For 2 decades we were chasing the Pats. At the end of the day who is the better Qb. Its Allen. Ne has a formula. Run the ball and get the lead. Play aggressive defense and make the opposing team 1 dimensional. Force a team to pass and beat them. What happens when they are down 2 scores? I don't believe they can win other ways. Allen is the trump card. He shredded their secondary last year. It happens again what do they do?

Not solid call. It hit the ground, last view was obvious. I felt the refs were in ride home mode by then. They didnt overturn the NYJ sideline catch on 4th down so to me it was a make up call.

He is putting up similar to better numbers than last year. He was second in the MVP. The odds makers have it tied to conference standings. If Buffalo is the first or second seed Allen would have played very well. Allen would be a favorite.

Browns and Saints win tomorrow imo. Titans are due for a let down and the Saints D is legit. Cleveland out Ne NE. Cleveland has better personal.

This is why Buffalo is still a superbowl favorite and why Allen is still an MVP favorite.

The Titans look like the best team in the AFC. Who did they lose to? The Jets. Teams have bad games. Buffalo had probably their worst loss under Mcdermott. They will be focused and on offense more balanced. Buffalo wins. 34-10. Mike White’s cinderella story gets to midnight pretty quick tomorrow.

I would like to see more Davis. Early downs and redzone. I would like to see Mckenzie added into the game plan. Sanders, Beasley and Diggs are our best 3 but the the formations are becoming predictable.

No different than Rex vs NE. Mix cover 4 with cover 0. Everyone doesn't run cover 4. Most teams cant play cover 0. The offense and Allen has shown the ability to beat both. Imo just watching it live sometime Daboll stays with his game plan too much. Looks for the big play instead of letting the offense gain consistency and confidence.

Simple fixes. Daboll spamming passes caught some teams off guard last year. This year teams expect it.

If Moss is out he obviously is the next man up. What impact? Minimal. Maybe he make a big play on a check down but thats not who he is really. Maybe dressing Brieda they feel more comfortable using Mckenzie in the offense more. Brieda can handle kick return and Hyde do Punt return.

Bring his attempts down. Run the ball 15 to 20 time a game with someone other than Allen. Bring some balance. Get Allen under center more. Use more jet motion. Easy fixes.

Everyone with eyes sees guard an issue that doesnt mean you cant fix other issues.

Still an easy schedule. Buffalo needs to figure it out. Got half way to go yet still. Rather have these issues before thanksgiving than after.

What kick ass guard is available?

I would give Davis more snaps. Different type of wr. A little bigger. Same 11 in 4 formations isnt working imo.

I expect Breida is active if Moss cant go. More 2 Te or Gilliam as an H back. Get bigger people on smaller people in the run game. Bring Allens attempts down to under 40. They have run well when they wanted to. Last few weeks they abandon it very quickly. More second down runs out of passing sets. Pass more out of running sets.

Peak Qb play is a narcotic to OCs imo. They come up with all these check with me and routes. Basically, Allen here is a play do A vs B, C vs D, E vs G etc…. All good but 10 other guys gotta be on the same field and be on the same page. All the creativity to get an easy 10 yards are gone. Rodgers did this with Green bay for years with McCarthy. Bland play calls but more often than not he makes it work. Daboll is falling down that hole. Allen can do anything and make the should be bad plays good.

Daboll has had freedom to do whatever on offense. Last year Mcdermott took over play calling for a game. Im curious how involved Mcdermott will be on offense this week. I felt like after week 1 Mcdermott forced some change on offense.

Mcdermott isnt going to publicly out anyone. I bet Daboll and the offensive staff had a rough morning. Gotta find a run game. Help out the tackles with formations. Play the game your in.

Run the ball win ugly. Looked like a less inspired week 1 performance offensively. Imo Daboll is trying too hard to get a HC job and not do whats best week to week. 2 back up lineman, 1 moved inside due to play starting at Rt. Play more conservative and let the d carry the offense and score enough to escape with a win.

The offense has become stale and predictable. 1 or 2 plays they will put Mckenzie in motion. Besides that, similar formations similar plays. When was the last time a guy was designed open for a big play? Diggs vs Kc? I would play around with different personal. I would give Diggs some work in the slot. Put Gabe Davis outside a bit more. The 21 personal of Diggs, Beasley, Sanders is being used too much imo. Mix it up more like the Dline. I would like Mckenzie to get a bit more plays aswell. His speed is something different. If Beasley is out maybe give stevenson a look too.

Daboll needs to be smart enough to put his offense in the best situation to succeed. Got back up olineman at each guard. Run the ball. Put Allen under center and get to interior running plays. The outside zone and inside zone will be harder without alot of reps along the line. Power runs with guards pulling. This will also force the defense the drop down the saftey. Making bigger windows in the passing game. At the end of the day I place the loss on Daboll. Asking Allen to pull rabbits out of his hat every week has caught up to the team. There is no creativity with the offense.

I dont buy it. Cleveland like they should is standing behind Mayfield. On the field. Win and produce. I think he does both here. If Cleveland was 5-2 I believe he is still in Cleveland. Allen would be the best qb he has ever played with. Heck first few weeks put him in Mckenzies role on offense. Jet sweeps and such. Keep him off the other contenders. Maybe someone else claims him.

Once a year they put forth an effort. By middle 3rd quarter that effort evaporated. Similar to the Dolphins game.

No team blows out a team twice. I think Buffalos offense woes are over blown. Every team has those type of games. Teams that lose them press and force throws. They are become a more complete offense. They have now faced pretty much every style of defense and figured out a way. I expect Buffalo score alot and win alot.
