Someone doesn't know the meaning of "strategy." Those are tactical decisions.

I’d love to see a 60 yard Cook TD! Smash over 100 yards and put the game away!
With all his grinding between the tackles, I can see him bouncing one outside big.

Outstanding stop!

No one complains about the TEs being good it’s the WRs outside of Shakir. That are the problem.
The yards count the same.

So, maybe this week the “can’t pass downfield” mantra will go away?

Whats the point of bringing up a game from 2020? I don’t get it.
Drama. Crisis. Histrionics. It unfortunately is the evolving personality of 2BD.

No worries with that speech or locker room. Looks about as expected for a blow out win after a few down weeks. Acting like that is what they "should" do and not celebrating over something they should be doing.
Although it kinda sounds like Sean is saying they previously stopped being humble, hungry and stopped putting in the work...
It makes sense. The Bills laid two consecutive eggs. No one performs at 100%, 100% of the time. It's very possible that the preparation intensity level dropped, leading to disappointing performances. Lesson learned, move on.

jmo.
Or, he is focused, listening, and learning. I'll compare this to Cook's supposed "unhappy demeanor." We all have different personalities.

Obviously, you are new to this process--we all have a better strategy than the coaches.
LOL, well played.

We do hope. But as they say, “Hope is not a good strategy.”
Cool, overused cliche. Since when do fans have to have a strategy?

The Ravens are a good team and a strong organization going through difficult times. I expect they will get healthier, claw their way back, and crawl into the playoffs. They will be coronated "the team no one wants to play."
Then, 😁 we will beat them by 14.

The Bengals have played several years without Burrow and have advanced further than the Bills despite that. We have essentially been in a state where competent defensive play would have gotten us at least to how far the Bengals have been. But we haven't been able to be competent against higher competition. You see what our offspring in New York is doing without Allen. I don't think it's inarguable at all. I think it's extremely overstated how effective our roster building is.
Please provide an example of the Bengals advancing further without Burrow. If you're going to try to show you are smarter, sentence structure matters.

After watching the Ravens-Lions game and recalling his performances against the Bills, I suggest his nickname should be "Panic Jackson."

That’s B-more’s MVP right there. He sure likes to lay the ball on the ground.

Allen is playing at a very high level.
It is not just taking the underneath "safe" passes but knowing when teams are playing zone and playing shell coverage capping routes and knowing where the holes will be underneath and in the zones.
His pre-snap reads are so much better, I am sure folks saw him recognize the play side corner blitz and call an "alert" to get the offense in the right set and just as that corner came on the blitz to get pressure in his face he flipped that quick side arm pass to I think Shavers for a long gainer down the right side knowing the Dolphin's D had vacated that space.
So, the Allen of yesteryear would have reacted during the blitz with just his God-given physical abilities to escape and find a way out of the mess he was in. Sure, that was a fun and wild ride that left us all at the edge of our seats either in wonder at his abilities or complaining about sugar-high Josh, but now he recognizes when the blitzes are coming and has a good handle on what the defense has given up to be able to bring that pressure and where he can attack them.
Allen is the epitome of that growth mindset the Bills preach - no matter the success and accolades there are always ways to get better. I am thoroughly enjoying this era of our Bills having a league MVP at QB who is performing like someone who has earned it.
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 don't see it that way at all. I think the best shot for them to win the Super Bowl is 2025 where Josh plays within himself, limits the turnovers and plays smart.
But if the past is any indication, we have seen this movie play out before. Buffalo opens the season with a few boring wins. Offense is . methodical. Come playoff time, Josh gets unleashed more.
We've actually seen this process for a couple of seasons now. Josh and the offense begin the season, well into October, playing with a self-imposed speed limit. As the Bills move into November, especially December, the offense shifts into 4th gear. Josh runs more often and aggressively and passes further downfield with success. This is why the Bills' December record is so good. I like the model and expect us to be nearly unstoppable (barring injury) down the home stretch.
As has been said here many times, we need our defense to also be playoff-ready.

just another bad signing by Bean, these are the kind of signings that keeps us from signing that player that puts us over the top, over 12 mil cap hit if we were to cut him, they have tried to trade him, no team is gonna take that contract, plus void years to boot, next year we are already predicted to be over the cap and our dead money keeps going up, Philly has more dead money than us but also has more money under the cap plus they have 2 SuperBowl trophys in there case.
🤔 I just don’t know how he keeps his job.

RL, I had the same thought on Sunday -- Dan Marino. Marino couldn't run for crap, but it was uncanny how he'd shuffle his feet to gain a bit of space when he sensed pressure. I mean, the guy went something like 800 pass attempts in the late 80s without taking a sack (with the streak broken by our own Jeff Wright. IIRC). I've noticed (and liked) that Josh is picking up that habit as well -- little shuffles while keeping his hips oriented downfield. It sure also helps that the OL is doing an outstanding job in pass protection. Deon Dawkins in particular has been sensational; he just seems to absorb his guy.
Exactly. Josh is developing the knowledge and skills that will allow him to own the offense well past his athletic prime. It is so fun to watch.
BTW, Stranded in Boston, I lived there (Arlington) for five years. Boston is a super fun area. But, I just couldn't get comfortable with New Englanders and make it my home. However, I had a blast supporting the New England Free Jacks rugby team. I hope it is a more comfortable fit for you. LOL, here in Mississippi (born a country boy) works much better for me.

I don’t think I came anywhere near implying he is even close to Micah at this stage. I just notice similarities in their career arcs. Like Hyde before him, like every rookie DB drafted in the mid rounds, there is a steep learning curve to undergo. Especially in McD’s schemes.
EDIT: I meant to add that Hancock shows superior athleticism to Micah at this early stage.
Oh gosh K-9, I didn’t mean my comment in a challenging way at all. Apologies if it appeared unfriendly. A more athletic Micah? Wouldn’t that be a dream come true!

Incredibly contrary to Allen's growing tendency (on repeated display so far this season) of stepping up when there's an early lane (especially through the left side A or B gap) to buy time and to put 2nd and 3rd level defenders in conflict. He did it a TON vs Baltimore to my eye. He's just ELITE at avoiding pocket pressure (while still looking to throw) in ways I don't think we always appreciate fully. The OL is pretty good, but not nearly as good at pass pro as 17 makes them seem.
Against the Jets, Josh reminded me of Dan Marino a couple of times. While Marino was famously immobile, he was also very good at shuffling to space while making great throws. A couple of times on Sunday, the famously mobile Josh simply moved to throwing space rather than actually scrambling. He continues to grow and take total control.

Game week thread - Bills at Dolphins

In the moment, it was frightening. Watching in horror, I imagined ligaments snapping like rubber bands. OK, I was overreacting. But we're very fortunate nothing serious came of it.
