Bills set scoring record last year 30.4 ppg. This year 34 ppg so far

Saw Epenesa shoving some Miami player on the kickoff in the first quarter for a penalty and that was the last time I noticed him.

and we are yet to use Cook in that passing game with his blazing speed. We are winning now and need to keep those under wraps for the playoffs.

The Bills pass protection tonight was almost exclusively big on big, meaning the OLman had the DLman or blitzer across from them *no matter where they went.* Stunt, move with your man. Slant? Move with your man. Etc. The Bills also almost never had an extra back or TE in the protection scheme. So, those two factors, paired with the Dolphins above average pass rush meant Josh was going to throw quickly and underneath. At one point during the game the Primecast said Josh had the quickest release of his career in the game. All of that to say this: IT WAS THE GAMEPLAN. Make sure to call into WGR with your thoughts. And who cares if it was Palmer or Coleman being exceptional or Jaire beinh horrible? They *checks notes* got open, made the catches and won the game in moments where they had to get open and make the catches. This is like rage fandom. “My team won, but I can’t find happiness so they suck!” Kick rocks.

It’s obvious Tre White is old and slow! The speed of Miami ate him up all night long. We maybe in trouble against high powered offenses. I hope Maxwell is all they are expecting, thought Strong might be a better option right now.

How long before Hairston actually plays? Sure we’ll get the he’s missed time run around and see Tre finish the year.

Chris Long has put it best , sometimes it seems like the Bills are playing with their food.

LISTEN: Trump calls for licenses of TV networks that give him ‘bad publicity’ to be revoked https://flip.it/tmWReC Good job Maga. He doesn't even hide it. I don't care if you hate Kimmel, I don't blame you for that. If free speech goes guns go.

Coleman ain’t a borderline #1. Has a lot to prove, consistency is not there. And he won’t be top 20 by the end of week 3

That was superb play on both sides of the ball.

"Can we win with five WR3s," you ask? The question's irrelevant. We don't have five WR3s. Keon's a borderline #1. His stats so far this year are top 20 or so. Not a "true number one," of course, but an overall #1. He seems very likely to be able to go over a thousand this year. If you don't want to accept him as a #1, fair enough but he's certainly performing this year so far like a very high end #2. Not a "true number one," of course, but an overall #1. Shakir's no #3 either. Kincaid is a weapon as well. KC is the latest to prove that you can win Lombardis without a #1, but the Pats did it for years as well. Not coincidentally with TEs being a major factor for both, and for us as well.

Idk. That pass Josh threw to Kincaid in the end zone was exquisite. Too bad the Fins broke it up.

If you include the playoffs, we have scored 30+ pts. On avg. for 41 games. We don’t get it, or you don’t understand the strategy. We’re scheming to our strengths, not obsessed with not having a Justin Jefferson type. It’s not Madden. You can’t have everything. The beauty of having a Josh Allen is when we need to turn it on, well Josh will jump out of the phone booth and put on the cape with that beautiful S on his chest. Now we finally have an explosive running game, and we are bullying our opponents with 13 personnel. I love it, but make no mistake when we face the Chiefs, and Eagles as I’m not concerned about Cincy anymore without Burrow, but that cape will come on and you’ll get your wish.

Was going to say, considering what the Fins were getting away with it did feel like a very weak call. He had a very good game otherwise. For the game balls, with three on each side of the ball, and excluding Josh, Cook and Shakir as automatic... Offense: Hawes, Kincaid, Shavers Defense: Bosa, Thompson, Walker

It’s truly making to see in real time history in the making. We love Super Allen!

Tom Brady would disagree. And his teams won at a pretty high rate. You don't force the pass game just because you have a great QB.

I literally said these exact words to my brother on draft night. Verbatim. Crazy. Or was it my cat i said it to??? Doesn't matter. Point is, I said it.

Let's see how that looks against playoff defense. It's cool to average high in the regular season, but they need the ability to have open guys in the playoffs.

Remember back on draft night 2018. Imagine if someone had said "in less than 8 seasons this kid will be responsible for 300 TDs, meanwhile Right Josh will be responsible for 12 in his career and will be out of the NFL altogether in 4 years".

I'll start with the last bolded statement first. Yes, I totally agree, when the Miami CB went out, the guy replacing him was out on an island to the left. I thought for sure that Brady and Allen would attack that corner with a pass, rather than run Jimbo for like 2 yards. Agreed...missed opportunity there. That whole sequence from the refs giving Hill the first down (and the Bills not challenging it), to the two really bad Bills red zone plays and then missed kick by Prater, and then the Dolphins next TD where it looked like Tre just conceded the TD, was all very strange and changed the game from a total blowout to a tight-ish game. Just weird. But again, I agree, the Bills should have put this game away in the second quarter. It was just a really strange series of events. To the other bolded statement, yes, the Miami receivers are fast, and Tyreek is still a great player, so I wouldn't be surprised if their separation is better on a more consistent basis. But I don't think you can make the inference you did above regarding our D-line (sacks) or receivers (separation) tonight. Tua was getting the ball out of his hands in 3 seconds or less. The majority of his passes (it was 11 passes at one point, not sure if that was the final tally) were behind the line of scrimmage tonight (screens, etc). So, they had very few longer developing plays that would involve a pass rush or even needing to get separation. And I think there are a few things going on with the vertical game. One, we are a much more overall efficient offense than we used to be, with a HC and OC that want a balanced attack. So, we run the ball a lot more than we used to (and throw to the backs out of the backfield). Our TEs have become a big part of our game, and though we have seen Kincaid get vertical (and Hawes too now), generally the TE game will not be that far downfield. And the league has changed since 2020-2021. Defenses learned to slow down pass-happy offenses like the Bills and Chiefs with cover zero, etc. Keep everything in front of you. That is how teams play the Bills now. So, we started taking the underneath stuff and just methodically marching down the field (kind of like the old New England offense---game plan to your opponent and take what the defense gives you without making any mistakes). Not as sexy, but effective. So, being opponent-specific, why would we want to throw a lot of deep balls against the Jets or the Dolphins? They are lower percentage plays with a higher percentage for a turnover. Our coaches knew we could out-muscle these teams and let them make the mistakes (which they did). We are a different team than we were in 2020-2022. We aren't pass first, pass often. We are balanced and disciplined. I just think we need to be patient at this point. When they need to pass or if a defense say focuses on the run and leaves things open downfield, I'm sure the Bills will attack that. I just don't think we have run that many routes downfield yet because we haven't really needed to in these last two games. If we had been attempting a downfield game and we weren't being successful, then I might worry, we just haven't needed to do it much yet. Doesn't mean we can't, we just haven't needed to. I mean we all love seeing bombs down the field, but if they aren't really needed in a particular game, why chance them. I don't feel like I've seen Josh really trying to push the ball downfield a lot but not being able to (a few plays maybe). He's usually hitting something over the middle, at the sticks, or underneath. Plus, we have seen Shakir and Coleman catch deep balls before. We know Coleman is good at 50/50 balls and high-pointing the ball. We have some speed: Samuel 4.31, Moore 4.35, Shakir 4.43. So, it basically comes down to some worry that we don't have speed on the outside (Coleman and Palmer), that true #1 X receiver once again. Maybe, but let's worry about that when we see it not working, not when we are choosing not to do it for obvious reasons. Coleman had that one drop tonight, but has anyone really been upset at how Coleman and Palmer have played thus far? In the Baltimore game, they combined for 13 receptions for 173 yards and a TD. Josh threw 7 passes in that game over 20 yards (26, 22, 51, 21, 29, 32, 25, plus the deep ball to Palmer that drew the pass interference call). And Josh has a ton of other weapons as well...he's hitting 9 different guys per game. I really don't think we have anything to worry about.

Woke up. Saw the score. Smiled. Had breakfast. Now work. Enjoy your stress free weekend, Bills fans.

I think it's more of a numbers game right now. If there's an injury to Nickel or Safety, then he'll be in. But with everyone healthy there and the guys they have in for depth being core Special Teamers and him not being that - I don't know that there's a spot for him on the GameDay 48, even if he is healthy and had more time to practice.
