11/16/25 GAMEDAY Bills vs Buccaneers 1st Half Game Thread

[Alphadawg7]

People wanted this.  They wanted the old Josh.  Well here you go, you got him.  The guy who led the league in turnovers over his first 4 years or what not.  The guy who pushes the ball when he shouldn't be.  I mean Ty is wide open for the easiest first down, who according to Josh is the best 3rd down back in the NFL, yet he isn't even looking for him on 4th and 2 and instead trying to first look down field.

Allen is just off this year.  Prove me wrong.  Happy feet, mis reads, head in the clouds, arm strength seems off too

This team has no fight, small LB's, and Taron is on the field waaayyyyy too much. 

McD loves his nickel zone D. Even after giving up 100 yards before the half!

[Nitro]

McD has to make change in personnel and thinking in the second half.  Defense is worn out.

[H2o]

We need an overhaul. FO, coaching staff, and both sides of the football. 

[PauleeeWalnuts]

I guess the other team “wants it more” again. A loss today is going to be too much to climb back from imo

Wouldn’t say we’re being out coached…..if Josh stops making dumb mistakes and we actually tackle on defense this game is different.

We have already given up 135 yards rushing in the first half. Our defensive coaching is the reason we are losing 

[RichRiderBills]

I honestly think the play calling we're seeing from Brady now is just as bad as when Dorsey got fired. 

 

It was solid last year. Brady gave us a boost for a little bit and the offense last year worked in a lot of different ways. 

 

Josh is just not taking the checkdowns. He's not taking an easy short passes and letting ya rule the day. 

 

But the tendencies are just stuck some flawed thinking like why wouldn't you try to run the ball today?

But hey- we beat the chiefs.  

Beating the Chiefs in the regular season has become an annual tradition. 

[BillsFan130]

Bills are still playing a ton of 2 deep safety. It's honestly just mind boggling.

 

Especially considering the wind today and that Tampa has their top 2 receivers out

There have been like five bad throws on Allen today. That was just one of them. 

One cost a touchdown. Another cost a 4th down conversion, You okay with that?

It seems every team has a great play on 4th and short. We look like a desperate high school team. Brady is horrible.

He ran a pick to get Johnson wide open in the flat. It’s a great play if Josh actually makes the right decision.

That little swing pass plays into the strength of our defense 

exactly. The one thing we can stop. TB should be grinding it right up the middle.

Tampa is too tough

Actually, no.

 

Poor tackling and play recognition by our linebackers.

 

Poor vision by our QB.

 

We are beating ourselves.

Can we call that an arm punt from Josh?

 

Only if we accept that it was shanked.

[JMM]

Poor Walker, he's actually ok, they ate simply PLOWING whoever is next to him. And the LBs? Joke
