    Speaking of 2020….remember that stretch where it was a thing whether or not Josh could play in front of huge crowds…..because his 2020 season was the empty stadiums Covid year and somehow it bec……

     

    Good times good times. 
     

    Right up there with 2019’s “but where are the 300 yard games??”


    And in 2018 it was “He’s not accurate”.

     

    Just a week or two ago it was “He can’t win close come from behind games”.

     

    He’s been busting these myths ever since he got into the NFL.

    i really havnt been on here since before the game and i'm not swimming through all 40 pages. So maybe its been mentioned already. But a huge takeaway for me is the Bills being able to stifle run games with light boxes. Thats such a HUGE freaking advantage. All year long we've heard about this dominating interior OL in KC. if you take out Mahomes 4 scrambles on pass plays the chiefs ran 14 times for 57 yards!!! 3.3 a clip.... This team is going to be REALLY hard to beat if they can keep that up.

     

    After a whole season of being labled soft in 2021, the #1 run defense in the nfl now resides in orchard park.... This also should pay large dividends come january when teams have no choice but to run the ball. 

     

    All the talk on the defensive side is about Von Miller and rightfully so, he without doubt has brought an extra edge and for this particular game he was the "closer" that we all envisioned and hoped for him to be.

     

    But what is not talked about in my view nearly enough is the pickup of Daquan, Settle and Phillips.   These guys have completely changed the complexity of this defense, we are now one of the best run stuffing teams in the league and as you noted a lot of it is with light boxes.   It allows the defense so much more flexibility to run the sort of nickel base defense that they want to run.

    This is beautiful. Hyde White and Phillips are obviously key pieces but this is the healthiest we've been since week 1. Hopefully White and Phillips are good to go after the bye and we are pretty much back at full strength.

     

     


    I mentioned that we were looking better yesterday when I posted the injury report and some poster snipped and complained that he didn’t see it that way.🙄

    Yeah, but then $11.8-$12M next 3 seasons.

    It’s not guaranteed and probably could be restructured.  
     

    If he could be had for a third rounder and he helped this team win a SuperBowl, a one year rental to possibly help win it all for a third rounder would be worth it.

     

     

  5. I don't think he made a big difference in this game.  The Steelers saw that the 5-10 yard passes to the boundary near the sidelines was there for the taking because of how far off the DB's were playing off the receiver.  The strategy was to not give them explosive plays, and nothing up the middle and to their credit they recognized that vulnerability early on.  The Bills were for the most part ok giving up those plays until they got to the red zone at which point they clamped it down.

  6. I hate to see families get broken up.  Kids being involved at the age they are is tough and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.  I think Tom loves the game and everything that surrounds it so much that he just couldn’t let go and it is coming at the expense of his family.
     

    He truly is a one of a kind, no player could match his mentality and even though it helped him propel his career there wasn’t enough room for much else.

    It does not matter who the back is - teams stack the line and they push our linemen back.  

     

    Wasn't our last offensive play this week a QB sneak?  

     

    The problem on 4th and 1 is a drop is a turnover.  So passing is always a bit riskier.  I don't have faith in the offensive lines ability to run block literally any type of run call.  Seems like crack tosses have worked, and some pin and pull type of stuff.  But thats not usualy what you want to do when you need a yard.  Add jet motion, hand some balls to mckenzie going laterally and get them questioning it so they aren't just pushing our guys back. Add a hard count.  

     

    I agree, they are going to have to mix it up and disguise looks and formations, switch up snap counts all sorts of things but at the end of the day they have to to be able to run the ball some with their RB's with some sort of level of success.

     

    Have to find a way to get the opposing teams linemen to not just fire off and push the O line back into the backfield.

  8. This is a real problem fand  is the only true weakness on this team but a potentially costly one.

     

    I have very little confidence that on short yardage situations that the team can get the push that it needs to consistently get first downs running the ball with their RB's.   They either have to somehow get this fixed during the course of the year or look at alternative ways to get the yards needed.   Having Allen does afford a lot of other viable alternatives but having your meats and potatoes approach of smashing it ahead for a yard or two should be your #1 option and without that option it can create problems.

     

    I'm certain in the offseason the Bills will draft a couple O-linemen in the early to early mid round picks but have to figure out a way around it for this year.

  9. I see lots of people arbitrarily wanting White to start later on.  He should play when he's ready, you can put him on a snap count and I think that would make sense so that his body gets used to actual football movements but there is no reason not to play him if he's ready.
