11/16/25 GAMEDAY Bills vs Buccaneers Post Game Thread

[Buffalo716]

Ebbs and flows of a long game and season....

 

But Josh looked happy today for real... He had his smile back

 

He was playing loose ... Aggressive 

 

He has the best pure arm since elway and Marino... He put it on display today 

 

Again good quarterbacks bring out great in Josh... Baker a former number one overall pick... Drafted ahead of Josh.. golfing buddies .. talk trash 

 

This is the Josh Allen that we all fell in love with... He was free he was playing like Brett favre again 

 

Oh three touchdowns passing three touchdowns rushing 

 

Only the second time in NFL history.. and the first time was our boy Josh 

 

Go bills

Did any of our WR Screens work?  Frustrating to see those called on second and long..

Teams seem to be defending those pretty well.

Brady keeps going to Shakir on that bubble screen in really high-leverage down and distance game situations and teams are just pouncing on it. We were fortunate that someone on the Bucs D had a case of the "stup" and grabbed his facemask - completely unnecessary.

He was not going anywhere.

[Kelly to Allen]

Ask yourself which offensive philosophy has a higher ceiling. This game vs Tampa?

 

 

Or the game vs KC?

 

Let Allen be the gunslinger he is!!!

 

My God could you imagine no huddle???

 

Hopefully McDermott & Brady learned a lesson 

[LabattBlue]

Great game by Allen, pitiful effort on defense going against an offense without Evans and Godwin, and Egbuka doing next to nothing.

The Ty TD

[Maine-iac]

I know how enamored Beane is with pass rushing DT's but how bad does our run defense have to be before they try putting a DT that can't be shoved around all day on our roster?  I'm fine with having a roster littered with 3 techs you think can pass rush but there should be at least one guy who can plug up the middle of the field.

Buffalo’s offensive line just had a spirited argument that bordered on turning physical on the bench after a three-and-out possession to start the second half. Unsure what the beef was, but right tackle Spencer Brown had to step in between left tackle Dion Dawkins, who was standing over seated left guard David Edwards. Dawkins kept shoving Brown away, while Edwards tried to push Dawkins back off of him. Edwards eventually removed himself from the area to stand on the sideline by himself.

Not sure what it was regarding but Dawkins didn’t look great today or last week. The communication between he and Edwards led to that first pick by Josh.

Alexa play wgr 550 I’m ready for the drunk callers (hic!)

Pretty tame so far 🤓

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

In the last 4 games we are 3-1 with wins against the 6 win panthers, the chiefs and the first place Bucs. That’s a pretty solid run

[KingBoots8]

Today wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect (on offense).

 

Not sure if this is the plan going forward, but the offense looked like it could take down anyone today. Let’s hope the expectation is to just hang 40+ per game

because you aren’t going to convince anyone. He had a few bad plays, yes but every QB in the league had a few bad plays. The dude scored 3 TDS in the first half. Calling that awful is ######ed. 

So what do you call several offensive possessions where there is a string of bad QB play?

Folks should be able to call bad execution for what it is.

Amazing what happens when Joe Brady actually lets him throw and not run it 55 percent of the time

Edwards was awful today and Dion also seems a little off the last couple weeks.

He looks REALLY fat

Maybe because he was allowed to actually throw the ball downfield today, and not look like some reiteration of Tyrod Taylor dinking and dunking all game.

POINT: Josh Allen had the early mistake interception that cost us 3 points. He later had a 4th down pick in TB territory that actually gained us 10 yards (vs. an incompletion).  He was a little off target on a few passes…

 

COUNTERPOINT:  Josh Allen threw several great passes, some of them while evading the pass rush. He had 3 TD passes to 3 different receivers. He threw for over 300 yards. He ran the ball well and had 3 rushing TDs, with only one being a tush push.  Josh converted first downs with big passes or his own rushes.  He led the team on 6 TD drives and he ran or threw for every single TD!   It’s extremely rare to see a player throw 3 TDs & rush for 3 TDs in a single NFL game. In fact it’s now only happened twice in NFL history, by Josh Allen and Josh Allen! 
 

I think as time passes, this game will be remembered for the incredible “COUNTERPOINT”!

Except for the guy calling asking why we run bubble screens. 44 points with 3 turnovers wasn’t enough. Ignore the tracks that got laid on the D again and ask about a play that has resulted in explosive touchdowns. Hopefully that guy had a DD

[TFBillsfan]

Hoping the Bills figured some things out offensively today. Gotta get Shakir more involved vertically. Great to see them going back to throwing to the back out of the backfield.

 

Defensively, not even sure what expectations are going forward. Can’t stop the run, tackling is atrocious, the soft zone is maddening and our 3rd down D is embarrassing. 
 

Onto to Houston!

Hey numb nuts, he had 3 TDs in the first half including an incredible deep pass on a dead play. If you think that is awful, I recommend you watch literally any other game in the league.

Yes, he had some good plays and he had a string of bad plays. One does not negate the other, both can happen.

That is what I call that.

I call it normal. You are spoiled. No QB plays perfect. The dude is playing in an offense that they practiced for 3 days with a different crew and played in upwards of 40mph wind gusts. He had 3 TDS. You are being ridiculous.

Dawkins was using the key to the city as brass knuckles on our own sideline
