I think the Jets get their first W against the banged up Bucs. Quidshon Judkins will establish himself as the Browns #1 RB but I can't bring myself to put $ on Cleveland

I think there are a lot of people who dont listen to Allen, Brady, McD, and Beane speak enough and therefore dont truly understand our offense, what is going on during games, and the overall philosophy. I see a lot of people saying we call a lot of deep shots but no ones open...well first of all, thats not accurate. There have been guys open plenty of times, but what people don't understand about our offense is many of our routes being run on a given play are being done so to specifically get another guy open. Just because Josh doesn't throw a deep shot doesn't by default mean "nobody is ever open", yet that is all that is echoed here. People on here and media keep saying things that Josh is checking down or taking whats there and not even realizing the pass he threw, the routes run, etc were intentional and by design. Allen, Brady, McD, Beane, all talk about this all the time and its the true meaning of "everybody eats" and everyone buying in because they are running routes hard and selling them knowing full well before the snap they aren't getting the ball even if open because the play is designed to go elsewhere. So what a lot of people are blaming on players is really by design within the offense. And the Bills are doing this because it allows them to control the game, TOP, protect the ball and still put points up. And when they get behind, they know they can open up the offense more (see Balt) and get a lot more aggressive. But when they are leading or in a close game, they play this game because its been highly effective for them. Now one doesn't have to like or agree with how they are doing it, but that is what is really going on, its not this "because no one is open we can only do this" as much as people want to always harp on. And the result is - in the last 12 games, including the playoffs, Josh Allen has over 3000 yards and 30 TDs to 1 turnover - an insane run that is almost hard to believe. The Bills now have an NFL record of 25 straight games of not losing the turnover battle. There is a lot I think they are taking from what KC and NE did during their dynasties, which is be elite at the short area throws, move the chains, and keep putting the pressure on the other team to not make mistakes and still have to keep pace with the offense. We are watching SB Winning football right now. The play calling hasn't been perfect, in fact there are times especially in the first 2 weeks I hated some of the play calling especially, but they are finding their way and I think the overall philosophy is the kind of football that wins close games and will win the playoffs. I don't think they have quite mastered it just yet, but I think they are going to only get sharper and more consistent with it as they settle in with all the new pieces as we move forward.

I wanted to see how much different Allen was in Dorsey's offense against Miami in Brady's. It was pretty funny. There's got to be a happy medium. 2003 WC game Last game

I have seats in 226 row 3. There is a railing in front of me and yes, it technically obstructs our view of the field. I can also say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I never even notice it during the game. It's really a non issue.

We’re indomitable, you and I. Ew! You’re friends with Leh-nerd “Eyerolls” Skin-erd?? Ugh…fine, he can come along too… -
I’ve said this before, it’s been three games. They have some new guys and some rookies playing, can we give this group a chance to jell? Why do some of you think they can just make a trade? To trade you have to have a trading partner.

Miami defenders get paid too and their leading solo tacklers I believe were Dodson and Rasul Douglas...players the Bills let walk. Maybe they had something to prove being sent to a team of mediocricy and controversy and seeing all the positive coverage for the Bills? How many plays did the Bills have that were just one defender away from breaking it to the house? With key defensive pieces not in our lineup I am taking their current performance with a grain of salt. That being said, Babich leaving Tre on an island with no help against good receivers on critical downs in order to send or drop the extra man is not working... especially in the red zone. Every team will take that lay up.

Not sure who wins but want the Steelers. Then do us a solid and beat the Ravens and Bengals at least once. After that they can lose the rest.

Not any different than last season so far really. its a week to week league so don't get ahead of yourself. This teams achilles heel has been injuries late in the year into the post season.

Teams will eventually just stack the box and bring their safeties up. Without a true X, this hybrid west coast will eventually get jammed.

Agreeing with and echoing your thoughts, I found Joe Brady's comments on the game: “I think if teams want to play split safety and give us the opportunity to be able to run the ball, and if Josh shows that he can be efficient to take those underneath throws, at some point, they’re going to have to switch that up,” Brady said. “And then it opens up the deep throws. … I think Josh is doing an elite job right now of, if it’s not there, checking it down, finding the open (receiver), getting our guys RAC (run after catch) and be able to convert first downs.” Buffalo Bills OC explains lack of deep passes against Miami Dolphins (It's a free read) My belief is, at this point in his career, try whatever you want on defense. Josh will recognize it, adjust, and beat you. It's good times at One Bills Drive. More folks on Two Bills Drive would do well to enjoy it.

I can’t fault the coverage schemes too much as Miami has receivers that can kill you over the top and McD has sought to take that away every time we play them and quite successfully. Miami planned for this and sought to force us to lose discipline as they played short ball most of the game. The fact they were at a negative average depth per pass late into the first half bore this out. Heck, they were still just a little over three yards average depth late in the third quarter and didn’t get to over five yards, still well short of their average coming in, until late in the game when we backed off even more. And I think it’s worth noting that on several of the passes Tua hurt us with were when he was uncharacteristically extending plays with his feet and forcing DBs to hold coverage far longer than any DBs can be asked to hold coverage.

If they were to trade for a wr again this season I am going to personally burn down the new stadium.

I thought that too in the moment, but he had 9 carries for 38 yards. I felt like Hill was destroying us, but he went 5 for 49. His longest catch was 19 yards and he only had 13 YAC. Dalton Kincaid, in contrast, had more catches (6), yards (66), and YAC (43) on four fewer targets. For as frustrated as we all were at the defense, they kept the game in front of them for the most part.

Rousseau will find himself. Him and Oliver have always been streaky players. When he’s on point he’s dangerous. Plus his run defense is arguably better than his pass rushing because of those long arms. He is great at setting the edge. It would be really shortsighted to get rid of him.

Every season between week 3-4…

A bit early to give up on RB&WR2 on a team scoring 30 points a game. LB with MM back seems fine with DW and ST bringing value. Pass rush remains an issue hopefully Ed and the suspension guys will help. Trades in season are relatively few, but far too early for anything drastic at 3-0.
