Oh oh. Interception leads to being hurt!! 😬

Here come hero ball

[ToGoGo]

All of that happened because of a drop by Davis earlier in the drive.

Damn Davis, got to catch that.

That ref is like, nope I won't call late hit...I...won't...do...it!

These refs really suck balls today.

Those are home cooking call’s which shows you how much the Bills have dominated that despite several bad calls they still control the game

Davis has to be the db on that one

Davis can't catch a routine ball. How's he supposed to play db.

Maybe his droppsies can be transferred via osmosis to the DBs if he rubs up against them.

I don’t like the narrative that INT’s are like punts when they occur deep (as punts are designed to be tackled by the defense as opposed to an Int whose not expected) but that INT was basically a punt in terms of the outcome. 

[LABILLBACKER]

The DL just can't get off blocks on the run.  

[Johnnycage46]

While our D drives have worked out so far on the scoreboard, their running ability is worrisome...need to shut that stuff down.

Man floyd looks good.  If Von comes back and is 90% of himself this could be such a fun dline to watch.

Man! The bills are 🔥

Floyd taking over this drive!

That was as good as a punt.

Ok, time for a crisp, 7 min TD drive here to put this one away.  Mix it up.  Take the short if it's there.  Sprinkle in the run.  Spread the ball (Diggs and Davis are not the only guys running routes this half right?)

Branford with great open field tackling. Offense needs to just get a field goal and eat some clock. Just don’t turn the ball over and play smart.

INT is not as good as a punt. Yes the outcome was basically a solid punt but INTs are much easier to be returned by the defense as it is unexpected and the offensive players are not good tacklers. 
 

Josh taking a shot there is not tragic but he was better off checking down or throwing away.

It was as good as a punt. Better, no return.

Close to FG range now just need to play smart and be complementary to the defense

Yes the outcome was an effective punt but generally speaking you are more likely to return an INT longer than a punt (esp a punt closer to mid field) a check down and punt is better

It was as good as a punt. There was some contact but in the end, as good as a punt.
