Looked like an awful lot of snaps for Deone Walker in that half.

Something to keep an eye on in the 4th qrtr.

it’s a helpless feeling when your D can’t get stops 

Or just runs zone defense on 3rd and long.

Did Tre get hurt or did they just make a switch to Hairston mid quarter?

[RichRiderBills]

I don't think that should have been called on. Alex Anderson. He didn't really pull the guy forward more like he lunged backward and pushed the guy down. That wouldn't be a penalty.

If we have a 1-3 point lead late in a playoff game, I have absolutely zero confidence that we’ll stop the other squad from marching down the field to win or tie the game. You all have convinced me that we have to get new leadership in asap. The team has gotten stale and devoid of emotion. 

Allen and the offense need to go on a run for the ages to win a SB. 40 points per game.

Trey has been god-awful in what I've seen today. His one breakup there was just a lucky drop

This D is incredibly bad. Not sure what the solution is but the Bills need a retool including both players and the coaches. Easy to say harder to do when a team us up against the cap. Oh well back to football purgatory for the Bills. 

 

Maybe they'll have the D players take a nap at the half with pods next to their cots.

AND he's getting absolutely NO HELP, both his DL partner and the lousy lbs. Pathetic.

Defense is soooo bad

[dpberr]

Let's play some *more* zone.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Back and forth we go!

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Defensive coach, defense sucks. The solution looks pretty simple 

[BillsFan130]

Tampa only on pace for 470 yards of offence.

Cant really ask much more for that when their top receivers are out with huge wind gusts..

[Special K]

TD to start the half would be huge!!!!!

 

Let's go!!!!!!

[RichRiderBills]

Too many linebacker issues right now. The loss of Shaq Thompson is really hurting us. 

 

Bernard has a couple nice plays. But I don't know how you can say anybody played a decent game giving up 20 points.

Need to hire someone else to do the picking and signing the players

We completed 8 or 9 total passes, barely  50%, are minus 2 in turnovers, sub 10 min possession and are up one point.  Insane outcome

He's had his own share of struggles too, getting run out of multiple plays.

Although I will say, he seems to get held an awful lot.

Well, this one is a roller coaster. 

 

Go Bills

The most immediate thing that is apparent is defensive lineman not getting off blocks. And linebackers getting chewed up by blockers. They are too small and are not playing well or taking good angles.
