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

[UKBillFan]

Our best defensive drives (eventually, in the second case) have come off INTs.

[Bray Wyatt]

Defense bailed out both of joshs turnovers

[Let's Go Buffalo]

It would be nice to double-dip here!

Tampa has 5 guys out.

Yeah they’re out not practicing hurt. It’s no excuse but it’s visible.

Not sure why TB is even throwing on that 3rd and 5. I guess we will take it.

Literally if they run the ball every single play, they'll win the game lol

What we want, almost as much as a title.

In order to achieve 1 you need to do the other

[dcinmuncie]

If I’m the bucs, I’m never throwing the whole game

 

their drives get killed (except that 3rd and 12) when they go to the air

Have you watched any of cook’s carries this game 

I have. But you need the threat of a run by him to give you some space to operate. It’s basic.

Yeah it’s going to be a quick exit. People gettin fired soon.

I'm thinking they won't. We revel in our mediocrity. Terry won't want to fire anyone before the new stadium opens.

Josh would be looking ten times better against the Bills defense. Not detracting from Mayfield at all but...

 

100%.
 

Also we have fans who don’t know what they’re seeing.

 

For example, they don’t realize Samuel looked the wrong direction on the play that should have been a TD.

Do you honestly think this is an 8-9 team?

Yes. 
 

They’re Jekyl and Hyde IN THE SAME GAME.  That’s the mark of mediocrity. 

[JoshAllin]

Besides bosa no ones going to come close to touching baker

I’ll give him some slack on Samuel because I think that was improvised, Samuel was kind of jogging out there, and it was a 50+ yard pass.

 

The Shakir throw was a straight up

miss though.

Samuel was jogging while Allen was directing him to go deep.  So Samuel just said "meh, I'm just gonna give up on this play"?

It's a possibility the way this defense is playing. Also 9-8 might not be enough let alone 8-9.

[BritishBill]

Need points on both sides of HT here.

 

Got very lucky on 3rd down there. White was nowwhere near stopping that pass. Bad throw saved us

If someone told me this morning that the Bills would finish 8-9, it wouldn't shock me. Maybe 9-8 is closer to the correct #.

Touchdown drive loading

With Joe Brady?  I'd sooner bet on a crappy serious leading to a 3 and out.

The Bills spent all their draft picks and free agent signings on the defensive side. The defense has gotten worse and the offense has also regressed. 

The worst part is that no one responsible for this will be held accountable.

 

So no money went toward keeping Shakir or Cook or adding Palmer or Moore?
