    The Tennessee game was bigger in my opinion.  The Titans have been in the playoffs recently and it was a conference game.  

     

     

    Titans last went to the playoffs in 2017.

     

    EAGLES were in the playoffs that same year.

     

    PLUS the very next year (Titans did not make it in 2018) who actually went beyond the playoffs and won the Super Bowl?  ?     hint: ?

    Week 8 Bills (-1.5) vs Eagles

    Yes.  Why Yes, yes, as a matter of fact, they did.  Also, two of their 3 wins came over the Jets, and Washington.  They let Washington rack up 27 points.

    They did beat the Packers, in a game where they forced two turnovers.  Take a memo, Allen: take care of the Duke (the spheroid one).

     

    Just amazes me though, that professional sportswriters can put out stuff about how "outside of holding NE the Bills have only beaten bad teams".  The Titans have the same record as the Eagles, Fact.  And outside of Green Bay, the Eagles have only beaten the Redskins and Jets.  Does losing to a good team make you a better team than winning over a bad or "meh" team?  ?  The most recent losses have been blowouts, too.

     

    I know what it is - the Titans have a good D, and a "meh" at QB.  The Eagles have some gaps on their D which I think is not all that - and a guy once regarded a the Hot New Hand behind center.  And then there's that Recent Superbowl aura.

     

    But that was then.  This is Now. 

     

    I dunno.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It takes a log time to "out live" a reputation...  and THAT is a gate that swings both ways.

     

    (Bills trying to out live a bad rep and the Eagles losing a good one.)

    Daboll - Grade Him

    I see a night and day difference between the play calling this year an any recent year and frankly,  I am quite happy with the play calling.  The Bills are #2 in adjusted pass play % only behind the Chiefs.   While I think they should work to balance more I think this shows a concerted effort to change this offense from what we have watched for the last 15 years to a modern NFL offense.   We have been in the stone ages.   I do agree that the designed runs to Allen are perplexing but I like the overall design.  The running game is super efficient.   Pass protection is a concern but Josh reading the defense and making the right throw is the biggest issue.  And dont take that as a "Josh Allen hater", he is not seeing everything as he could but with time I hope that gets better.   He was getting beat up by the all out blitz yesterday, when a seasoned QB would make you pay for doing that (at least once in a while).  With the Dolphins it seemed to always be successful.  I think Allen is the big factor.

     

    Playcalling is a go to excuse when things dont go the way fans want.  

     

    Really? Third down 4 yards to go and he calls a QB sneak?  

     

    It seems to me that Daboll has done this a lot and maybe he thinks NO ONE would ever suspect THAT play and the Bills could score BIG.

    I will have to give him a "we'll C +".

     

    I am half thinking that it is Daboll that is letting games get in HIS head.  Possibly the motive behind all the "trick type plays".

     

    Perhaps a little MORE confidence and he would just try to pound it down their throats. If that does not work THEN resort to smoke and mirrors.

     

    IMHO

    Bills -1 over Philly

    Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't see us scoring more than 17 ponts next week offensively. The defense will have to bail us out.

     

    I re-watched today's game.  Josh Allen played pretty well. 

     

    It was the Bills defense that struggled today.

     

    I suppose if you have to have a bad day, the game against the Dolphins was survivable.

     

    If the defense stinks it up again next week, our record will tell the tale.

    The pirouette. What are the NFL stats on onsides kicks?

    THREE little words - Music City Miracle!  - Sixteen Seconds left on the clock...

    Quote

    After the Bills had taken a 16–15 lead on a field goal with 16 seconds remaining in the game, Titans tight end Frank Wycheck threw a lateral pass across the field to Kevin Dyson on the ensuing kickoff return, and Dyson then ran 75 yards to score the winning touchdown and earn a 22–16 victory.

     

    ^^^^^^^ This is why you go down before the end zone. If Hyde gave himself up the Bills would have had the ball 1st and 10 at the one yard line and would have been able to run out the clock to end the game.

     

    I remember clear as day nearly 20 years ago, I was jumping for joy that we had won the AFC Wildcard game.  The next thing I look over and wonder what the hell was going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    SIXTEEN F___ng SECONDS!

     

    This is a Chess vs Checkers thing.

    I think his issue with the short range stuff was not knowing how to take enough off the ball and footwork. He has improved the footwork and touch but now he seems to need to recalibrate his touch on the longer passes. I think he figures it out. 

     OR...

     

    They have been so focused on working on the short range throws, he has not practiced many loooong passes yet this season.
