks, guys, you're the next best thing to an easy win.

lol I was thinking how this place would be burning with such takes as “it’s Allen’s fault for not being Superman” and “Yiu can’t blame the D they are banged up”

More offensive PI. Poyer was mugged, pushed to ground on the HailMary.

 

Maybe God was taking a leak during the HailMary and couldn't wave his magical hand over them...

Oh yeah, clearly, a Hail Mary is drawn up with a specific player/target in mind ....LMAO.

I’m not as comfortable leaving it to the whim of NFL referees. I’ve seen way too many head scratchers over the decades. The bottom line is that the Bills should’ve never been in that situation.
