TNF away team

[harmonkillebrew]

Almost always loses. 

Texans were always going to be a tough game, given how their D matches up against our O. But you throw in a short week and the Bills having to travel to Houston, makes it damn near impossible.

 

I saw this game on the schedule and thought it was a likely "L". But the backup QB made me hope otherwise. In the end, the Texans D did what it does at home and with three days of opponents prep - it harassed and dominated. Unfortunately, McD and Brady couldn't create a game strategy that controlled field position and kept Josh's exposure to a minimum against that nasty pass rush.  Moving away from Cook after the 1st drive was a huge mistake.

 

But I give the team as a whole a pass. Playing on the road on TNF right after the big game against Tampa was a big ask.

Demeco Ryan’s had never won a game on Thursday night.  
 

until now with a backup qb.

 

Another quality night for the head coaches defense.

That's on par with our oline last night that allowed the Texans DL to pass right on by.

All that being said,  the Bills had the ball and were in good position to walk off the game.  They held Houston to 3 points and 60 yards for the second half. It was our game to be had.
