Hope they don't go for it

3rd and 17.  Bills, "how about 13 yds" Texans, "ok".  Wrong answer.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Good thing Gabe Davis is back and all the passing issues are fixed. 

[Johnnycage46]

Not sure we can even overcome the 1 point defecit. Their D is too good compared to our talent-starved offense. Our only real chsnce was no turnovers and playing above average D. Soooo

[Goin Breakdown]

If I were Houston I'd go for it 100%. Malpractice if not.

We stopped 3rd and 17!

They would be foolish not to go for it on 4th vs this defense

The defense stinks. What are you watching?

There’s no excuse for the defense being THIS bad after how many picks and dollars have been dumped into it to support our supposed “defensive-minded” head coach. 
 

McD era Bills have never had a great defense.  We’ve all named better DCs in the chat tonight.

Kinda soft on the 3rd and long, but boy howdy did we need that stop after they terrible pass by allen

Defense steps up after a Josh turnover pretty much every time…the rest of the time they do not though 😂

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Defense just bailed out Allen big time. Held Texans to a FG and left him 2 timeouts and 2 minutes to redeem himself. The great QBs have amnesia. Put this behind you and move on

it's been an unfortunate pattern this season with the bad reads

It’s been much longer than just this season.

I hate that 3rd down call.

 

3rd and 17 on the 37 yard line and we are cool with giving them 10-12 yards into comfortable field goal range?

 

Does Davis mills actually scare McDermott?

[bkep32]

As much as bad we need legit WR, I hope we draft nothing but def in april

[Big Blitz]

Can’t wait for next week WR combos!

[kkim0904]

Why are we abandoning James cook...  Cooked with James.. Brady,  don't try prove yourself to mess up the game..

COOKIE!!!!

 

Great 1 tackle he’s missed about 10

Nice job by the defense there to hold them to 3.  Probably going to have to do what they did there by stacking the line on 1st down and then hoping to be able to stop a couple passes in a row.  Problem will be if they go play action on 1st down and find someone running open down the field, but it is what it is.  We can't stop the run otherwise, so when you have to sell out to do it, you have to live with taking chances on the back end.

[KOKBILLS]

I don't know why you play the 3rd down like that at all with Collins especially. You literally put them in a makable 4th down situation and a much easier FG... They played that 3rd down like they were on the other side of the field.

[Jalan81]

Losing to a back up qb when you have Josh Allen. Fireable offense.

[Billz4ever]

Lucky to get out of that with just giving up 3.

We can't afford to lose the turnover battle here.  Especially deep in our end. Josh has to play smarter.

Let's get at least 3 before half and get come out after half with an TD.
