On this bonus Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over all his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after seeing the film and going over stats on the heels of the Bills going to Houston and getting physically beat–and beat up against the Texans in their 23-19 loss.
The Bills can realistically kiss their hopes of winning a sixth straight AFC east division title goodbye. Before getting into Houston game specifics Patrick spends time discussing what’s wrong with the roster for pretty much the entire season to this point and why it’s unlikely to change.
As far as Houston, Patrick goes over all eight of Josh Allen’s sacks and what went wrong—from an offensive line that was dominated to receivers not getting open, bad blocking schemes and a quarterback that was holding the ball for too long. Also, it led to three more Bills giveaways as the team has shockingly become a turnover machine.
Defensively things were generally much better but even still—this felt like a game they needed the defense to get sack and force turnovers, something they weren’t able to do against backup quarterback Davis Mills.
All this is discussed plus the infuriating 1:03 at the end of the second quarter, guys who are flat out hurting this team at this point, worrying about how the rest of the season will play out and much more.
