Billsfan1972

Been looking for them on the site as heard it second hand. https://nesn.com/2020/12/bill-belichick-not-buying-josh-allen-craze-patriots-coach-clarifies-stance/ So he was proud of his defense in windy Orchard Park, when McD played into his hands. Nice to see Allen allowed to dismantle them at will. Especially love the sour grapes on the Diggs TD pass..... Please explain his thought process that it should have been 10 yards only? Also heard on 'GR on the Davis TD that was called back that Belicheat was messing with Allen as he didn't see a coverage issue, he just was standing beside the official waiting to call timeout.

Just part of what it is to be a fan. You continually worry and create worst case scenarios.

You're right, just that we're on such a roll now. Just can't win sometimes and yes I understand the irony.😆

Don't know how else he could have hit him. The NE TD was aided by a PI (well short of the first down marker on third down at the NE 12 yard line). Actually I was happy top see them score as it then forced Buffalo to score, which sometimes I think they need those type of wake-up calls.

Been so long since the Bills controlled games start to finish. The first three years with McD, yes some convincing wins, but more often then not, one score games. Early this year much the same thing, and that was a concern. Now however I can't help but think about the 2019 Ravens (and yes much can be blamed on Lamar not being tested) & that we are cruising like they were last year and wondering how we'll do in a close game. Yes I know Josh & his fourth quarter stats...... Again a Bye would have been great (and yes sometimes that certainly affects the team), but last year we saw exactly how the Ravens reacted when pushed around (and folded) and there is trepidation that the Bills too need to be ready for a close game, which they haven't had since Arizona. Heck this hasn't happened to the Bills since the early 90's.😜

Yes that felt really good. This is what I wanted the first time they played & was concerned seeing how close to the vest McD played (18 passes only) and allowing NE to stay in the game. Time to stand up to the bully and they did. But Shaw, stop using the word Process please😜. Very simply McD finally trusts his QB, realizes that Offense is the key in the NFL and all is falling into place. As the season has gone on, they are realizing that they can step on someone's throat and put games away. The first 8 games (including two vs. The Jets) the Bills kept games close. Now they're learning to win and that the opponent should fear them (particularly the Offense) and not vice versa. And yes think about it, 48 games & not one 300 yard game and now 8 (and two others over 280) and that is the difference. Last year the most in a game was 266.

A half at most & very simple game plan. Stay sharp, but don't chance anything.

Remember when NE would rub it down the Bills' throats and laughed about it? I was at the game vs. NE, where Gronk almost decapitated White in 2017, just to prove a point. I also remember games where they were happy to run up the score too. Turnabout is fair play.

Very simply, while I thought this was in Allen all along (yes dream big😉), I wasn't sure McD had it in him to realize that this is an Offense first league. Props to McD in changing his style and "unleashing the Kraken😜"

Know it was just last Saturday, but boy I'm itching for them to play tonight. Also so happy Sunday vs. the 'phins not flexed. Been a long time since our coveted 1:00 pm slot!!!!😜

Pretty early on. 3rd/4th quarter deficits vs. Miami, Rams, Arizona (and the Jets???).

I know that is a great stat, but I'd like to see them trailing and how they react. Think the Ravens 2019 and they never seemed to trail and then come the playoffs and as soon as they trailed, they had no idea what to do. Of course we did comeback vs. the Rams, Dolphins & Arizona in the fourth. Just we are going on all cylinders now and sometimes that can be scary.

And that is the point, the Bills made no attempt to help Allen year one & minimal year two. They were too concerned on the other side of the ball and were slow in developing and giving Allen any weapons (remember there were none in 2017 either). The O was predictable and made only baby steps. Yes Allen improved, but more so the light was turned on & McD has finally understood Offense is he key to success. Again look how far ahead young QB's where there is an emphasis on Offense are v. those that think ground & pound is the way to go. Throw them in to the fray and let them sink or swim.

You saw today that they still made some references to years 1-2, but no longer is it wondering if he will regress, but just how friggin good he is. That TD called back handoff to Singletary had the announcers shaking their heads in disbelief, along with the then 22 yard strike to Kumerow...... Interesting too that Diggs made a bad play along the sidelines on a 40 yard pass and acknowledged it too, then a 55 yard strike. So much fun to watch. I swear they're trying to make up for 2017-2019 on offense.😜

Compromise is 4:00 pm September/October, when the weather is nice, then 1 Thursday, 1 SNF & 1 MNF....😉

I'm a Sunday 1:00 pm guy, with an occasional 4:00 pm game. Too many Sunday, Thursday & MNF's just messes with my schedule, especially when the weather gets cold.

It is a process for all organizations and crucial to success. What I roll my eyes at is how this Board (or many on it) took to it & have kept repeating it like some magical special thing that only McD and Beane saw and were so ahead of the curve. McD has shown very good growth this year. Year 1, he completely ignored the offense and showed no ability to address or work to improve it. He gave Peterman an ill fated start that pretty much said everything about his evaluation skills on that side of the ball. Year two he doubled down, naming Peterman his starter and lasting one half again. While they did draft their hope for a franchise QB, again nothing invested on that side of the ball. Year 3 some pieces, but still too close to the vest and coaching mistakes showed some cracks (29th to 24th in offense is not a big jump either). So yes this year has been a revelation, but please do not call/term it "A Process"....

Not again!!!!🙄 So tired of the Process that people have glommed on to. How about well coached and a good culture??? Oh yea & finding a "franchise" Qb and discovering that offense plays a key roll in your success? I'm a basketball fan and for the Toronto Raptors. Never once was the word "process" uttered. They built a team, got the right pieces, a great GM & coaching staff.

Actually I would..... But probably so is Brady, Rodgers & Brees......

Nah I like the Candian flag..... I think it was a joke and Foxworth kept doubling down on HQ and dug such hole that he tried to make a last stand and then made a stupid comment. I wanted TT to succeed and as I have said over & over, McD & the Offense being an afterthought 2017-19 made it tough to succeed. He will always have the Peterman stink following him, but damn he's been so much better this year (save KC & NE game plans).😉

Absolutely right. When was the last time Bills' fans were happy with Offensive ht adjustments?

And the first half he was just a little off and there were a few drops. The pressure too was unrelenting.

It was only from 32 & yes was wide, but not sure if that didn't happen after 32 yards.... Good thing it didn't affect the game or the final result (betting too).

I sort of am disappointed that he just seems off on those passes. Rolling out he is capable of throwing it on a dime 40 downfield, but a staright bomb just doesn't seem to be there at this point (vs. Mahomes & Rodgers). But yes seeing the adjustments he made were great, but I thought he seemed a little bothered by the weather (& the pressure) early on.

Actually 60..... Damn water..... How about a bridge (or our own chunnel).... https://www.distance.to/Buffalo/Toronto#:~:text=Distance from Buffalo to Toronto&text=The shortest distance (air line,59.91 mi (96.41 km).&text=The shortest route between Buffalo,according to the route planner.
