You knew it was coming.

Yeah. Lamar can throw to the boundary. Not!!

After seeing the replay, Humphrey could have been called for holding also on that play. He had a solid grab of the jersey.

Yeah. He hand fights with the best of them. They have thrown at him 3 times now. Interesting game plan.

Blatant offensive PI on that TD. No call.

He did recently have a bout of irritated bowl syndrome that caused him to miss some in game time.

Poor Josh Norman. That view of him get ear-holed to the ground by Henry is going to be played over and over through out the playoffs. And probably on GMFB until it goes off the air.

Hate the Ravens. Hate them. Go Titans.

In a reflective mood this morning. I listened to way more Bills talk on YouTube this week than was probably healthy. One comment I heard that resonated with me was the Bills needed to show they could play in a tough, close game. That was yesterday. I think that win plays future dividends. The hurdle was two-fold. One, can this young team (not just Allen, but all 22) break through for a drought busting win and two, can they battle in a close game and close out a win. Check and check.

I can understand them wanting to play better, but disappointed in a win is not an emotion I am capable of. Areas of improvement: 1. Special teams. Bad field position for many drives. Poor tackling, a penalty, bad decisions to field punts and run out of the endzone. Might have been their worst game of the season. 2. TE coverage. Still afflicts this team. 3. Running the ball. Has to be more from the OLINE and RBs. There has to be more. 4. QB pressure. Just wasn't enough of it. Go Bills!!!!

Maybe polarizing isn't the right word. But he is all over the talk show topics this year. He's talked about as much as Jackson was last year. Cause celebre.

Because speculating is free. 🙂 Actually, he wasn't making plays he usually does yesterday. Maybe I'm just acting the apologist for him. Something was off. That is all.

Glad to hear that. I still see a string of DNP in his future this week. He’s my favorite player on the team. What he does week in, week out is amazing to me. Gritty is the word that comes to mind.

This of course is true. But Buffalo got through most of the last six weeks reasonably healthy. Yesterday was the first game where in my mind our receivers were noticeably dinged up. And this position group is the strength of our team.

I’ve said multiple times I like the guy. If you can take the | absolute value | of what he says, by removing your emotional attachment to the subject, he’s entertaining. I don’t agree with his take sometimes, but he is playing a role on that show and playing it well. His takes are designed to be provocative. His role is to tilt at the windmills. And there isn’t a more polarizing topic than Josh Allen these days. He’s feasting on Buffalo Bills fans these days.

Categorically don’t agree. The week before he had a beautiful route beater and TD. How is that a liability?

To me it was. We’ve seen all season them get 7-8 yards on first down and run on subsequent downs to pick up the first. Yesterday was tough sledding for Moss.

I assumed all the runs were designed to (a) slow down the pass rush and (b) loosen up the zones a bit. The fact that they genuinely struggled to get a yard (one exception was 26 run) was eye opening.

Damn. That's really good.

The seeming strength of this team are all now sporting injuries. Diggs - oblique, McKenzie- ankle, Beasley - ankle?/knee and maybe even Brown with some residual calf stuff strain. My guess is three will be on injury report this week. Beasley clearly was limping around with a brace and sporting some tape on his ankle. This bears watching all week. I doubt receivers are going to catch much practice time this week.

Agreed. Buffalo will be playing Steelers at 4p is my guess.

Hear, hear. Immediately after the game was over Boomer, a QB, said Josh had a great game. That was immediately backed up by Cowher and Phil Simms. They didn’t focus on that play but rather his play in aggregate.

EXCEPTIONAL

#8.. Yep. The size differential between Johnson and the Colts TEs was obvious.

The thing I noticed was all the Bills defenders on the short side of the field. They were not going to let Rivers complete a sideline pass and quick out of bounds. Each one of those throw aways by Rivers cost them 4 seconds. Still didn't mean I didn't have my heart in my throat.
