    The team thats been on the field the last 6 quarters of football shows up in Lambeau, then we can and will beat the Packers.  

     

    The D over the last 6 quarters can slow this Packers offense down, especially since the Packers OL isn't very good, the run game is sputtering as usual there, and Rogers isnt 100%.  And the Packer D is just not very good, so good chance for our offense to keep gelling and Allen to keep improving.  By no means am I guaranteeing a win or making some $5k wager on them, but I just really think this is a game this team can win.  We just have so much momentum and energy coming out of this Vikes game that I think this team has a chip on its shoulder and is going to be another surprise odds upset next week.  

    I like your optimism.  It is going to be interesting if the team can sustain the effort they put forth yesterday.  I hope you are right.

    So spot on, predicting that Shady would contribute and the close 23-21 score.  All he guessed right was the number of turnovers, which at 3 is a safe reasonable amount to predict for a win over a good team.

     

    I was also telling people before the game that we were going to win, including that our defensive performance was going to carry over from the second half of the Chargers game.  I just didn't think to throw it up on the forum for the "glory".

     

    But hey hail the inanimate carbon rod and you may now all flame me for crapping on the party with common sense. 

    Hey, the Bills just had an incredible win, enjoy it.  This was just a light hearted post. You are awesome too.  It sounds like you prediction was really spot on.

     

    Any thoughts on Green Bay?

    With Allen's fearless playing style we need a backup Qb.

    If you haven't figured it out yet, McD loves Nathan Petermen or we would have been waived weeks ago.

     

    There are some QBs available but McD obviously is not interested in any of them.

     

    I don't agree with this but it is what it is

    I have expressed that same concern in previous threads.  If Allen goes down for an extended period of time we are in big trouble. 

    A few thoughts about the Vikings game, in no particular order

    From week to week under McDermott, I make a comment about the intensity of this team.  Sometimes they show up and others, well......   Today they showed up an in a way that no one saw coming.  And after two straight weeks where the opening drives dictated the flow and momentum of the game, whether it be through penalty or broken play, this week was no different; except for it being in the Bills favor

     

    1 - Allen - I've really took some shots at Allen last week and I'm happy to go the other way this week.  For clarity, these comments are always about the week and only that week.  I want the kid to succeed more than anyone else and this game would make you think he could.  I only have a few things I would like to see improve next week, but he overall played an amazing game.  His touch passes this week were dramatically improved from last week and his accuracy as well.  His first TD pass, albeit wide open, was a pass he may have missed last week.  His two TD runs were a display of his size and athleticism.  On the flip side, not entirely his fault each time, I'd like to see him connect on a deep ball.  He's a little sloppy holding the ball when the pressure is coming.  But to end it on a good note; his dump off pass to Ivory was beautiful.  He stepped away from the pressure, created time, found Ivory, and placed it perfectly.  That was easily my offensive play of the game.  Oh yeah, and if he tries to jump over Barr again, someone needs to slap some sense into him.

     

    2 - Hughes - If he's not the defensive MVP, it's close with Milano.  Hughes played out of his mind today.  He was our Mack today and did everything you'd want him to do.  His strip sacks were as important to the outcome of this game as anything else and he didn't slow down.  He killed multiple drives today and had Cousins jittery all day.   Fantastic day

     

    3 - Milano - I can't remember seeing a game where Milano was more hyped up than today.  He wasn't just all over the field, he was laying the wood.  I mean, WOW.  If this is the type of player he's going to be, then we are all set for years to come at OLB.  I was just thinking about how we haven't brought in an INT all season and then one literally fell into his lap.  He was great in coverage as well against the run.  Like the rest of the D, just fantastic.

     

    4 - The hardest skill to acquire in this sport is the one where you compete all out, give it all you have, and you are still getting beat no matter what you do. When you have the killer instinct to fight through that, it is very special.

     

    5 - Edmunds - There's been a few threads and call outs about Edmunds being slow and hesitant.  Not today.  While he didn't make any game changing plays, he was overall solid today.  He was fast, quick to the ball, decisive, and overall showed glimpses of what a first round pick should become.  Great game for him and freed up a lot of other guys to make plays

     

    6 - Overall Defense - When you are pitching a shutout for as long as we did, especially after the first two games, it's hard to not focus on them so much.  The intensity we saw from the second half of the Charges game carried over into a tough stadium.  I was impressed by how loud that crowd was to start the game and we shut them up.  The push up the middle and overall pass rush was something we've been waiting for all season.  Even Kyle was having his way today.  We even sent some LB's on blitzes today to mix it up.  Until the game was well in hand, we showed a lot of different fronts and were able to generate pressure.  Tre White was solid breaking up some passes, even on his BS penalty.  With the turmoil at the DB position, it just goes to show what a solid pass rush can cover up.  Overall, if this is how our defense is going to play, we are in good shape.

     

    7 - WR's - I was going to make a point about Zay and Kelvin, but why waste the space.  Kelvin's drop on the second drive led to his temporary benching and I was happy to see it.  He needs to realize how little he's proved and his next contract is getting smaller by the game.  With Zay being our #2, we didn't hear his name called until the 3rd quarter.  For us to score like we did without any contributions from these two guys was an interesting point for me.  I'm not sure where we go from here with these guys, but McD needs to figure it out.

     

    8 - Daboll - Another guy I've dogged this season.  His playcalling today was impressive.  His screen passes, quick outs, and even deep shots were well timed.  He knew when to mix in the run game and overall called a pretty perfect game.  Take some drops out of the equation and this game is even more of a blowout.  We were smart, effective, and overall a solid offense out there with limit weapons.  I hope to see more of this.

     

    9 - Special Teams - Outside of one poor punt, much better performance today from our punter.  Good to see after the past few weeks.  Maybe there's hope yet.  Hauschka was fantastic all day and hit with ease.  Coverage on punts and kick-offs didn't give away dumb yards as we have in previous games.  Solid grade here as well.

     

    10 - McDermott - Just when people started to question him as a coach, he pulls you back in.  The team was ready, came out strong, didn't fade out, didn't make mistakes or get comfortable.  This is the team we were hoping to see today and his players really showed up for him.  My biggest question is, will we continue to see this up and down performance this year or can he get these guys on the same page week to week.  I don't expect blow outs nor do I expect playoffs, but coming out flat like we did the last two weeks was unacceptable.  If we can win this game on the road without Shady and the other injuries, then there's no excuse to not be competitive from here on out.

     

    Today felt good.  I think we all needed it.  To have the penalties and other things go our way and now squander it was a testament to the process and what we are trying to achieve.  It goes to show that the NFL is different week to week and we are capable of playing with anyone.  This Vikings team is as solid as they come in the league and we blew them out in their stadium.  Enjoy the week everyone knowing what we can do.


    Go Bills!

    Wow.  Great analysis.   Thank you for those thoughts. 

     

    I was in awe of the way the bills played today.  It is going to be interesting to see if this level of intensity can be sustained going forward.  I am also looking forward to see if Dabol can continue to mix up game plans for Allen to keep the league guessing.   

     

    Go Bills!

    He was clearly joking.

    May be, but Sanchez is better than Peterman.

    I came up with a mantra yesterday and it really helped me. At the start of each series I utter this phrase. "Nothing bad can or ever will happen to Josh Allen. He is an indestructible, albino, concrete gorilla with a bionic arm." 

     

    Try it, you'll feel better. And this is not a joke, I really did it.

    lol.  That alternative is better that Peterman as well.  I may give it a try.

    Matt Moore would be my choice.   He is not the long term solution, but he would give us an experienced back up.  He would be able to help Josh develop, and would be an upgrade to Peterman.

    Just now, BurpleBull said:

     

    Despite all that's been said about Peterman's week one start, he still finds himself on the roster with no competition behind him.

     

    That's not by chance.

     

    The coaches likely feel good enough about the QB's they have to work with.

     

     

    I hope you are right.  I believe he needs additional time to develop.  A veteran like Moore would help him as well.  I am not sure if the Bills would keep 3 qbs on the active roster though.

    Then again.  Gentry played at little Wyoming and didn’t face any ‘real’ competition so he must not be any good and will absolutely be a bust when he faces ‘real’ competition.  You may have seen that argument made before too.  

    I really appreciate your insight and you sharing your experiences with watching Josh in college.   I live in Las Vegas,  and I questioned the wisdom of drafting a quarterback from the Mountain West conference.  But I was so wrong.  He is an amazing athlete.   We come to two Bills Drive.  Glad to have you on our bandwagon.

    The Vikings game has gotten the Bill's fan base totally pumped.   What a complete team performance!   With the reckless abandoned style being played by the wonder kid, Josh Allen,  "I keep thinking can he stay healthy"?

     

    I am a true be over in what Beane has done to re-mold this team.  I thought he was crazy picking up and starting an unproven punter.  I was completely wrong.

     

    I do still question why we have not pi ked up a veteran free agent quarterback to start to learn out offense so he can eventually replace letterman as the #2 qb.  

     

    If Josh goes down, the last person I want to see behind center for the Bills is Peterman.   

     

    What are we waiting for?

     

    Thoughts?
