I was at the game and let me tell you what was happening downfield

The Jags 29 points were largely aided by their special teams and defense, as opposed to their offense doing much.

 

You're right, 1 TD was a return.  Their Defense gave up 26 unanswered points in just over a quarter--no aid there.

I stayed home on my comfy couch and saw a Buffalo Bills team with to many injuries to beat any team. I saw poor pass protection and 8 sacks. I saw 3 turn overs by the Bills and none by the Texans. I saw my bank account grow by staying home and not flying to Houston.

Houston has lost 5 games this year where they scored 9, 19 (x2), 10, and 15. They barely won scoring 16 against an awful Tennessee team last week.

 

FWIW I obviously agree with you, I want more out of this offense. I just don't know what anyone expects. We intentionally hired a green OC who happened to already be in the building and we've surrounded Allen with JAGs. Why is anyone expecting us to score more than 20 on the road on TNF against an elite defense? That was never going to be the winning game script for this one. If we wanted that to be the game script we needed to approach the offseason spending in the complete opposite direction.

the offense scored 12 points. 20 would have done it.

Makes you wonder when the Bills will start fielding a defense anywhere close to this level again.  

With 55 and 91 it's a shitload better.

True but 91 missed a month for getting his leg stepped on in practice. Not exactly Ironman like the rest of the defense

Don't care they are the best, we have to be able to beat them.

Well, we clearly weren’t good enough to do that last night, got our butts kicked.

House: Your bank account probably didn’t grow by much. What’s 0.01% interest on the price of a Southwest Airlines flight to Texas? 😉

Seems to me we're running the same designed pass plays when Tyrod Taylor was here. Two speedsters Woods and Goodman never got separation. But, once they left Buffalo they went wild as receivers. Our receivers aren't great but the routes they are forced to run are a joke. Worse than high school. What should be a short pass our guys are still running thirty yards downfield. Anyone can see that from the end zone cam from Allen's back.

We wouldn’t be going for it on 4th and 27 if it was a tied game. Just saying.

I wasn't referring to the final drive. I was talking about the one earlier. If we took the FG on that one , the final drive would only need another FG to win the game

They have had a completely healthy defense for the playoffs and got shredded. Two other times it was as realistically healthy as can be and still got shredded.
