Buffalo has poked around Engram for 3 years now it feels like. I could see Beane going after him for a mid rd pick. I also would not dismiss Brandin Cooks. Instant deep threat. Buffalocan platoon the Wrs like they do the Dline. Idk. I think if ever there was a year to swing big its this year right?

Go get cooks?

I think so. But he knows the vets liked Fitz more and that Watson takes his job.

Throw backs on Halloween. I like it. Official, Bills by 50.

Lets see how Williams develops at RG. Imo, they have been playing as the left side of the line the strength of the run game. Imo they might be better off running right. Brown looks to me as the teams best run blocker. Finishes his blocks and gets to the second level with ease. I like the current 5. I think Felicano is on notice and Dawkins needs to play better.

Last year Bufffalo’s flaw was they became too dependent on Allen. Im not advocating 60/40 run to pass. Those 5 to 8 Allen designed runs a game need to go to Moss or Singeltary thats it. Design run Allen in January or a most win scenario not in Oct vs a 1-6 Miami team. I would like to see Allen throw it about 30 to 35 times. Still aggressive offensively, but enough balance to open up bigger plays.

Who doesn't like watching that stuff me included. Only thing that stops Buffalo is something happening to Allen. Dont need Allen jumping over 3 defenders for 3 yards vs bottom feeder teams.

I think this game goes 2 ways. 1. Mia comes out firing by the second half they fade and Buffalo wins 38-20. 2. Buffalo gets out early and Mia folds like a tent before half. 45-10. Either way I expect Buffalo to put them away. I want to see the Bills run the ball without Allen. I want to see him under center a bit more utilize play action and hit big plays. Give Allen more protection and win games without him needing to be superman every game. This stretch should help solidify the oline.

This is the NFL not college. Dont need to worry about strength of schedule so the playoff committee votes Buffalo in. Kc and Tenn will carry Buffalo to Tampa and that will carry you the rest of the way.

Bizarro NFL. Allen and White are on the Chiefs? Is Allen better with those weapons? Either way does KC win a Superbowl first? I like the trajectory of the franchise and Allen overall. I think Allen is set up for years of continued success. Mahomes may be his foil. I think eventually Allen takes the mantel of best in the league.

Its hard to attack down field in 4 wr sets. You think its easier but you only have the back to help with blocking. The opposite side of the back will result in a free rusher. Having the Te helps from a formational stand point and protection. Yes, Sweeney is near the bottom of the roster. If he can help protect Allen il take him on the field over Davis.

Vs some of these teams coming up, I dont see a need of going 5 wide and give the D a free shot at Allen. I would be disgusted if Allen had a designed run outside of the 5. Preserve Allen get the W. Should be a win. Establish a run game.

Too early to write the eulogy of Patrick Mahomes. He is an incredible thrower. Is there too much going on to 100% fix it in season? Maybe. Chris Simms has been saying since the preseason that he isnt running or throwing the same. He believed and later confirmed that the foot injury is still an issue. Those magical plays are a bit off and he is missing open guys. He doesnt throw with the same technical ability as Rodger or Brady. He hasnt had to. Now being a little off he doesnt have his mechanics to fall back on. His style of play also needs to be examined. As does the play calling. Seems like they are relying on a big play from outside of structure or play design every series. Drop back, read the field, hit the guy. When in doubt throw it up. Teams are more expecting. Will Mahomes become more conservative overnight? No. Would I want him to? Probably, not. Run the ball way more. Take some off Mahomes plate. I feel the the foot will be an issue and I expect him to play up and down all year. Still a dangerous group if they find a grove.

Curious how Buffalo comes out. I would like a decent amount of running game. I think they will come out 4 and 5 wide. Time will tell. Buffalo is vastly superior in every phase. Is it a ho hum cover or complete blow out? Its rare to blow out a team twice. I expect Mia to be scrappy early.

The highest paid lineman on the team got blown up. He stalemates and does not win Allen still gets it. 100’% the right call. Buffalo led by a wide margin in almost every area. A few tweaks and this very likley will be Buffalos last loss for a while.

Last night it sucked. Overall, the team needs those kind of games. The offense has been about 60 to 75% thus far. They should come out of the bye on fire. Next big test in Tampa. Buffalo wasnt going undefeated. 3 losses imo takes the 1 seed and Buffalo is in position to do it.

Red zone offense. The end of game and 2 fgs is what decided it. Convert 2 of the 3 into Tds and the game isnt that close. They have things to clean up for sure. I also think the right side of the oline is slowly becoming the strong side. Dawkins has been nothing more than average so far. The defense we caught in no mans land once Henry broke off that run. Those days will happen.

Buffalo 56-16.

Buffalo has the advantage everywhere. Does Buffalo show up? There is no evidence to point to that happening. Under Mcdermott they havent played down to competition. Last year, what Tennessee did to them with scheduling and on the field they will have the teams 100% focus. That team is better than Tennessee.

He was too inconsistent a passer. Back to his college days. The Qb before him and after him had more success at FSU. He was super athletic but not a natural thrower. He was similar to Bortles in that way.

I think overall Tyrod and Fitz take you to similar places. Imo Tyrod gets you a +1 to .5 more games. You beat everyone your suppose to. No one you shouldnt. Fitz you will win a game you shouldnt but also lose a game or so you should. Fitz will be more fun but at the end of the day you are at a net loss. Completely splitting hairs.

Paper? No. Older yes? I saw a few weeks ago Gronk is only like 6 or 8 months older than Kelce. Gronk seems like he has played for 20 years at this point. Outside of Mahomes, Hill and Kelce how is the player development going? That was augmented by Matthew and Ford but they are older and missing time now. Their style of play has been unsustainable. For as dynamic a team they are the worst team vs the spread over the last 3 years. The pff “turnover worthy play”. That has disappeared for the most part from them because Mahomes lead the league by a mile last year. Now the ball is bouncing the other way. I believe Buffalo and Kc are going in 2 separate directions. Right now, this Kc team can still beat anyone. They will be a problem in the playoffs. The team as a whole is going to have some big changes to continue the same level of success moving forward this offseason. One thing Bill and the Patriots did would change the teams make up to stay ahead. Most teams try to hold onto what they had.

Tyrod was limited but he did end the streak. I think overall he was the most consistent Qb Buffalo had since Kelly. I think over time he deserves alot of credit for creating a culture for Allen to succeed in. Beyond that I think Bledsoe had a good stretch. I believe a case can be made, they should have kept Fitz for the length of his extension. Complete revisionist history but he was the better active player for much of that time before Tyrod. Going down memory lane here it makes me just thank the football Gods for Allen. My, were these players night and day different from Kelly and now Allen.

They will play Nickel and rush 4 and 5. Backs and Tes may make some plays in the pass game. Get to Tannehill and dont give up the deep pass to Julio or AJ. Box will be pretty loaded as is. Makes bringing pressure from different places easier.
