  1. If we come out flat after that near disaster against the Chargers, you really have to question both the coaching and talent. We all talk about “when we are on we are unbeatable” but that’s the exception not the rule with our current Bills. Brady didn’t call a good game against LA, Josh was one of the main reasons we won but also was clearly inaccurate throughout the game, and our passing game is a mess. I’m hoping Diggs and Kincaid get healthy and Brady gets back to attacking the opposing team’s weaknesses on offense. 

     

    At this point, we are who we are. A team that can beat anyone but can also lose to anyone.

     

    I fully expect a W against the Pats* but won’t surprise me at all if it’s another nail biter.

     

    Best case is some hurt guys get healthy and we continue to stack W’s all the way to the Super Bowl. Can’t say I’m confident but it’s definitely possible.

    It wasn't a hard throw.  Diggs was wide open.  Josh just didn't set his feet.  If he done so that was an easy TD.  He felt too rushed but he had the time to set his feet.

     

    I think he’s referring to the 3rd and 8 where he hit Diggs on an out on the last drive. That was a precise throw into tight coverage and a great catch

    Maybe some x o guys could chime in as I really would like to understand the protection on the last throw. Torrence seems to be moving over to help Morse? I see a hand signal from Brown maybe indicating he is going to pick his guy up? But that leaves Mack with a free rush to Josh..

     

     

    I can explain

     

    Brown gave the hand signal that he was going to do his vintage “Ole’!” block.

     

    That’s where he stands there like a traffic cone while rushers blow by him on either side and he blocks nobody. It would be a insult to turnstiles to describe Brown as one.

     

    IDK, I’ve been hearing how improved he’s been but in this game he was god awful and not just on that play. He was getting toasted in pass protection constantly.

  4. Josh’s mechanics have taken a step back this year.

     

    On that deep pick, he had plenty of time to set his feet and make a more accurate throw. As it was, he was rolling to his right (his favorite play) and threw back across the field which resulted in an under throw. Good decision, bad execution.

     

    Josh needs to work on his footwork and mechanics again this off season with Palmer and start taking the off season a little more seriously. He’s falling back into some bad habits which is evidenced by his decreased accuracy. We all sit there in the first 2 series to see which Josh we are getting.

     

    We’ve seen more of inaccurate Josh this year and I think it’s just a matter of not being consistent with mechanics. 

     

    Still, I’ll take this guy over any other QB in the league including Mahomes

  5. I’ve been staying this for 5 weeks. He definitely tweaked something, we will find out after the season. He’s been playing the very good soldier despite his stats tanking. That doesn’t bode well for the playoffs IMO. Brady really needs to get Kincaid, Shakir, Knox and Davis more involved regularly in the passing game. We’ve got 2 games to figure it out assuming we make the playoffs.

  6. W

     

    They almost ruined Christmas, but it’s a W that counts as much as the Cowboys game.

     

    Cut Harty and fire Smiley into the sun. 

     

    Still think something is up with Diggs, prob hurt. He’s not getting separation and taking himself out every time he gets tapped.

     

    Non Miller is useless. Didn’t see much Floyd. Ed was a beast.

     

    Playoff Gabe showed up. Allen wasn’t perfect but the guy just makes plays when he needs to. He had 4 unbelievable plays that we just are lilke “no big deal”

     

    Liked the McD game management from 4 minutes on. Sure, should have love the touchdown but once Shakir was ruled down had to run clock.

     

    Why did Chargers take that last timeout???

  7. If we lose to Easton Stick with no Keenan Allen, no Bosa, and a 3rd string center then this team is as much a fraud as Dallas or Miami

     

    Not enough credit is being given to the effect Josh’s potential to run had on the run game success. Almost every counter we ran had a free rusher who was concentrating on taking Josh out if he ran the ball which allowed the RB to not even have to dodge him before hitting the hole.

     

    Props to Brady for sticking with the run when Dallas had an incredibly light defense and never tried to adjust. Their safety’s and LBs were giving up close to 100 pounds when being blocked by our O-lineman

     

    James showed patience and vision better than any game I’ve seen him plays so far.

  8.  The patience and vision that James Cook ran with today was something to behold and was on another level from anything I’ve seen from him before.

     

    If that’s an indication of how’s he’s going to run going forward, he could potentially be the best back we’ve had since Thurman. I’m not even talking about his receiving ability. It pisses me off that Dorsey hamstrung him for a year and a half. Seriously, I get pissed thinking about it.

     

    Time will tell.

    Weird take, probably the only person looking at it this way. They essentially have a 1 game lead over us because we do play them week 18.... and they have a gauntlet of a schedule, which we are just now exiting... and theyre heading into the most critically banged up.

     

    sure "Dolphins could literally take the next three games off, and still win the division by just beating us" is technically true if we were to also lose out.... but why make this point lol youre essentially just saying they have a lead

     

    you ever turn on start of 4th Q NBA.... the Heat are beating Clippers by 1pt.... "THE HEAT COULD TAKE THIS ENTIRE QUARTER OF, MISS EVERY BASKET, AND STILL BEAT THE CLIPPERS" .......well sure, if both teams forfeit the quarter, thatd happen

     

    Dolphins have no choice but to push that putrid lil s*** #10 out there.... this might be the last game this year they arent underdogs in.  If i were them id be pushing him to grind through this game, with the promise of vet rest and maybe sitting out following week vs DAL

    That’s a lot of snark for someone who doesn’t understand math or tie breakers

  10. Do you guys even watch the games or do you just look at stats? This has the stink of our offense with Dorsey being great stat wise but the eye test said otherwise.

     

    Martin has SUCKED this year. Yeah maybe he gets a couple inside the 20 once in a while but anytime he has to kick from distance he’s nailing low hang time line drives right down the middle and our crap special teams is giving up big returns. It cost us the Jet’s game! 

     

    Spare me the stats crap I’m tired of it. PFF says Dodson is the #2 linebacker in the league behind Warner. Give me a break.

  11.  Davis is done. He won ‘t be back unless he takes a really team friendly deal. Someone will offer him bucks.

     

    Josh has lost confidence in Davis and I think it’s easy to see why. When a large chunk of your interceptions come when targeting one guy I think that’s going to get into your head a little bit. Couple that with Davis’ inability to separate, his limited route tree, and his lack of contested catches you can understand why he’s #3 in most progressions. Brady has Kincaid as the #2 target, and rightly so. Davis may have a couple of good games left in him but I don’t expect to see his targets increase unless we play a team that Brady feels we can exploit with Gabe’s limited skill set.

     

    On that missed TD against KC, I think if you asked Josh he’d absolutely take responsibility for missing a wide open guy. He should have hit him. So why didn’t he? I think it’s a few factors - 1) It wasn’t a designed play call, I think it was another screen to Diggs 2) Josh’s internal clock was sped up from all the pressure 3) Kincaid was 1 on 1 and Josh trusts him more in that situation 4) He just didn’t see him because Davis was later in the progression. Still, that’s a gimme TD Josh should have hit.

     

    As for Diggs, that’s got me concerned. Something looks off. I remember a report a few weeks back of a back injury - is Diggs working through something? I can live with Davis getting a few targets a game but I think if we are going to go on a run we need our WR #1 to be heavily involved in the offense. I think Brady tried to get him the ball with those screens but Diggs has been dropping a lot. Idk it’s weird and hope it works itself out quick.

    The Bills SHOULD catch Miami at this point. I know that there are no “sure things” but I’d be shocked if the Bills lost to Easton Stick or Bailey Zappe in “must-win” games. This week will be tough but they are playing Dallas at the right time. Last week was a huge emotional win for Dallas vs. their hated rival. This week has to be a bit of a letdown from an emotion standpoint. It’s a bit of a trap game for Dallas. 
     

    Miami is not beating the Jets, Baltimore and Dallas. They will lose at least one of those. That means that the Bills play for the division in early January. 

    I wish I was this optimistic. I will say that if that KC game was an indication that we are peaking at the right time, a BIG if, then things are lining up nicely for us to win the Division.

     

    I’m not ready to say that’s the case. Beat Dallas and now we are taking about a team that is starting to roll. I think and hope the team is just taking it one game at a time.

     

    If Miami loses to the Jets, they are going to collapse with the pressure like they always do. Still, even if they lose their next 3 and we win the next 3 we still have to win in Miami to take the Division.

     

    So, one game at a time. Beat Dallas and I’ll start to believe we are peaking at the right time.
