“Buffalo Defense Decimated”
November 12th, 2025
No, the Bucs are not the only team with injuries to key players.
Remember, the Patriots exposed the Bucs defense on Sunday without their top deep-threat receiver, Kayshon Boutte, and their most-used running back, Rhamondre Stevenson.
The Bucs’ next opponent has injuries, too. As the headline said yesterday in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: Buffalo Defense Decimated And Offense Takes A Hit.
The Buffalo Bills have only have three defensive starters who haven’t missed a game due to injury this year. They are also down to three healthy defensive ends on their roster.
Starting cornerbacks Christian Benford and Taron Johnson and rotational defensive end A.J. Epenesa did not play in the Bills’ 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Rookie defensive end Landon Jackson played two snaps before suffering a knee injury and watching the second half on crutches.
And the big loss for Buffalo was tight end Dalton Kincaid blowing a hamstring Sunday in Miami. He’s Buffalo’s version of Cade Otton, except he’s got 4 touchdowns and is more of a downfield threat.
It’s that time of year in the NFL. Nearly every team has a pile of injuries. No excuses.

Detroit was missing their entire secondary and we all know what happened. Just sayin.

For whatever it’s worth, we played the Lions when they had a back-up at every position in their secondary and only scored 9 points.

Dueling injury reports for the dueling teams on the field Sunday. This game will become the battle of the walking wounded. Hopefully the field isn’t iced over in spots that instigates more injuries for either team.

Bucky practiced today

unfortunately it wont matter….BUF could have their 3rd string DL starting and Grizz will still want to “attack” the secondary lol…
RUN THE GRIZZ!!!!
with the weather and knowing BUF is piss poor in run defense we should have at least 15 rushes per half…
Grizz will have baker throwing 40times in the rain and snow lol
GO BUCS!!!!

Crazy how Treveon Henderson stinks all year and has the best game of his career against us.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:07 pm
RUN THE BALL GRIZZ
no reason why we shouldnt have 30+ rushes and 120+ rushing yards vs BUF!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!

Bills receivers are going to have a field day when the Bucs DB’s are 15-20 yards away
Even BUST Keon Coleman will have a great day while our DB’s are in Canada protecting the end zone

You know who else defense was decimated with injuries? Detroit, didn’t have a single starter in their secondary and our 1st year Oc couldn’t figure out how to exploit it.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:17 pm
It doesn’t matter, are novice OC doesn’t know how to exploit another team’s weakness like Joh McDaniel of the Pats does. Lost ball in the high weeds trying to figure out what screen pass he will run next.

Thank you for the Democrat and Chronicle article.
Hamstrings seem to be a thing again, both sides now. Seems like McDermott is blaming injuries on their losing streak. Their loss to the Dolphins really stung.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:26 pm
I seem to remember something similar posted about the Lions game. We scored 9 points! The Bucs better spend the week worrying about fixing themselves and not so much about who is injured for the Bills.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:33 pm
And so is the Bucs offense
November 12th, 2025 at 12:35 pm
Didn’t help in Detroit, def don’t think it’ll make a difference in Buffalo. Hell New England didn’t even have their DC, their ILB Coach is calling plays in his place and did enough to stymie Grizz, Bakers and our offense.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:40 pm
Yeah, we also heard how Detroit’s secondary was decimated. This team is not hungry.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:45 pm
Scott… the Henderson thing is made even worse by the fact Vrabel hasn’t trusted him all year and he maybe isn’t even in the game for those long runs is Jennings doesn’t get hurt earlier in the game.

According to NFL.com Bucky Irving returned to practice today?
November 12th, 2025 at 12:51 pm
lol! So was Detroit. Folks, need to face the truth here. The Bucs are probably the 10th best team in the NFL. Bucs must upgrade their coaching or the Bucs will always be a bridesmaid.

Bills 38 The Clueless Todd’s 13.
November 12th, 2025 at 12:54 pm
Are you saying, there’s a chance?
November 12th, 2025 at 12:55 pm
Going to be funny to see if they win this game the name changes. Also see how many go hide back under their rock until there is another loss. Also the comments will start with but they were desimated with injuries.

Tampa is +220 on Hardrock
Go for it. House it…if you have one.
November 12th, 2025 at 1:05 pm
^^^^^^^
extreme sarcasm
November 12th, 2025 at 1:10 pm
No excuses!! Next man up!!! If you can play at 85 to 100% then dress and play!! The team that wants the W more will win!! I sure pray that’s the Bucs! Get it done!!!!!!
November 12th, 2025 at 1:13 pm
This is a Tucker type of game. Hope he gets 23 touches
November 12th, 2025 at 1:29 pm
Pissed Bills, Pissed Bucs, sounds to me like a Bills blowout at home. With additional injuries to Buc players and excuses to come.
November 12th, 2025 at 1:33 pm
Injuries on other teams most of the time mean nothing.
Just like stats of other teams. Drake Maye is one of the most sacked QBs in the league and our Defense could not even touch him.
November 12th, 2025 at 2:00 pm
Certain talking heads are implying that the “sky is not falling“ based on the fact that the Buc’s 3 losses are to potential division champions. I don’t look at it that way. It is indicative of the fact that they are unable to achieve a “signature” win.
November 12th, 2025 at 2:11 pm
Still strong enough to beat the six and five bucs
November 12th, 2025 at 2:14 pm
Sean Tucker should be in the top 10 for yards at this point, given all the injuries. No idea WTF this offense is doing.
November 12th, 2025 at 2:27 pm
at 7:42 in the 1st quarter, Grizz had Tucker and White in the back field…
RW motioned to the left side and Tucker ran behind the RG for a gain of 12yards!!!
Grizz never ran that play or formation again…
wake up Grizz!!!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!
