Did not know he was from the same class. Surprisingly, the Bills gave rostered 3 of these players. Yet, never at the same time. Funny.

These houses have zero yards, but are stunning w curb appeal

JT said exactly what I’ve been saying all year with Allen: The most elite version of himself is finding the balance between being superhero and surgical. People criticize his check downs, quick game; etc and want to call him neutered. That is just so blatantly wrong. It’s taking free money: On the other hand we are always fearful of sugarhigh Josh, playing Superman out of structure. And he’s called reckless and undisciplined. I think what a lot of people’s frustrations are stemming from is what sometimes seems like an over correction from the offense to promote that surgical nature of the game. We say, “we’ve got Josh Allen! Can’t you just jump over someone and throw a 40 yard laser on a dime into triple coverage?” We’re so used to seeing superhero, what it is just Clark Kent, we can’t deal. We’d rather see him crash and burn because of what we how he can be, that watch the slow and methodical game that sometimes konks out. We need a 40 million dollar Superman a lot of times, but not always. As JT referrenced, when the spotlight starts to shine and we have stud opponents (Eagles, Chiefs, etc) it’ll be more important than ever to take that free money when it’s there and create those fun splash plays when it’s not.

I’m going out on a limb and guessing be doesn’t get moved. Dane Benford Lewis Elam Norman will sort out CB the rest of the year. I think keeping him is more about future contributions that current. It ain’t looking pretty, but McBeane has a history of not giving up on high draft pics (see Cody Ford) too quickly

I think the losses that @Alphadawg7 referenced matter a lot less if Allen comes out and has big games against teams such as the Eagles, Jets, Chiefs, Bengals, etc, He’s been right in the running the whole way, and the INTs and losses look bad…..wins though, with stats like he has now, in November and December, would 100% erase any bad taste that might sour an Allen MVP, Days like last night will get it done.

What’s the opposite of a game ball? I am giving whatever it is to Siran Neal.

Why? If he isn’t 100%, he didn’t need to come off of PUP. Nothing against Von, as you’ll see I’m with patience here. This is more about his long term recovery. I personally don’t think game reps are going to benefit him any more than rest and practice might have. If that’s the case he shouldn’t be playing Classic Von This is key. He doesn’t need to be an all-pro right now. We just need him to be in January. Still think they rushed this thing along. Again classic wide 9. Really puts the tackle in a pinch, forcing them to gain depth/width with their kick. Opens up the inside mode and get a little more umph with your hands due to the running start.

Dodson terrible in coverage

He could have 100% thrown the ball away.

That’s the kind of play from Allen that just can’t happen. Totally unnecessary. Doesn’t matter if a guy was off sides. You don’t need it. 2nd and 1 to 3rd and forever. We will laugh it off now because they’re in control and he’s been great, but those are the kinds of plays that have plagued this team. He has to be smarter in situational ball.

Not a whole lot of under center tonight. I am predicting a PAP from under center here…taking a shot!

Kincaid with the elite grab. So nice

Allen has to be smarter on 1st and 10

Looking for Allen to be elite. Here is my recipe: When Allen is pressured, which he absolutely will be tonight, he HAS to be wiser about when to take the hot route and when to be Superman. I am not advocating for more or less of one of these options, but instead for him to be more heady of down and distance, circumstances, yard line, game flow, etc. Those clamoring for Allen to run more, I’m with you. Thise arguing that Allen needs to take the easy throws and be surgical with quick hitters. I’m with you, too! The most elite version of Allen would be that which can hurt teams in multiple facets depending on the situation

Was that the year KC concussed him and then they lost like 7 straight?

Damn so cool. Did you guys know he went to Harvard?

I imagine the rumor about an Isabella call up is likely do to the idea that we will be in much more 11 personnel tomorrow. That being said, I’m pretty confident Harty Sherfield and Shakir will dominate the snaps at WR3. I don’t see any need for his activation, other than pure speculation.

I missed this. Last I heard he had a reduced snap count with no injury designation and looks slow?

I agree it’s the right thing to do. That being said it can’t ALWAYS be the right thing to do. For all the data that might support deferring, I have to imagine specific data exists that would support certain teams, or certain scenarios (weather) would point to otherwise. I love getting the second half kick, because it really gives you an opportunity to adjust what you’ve seen in-game at the half and come out swinging. if you can weather the storm of the opening script in the first half after deferring, you undoubtedly get the upper hand in the 2nd.

I understand the metric but maybe you have a more wholesome comprehension of how this could weigh into what we’ve seen vs. why we are losing? Many non-statheads would say, “what does is matter if we lose?” I am not one of those guys, as I do think metrics play SOME roll in helping us see a more complete picture. That being said, I do wonder if some of the circumstances the Bills are finding themselves in (turnovers, penalties, etc) and the overcompensation of our team to adjust to those can partial explain why we have such a good composite EPA but are still losing games.

To me, having a tough defense and having a difficult time against a defense are two different things. I think the Tampa D is legitimately a solid team, where as the Giants D isn’t actually a good defense, but we had trouble.

Hopefully not hospital food! Our son (baby #2) was born earlier this morning. Hoping to be home by kickoff. We have a ton of frozen dishes (casseroles, soups, chili’s, etc) that we made in preparation. So we’ll see what kind of spread we can throw together once our toddler gets to bed and momma and I can settle in on some eats. Cheers to getting the first Bills win of his life time, and to many, many more!

I think Tampa D is going to be tougher than some might expect.

Did they practice today? Ed?
