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

[KOKBILLS]

They HAVE to get someone more mobile in there to spy... He's absolutely killing them and the coverage is obviously holding up...

[PoundingDog]

They shoukd not ask Bosa to play coverage. We've seen enough 

[Fixxxer]

🤮

[BuffaloBillsMagic1]

Boss needs to sit

[Kelly to Allen]

Come on defense. Hang in there 

[Billz4ever]

I think this D is actually better against 3rd and short than 3rd and long, even though that's not great either.

Com'on bud he has made some poor decisions out there and missed some chip shots.

 

I don’t disagree. 

 

But my point is simply that expectations are unrealistic.

 

When your QB can have 4 TD’s in three quarters and fans are mad… expectations are too high.

good lord Bosa that ws horrible on third down.....

 

enough of dropping DE's into coverage specially arguably your best one on third down

Reminds me of when he stopped against Mahomes on that 3rd and 17 play. 

[PayDaBill$]

Where’s big play Gabe? Hang nail?

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

That was a brilliant play call. Zone blitz, led to a free rusher, and baker even scrambled right into the spy. The problem is Bernard is gimpy, and baker is going to always juke out a DE in space.

Bosa seems to make at least 1 head scratchingly bad decision each game

Business decisions. If he can get a sack he is there for it. Squaring up and tackling in the run game? Leave it out

Bernard getting gashed on run defense, and TB will finish wit 250 yards rushing but OK. 

and yet the announcer says that Bernard has been playing great today 😞

[Nitro]

This game is going to be one where who has the ball last wins.

[philholbroo]

The defense is nothing new, and is possibly a big reason josh pressing too hard this year.

[BuffaloBill]

Bills badly need a stop here

[TFBillsfan]

Bills gonna give up another 200 yards rushing! McDermott has NO ANSWERS!

 

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[Scott7975]

50 picks on the defense and it’s terrible.

That is where Hoecht made a difference. That was him in the game and a half he played and was like a missile in those 2 point stance interior rush looks. Bernard needs to start yeaterday to get there.

Hoecht is a major loss. I dont think people outside of the fans (media, etc) realize.
