Buffalo Rumblings
The Buffalo Bills keep losing the wrong games, even if no loss is a good one to claim. Eight sacks and two more very ugly interceptions for quarterback Josh Allen. That’s not winning football no matter who’s throwing the football. Yet… the Bills had a chance with less than two minutes to go, thanks to the most unlikely of trick plays actually working to convert a 4th & 27.
Was it an awful game by Buffalo’s offense? Yes. But much of that was due to the incredible performance by the Houston Texans’ defense. This team now holds the record for sacks against Allen in a single game. They wouldn’t allow Allen a moment’s rest in the pocket, where happy feet ruled the evening and proved fatal in trying to suffer through some troubling early play calling and worse execution by the wide receivers.
Buffalo is now 7-4 and in a real pit looking up at the New England Patriots. The Bills could ill-afford to drop a game ahead of their Week 15 rematch, yet here they are.
The playoffs are still well within site for these Buffalo Bills, but their work against the best teams shows how far they have to go to become championship caliber.
