FFS,  how many 3rd down conversions can they get on the opening drive?

[Lionel Hutz]

Too easy for Burrow. Getting flashbacks from that playoff game.

[BuffaloBillyG]

That was Burrow's first ever incompletion on an opening drive against us.

[Freddie's Dead]

Jesus, WTF DO YOU GIVE SUCH A SOFT CUSHION????

[SC STATE NUPE]

What kinda defense is that?!!!!

[bigduke6]

is there a defense in the league that give up more 3rd and longs than the Bills?  smh.

Seen enough of Tre white. 
 

Did we learn nothing about playing off these guys?

[HappyDays]

Why are we dropping into soft zones on 3rd and long? Come on McDermott. Man up and give you guys a chance

[BRH]

***** hate this guy.

[Chugga]

Jesus!!  The first defender can’t be 2 yards past the first down marker

[Southern McButterpants]

Sigh. They’ve learned nothing from past encounters with the Bengals. 

[sven233]

Get Tre off the field now.....  He's not up to this.......

[ALLinALLEN]

This is the same defense we tried in that snowy playoff game we got wrecked in

Bills are doing the SAME thing they did on the Playoff game. 

Playing scared/soft? McD special. Go small in big games. 

[billieve420]

3rd down defense strikes again

[finn]

So much for my hope for a physical defense. It's like they're playing with their nieces and nephews in the snow, letting them catch it then playfully tackling them. 

[Chaos]

people are missing the point. we are doing a great job on gap control

[Herc11]

Why the hell are they giving that much cushion on 3rd and 9???

[BillsFan130]

Classic bend but don't "break" McDermott defence
