  1. The Bills seem most effective in the two minute offense when Allen is making most of the decisions.  I remember something similar 35 years ago when the Bills noticed that Kelly could move the ball at will in the hurry up offense. Eventually they used the hurry up offense nearly all the time and Kelly called most of the plays.  The Bills didn't go to those four Super Bowls because of their defense.  Perhaps the Bills should give the Allen the reins for a series or two and see what happens when he calls his own plays.

    I wonder what our win percentage was with 13 seconds left against KC last year and then this game after we stuffed Cousins.  Just amazing to think you can come away with 2 losses when you had to be over 95 percent in those games, both in last minute.   And I would love to know the exact percentages. 

     

    Dunno about the KC game, but I'm pretty sure the odds of losing this game after Cousins was stuffed was multiple thousands to one.

    Sounds like they were not happy with his practice habits earlier in the season. If you don't bring your A game to every single practice under this coaching staff, you will not get opportunities to play. Hopefully he's learned what it takes to succeed at the professional level and he can start being a major factor for the offense.

     

    It will be interesting to see how quickly he figures it all out.  He's surrounded by some consummate professionals, including Devin Singletary who, as Josh Allen says, does everything right and gets the most of out of his talent.   I believe Singletary worked out with Cook in Florida in the off season and has said he wants to provide him the same sort of mentoring for him that he got from Frank Gore.  Cook has no excuse not to excel.

    Allen's stated self-improvement project this off-season was to improve YAC.

     

    Well, he delivered.

     

    This is the pattern with Allen. Every year, he looks back on the previous season, figures out what he can do better, and works with Jordan Palmer to improve it.

     

    Based on his performance so far this season, in the next off season he's going to struggle to find out stuff to fix.

    I think Motor is a helluva back. He can do it all. Very reliable 

    We're just a pass 1st team.

     

    And bright with plenty of situational awareness.  He had an opportunity to score a TD, but he had the sense to go down on the 2 yard line this week.  He's a smart player.

     

    Contrast this with McKenzie who failed to get out of bounds on the last play of the Miami game.

    Wanted to see what the level of concern is for our Bills after the tough loss in Miami. Regardless of how you view Tua and the Dolphins, it seems likely that they will control 1st place in the AFC East for the foreseeable future.

     

    I am as optimistic as any about about our chances this year; however, I think most would agree that reaching our ultimate Super Bowl goal this year will be impacted by our ability to secure the #1 seed in the AFC.

     

    Miami's upcoming schedule:

    @NYJ

    Pit

    @Det

    @Chi

    Cle

    Bye

    With Miami now essentially having a 2 game lead with the tiebreaker, our injury situation, and difficult next 4 games, how confident are you in Buffalo regaining control in the AFC East (and competing in the home field race)?

     

    I think today clearly demonstrated we are superior to the Dolphins, but sometimes the best team does not always prevail.

     

    Thoughts? Go Bills!

     

    Very confident.  The Dolphins are an improving team, but Dolphins don't do well in the cold. On a frozen windy December in Buffalo, the Bills should win handily which will negate today's game.  None of the other leading contenders in the AFC look like world beaters, so the Bills still look good for the number one seed.

     

    But then, we're only three weeks into the season.

    I haven't seen Allen push a pass like the one to Mckenzie in a very long time. He forgot all about his foot work. They beat themselves. 

     

    1. Miss fg opportunities right before halftime 

    2. Dropped TD by Davis 

    3. Dropped pick 6 Malino 

    4. Missed fg from what 39 yards

    5. Not running the ball at the 1 yardline then Allen turns back into rookie/ first year Allen and throws a push pass to a wide open Mckenzie 

     

    Where was Diggs and Davis big time players have to step up in big time moments THEY BEAT THEMSELVES.

     

    They did beat themselves.  The weather didn't help.  It was like the Bataan Death March out there.  But Miami is also a rapidly improving team.

    It's not just the running,  it's the continued refusing to slide and run out of bounds. He keeps saying I will, then doesn't. He has got to stop seeking contact. 

     

    Everyone needs a hobby. Some people collect stamps, some people watch football games.  Allen's hobby is running through and over linebackers and defensive backs.

  9. Good team guy, hard worker, and mildly competent, but the offense in that 2018 wild card playoff game (Jacksonville over Buffalo, 10-3) was just so painful to watch.  Taylor was 17 of 37 for 134 yards and one interception.  He was injured on the last drive and replaced by Peterman.  That sums him up for me.

    Having highlights with any song never works... It takes away from actually watching the highlights with the announcers screaming when something good happens.

    Although I don't like the song, the clips in the video were cut at good times to go along with the music. So 10/10 to the creator.

     

    The most important thing is that Josh Allen likes the song - this particular song is on his pre-game playlist.

    Hot take: Kelly was a very good QB, not an elite QB. He belongs in the HOF because of his winning. He is in the Fouts/Moon/Aikman/Griese/Warner tier of HOF QBs not the Brady/Montana/Peyton/Elway/Marino tier.

     

     

     

    This may be a bit unfair.  As we saw last year in several games, Buffalo weather is not kind to quarterbacks.  If he played in San Diego or Miami, he would have had a lot more passing yards.
