Missed the chip shot. Let’s go into half tied. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Bates can’t miss those in January.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Yeeeesh, did he pull that kick.

[Motown Bombers]

St Brown could have had a TD if he caught that. 

[Jason_R]

Ouch. 

[TP_Fan]

Unreal.  Straight drop by Amon ra and then bates looks like a guy who has never kicked before. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Could have been better.

Could have been worse.

Lucky to be down 7, could have been tied.

[Motown Bombers]

All things considered, being down 7 is not bad given how this game has gone. 

[RandyMarsh]

Disappointed not to get points on that last drive but honestly it feels like we should be down by more than 7. 

[MichiganCardinal]

The way the game started it was encouraging to see the defense not be a sieve to end the half. Two drives, no points.

[RandyMarsh]

Buffalo with 325 yards of offense that first half to our 190, definitely fortunate to only be down 1 score. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Don't you lose hope now.     This team has fought from behind all season.   Every time you think they're out, they pull it back in !

They have the second best defense in the league. Yes this has been a horrific half, but cmon. 

You don't want to read any more of this person's posts, especially if they lose.

By not winning the toss and going 3 and out that pretty much ended it.  Spotted them 14 and they get the ball back after the half.  They are unlikely to get a stop today with the scheme they are using. 

Yeah, we lost the coin flip. Everyone may as well go home and forget it. You ruin the game for this entire board, every freaking week. Shout the F up already.

[TP_Fan]

The defense is pretty damn useless. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Leagues best defense against the run sure looks like a fraud right now

[Sports_Freak]

Hopefully, we'll beat Allen in February. 

[Motown Bombers]

This run defense has been the most shocking. 

[holygoat]

This defense blows.

[RandyMarsh]

Just atrocious defense today on all fronts. Some of it you can credit Allen and Buffalo for but alot of it is just poor execution or play design on our part. 

[TP_Fan]

SOL making a comeback. What an absolutely demoralizing effort by this defense.  About to lose everything they fought for by bringing no energy and no effort.  

[lordstanley]

Allen failed to eat up much clock on that drive. 28-14.

Aaron Glenn is still the coordinator, of course it does. 

[number20]

Defense is just too depleted with injuries, especially that 2nd level. Can't expect practice squad players and guys signed off the street to keep playing like starters

Yep, I think ironically the only time they had a rushing "stop" was the play Buffalo got called for holding on. Everything else has either been 4+ yards or a first down/TD for them.
