Nope, I use my travel mug from that game 1-2x/week and start those mornings remembering the JA17 snap fumble and Lewis not knocking it down. (Absent being a Bills fan, it was a great football game.)

Ben Johnson

Like a sad version of the Kevin James meme

Hopefully he does less short yardage shotgun, more Philly Specials, and maybe not so many plays where 2-3 of our WRs are running routes in the same spot.

Dorsey, see door. Right before that left deep out INT play (a bad decision/throw by JA17), a fan behind me (I think of DEN) said “let me guess double deep outs” which then happened. Predictable. Unimaginative. Designs that strike fear into the hearts of no one save maybe some Bills players and fans. Interested to hear Diggs’ take on this. Anyone know if Brady prefers booth to field? I think JA17 needs someone in his face and chewing him out like those Daboll clips.

They do make big stops, and that is without 3 pillars on defense, but after they have been on the field all game yes they expectedly struggle toward the end. Like has been mentioned, the defense also gets regularly screwed by being given short fields and yet still holds up often. Once again, this is on the offense. Edit: I will say that someone has to stop slathering our defenders’ arms in butter pregame. Never seen so many missed sacks and tackles, and under a defensive-minded HC.

Not seeing how it wasn’t either incomplete or a fumble. Would have been nice to see a challenge flag thrown there.

Sign him now so he can be up to speed and active by the Super Bowl

My guess is they watched Linval’s wrestling smackdown of Burrow on a loop

Is reverse considered a gear?

Imagine if our offense lost Diggs, Morse, and Cook for the year, and Dawkins’ level of play suddenly fell off a cliff. That’s the equivalent of what our defense is dealing with having lost White, Jones, and Milano for the year, and Miller not returning to form.

What’s his favorite charity? Let’s make this happen 😬

They could have run better on us but they just wanted to try different styles of offense.

Chargers because I hate the Jets.

Probably echoing others but they barely used Hines on offense to begin with and his return game success was awesome but due for a regression to the mean.

Davis, Cook, and Knox are average to above average. The entire OL probably falls in that category too. Not sure where you’re going with the egg basket metaphor. My expectations for the defense are around where they would be for the offense if it lost Diggs, Morse, and Cook for the year. We clearly did put resources into the OL having signed McGovern, drafted Torrence in Round 2, and our competition for Brown was injured. (Don’t get me wrong; I’ll almost never be upset at resource allocation toward either line.) I’m not quite to Fire Dorsey but to me the talent is there on offense. The defense just got ravaged by injuries including Miller’s lack of return to form.

He should be our Lil Dirty Plus. Would love to get a Cole Beasley Plus (and that’s no knock on Kincaid who is just not in that mold).

Move on from Tre asap regardless. Love him but the best ability is availability. Von at least see how he closes out this season. If he somehow turns it around then try to rework some terms with him. Otherwise move on from him asap. Again the best ability is availability. Knox’s contract is bad but not as bad. It aligns with Kincaid being paid relative peanuts. If you look at total allocation of cap to the position compared to total talent at the position then I think it becomes more palatable. (Draft a WR in first two rounds this April and roll out designated pass catchers of Diggs, Kincaid, Rookie, and Knox, with Shakir/Harty/Sherfield platooning at WR3. Good weapons. Just need to actually use them.)

I think the Bills have some real problems. But can’t wait to see how this thread’s argument develops if we win the next 2 and are sitting at a paper tigery 7-4 record.

Plus, hasn’t the book on beating Burrow largely been about rushing 3 and playing tight coverage?

What if we played on a triangle field with 5 footballs and to tackle you have to pin the ballcarrier down for 7 seconds and then yell Yahtzee! Seriously, I will echo the idea that the Kincaid fumble was the single biggest reason we lost. We score a TD on that drive and who knows what happens.

Sure but we have Diggs to fake it to. He had similar success with short passes last night that could have set up a play faking it to him.

Bills fans expect an offense with Allen, Diggs, and a first round pass catcher to be productive… and they should. For the last 4 games they have not scored more than 10 points in the first 3/4 of the game. That’s bad for any offense, and especially for one with a top 5 QB and without any significant injuries. This defense, already decimated by injuries, is constantly on the field. Time of possession is wildly in opponents’ favor. Coach is doing no favors blitzing guys like Burrow when success has mostly been had against him by rushing three. But they held a top offense last night to an amount of points our offense should be able to match or best. Including basically shutting them down second half.

Diggs & Jackson. Kincaid had his game ball punched out.
