The Bills dropped 44 points on the Bucks.

The Bucks scored 32 points.

44 to 32.

Josh Allen had a couple of wonky interceptions, and it was like one of those kinds of plays, Oh my God, old-school 2019 Josh Allen day.

And he ends with six total touchdowns.

A double hat trick for Josh Allen today.

Woo, what do you think of this one, Chuck?

I was, at first, honestly, confused about what was going on because I was Watching this kind in the background, I felt like every time I looked over, Something great or something terrible was happening to the Bills.

And I was like, man, this feels all or nothing to the max.

So I looked up, like, what happened on these drives?

Uh, the Bills had eleven drives this game.

They had four drives with no first downs.

Down.

So 4 drives, where they had 12 plays.

Uh, 0 first downs, you know, really bad EPA numbers.

And on every other drive, where they got at least one first down, They averaged 6.3 points per drive, 55 yards per drive.

Uh, 0.97 EPA per dropback, and a 60% success rate.

I was like, wow, so these drives were either DOA or they were touchdowns.

And that’s kind of how it felt, uh, uh, as this game was going.

I mean, Josh Allen was incredible, as it went along.

And I just did it enough, too.

Boy, another really bad defensive play from Buffalo, from Buffalo.

Uh, this is like a poison-pill defense.

I’m not sure what they’re going to do, Uh, in the postseason, you needed Josh Allen to go nuclear.

Kind of, uh, to drag it across the finish line.

I don’t really see how that’s sustainable.

Because he also has some really weird, like, Decisions that he was making in this game.

So, it, It’s kind of like a double-edged sword for Buffalo.

Like, one, yeah, you’re excited that you can be that.

Efficient on offense and score many points, uh, and just have these drives when youre Running through Buffalo, uh, through Tampa Bay, excuse me, But on the flip side, you still needed most of these points to get through the game.

They’re an imperfect team, but this offense can get going on anybody, and they can do it in a A lot of ways, but I just do not trust the defense whatsoever.

Like you kind of even said, just don’t.

I mean, the Bucks were able to do plenty of stuff, like, Do you see Tristan Werth blocking Sean Tucker’s touchdown?

Oh yes, yes.

He pulls on it, and he justI mean, it looked like a high school.

It looked like The Blind Side, the movie.

Thats nightmare stuff, man.

Nightmare stuff, seeing that hurtle towards you.

Yeah, but, you know, the Bills are just relying on turnovers like the, uh, Cole Bishop had Turnovers today, um, had the pick where Baker is just doing Baker stuff.

Um, the other touchdown the Bucks gave up, or the Bills gave up Sean Tucker, and Barton pulls On that one.

So, you know, you can kind of just do What you want against this Bills’ defense?

They’re just so reliant on turnovers, yet the offense sure is enjoyable.
