and a premier DT that can rush and stop the run.   every serious SB team has a game wrecker on D,  we dont.

Not for lack of trying….. Beane????

This is ridiculous when the Bills have scored 30+ 12 times, second most in NFL history and 40+ 4 times and set franchise records for TDs and points.

The Bills have won games 34-28, 31-10 (x2), 47-10, 34-10, 30-20, 30-21, 35-10, 48-42 and 40-14 this year?

The narrative wasn’t about the specifics on point total, more on their philosophy of running the football, winning the possession battle, and limiting drives for both teams by shortening the game.

Woof, rough crowd.

I have to say though, even if this team escape the clutches of the seventh seed with a W, who’s feeling at all confident about Baltimore next week? It’s hard to fathom they just won’t bully this soft defense up and down the field…

I just want to get through this game with a W.  Our 1st game the Ravens laid it all out there for our coaching staff. If we play them next week hopefully coaching has a spot on O and D game plans.

Good to see our franchise tradition of not using a tight end in any capacity is still intact.

agree.  they have to get Kincaid and Knox involved.  Go Bills!!!

Yep, but the offense was the defense. Defense special teams put the Bills in 1 yard line hole, and the Bills ran the clock to the two minute warning.  Bills dominated time of possession. Bills defense is best when it is sitting on the bench. 

Yup. It's a team sport. Use the Broncos playing the shell defense to grind out time consuming drives and keep our defense off the field. That's playing smart ball. Shorten the game and limit the amount of times our defense is out there. Cover the weakness. That's how you win.

I'd argue the Bills offense have been hurt by execution rather than play calling tonight though. If they had been on point, it'd be 21-7 right now.

Why so we can hold a team to less than 7 points in the 1st half? We need WRs. Nobody is getting open so we are once again having to play small ball, ball control offense. It's way too low margin for error. A false start shouldn't kill a drive with freaking Josh Allen as the QB.

To be fair it probably didn’t but the sack on the next play certainly did

That’s playoff football

This team also gave up 30+ points in 3 of their last 5 games one being to Cleveland.  Time for the offense to wake up a bit

The Broncos really kinda flipped the script and the defense went pretty cold and offense went off down the stretch

It’s had three 8 minute drives 

[billieve420]

Offense needs to put together strong drive coming out to start the 3rd.

Worth a shot, it's the one thing Brady doesn't seem to try which is take the top off a D. Although he did with Diggs at times. Maybe he just feels it's not worthwhile 

 

Don’t have the horses to run on a consistent basis. Offense is missing burner like we had with John Brown to take the top off defense.

 

Allen is trying to play smart and not force anything with game still in reach.
