Exactly. The defense has been wrongfully scapegoated for this loss. A top tier NFL offense should be able to muster a couple offensive TDs per half. There were plays to be made, but i guess that makes me a monday morning armchair QB to point that out according to some people. Brady is the problem. He has enough to work with to have a competent passing game and can’t get it done. Daboll should be hired immediately 

I don't think Defense is being scapegoated. Offense is getting the lions share of the blame for only mustering one TD in the 1st quarter. 

There seemed to be no coherent game strategy for facing the Texans top D on limited rest. 

O and D were out sync

I always had Bills losing against the Texans , but not Miami and New England

NE has gotten better quicker than anyone anticipated.

Miami was a head scratcher, but they wanted it more and we often wilt in the S Florida humidity. 

ATL was also a head scratcher, but I think their aggressive pass rush caused similar headaches as the Texans.

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. 

Giving the team a pass does nothing to improve their playoff outlook.
