3) Play Calling

The play calling on Sunday was questionable all game long, mostly at times when running back Mike Tolbert was in the game. Tolbert has been frustrating to watch all season long, as we have usually seen him on the field during crucial moments of a game and when leading back LeSean McCoy should be on the field.

Sunday was no different. On a third-quarter series, on a 2nd and 25 offensive coordinators Rick Dennison sent out Tolbert. The result was a no gain for Tolbert and the Bills and also a three and out.
