So basically there is not aggressively tackling a guy to stop him from getting a first down anymore. If a guy catches it before the sticks and his momentum is going forward you just have to let him have the first down.

I did? You now misread two times........slow down, look at the words carefully.

I think you misread. That is why I said the Bills defense chewed up the Viking offense, cause they did.

The problem is not fantasy football it is fantasy of the mind by blinded by love homers. I was responded to a comment that said Josh Allen chewed up and spit out the Viking defense. Like I said Josh Allen played great against a great defense and made some outstanding individual plays. I think we as fans have good reason today to be very optimistic in what we have with Allen. But I just dont agree that Josh Allen chewed up and spit out the Vikings defense, they scored one TD that was not on a short field. Yes the Bills went conservative in the second half I get that. But the reality is they scored more than half their points on short fields given to him by the defense. You want some critical analysis, consider that the Bills and Vikings gained the same amount of yards in the game, 292. Which unit really chewed up and spit out the other? Its the Bills defense that chewed up and spit out the Vikings offense, that was the key to the game.

He looked great against a great defense but 196 yards is not chewed up and spit out. He took advantage of the opportunities that were given to him by the defense and made some nice individual plays.

I had written it off after last season and the beginning of this year but I agree this was probably the key to the game. The pass rush gave the Bills short fields and that was huge. I was getting tired of watching Hughes beat a guy and fail to finish/wrap up, it seems like that has happening for a couple years. Obviously something has changed.

The evidence was clear and convincing....no clue how that was not a pass.

Vontae Davis?

No Dez is a loser....this would end similar to the Vontae Davis signing.

Im just glad he retired and didnt find some bs injury to get his full salary/bonus. That money will be helpful next year.

its not a bad day if he is wealthy and the money is inconsequential to him. If it was a meaningful sum of money in his life then he is just stupid.

That play really illustrates how bad the rule is. If Tre does not come hard he will get the first down, the only way to stop the receiver before the first down marker is to bring the wood which he did. His head was off to the side, helmets touched....that is a penalty? It is happening to all teams but man that was a great play, not a penalty!

Night and day between this week and last week. I did not see much good last week. However telling the ref a pass was a pass was nothing.....of course he knew it was a pass, they called a pass in the huddle and then he threw it.

Wonder what they would do to the Vikings

not if he showed up

The numbers in the title of this thread dont have much meaning. But I do find it interesting that a few years back the Bills had Watkins(always hurt), Woods(just a blocker), Hogan (a lacrosse player who would only make the Bills roster) and Goodwin (made of glass). The fanbase wanted a couple Julio Jones'. The reality was the team had talent at WR but no QB to get the ball to them....it starts with the QB, a QB can make a WR, WR's cannot make a qb.

I wonder if they like Peterman as backup QB. I expected them to sign a vet with some experience.

If he "unretires" the Bills will probably be forced to just waive him and then he would get most of the money.

Thats it! Im jumping.....see ya fellas.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe he is a Wolf slayer

He's a fine young man

I can see a scenario where they agreed to a total "tear it down" and rebuild plan. Why would that not be feasible if it is in the best interest of winning a championship? The poster may or may not have thought Mahomes or Watson would have worked out. What would have been nice is for personnel department to have recognized that.

They were not very good but I have heard way worse. Is that woman still doing games? I am totally fine with a woman broadcaster but her fake voice was just so hard to take.

Uh. Ummmm What?

I clearly remember a team going the right direction.
