EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

It was finally time for the Buffalo Bills to take the field for a Thursday night football game. Sadly it was a game to forget, as the Bills were simply out performed by a questionable New York Jets team. The Bills were embarrassed in front of a national audience as the Bills fell by a final score of 34-21. Here are 5 reasons why the Bills lost.

5) Penalties

The penalty situation is starting to become an issue for the Bills; it especially has become noticeable over the last two weeks. Last week against the Raiders the Bills saw nine flags thrown their way for a grand total of 95-yards.

Thursday night wasn’t much different. Again, nine flags were thrown at Buffalo’s way with a total of 99-yards. So, over the last two weeks, Buffalo has seen a total of 18 penalties for almost 200-yards. Buffalo will have to focus on reducing its penalties against New Orleans next week, as Buffalo now has 60 penalties called against them for 518-yards through eight games.
