Go Bills!

Correct. In a vacuum, Kincauds stats look good for a rookie TE on a winning football team. However we cannot justly remove the investment placed into him via draft selection and desire more from a first round pick. This isn’t on the player as much as the organization. Not a bad thing. But not the best thing given the make up of our roster and future needs.

Result was great. Limiting your plays when you have plenty of time was unnecessary. It worked out for them.

Stop spiking the ball!

Plenty of time for the Lions despite no time outs. All 4 downs to use all the way. Work the crossers early and push it down the field on later downs Hate that spike. Run a play

This kicker is beast

Why did they stop the clock for them smh

His limits are physical imo specifically in his ability to get off the LOS with more handsy corners. Dak and company run a much more timely offense than the Bills system. I think this plays into their abilities to release and make those kinds of plays

Sponsors gotta be loving that

Gun really had nothing to do with that 3rd down stop. The OL just totally blew the assignment Yes and the play you referenced was a huge missed opportunity by the defenses. It cuts both ways.

And a fumble through the EZ from being down another TD.

I’ve said many a time before, our devotion to running the ball with unique personnel groupings including the use of guys like Gilliam, Edwards, etc is limiting his snaps IMO. Pair this with the return of Knox, and the fact that it doesn’t seem to be even a thought to push the ball down the field to him, it’s dried up. Even at the height of his success this year, it’s been a lot of dump and go, outlets, quick hitters, etc. For whatever reason, the guy who was touted in college as being a vertical threat is not being used in such a way whatsoever. This could be coverage based, scheme or simply play design in progressions but it’s frustrating. Even if Kincaid blows up and turns out to be an all pro for years to come, his immediate impact was unfortunately always going to be tampered by the presence of a highly paid player at the same position.

Lions defense has some youth but they’re just not good.

Entertaining game so far

Kind of nice it’s easy to know who to root for this week after weeks of AFC confusion

Pontillos, solid. Been too long.

One thing Brady likes to do is Kincaid/Diggs to the boundary and work two man combinations. We just never seem to be able to, or focus on, pushing the ball downfield to him.

Yes and no: bonuses fall within two categories. 1) Likely to be achieved 2) Unlikely to be achieved Bonuses that are deemed likely to be achieved are baked within this years cap, where as those deemed unlikely are paid out and count against next years cap if they are achieved. I have to imagine you’re right though and these three bonuses would be considered unlinkely to be met and fall against next years cap. Worth it!

Not sure if my sarcasm missed you or you’re supporting it…but I was implying Von is forgettable

Groot - Oliver - Joseph - Floyd Lawson - Settle - Jones - AJE Am I missing anyone?

The sloppy offensive performance vs LA will do that to you.

From my own film, generally speaking on the year: Dawkins and McGovern have been solid. They are outplaying their contracts, which is always a good thing. Remember when 80% of people in preseason were bashing Dawkins saying he was lazy and out of shape. Where’d they go? McGovern might be the FA signing of the year, and quietly goes about his business (just like a good guard should!) Mitch Morse is a good player, but no doubt on the back end of his run. I think he might have one more in him, but wonder if the Bills should try to upgrade here before they are late and need to. He’s been a staple for this team, but does not seem to be able to hold up against some of the more athletic or sizable DTs. It makes sense as he gets older, and given his concussion injury, this will be an interesting piece to watch as the offseason commences. Torrence has been good to average, but for a year one guy who filled right in, you have to like what you have so far. He’s been a road grater, but a bit heavy footed at times and gets beat across his face. He had a pretty poor day vs LA IMO. Lots to like, but not an all pro…yet! I think he could be one day. Brown continues to worry me because of his inability to move and bend in terms of pass protection. He has been great in the run game. Earlier this year Torrence and Brown were having trouble picking up stunts on the right side of the line, but it seems they have improved. As others have stated, he isn’t a complete liability as he seemed last year. As others have mentioned, continuity this year has been solid. This is definitely the best OL we’ve ever had under Allen. We can run the ball better, and pass protection is good enough especially with Allen’s ability to make people miss. Side Note: David Edwards gets a nod here too, playing significant snaps this year aiding in both the run game and pass pro. Guys like him, Gilliam, Murray and more go unnoticed often but play a larger piece of the puzzle that we might expect. Extended side note: one of my frustrations with this offense right now is the personnel usage, which often leads to our best success on the ground, features guys (previously stated above) that take snaps away from Kincaid, Shakir, even Cook. Brady loves mixing these groupings in and you really just do not know what to expect from play to play with this offense in terms of formations and personnel. I do wonder how much of this variability impacts the amount of routes and targets some of our best pass catchers are getting. All good things to like for the Bills up front. Next season seems to be the return of this same group. All these guys are under contracts through next year. Helps a ton when your interior (Bitonio-Pocic-Teller) are all monsters. I’m wondering if Bates is in their plans at C next season, in the event they feel they can shave $$ from Morse without losing too much talent. They signed him to a 4 year deal for a reason, and I imagine they always envisioned him potentially playing significant snaps at some point for this team.

Another Flacco floater into 3 jets that hits the ground….jeez ussss

Too big and slow. He has similar issues to our very own Spencer Brown.

It’s also extremely annoying. Surprised they allow it
