And, for some posters here, even after a win...

Allen needs 25 more TDs this year to set record of most offensive TDs in 1st 5 seasons https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-stats-and-records-week-4-josh-allen-captains-biggest-comeback-of-career The 2018 first-round pick now has 147 career offensive touchdowns, tied with Peyton Manning for the fourth-most in a player's first five seasons in NFL history. Allen needs 25 touchdowns in his final 13 games of 2022 to break Hall of Famer Dan Marino's NFL record of 171. He would also pass Cam Newton (160) and Patrick Mahomes (159) on that list should he do so. Also, Allen had his 22nd career game with at least one pass and rush touchdown, the second-most by a player in his first five seasons in the Super Bowl era (Cam Newton had 31 from 2011-15).

Right, and missed a block in that game that killed drive and got Allen hammered. Too early to tell on both of them

He absolutely deserves to be in the discussion

Glad you got to see a win, my friend. Must have been a great feeling being there in person. It hasn’t exactly been a great place for the Bills to play over the years…

Yeah, but I think he was right…

Buffalo had scored on three of their last four drives (2 TDS) and I don’t think he believed 3 points would be enough.

I think Tua is better suited for McDaniel's offense than Bridgewater. It seems neither the Bengals nor the Dolphins can consistently move down the field in a "dink and dunk" fashion and, to this point in the season, both seem to live and die by the big play.

I did. Wishing him a full recovery.

And their defense is average…

Dolphins finally ran out of luck….

Agree on all points. I won't say Wilkins intended the helmet to helmet; however, it definitely was and I've seen similar plays flagged.

As much as I think Wilkins is a dirty player, I will give him the benefit of the doubt as to his intent to deliver a helmet to helmet hit. However, it was a pretty vicious hit, with his helmet hitting Knox right in the face mask, and then driving Knox' upper body backwards over the other defender. I was actually surprised Knox held on to that ball. He's a tough kid.

I believe Allen is regarded (by those that matter) as one of the best QBs in the league in pre snap recognition. I'm sure he gets fooled here and there. Even the best of them do. However, I doubt his inability to see things pre snap he is the reason for the Bills run game problems.

DVOA Rankings for Buffalo and Baltimore (Football Outsiders)

Yeah, not a good look. Besides, from a mocking perspective, Jones is a target rich environment without having to go there...

They won the game. They were not the better team. It happens.

I think, if the Bengals' Oline holds up, they win. Although, Miami is riding a bit of a lucky streak at the moment. It took a complete meltown by the Balt defense and a miraculous 4th quarter by Tua (almost 30% of his total yards and 50% of his total TDs for the season in one quarter) to beat Baltimore by 3 pts; and missing players (injury and weather related) and miscue after miscue by the Buff offense to beat the Bills by 2 pts. I don't believe it is a sustainable way to beat good teams, but they are having a bit of good fortune right now.

If they want to put Miami at #1 because they are 3-0 and beat the former #1 team (Buffalo) and the current #6 team (Baltimore), fine. It's a power ranking and doesn't mean anything at all. I think Miami is a good team and a playoff caliber team; however, I personally would have them somewhere around ten.

Because the teams who were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd had more YAC?

Factoring in the 13 seconds in the KC game and the 3rd and 22 in The Mia game, I would have to say they are still much better at calling defensive game plans than you are at evaluating them.

The Fins couldn’t gain more than 20 yards on 4 of their 7 drives and were gifted a TD on another drive. Most of their yards came on 2 plays - both against players that probably wouldn’t be on the field in any other circumstances. If you take away those 2 plays they averaged 2.1 YPP for the game. Take away Buffalo’s 2 biggest plays and they still averaged 5 YPP. As I have said before, Miami is a good team and they made every big play they had the opportunity to make yesterday. But they needed (1) to make every one of those plays, (2) the Bills to be short handed 7-10 starters at any given moment of the game, (3) Buffalo’s offense to make all the mistakes they made, and (4) Buffalo’s offense to be absolutely gassed in the 4th qtr because of the weather and being on the field so long - just to win by 2 points.

Sorry, but I’m just going to agree to disagree here. Frazier and McDermott know what they are doing and their track record in how their defenses have played in Buffalo are proof of that. Big plays are going to happen and they happen to every team. Sometimes they happen in big moments. That is football.
