Hi. The Bills played a road game in Tampa Bay on Sunday. Here’s how it went.
Can’t look away.
14:56 — Bobby Rainey runs for 80-yard touchdown (7-0 Bucs)
No hamsters were harmed in the making of this GIF recap.
11:53 — Bills Punter punts. Bills Punter interfered with. Bills go 3-and-out again. Bills punter punts (7-0 Bucs)
You deserve two punt flags. Also, something I’ve noticed about this GIF: quite possibly the best part is that there’s a coach that gives the finger twirl to the guy holding the flag. As if to say, “START IT UP BOYS.” I love that GIF so much.
10:55 — CBS television feed goes out (7-0 Bucs)
Should have just stayed like this.
10:48 — Bucs go 3-and-out. Bucs Punter punts (7-0 Bucs)
To be, or not to be: that is the punt flag.
9:45 — E.J. Manuel throws 15-yard pass to Scott Chandler (7-0 Bucs)
NICE CATCH DINGUS!
8:57 — Manuel sacked for 10-yard loss (7-0 Bucs)
Not so smooth there.
8:12 — Bills kicker kicks 40-yard field goal (7-3 Bucs)
Not nearly as triumphant as seeing an Arizona State bro destroyed by an old man, but whatever.
5:07 — Mike Glennon throws 22-yard pass to Vincent Jackson (7-3 Bucs)
so catch. much defense. such bad
2:47 — Glennon throws 38-yard touchdown to Jackson (14-3 Bucs)
Done.
1:24 — Manuel sacked, Bills go 3-and-out, Bills punter punts (14-3 Bucs)
I saved a bunch of these GIFs from the Breaking Madden featuring 44 Schianos. At the time I thought the Bills would sack the Tampa quarterback quite a bit. That didn’t happen.
Also:
We few, we happy few, we band of punt flags.
0:29 — Bucs go 3-and-out, punt (14-3 Bucs)
O punt flag, punt flag! Wherefore art thou punt flag?
14:07 — Manuel intercepted by Lavonte David (14-3 Bucs)
May as well just use this GIF for the rest of the game. But alas, we must continue.
13:29 — Glennon intercepted by Jarius Byrd (14-3 Bucs)
That man is going to get PAID.
12:28 — Manuel intercepted by Johnthan (this is how you spell it I checked) Banks (14-3 Bucs)
It’s all ruined now.
10:52 — Old Bills Kicker kicks 53-yard field goal for Tampa Bay (17-3 Bucs)
No one likes you anymore, Old Bills Kicker.
9:25 — Bills go 3-and-out, punt (17-3 Bucs)
A punt flag! A punt flag! My kingdom for a punt flag!
7:55 — Bucs to 3-and-out, punt. Leodis McKelvin fumbles return (17-3 Bucs)
Feed him to the lions.
7:07 — Glennon intercepted by Stephon Gilmore (17-3 Bucs)
That goes for you, too, EJ.
4:54 — Bills get one first down, punt (17-3 Bucs)
The punt flag protests too much, methinks.
2:04 — Glennon throws incomplete pass on 3rd down. Byrd takes roughing the passer penalty (17-3 Bucs)
Stupid.
0:20 — Glennon throws 5-yard touchdown to Tim Wright (24-3 Bucs)
Great work.
Also:
At this point everyone turned to the Eagles game, because snow is fun and the Bills are not.
10:25 — Bills kicker kicks 46-yard field goal (24-6 Bucs)
We get it. You’re cooler than the other guy. We’re still losing, Bills Kicker.
8:14 — Bucs go 3-and-out, punt (24-6 Bucs)
Cry ‘punt flag,’ and let slip the dogs of war.
6:13 — Manuel intercepted by Mason Foster (24-6 Bucs)
Hey, let’s rewind that so we can see it one more time.
Yeah. Just like that.
3:48 — Bucs go 3-and-out, punt (24-6 Bucs)
All the world’s a punt flag, and all the men and women merely players.
3:12 — Manuel throws 13-yard pass to Steven Johnson (24-6 Bucs)
His first name is “Steven” until we’re sure his hands aren’t working for the enemy.
1:21 — Manuel intercepted by David after Robert Woods is killed (24-6 Bucs)
This one wasn’t E.J’s fault. It was yours.
0:17 — Glennon throws 14-yard touchdown to Jackson. Play reviewed. Overturned. (24-6 Bucs)
Nice defense, or something.
Briefly: I don’t understand what the whole toe/heel discussion was. His foot came down out of bounds. It was only part of it, I know. But it was a part of it. How was that up for debate?
0:11 — Old Bills Kicker kicks 32-yard field goal for Bucs (27-6 Bucs)
Dislike.
14:25 — C.J. Spiller runs for 83-yard touchdown
BUT! Robert Woods called for holding penalty (27-6 Bucs)
13:26 — Bills punter punts (27-6 Bucs)
But, soft! What light through yonder punt flag breaks!
11:48 — Bucs go 3-and-out, punt (27-6 Bucs)
Told by an punt flag, full of sound and fury.
9:35 — Bills go 3-and-out, punt (27-6 Bucs)
Something is rotten in the state of punt flag.
5:46 — Bucs get one first down, punt (27-6 Bucs)
Now is the punt flag of our discontent.
4:32 — Manuel sacked twice, Old Bills Punter punts (27-6 Bucs)
I turned on Fox at this point. Not sure what happened after this.
Let’s just go home already.
See you next week.
