So looking at the reactions to the OP tells me exactly what I need to know about this site. 4 Thumbs Down - Does that mean that the OL played well and that I was wrong about the drops? 2 Laughs - Huh? What was so funny about the thread..... I guess I'm not in on the joke 3 Eye Rolls - I get it, how dare I post anything that could be construed as negative. 1 Agree - Only one agreed that the OL was bad and there were too many drops Always interesting to see these. I juxtapose with last week pro Bills Thread praising the coaching and 88 people agreeing with it. Very obvious, Pro Bills Threads (especially praise of McD) will be applauded, anything the least bit negative (and remember I did not talk about the win, just two observations) are pilloried.

My bad..... Missed the word enjoy.... You got me. Actually you referenced the ColoradoBills comment.... I was pointing out two great JA plays that I say only he & Mahomes make that were the difference.

Do I dive a damn who likes me on some anonymous Bills fan board? Intelligent people I respect as I do smart debate. These are neither. The thread was about the OL play and that I saw a # of drops. You and others brought up yards and the offense and yes I bit and responded. My expectations for the Bills are much higher then some. I'm okay with 9-3, just think they've haven't played too many really good games of late and issues in the second half, but that is another thread, that I'm not going to start.😉 Have you even answered the original post. Was the OL bad and were there too many drops?

Huh????? Again you make no sense. You make a comment that if NE didn't rip off a big play for a TD they score only 3? What does that mean???? BTW it was a pretty simple play they turned into a long TD and was on 2nd and 5 (heck a good bounce & the Bills recover the prior play). I pointed out two plays that very few QB's make both on 3rd down that resulted in an extra 11 points for Buffalo and you're arguing that? Here's a simple question..... Are 3rd and long conversions more important then those on first or second down? I'll answer for you.... YES they are.

Again context..... The thread pointed out that I saw a lot of drops Thursday and that it stuck out to me. Big picture, it mattered little vs. NE Thursday. This happens in the playoffs and the Bills lose, different story. I also noted the Diggs drop was reminiscent of the one late in the game vs. Minny, that would have ended the game effectively. Yes I know many things went wrong that game (and I erased my recording of the game as I was so disgusted), but that was a big drop.

I counted 5..... BTW through week 12, Josh Allen had 22 drops by receivers (Lamar Jackson 26, Mahomes 24) so <2/game. https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php Thursday was unusually high, though only the one by Diggs on third down was one that resulted in a punt.

I am as big a fan as there is. The thread pointed out two things that concerned me. Heck I didn't talk about the win for the most part or what I thought about the game, just that I who seldom get's caught up in the OL and the nuances, saw some terrible play by the line. I also counted at least 5 drops, which is an unusually high amount. Others here seem to get very upset when anyone points out anything the least bit negative. Week 3, the national media already were talking just how good the Bills were and the Superbowl odds were ridiculously low. Allen was by far the MVP favourite too. After the KC win, 16-1 was discussed. Now a 24-10 win vs. NE is considered a watershed moment. I thought it was a little disjointed effort, but again wasn't the point of the thread. Others here changed the narrative and yes I responded. BTW Buffalo Bills lead the league in drops. https://scores.nbcsports.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232

The Bills are a much better team. They should do that. The Jets shouldn't have done it vs. The Bills. Zach Wilson lookd like an NFL qb.....

Just refuting garbage responses. So 5 drops a game is normal according to you? The Bills amassing 355 yards is a good yardstick for this offense? 24 points is a great offensive performance? My expectations are higher. Happy with win, however was just okay. Context...... The comment above was highlighting the importance of Josh that got them to 24 and not 13 points. Two incredible plays that only Allen and Mahomes make.

Yes usually average of 2.2.5. Yesterday I counted 5 by the Bills. But I guess that doesn't matter?

Whoa...... 117 yards on 27 carries is not something to crow on and on about. It was good yesterday, but still under 5 yards a carry. Still were a lot of 2nd and 8's or 9's and third and 3. JA did the heavy lifting.

Forget it. Doesn't fit his narrative. The Bills beat the equivalent of the '86 Bears last night.

Both the Hines and Davis TD was on 3rd down. Those two plays led to 11 points (TD, otherwise a punt and TD vs. FG). Otherwise the final score is 13-10. Yes Josh was the difference plain and simple.

They are 6-6, not a juggernaut. Jones' stats are fraudulent if you ask NE fans who watch every game. Their dvoa is highly skewed on three games versus Indianapolis, New York and shutting out the Detroit Lions & throw in the Pittsburgh game. Otherwise they've been ordinary. 9-15 on third down was pretty much all Allen. Cherry Picked stats? I pointed out the line did not play well and that is the fact. Allen was hit six times, sacked twice and a forced fumble. He makes the line look better than it is. Keep trying

Yes people seem to overlook how many times Josh bails them out. Tom Brady probably is sacked 6 times yesterday and scores 10 points. After the first 3 drives, there was the 94 drive and the rest was certainly disjointed. The Bills were 9-15 on third down and mostly because Josh had to make plays.

Congrats comparing Josh Allen with Zach Wilson...... Got it.... NYJ Offense also stacks up well with Buffalo Bills offense. The Jets should have been blown out of the water, but the Bills Defense made Zach Wilson look good. So now you expect so little out of the Bill offense that 355 yards is a really good performance? Sorry that I expect more.

Chip off the old block my son. Came down this morning and said. Easy win, but really they did not play too well and OL blocking was terrible.

My favourite one......😉 Best actually was vs. KC before half.

What crusade? Humour elude you on the Punt joke (vs. NE)? After two weeks our punter appeared was going to be the 2020's equivalent of the Maytag Repair Man. I didn't make a big deal about the game, have in other posts laughed that we are concerned over a 9-3 record. I mentioned as said that the blocking was not great and that 5 drops is an awful lot in a game (and fortunately didn't matter "THIS" game). A critical eye will also point out other things, but I have only mentioned them when questioned.

5 Dropped passes at least is normal every week? GTFOH Wow the Bills had 355 Yards offense.... Wow what a dominating performance.....😂 We punted vs. NE, something they didn't do the previous 8 quarters vs. them😉. It was a nice win, but still work to do. Just win they did and I brought up two things I saw.

Zach Wilson is not Josh Allen..... Allowing Josh Allen & the Bills time consuming drives (or 2 minute scoring drives) should happen all the time. Allowing a Zach Wilson led NYJ to gash you defense is not good.

Missed you too..... You do know it had been weeks since I started a thread.....😉 Where did I skew it here? Was the pass blocking good last night? Did the Bills not drop a lot of passes? Yes or no answers will do.

I can only imagine the Pats fan boards..... You watch Jones more then anyone here, but Bills fans know him better?? I listen to the Ringer & Bill Simmons echoes what most are saying in NE, that stats mean little concerning Mac Jones, they look okay but belie that he is not playing well. Oh and only the Bills contend with injuries, not other teams.

What with you????? You asked a question as to how many points NE scored the first time vs. NYJ. It was a very unimpressive 22, which I answered. No you, Teef & 1-2 others get all worked up when there is anything perceived at all negative. I started a thread discussing two concerns from yesterday Pass Blocking and Drops. You are turning it into something different.

He dropped a third down pass, not huge, but yes the thread mentioned drops and Diggs unfortunately did drop one and when we we needed a catch vs. Minny it was another one (the fact that both were very similar is why I brought it up. Keep obsessing about it though.
