Heads up play from Spencer Brown there

Boogie with the coverage sack!

Pretty sure Knox misread the coverage on that one. That was a TD if he went outside.

We need Allen to run and get hit early in every game. It jump starts him.

Okay Allen has settled down. He just needed to tackle a linebacker out of bounds.

Run game is really disappointing today. Until Allen takes matters into his own hands of course.

Did that slip out of his hand or did he just read it wrong? Either way terrible start Josh. Come on.

Cam was brought up, he is active today. Which would worry me if this wasn't Houston. He has been abused every time he's seen the field.

Jim Kubiak gave him a 100% performance grade for this game, which I don't believe he has ever done. https://buffalonews.com/opinion/columnists/jim-kubiak-how-does-a-qb-get-a-perfect-grade-dissecting-bills-josh-allen-vs/article_4261a4ae-1fd8-11ec-b6d5-b336c5b8d67c.html

Sanders is the definition of a consummate pro. He's done and seen it all in this league. He knows how to set up DBs and make himself available for his QB. I figured it would take a couple games for him and Allen to find their chemistry. Now that they have it I expect this offense to be even better than they were last year.

It is. But also I need to see us beat the Chiefs to know we can. I don't see us winning a Super Bowl until we make it through them.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. If you watch the Cover 1 breakdown of the WFT game, Allen made a lot of throws with less than ideal footwork and mechanics. Perfect footwork is somewhat overrated in the NFL. QBs don't always have the opportunity to set their feet. For Allen it is more about confidence and rhythm than footwork and mechanics IMO.

I think refs should only throw the flag if it's egregious, and that goes for DPI and OPI. Let them fight a little. If the DB clearly mugs the receiver or tackles him well before the ball gets there that's different. Like I don't mind that St Juste didn't get called on DPI when he wrapped Diggs' legs a little early. I'll tip my cap to a good defensive play. But sometimes that is called DPI and it's the inconsistency that's frustrating. How can DBs practice technique if every officiating crew calls it differently?

On which section? Just curious.

Other than Allen, my takeaway is that Sanders is a lot better than some people on here have given him credit for. Athletically he is not the player he once was but as a route runner he is still close to elite. Gabe Davis is nowhere near his level yet. If Allen continues playing the way he did on Sunday this offense should be even better than it was last year.

I don't think he completely sucks, but he has weak instincts that smart offenses can easily exploit. Washington is not a smart offense. The thing he does at an elite level - taking away passing windows in the middle of the field - was on display in that game. But I am slightly terrified thinking of him covering Kelce in 2 weeks.

As usual Joe Buscaglia kills it with his all-22 analysis. I won't paste the whole thing but here are some snippets: Top 5 grades: 1) Josh Allen 2) Micah Hyde 3) Emmanuel Sanders 4) Cole Beasley 5) Tre'Davious White Bottom 5 grades (worst to 5th worst): 1) Cody Ford 2) Mario Addison 3) Jerry Hughes 4) AJ Epenesa 5) Ed Oliver

If they cut him before June 1 it's a $3.6 million dead cap hit all in 2022 but they save $5.3 million on the cap in that scenario. Or if they cut him post June 1 they can spread the dead cap out, $1.8 million in 2022 and 2023. So there is some flexibility built in. If Spencer Brown continues to look the part there's no sense in paying Darryl Williams when an equal or better replacement is waiting in the wings. If Williams keeps playing well maybe we can even get a decent draft pick back in a trade next offseason. Free up some cap and get a pick back without missing a beat.

He is going to make Darryl Williams expendable next year. We can trade or cut him in the offseason without a lot of dead cap, open up some space for Taron Johnson. Nice to have a GM that plans ahead.

I would rather go 1-2 beating just the Chiefs than go 2-1 beating Bucs and the Titans. This team needs to get over that hump. I feel it is inevitable that we will need to beat them in January to take the next step.

Does anyone else not feel entirely like it is a game week? Usually by now I'm already anxious for Sunday to be here. It just doesn't feel the same.

Good on Rapoport to let everyone know about his "minor" calf strain. Do you think he typed that verbatim, or did he just hand his phone to the agent?

I feel like the Bills should start game planning to intentionally allow one pass rusher into the pocket. Allen makes his best throws in those situations.
