Howdy all Bills fans on this gray Saturday (if you're up here in the 716, that is, could be breezy and beautiful for some of y'all, I don't know where youse live!) anywho...
Didn't see this posted up anywhere just yet, also seems to be a brand new video just dropped earlier today. Don't know how many of you follow some of the writers from The Athletic but their stuff is generally pretty good.
Analyst breaks down some of the plays Bills ran out of 22 personnel against KC last week and just shows the emphasis they put on utilizing Gilliam and the TE crew. Seemed like it was pretty effective.

He's been insanely fun to watch this season. Every week I'm like, "welp, he'll probably get slowed down this week" not to the point of like 13 carries for 11 yards or anything, but more like, "he won't be breaking so many runs that go for 7 or more" but then he does. There he goes for 14, 8, 12, 7, 9, like almost every time.
His vision is really good and some of the OL guys have talked about how he's really skilled in the way he sets up his blocks.
He's shown improvement every year. I remember his first couple of seasons he was a really easy guy to tackle, often going down on first contact. But then he said his prayers and took his vitamins and now he breaks tackles and runs over dudes.

I have to admit being so pampered by Josh's talent that plays like that are no longer a surprise.
Yeah, I hear that. I try not to take it for granted, the dudes a unicorn and I've no idea if we'll ever see another one like him. Sometimes I'll think about the future like "one day he's gonna retire and that's gonna suuuuck" because I dunno if I can go another 15 years of the foosball gods making us suffer with QBs from the realm of mediocrity.

That's easy, Carl Cheffers.
I'm not a violent guy but I'm pretty certain I'd kick an NFL official in the nuts and feel no remorse. No ragrets!

My conspiracy take is that Josh got his bell rung really hard against the Pats. He scrambled and on the tackle his head whiplashed into the turf. He appeared a little wobbly when teammates helped him up and the game broadcast went to another shot. You could hear the analysts kind of beginning to wonder if something had happened but they went silent on that real quick and then just went back to calling the game. About 7-8 minutes went by until we saw a shot of Josh on the bench.
It was just a weird sequence IMO. Usually if it appears like a player may have been hurt but was able to get to the sidelines the analysts discuss it while the cameras follow said player for a beat. The fact that everything in this situation was opposite of how it usually goes was interesting.
The next few drives they had the dude was way off on a number of throws.
Again, just my conspiracy take.

I'm pretty sick of those red rat bastids. It would be cool if they were all forced to do a 10 mile barefoot Lego hike.

Yeah that's definitely not ideal. I'm also on the "try throwing it to Jimmy sometimes" bandwagon as he has been targeted exactly 0 times in the last two games.
It's weird because with Dorsey's offense, the passing game was centered around more intermediate and longer routes that they would hit on for 15, 20, 25 yards or whatever, but they never generated a lot of YAC in that scheme.
Now the pendulum has swung in the complete opposite direction. They can hit on all these shorter throws near the LOS and create some solid YAC, some of those plays even break loose for a big score (like Shakir has done twice this season). But now they can't hit anything down the field with a QB who has a rocket for a right arm and excels at those kinds of throws. I mean, it's awesome how he's improved a lot on the short stuff and that should certainly have a place in their system but right now it's just really unbalanced with the short stuff being somewhat successful and the down field stuff being nearly non-existent.

Son of a biscuit!
He just got back. Stupid jerky jerk Panthers guy ran him over. That guy should be mandated to step on at least 362 Legos.

Scoring a franchise-record in points last season wasn’t good enough for you?Right? And the "real pro offense" he's looking for probably looked a lot like what Ken Dorsey was doing. Longer developing routes and the mindset of, "hey we just line up and do our thing and see if they can stop us and if they stop us then, uh, I will throw my headset!"
Brady has gotten a little ahead of himself at times but generally has been better at making adjustments.

they need to trade waddle to us for picks
It would be the considerate thing to do, really. I would offer 14 magic jelly beans for one Waddle.

If we lose to the Panthers the only trade I want to see is with SF. Josh Allen for a 1st. Let him go with a competent organization.
But back to your premise if we get Olave I want another WR, too.
Ridley and Olave - sending Samuel or Davis or someone else young would be fine - is what i would take.
Turn in your fan card, now. It's revoked.

Haha these types of things always remind me of some of the folks who call into WGR.
I dunno about Fitz, but my "call into WGR" would be can someone get Stevie Johnson in here to teach his crossover move to the WRs? C'mon, Keon is a basketball guy too I bet he could pick up on it and start getting CBs all turned around like Stevie used to do with Revis. Anyway, I'll hang up and listen.

Josh was likely concussed. He got his head slapped off the turf early in the 3rd quarter.
Josh is also a pro's pro, so he'll never get pulled unless the lights go out for >10 seconds.
Yeah I don't like to speculate but I had the same thought. I thought it was kinda interesting how they showed the replay and pointed out how he bonks his head on the turf but wouldn't cut to a shot of him on the sidelines or anything. That's not super unusual but typically they go to a shot of whichever player is being talked about. Made me wonder if he was getting checked out on the sidelines or something.
And then he came out in the second half and had some good plays but also seemed like he was pressing a bit to make a big play and he just either didn't see some open guys out there or he did and didn't fire it for whatever reason.
At the same time, it seems like they're good for one kinda "WTF was that?!" game every year in the McBeane Era. Last year it was Houston. Year before that was Jacksonville, etc.

I actually have never seen a crew nit pick the oline like that ever. The interior holding calls were not holds. None of them. Even the illegal procedure and false starts were not good calls.
they called the pats for that one false start on 3rd and inches, and their lineman didn’t even move. It was like he was taking a breath and they called it.
I think it was one of their TEs that twitched a tiny bit.

I go into every game expecting the usual awfulness from the officials and I've been able to pretty much just shrug and move on from every ridiculous call because that's just the way it goes.
That said, the refs were out of their minds last night. They'll say they wanna call a tight game but that seems kinda silly when they call 11 penalties on one team and 0 on the other thru an entire half. When they're calling super weak holds that happen on virtually every play and you're only throwing the flag on one team it just makes them look incompetent. Not that they care.

I'd say, it was a bad game by everyone all around.......blaming one player when the whole team **** the bed is not the correct answer here.
Reminds me of a quote from the movie Baseketball. "Well, it was a team effort, and it took every player working together to lose this one."
Fumbles, drops, penalties, a pick, inconsistent pressure, OL struggles, missed tackles, etc. Take your pick. And then Maye was ridiculous escaping some of those sacks, so annoying.
Crap happens. Get over it and get it together for the next one.

I'm not sure what some youse expect anymore. They're winning games and there's so much "yeah, but..." about everything. They have flaws like any team.
Offensively I feel like they have the best of both worlds right now. Jimbo and the OL are killing it and have created one of the best rushing attacks in the league. And then if they struggle with the run there's this Jorsh Allen guy at QB, handsome, 6'5", rocket for a right arm, you know, that fella is pretty good. He can sling it to a pretty diverse group of skill players who can have their number called at anytime.
I don't much care that they don't have a "true #1 WR" or if the plays aren't exciting enough, or even if some of the play calls have seemed a little wonky, they're winning games.
And despite some folks thinking they should just be obliterating every opponent, I guess they need reminded that most opponents are also comprised of professional players, a lot of whom have something to prove and especially wanna show that against a perennial contender like the Bills. They're always gonna get everyone's best shot. Most teams are gonna play inspired football against the Bills. Except maybe Miami. For years now it looks like their team spirit is about as lively as a little worm danglin' on a hook in some little Florida pond.
I'm sure we'll see plenty more exciting plays. I think we also might see a fair amount of games where most starters are punched out and kicked back on the bench early in the 4th quarter.

Shakir! That's why I call him the Pinball Wizard. No, not because he plays with silver balls but the dude bounces off tackles and just keeps truckin'.

Dang, Montgomery wasn't gonna be denied. He's been a beast all game.

If you love blocked field goals then today is your day. Eagles blocked two, Browns got one, Jets did the ol' block, scoop and score and Tampa still came back and kicked the game winner anyway. 😆

The injury last season really slowed him down. He was out there but you could see that they had to scale back in the game plan how much they could use him due to his limitations.

I thought Walker got a little piece of it when I saw it live. Looks like it brushes off his arm.

Right? It's as if many of these guys need a little bit of on the job experience before they reach their top potential.
