I'd say more like 20 touches with at least 15 rushes. Take the ball out of Allen's hands and give give it to the RB

The Bills defense is playing at a championship level...offense not so much

This would have would have given the game an entirely different look

Should have been doing this from the start! Singletary in the flat, Beas all day

I dunno about him being a bum, but Feliciano did look better at center with Long at guard

They love it when Allen looks bad so they can feel good about disliking him to begin with

The Ravens D line is pushing the Bills line backwards...the Bills O line stinking it up! Can't hold a pass block. Can't run block. This is like the Eagles game all over again.

At least Daboll is calling quick outs now

Finally, Beasley! FIRST DOWN

I agree, and why the deep throws when Allen's deep pass has been off all season? Get Knox and Beasley into this game. This is Daboll falling on his face...

The Ravens pass rush doesn't work when you run the ball!!

THATS whats been needed!!!! Run the ball and take the pressure off the QB!

You again, with the throw first game plan! What has worked the last three wins was running the ball more and passing less. A balanced offense with the run game working so it all isn't on the QB.

Allen is still inexperienced and the game shouldn't be all on his shoulders to win it. Daboll needs to make the run game work which will settle down the QB and if you must pass, make it quick short outs, slants to help the QB gain confidence.

This is the old Daboll showing up with calling more passes and refusing to find ways to make the run game work...so the Ravens pin their ears back and go after Josh.

LORAX tops my list! From special teams to the pro bowl and the MVP of the pro bowl. In my view his veteran leadership epitomizes what you want in a team player. I was an Allen guy before the draft and still think he will be the best of the bunch. Smoke, Beasley, Knox, Feliciano, Ford, Tre, Milano, Oliver and so many others. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

That #1 Ravens run game works right into the Bills weakest area as the Bills are 14th in rush yards allowed. The Ravens are averaging 5.6 yards per rush attempt. I'm really hoping we don't see another roll over in like what happened to the Rams as their run defense is about the same as Buffalo stat wise. The Ravens got the lead and never looked back. The Rams only rushed for 22 yards on 9 carries and went pass happy with 37 pass attempts, 0 TDs, 2 INTs. The Bills need to do exactly what they did against the Cowboys and get the run game going! Find a way to stop that #1 rush offense and make them pass. Then get the pass rush working while they attempt to throw and go pass happy. Whats crazy is that Dallas had a very good passing offense and they couldn't get it working correctly because they didn't even try to run the ball after their first drive in the 3rd quarter. The Bills also need lady luck on their side with the turnovers, make them fumble and get interceptions while not turning the ball over themselves. Also, limiting the penalties. This team has been gaining confidence over the last three wins and the Bills OC Brian Daboll has been doing a great job since going up in the booth. Hope they keep the win streak going!

On another note, Perry Fewell will be the new interim head coach of the Panthers. Funny thing is the 2015 Carolina Panthers were 15-1 and went to the SB... So many of those coaching changes I suggested will depend on how those teams finish the season.examples, Miami 3-9 with Jets, Giants, Bengals, Pats. winning most of them and the HC might just keep his job. NY Jets 4-8 with Miami, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Bills. Only 5 wins in 2019 might get Gase fired.

oops, forgot about da cowpies! Anything less then anything but a big run in the playoffs and Jason Garrett is a gonner.

Firing the guy was a mistake IMHO. He will have a job asap. This firing is the first of many too. Miami Jets Cleveland Cincy Jacksonville Denver Chargers Giants Redskins Detroit Atlanta all could be looking at hiring a new HC.

Great read, love this stuff! It looked like Josh was changing the play call at the line quite often against Dallas and the result was usually good. The last few games it also looked like Brian Daboll has stuck with the run game even when the team got behind in points. Thinking back on those late 80's, early 90s' offenses it reminded me what helped make that offense work so well was the run game as Thurman Thomas was about 70% of the offense in running, receiving. Thurman's ability to read and hit the cutback hole was unreal and it makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to incorporate Ole Teds version of the Redskins "counter trey" run scheme in which the O line takes one step one way and reverts the other way. This makes the defense hesitate briefly and once they commit Thurman is hitting that hole and is gaining big yards. Most of those glory years Thurman was also the teams second leading receiver behind Andre Reed with more receptions then James Lofton, Don Beebe. Everyone made a big deal about the K-gun offense and yet those teams usually ran the ball more then they threw it. 1988, 454 passing attempts vs 528 rushing attempts. 1989, 478 vs 532. 1990 with the #1 scoring offense in the NFL 425 vs 479. In 1991, 516 passing vs 505 rushing with the the Bills offense #4 in passing yards and #1 in rushing yards. Thurman Thomas 1407 yards rushing, 631 yards receiving gave him over 2000 yards of offense that season. 1992, 509 attempts passing, 549 attempts rushing. Thomas over 2000 yards again with 1487 yards rushing, 626 yards receiving. 1993, 497 attempts passing, 550 attempts rushing. Backup RB Kenneth Davis was also a big part of that Bills offense as he would spell Thurman without a huge drop off much like Singletary, Gore. With Daboll up in the booth and the play calling looking so much better this years offense should see improvements in the passing stats going forward.

That 49ers #1 defense already with the hands on their hips and panting breathlessly... The Ravens are just so fast with that offense, jeez

Nice write up Virgil! What a great team win and it was an entire team today, coaches, players! The Bills overcame the penalties, the refs, the loud crowd and playing on the road during a short week. Great day to be a Bills fan!

I agree. Gotta give it up to Daboll who has looked like a really good OC the past few weeks! Being up in the booth might have been the answer for him to see and read the defense and relay it to Josh. I thought for sure if the Bills had gotten behind in this game that Daboll would go pass happy, and he didn't. Very well called game plan and execution by the players. Hats off to Dabs! Josh's nickname for him.

When the NFL world watched this game it made me wonder if any of the seven teams in front of Buffalo now regret passing on Allen. Cleveland, NY Giants, NY Jets, Cleveland again, Denver, Indy. Pretty sure Giants and Broncos fans are now crying in their beer!
