People don't comprehend that points is what matters. It's not yards. 

 

7 points given up that half is a huge win.

So is 10.  Which one is the bigger win?

[Buffalo Boy]

That is the D us Debbie Downers have been telling you about.

Add advantage Sean Peyton and it’s a typical McClappy playoff showing. 
We are the better team and we are also lucky to be up by 3🤷‍♂️

[stevestojan]

Outside of one big play, not the worst first half. But why do we seemingly never have anyone open downfield?

 

Keep with cook. And blitz that rookie (with someone other than ***** Hamlin).

This is the best defense the Bills will see the entire playoffs. Get a TD on this next drive and keep eating up the clock. Just survive today 

 

It is survival.  feels like that Colts/Rivers wild card game. Felt like we were losing or gonna lose the whole time but managed to escape.

Hamlin blitzing is useless

 

He runs right AT the blocker. He makes NO attempt to go around him and get the QB.

 

Its like playing with 10 guys on defense.

For all the complainers, we;ve given up 7 points and worn down their d line

They’re not a great offense really, probably worst of the remaining playoff teams. But you can’t make mistakes and need to capitalize. We’re not doing that - see fake punt and Franklin TD. Nix isn’t playing lights out and is a rook, he needs to eat dirt repeatedly

Giving up 7 points in the first half of a playoff game? Settle down. My goodness.

they made a huge mistake to start the game.  Then they got beat on fake punt plus allow them to get into fg range after having them pinnned down.

 

The pressure feels like its on the Bills because they have made mistakes.

[psuscott16]

We need a premier edge so badly.

[Irish Dave]

The fact that they marched down on us with ease to try a kick is pathetic.  McD may be a nice guy, but I truly hope he’s gone after our inevitable exit from these playoffs after our next inevitable dud defense effort

I agree - after that first drive, defense played well. 
 

Offense has been meh, but the clock consuming drives are a concern if it continues without capitalizing with 7’s.

Gave up 7 points and it's the defenses fault.  Wake up the hell up people.   

Crazy, right?

 

We've given up 7 points. 

 

It's a 3 point game because the offense has been very conservative and only had 3 drives. 

 

If defense keeps doing what they're doing and the offense wakes up we should start to pull away.

Hamlin looks to get contact when he blitzs.  not sure if thats on purpose to try and free up somebody else,  or hes just bad.  either way,  doesnt appear to work.

I was noticing that too.

Get Bishop in, can't be worse.

it would be really nice if the Bills could hit nix somehow in the second half.  

 

Feels like they will need a takeaway to win this game.  

 

I hope they go 70 yards in like 8 minutes to start the 3rd quarter.

 

Then that takeaway could set this game up exactly how they want it.

Oddly enough, that’s been the script for a lot of games this season.  The Bills have shown they’ve been great at second half adjustments this season. Hope it continues. 

[muppy]

Bo Nix is doing well. we need pressure him and keep doing it. sack him PLEASE

That's the hope. I hope the O can open up a bit.

He doesn’t have time.

It actually flipped a bit late in the season where their offense was going off and defense started to struggle

Giving up 7. Scoreboard. It's literally all that matters.

Tony romo's ball washing of the rookie comparing him to Tom Brady crowning him if he can lead them to some points he's on his way he said.
