11/20/2025 Bills @ Texans 1st half game thread

[Kirby Jackson]

Do we hold every single return or just 97% of them

[BRH]

How was that a hold?

[Billz4ever]

2nd hold on ST.  

[muppy]

enough with the penalties already SMH Its exactly what I did NOT want tonight 

[Urban Achievers]

Who from this board can put on pads for a single play feel confident they could run for 2-3 yards against our defense. Not me but I figure there’s a few of you 😂

[streetkings01]

Special teams with 2 straight holding penalties 🙄

[TFBillsfan]

For cripe sakes! Get it together ST!!!!!

When we get our next DT, I dont want to hear penetrator...I want to hear stout and a space eater, who can anchor. NT

That’s what walker is. Even on the duo or occupied both blockers and did enough to keep the 2nd lineman from clearing away into the 2nd level. This is a linebacker issue

I genuinely can’t blame scheme. We’re in position. They just can’t tackle for ***** 

The scheme sucks too. I saw Johnson and Bernard get caught in the wash

He’s clearly playing hurt and slow.  Fascinating to watch in prime vision 

At the NFL level I don't think you could play that hurt and be that much of a liability for your team

 

If he really is that hurt we should be dressing someone who could at least run a bit

 

[Jalan81]

How was that holding?

[Virgil]

This is the kind of game where ST could be the difference maker

Not going to improve till McDermott is gone.

Why are you getting eyerolls?  Are they looking up during run plays, too?  This D is absolutely swiss cheese and has been. 

[Blank Stare]

Special teams back to normal. 

[Southern McButterpants]

And ST is unable to runs play with out taking a flag. 🙄

Texans stopped the Texans on that drive.

yeah you can imagine what the Texan fans are saying on their forum right now. 

[Ralonzo]

So last week's special teams performance was an aberration and they're back to being plain *****.

[Freddie's Dead]

OMG, another flag on the KO.  Nice job Hancock.

[Livinginthepast]

The Bills seem to have a decent red zone defense (at least I think the stats show that). I think the reason is that the field is so compressed that the usual soft zone of 5 yards is cut down to 2 -3 yards. The line is more stacked as well.

[Lionel Hutz]

Who on special teams is holding on every kick return?
