I don't even buy the "no receivers" argument. The Bucs have been playing with a rookie WR as their #1 and a new OC. And that rookie didn't even play most of the game this week. They still put up gobs of points every week. As an OC you can either scheme guys open or you can't. Ours needs to have JaMarr Chase and Justin Jefferson as his receivers to be successful.

Remember when we used to blow out bad teams with Daboll and even Dorsey? Can't say I love the philosophy of keeping the other team in the game on purpose.

He's probably not a fan of Brady's asinine play calling. But throwing a nonsensical interception and half-assing a wounded duck pass to a wide open receiver for no reason doesn't help the team either.

Lucky not to have given up 28 points in one half to a team that got shut out by the Carolina Panthers. This whole team, including Allen, is completely checked out right now.

Agreed. Josh had no business being on the field against the Dolphins and Saints in the 4th quarter but we showed up completely unprepared to play and needed the whole game to put away two terrible teams.

Yeah, and McGovern gets called for a hold on a textbook pancake block. That non-call PI on Keon where he's being dragged to the ground by his collar was another good one.

I don't know, I think I could fit it in there. 1. Refs 2. Refs 3. Game plan 4. Playcalling 5. Missing too many starters on defense 6. The Bills were feeling themselves too much in their pretty new jerseys and didn't take this game seriously enough. There were go, I didn't even need all 10!

I think everyone knew we weren't going 17-0 with how we've looked in the past 3 games. But losing to a division rival just because the NFL wants them to be relevant again is infuriating.

You mean the drive that ended when Josh evaded two defenders and put it right on Shakir's chest for a 1st down but Shakir was tackled before the ball got to him? That drive was going to end in a touchdown if the refs do their jobs on that play.

None of those penalties were legit and they put us in bad positions where turnovers happened. They know what they're doing.

Yep. I don't think we had a single legit penalty all night. Meanwhile Shakir is getting tackled before the ball gets to him and the officials basically hand the game to the Pats with no call.

They put up 23 points in a game where the officials were extending their drives and killing ours all night long for absolutely nothing. Great game from those two, but it wouldn't have been nearly enough without a ton of help.

The DPI where the Pats DB pushed Cook out of bounds?

That was a ref game. Didn't have our best game but still played much better than the Pats. Blatant PI on the throw to Shakir was the nail in the coffin from Hochuli's crew on a night where they were the stars of the show.

Wow look what happens when you stop doing the cute stuff and just let this offense cook.
