11/16/25 GAMEDAY Bills vs Buccaneers 2nd Half Game Thread

[Nitro]

So much for a getting good field position and getting the lead.  Doing everything to screw it up.  Too many mental mistakes.  

[BuffaloBill]

Bills stop the 2 point attempt

 

Bucs 26 Bills 21

Was Hardman the one who fumbled at the goal line in the playoffs against us two years ago?

Yes in the first AFC championship game against KC in 2021. Bills started off so good in that game lol

[zow2]

Special teams can make up for it with a big TD return. Let’s go!

Respectfully disagree wholeheartedly.

Whole McDumbass is busy letting these guys be themselves and their own identity he isn't running a tight ship to do business. These guys are playing uninspired every week. These guys are playing on pure talent and clearly look undeveloped. The play calls suck, the schemes and choices are poor.

 

This is coaching. 100%

 

Nah, players have to play. Some of the dumb stuff the last two weeks is 100% on the players on the field. That isn't to say the coaching is good, but ultimately you cross the line you have to be accountable and a lot of these guys are making terrible terrible decisions.

He's small, slow, and a lousy tackler. But he understands McDermott's defense!

Just be out of position all the time and make the tackle 8 yards after the LOS.

No excuse.  Fact.  Try to be objective.

It’s a FACT that every team has injuries. It’s an excuse that it’s the reason we suck.

lol screw this team.  I hope they lose out 

It would honestly probably be for the best over the long term. A playoff berth gives them another excuse to run it back for yet another year.

[Special K]

Even if they win this game, the team is just not good enough to compete for a Super Bowl......not giving up on the season, but my enthusiasm is officially "curbed"😡

Then Dorian Williams caught inside. 

 

This linebacking unit absolutely sucks balls. It needs totally remaking.

The conbined skillset of running to the wrong place, being incapable of shedding a block, and not being able to wrap up tackles is unique

They can't win if they can't run the ball. Today, Tampa has stopped the run, so they can't win. 

they are running at will and stopping at will

He got cut for that reason. He was known for costly mistakes at critical moments.
