One of those games. Buffalo 34 Tampa 31

Seems like age and scheme fit. Not a 3 tech. Not really an edge. Seems like a poor mans Hoecht. Dont hate it if they want to keep that going. I think Sanders in the Oliver role on passing downs will be primary focus.

Dont cut off your nose in spite of your face. One injury and Coleman will be back in the same role. Shrink his utilization. Let him concentrate on a handful of packages and concepts. I would give him the Kincaid routes and usage while he is out immediately.

Epenesa, Sanders and Palmer having full practice designation is great to see and needed. Healthy Palmer will be more impactful than Gabe or Hardman. Like to see Shakir utilized more like ST Brown or Nacua. More deep crossers, more down the field routes on early downs.

NE was mainly turnovers. They moved the ball very well. Atl and Miami felt different. They wanted to attack outside out of spread looks. By doing so they nurfed their run game and became one dimensional. I dont understand how you come out of KC and decided not to keep that going.

Who is fighting it is my question. Is it Josh not liking to pass from under center? If so gotta get used to it right now. His numbers and metrics are very good when he does.

The Bills didnt attack using their run game at all. The pass splits out of shotgun are incredibly low. Why be one dimensional by formation on first and second down? Pass from under center. Regular drop back. It doesn't have to be play-action because by formation the defense is preparing for a run. The run game or threat of it is real. Out of shotgun it goes away.

Bi polar? I see it more as a systemic conflict of schematic philosophy. It’s the opposite of how they operated under Daboll. Mcdermott wanted a balanced attack. He implored Daboll to run the ball at every post game press conference. Now Brady is running the ball at a percentage that is highest in the league. Mcdermott now implores Brady to pass more and get that going. Both offense by every metric is successful. This season the Bills offense is worst when they have an obvious pass gameplan. Feels like Mcdermott strive for balance at times forces the play calling away the offenses strength. I think an honest question can be made if the Bills are burning a prime season. Obviously, if he gets hot in the Playoffs and they win it all who cares. Im under the train of thought that an elite run game paired with Allen is the key for success in the playoffs. My concern is does Josh feel that way. He is chasing explosive passes out of shotgun. The offense is best right now under center. The spread game-plan to attack the outside coverage of Miami didnt work. I think they tried to attack them the wrong way. Stick with run looks and packages and attack out of those. My confusion is the repeated moving away from the run game Atl and Miami. Both games felt like they wanted to prove they are something they are not. Is it Allen, Brady or Mcdermott or a combination of all three.

After running a play action fake during the timeout being called. Finesse game play with finesse effort. They are a running team. Why not do what you did vs KC and Carolina? I put alot of the blame on the coaches and Qb. Seemed like Allen wanted a 300 yard game and he got it eventually.

Bad loss. Poor effort, poor game plan. Brady got cute with the gameplan. Run the ball, play action big bodies. Coming out in shotgun the wrong play. Vs inferior opponents lean into what you are good at. Counter off of how they adjust to you.

Buffalo had the highest offer. No reason to outbid yourself. As reported earlier both Jets and Miami were ultimately unwilling to trade with Buffalo. I think thats a fair account of what happened. Beane came off angry and frustrated. Sounds like they were very close to a deal for Waddle and Miami backed out in the 11th hour. While finalizing a deal for Waddle they missed out on Shaheed and Meyers.

Had Star and that was it for a while. Jordan Phillips and Daquan Jones are big bodies. Not having Oliver hurts but also makes it harder to scheme runs against. Off the bus the Bills Oline and Dline are something right now. Slowly becoming ass kickers on both sides.

Hold em out no? If they are not 100% snap count limit or make inactive? Yes.

Hoecht was here for 2 games and Oliver is hurt every year. KC scored once in the second half. Needed a 4-17 to accomplish that. Without both guys. I think the defense will be ok. Does it suck? Yes.

No. Ironically, its helps Buffalo either way. Colts, Denver and LAC all get their measuring stick/gotta have it game in November or December vs KC. Colts and Broncos are bit of paper tigers. I dont trust either Qb. LAC cant field an Oline and defense is leaky. I think KC goes 3-1 vs Denver Twice, Indy, and LA. Indy goes 10-7, Losses to KC, Houston, SF, Seattle, and Jacksconvile. That gives them splits with Hou and Jacksonville down the stretch and win vs Atl over seas. AFC west beats up each other. Bills clear NE and win the 1 seed.
