  1. In order to beat the Bucs at their home you have to not have the cards stacked against you, you can't reasonably just say "Well, we shouldn't have gone 3 and out". Yeah, sure it would have been great for the Bills not to have done that but they did what was needed to win that game. They drove down, had a pass play dialed up and the pass was perfect and Diggs was open and the reason why that wasn't a TD was because Diggs was clearly mauled on the play. That should have been a TD and that would have been game over. At the very least a PI with 20 seconds to go at the 1 yard line. Pathetic.
  2. When it's all said and done, he will be the clear all time Bills rushing TD leader.
  3. This must be one of the most ratioed posts I've seen on TBD. Deservedly so
  4. I'm hoping the Bills go with a lot of snaps under center with 1 and 2 back/ 1 - 2 TE combinations with lots of Play action and less shotgun formations to limit the exposure on the Bills weakness up front against the Pass protection with this particular unit. If they can give Josh time, Bills win rather comfortably. If not, it will go down to the wire.
  5. There seems to be this thought that the Bills need to sell out against the run. I think that is the opposite approach that the Bills should be taking. The Bills defense going back a few years now biggest weakness is when offenses are able to get the Bills off balance with a run/play action pass attack over the middle. The way I see it is that in order for the Bills to win against these sort of teams is by playing good complimentary football. The base nickel defense unlike other years has shown they can do an effective job stopping the run. With the way this defense is setup and playing, I'd take my chances with teams attempting to nickel and dime their way down the field. I think this defense is too good to allow teams to do that consistently. When the defense begins to play poorly is when they try to over commit to the run and allow the play action to run roughshod over them. Stick to the way they have been playing defense, preach stopping the run, playing good gap integrity with sound tackling but play the base defense that they have been and not look to overcommit to stop the run.
  6. What AJ Klein lacks in speed he makes up with instincts. He struggled early on last year as he was adjusting to the defense but as the season progressed he ended up playing really good football. Every time he steps on the field he seems to play well. I'm not sure the Bills will be able to keep both he and Edmunds but he is a very nice luxury to have. I'm glad we have him.
  7. It wasn't just injuries, it was his attitude, lack of desire to be great and generally speaking what was between the ears. It was not ever going to work because he didn't have what it took mentally to be an elite producing receiver.
  8. Its a Bills invasion. It must be 70/30 Bills to Jags fans.
  9. Any idea around when they'll test the players for COVID this morning?
  10. The Bills are certainly playing relatively speaking elite level defense. The defensive backfield is about as good any defense in the league, White is playing his usual exceptional level football, Levi Wallace is having his best year, Taron is an elite Nickle backer and the safeties are playing top notch. The linebackers are having a phenomenal year, Milano is playing All pro calibur football and Edmunds is playing very well. The Defensive line has done a great job at stopping the run and getting solid pass pressure with their front four. Cohesively they are a unit that is in sync. Where Buffalo's defense can struggle and this isn't just speaking to the second half of the Titan's game but goes back the last few years is they tend to struggle with teams that are playing good run/pass balance. When teams begin to run somewhat effectively, our Linebackers tend to get sucked in to the play action and that opens up the pass. The Titan's match up well against the Bills (even though I do believe we would beat them 8 times out of 10) and teams like Cleveland and Indianapolis probably would as well. The Bills aside from that one large run by King Henry did a pretty good job against their run aside from a couple 2nd half gashes. That play not only produced a touchdown, but it mentally impacted the Linebackers the rest of the game. They should have just continued to keep playing the way they had been but they felt obliged to play more against the run. This defense is good enough to just play their normal style without having to pay extra focus to the run. As Gunner mentioned earlier, if the opposing team just wants to nickel and dime their way down the field and have some moderate to decent success with the ground game, then so be it. This offense and defense is too good to be able to consistently beat them doing it that way. It's when they get out of their game plan and start getting sucked in to the play action and open up the pass game when they begin to play on their heels. That's when the defense gets completely out of whack. They just have to trust their defense and not allow that to happen. When they are playing that way without having their LB's get sucked in to believing they need to stop the run game, then yes, the defense is a top 3 elite level defense.
  11. Going with my father and brother. We'll get to see the three games this year. Miami, Jax and Tampa!
  12. There was a lot of silly speculation about Beasley being a trade target. We know why some fans want him traded and it has nothing to do with his play on the field. The guy has proven to be a gamer.
  13. Tale of two halves. Terrible first half and dominant second one. The Bills adjusted to the 6-8 man defensive fronts and executed. Josh Allen Beasley Both were studs White must have had at least 5 pass breakups. Levi Wallace was solid Oliver was disruptive Poyer was clutch Hughes and Addison applied constant pressure
  14. This idea that is being thrown out by some to arbitrarily have Milano sit to rest his hammy is nuts. The decision should be based on whether or not he is putting himself at a medium/high level or risk of aggravating the injury. In other words, is he healthy or not? If he's healthy, you play him. Tennessee is a team when they are playing well is one of the better teams in the league and this is a big Monday night football game against a conference foe who whooped our butts last year on the road. Milano has been playing at an All pro level this year, the Bills could use him in this matchup.
  15. The Bills have one of the deepest defensive lines in the NFL. It’s because of the draft and FA that they have been able to bring these constant waves of pressure and keep their D line fresh. No true stars, just good solid football players all the way from the front four to the 5 reserves. Thing of beauty
  16. That last no call on Diggs was a terrible call. I’m generally all for letting the players play by not calling the ticky tack penalties but that last play the defender clearly held his arm which directly impacted Diggs ability to get both hands on the ball. That was a clear impacting penalty, unlike many of the ones called on the Bills.
  17. I think since you didn't see the Bills have that many sustained methodical drives (aside from soul crushing 4th quarter one), you are automatically assuming they didn't look that sharp, such as what we have seen many times over the past year and a half. The Bills didn't have that many of those drives because they absolutely obliterated the Chiefs with huge chunk plays. The bottom line is that Bills scored often and they gained lots of yards and converted their productivity into points.
  18. Yes, and next year they very well may end up drafting a 1st round CB to replace him.
  19. The only reason why they didn’t pass the ball much was because they were able to run at will. They could have done whatever they wanted and that goes for both games. Yes, we need to score points to win but limiting points is just as important.
  20. They have to try to not let Kelce get a free release and chip him to try to disrupt the timing of his routes. Kelce and Hill made it look way too easy last game and they need to somehow pay extra attention to those two guys.
  21. I think you should change your TBD name.
