Success

I've been watching the Bills since the '80s. I think this 1:45 wouldn't make my top 100 stressful moments.

Really exhilarating win today. Allen looked fantastic. If not for the Coleman drop/INT, it likely wouldn't have been a nailbiter - but it's nice to see us win a nailbiter, and that was great experience for Bass to have. Blowouts are fun too, but you need to win some games like this & it's valuable for the playoffs to have a few of these in the regular.

We're winning games - generally because of JA, as per usual. I think it's okay to have a little concern about the defense after how they looked today at home.

For starters, I am NOT a defensive mind, at all. But from my viewpoint, it seems like we never press - our CB's and safeties generally drop back and give a ton of cushion, trying to prevent the "big play," but often giving up chunks of yards in the process and long, time-consuming drives. I guess that's often called "bend, don't break." Which can work. But today was rough. Are we lacking personnel? I feel like we have good LB's and a decent enough line, and I like our CB's. Safety is a weak point, but overall, it seems like we're not playing up to our talent level or potential. This is about as bad a defense as I've seen since Allen got here.

If everyone on D played with his mindset, we'd get 4-5 turnovers a game.

For the record - Elam did not get "burned" on the long Hill completion. He played it pretty well - it was just a great throw and catch.

I'm so happy for Tyler Bass. It has been a rough time for him - and that might just be a kick that can make him feel all kinds of confidence going forward.

Feeling a Von sack here.

Probably gonna have to be a turnover w/ them in 4 down territory.

All we need is a hold from the defense. Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

We're not worthy of Josh Allen. And that's okay.

Most teams do not have defensive HC's anymore. If you have one, he's gotta be incredible at DEFENSE. This defense has talent. The philosophy is weak.

It was bad tackling/angles - but also, you can see how their OC sets up the blocking SO much better than what we have. There is real design to those plays.

We often challenge when we shouldn't - then fail to challenge when we should.

Still - Elam is a great ball hawk.

Glad Beane is seeing all this before the trade deadline. We need an impact player on D.

We haven't given up many points - but this D leaves a lot to be desired right now.

Ray Davis is a joy to watch.

Honestly, Elam didn't play that too badly.

Too bad w/ Bass - felt like he was getting his confidence back w/ the long kick.

I'll tell ya - that play call on 4th was NOT GOOD. It can't be drop back and scan the field for the open guy.

Great to get the fumble - but the D doesn't look like it made any adjustments. The DB's all sprint backwards on just about every play. It always seems like we're so afraid.

Gotta win now. I don't want to be thinking about that phantom call - truly phantom - the whole week. I'm really having a hard time letting that go. It was the 2nd holding call in a row. That's gotta be egregious to throw a flag - and instead, it didn't even exist.

Honestly, at least it was good to see Bass make a long one. His confidence seems to be coming back.

I just don't get that - 2 holding calls in a row had better be CLEAR. You are taking a team 20 yards back. I didn't even see anything on the 2nd call.
