The run blocking has been pretty good! So, Brady should leverage this more. When you add some screens and PLAY ACTION, and Josh has always been good with play action, it takes that run game to an even higher level. For some reason, the pass blocking has been bad these last 2 games. Use the run to help the pass even more. You play to your strengths. Josh was off from the get go. How did practice go for him all week? He could have had an off game, that happens... or he could be injured. That hit he took in the failed trick play was brutal. And of course now he has that nasty hit yesterday as well. Rest him up till Friday.

Trubinsky is a good runner. So naked bootleg is an option for sure with him. Use misdirection with WR in motion and let him either hand off to the guy in motion, up the gut to the RB or keep it and run the other way. He has way enough real game experience to read defenses and make THAT kind of play!

Bishop was awful in the first half but decent in the 2nd. Just like when the ball hit Coleman in the head, rookies = growing pains. Carter, Williams and Bernard played great for sure. Only 9 receptions, Josh himself was soooo inaccurate, yet they lost on the very last play of the game. It IS a silver lining.

Speaking of "fine", the run blocking still is going strong, and 42 & 43 were on fire for the defense. I was POed all game long... but they lost on a 59 yard field goal as time ran out. With Josh having one of his most inaccurate games ever. It's not THAT bad. It's just the passing game that is very worrisome.

Hey, I sure thought he hit his head and had a concussion. But he not only cleared the protocol, he looked normal afterwards, playing or interviews.

Let's be fair. NO Bills wideouts or tight ends have stats to rave about. It was REALLY impressive how the Bills could win 3 games, including 2 blowout wins, without any great pass stats. Any pass catcher having a great game would be something! And for some reason, TEs overall in the NFL have had very little catches so far.

It seems most runs were on the outside. Anyway, so many players underperformed, that singling out a player feels wrong to me ha ha.

This play was crazy. Really amazing stuff. That dude is insane, in the best possible way. A great adjustment they did in the 2nd half is using max protect a lot. Strangely, the added blockers were often not needed and started a short route. It might be something to use more. Josh deserved that for all "the running for his life" he had to do! After two games where he was barely touched. Such difference between games is kind of mind boggling.

IDK why the need to single out Oliver. Who performed well on the DLine last night?

I realize that even as an outsider (I'm not even in the US!) that has been a Bills fan for decades and suffered through the drought, Josh makes the game so much fun the void after he is gone will hit hard. Let's enjoy it now, for sure. Superbowl, baby. We need this while he's here! BTW, kudos to Josh's dad. He did mock interviews with him and all to prepare him. Think of all the time JA17 has been on the mic and never messed up! Quite impressive. As even if he does say tons of cliches and harmless answers, he adds color often, pays attention to questions, add inside jokes and all. The guy is great all around.

I sure saw that. Dude is an athlete. As for Kincaid, in his 2 catches his SPEED was surprising. He easily outran the defender.

The last game in particular, I don't recall such a domination by a Bills OLine. Yet in the past, both the DLines and the OLines have had dominant games in stretches followed by bad ones. I never could get it. I wasn't a clear cut thing like opposition, schemes or injuries. Anyway, regardless, this is great! Josh had to play Hero Ball on game 1 but besides that, the safeties, LBs, WRs, TEs have had little to do so far yet both are wins. Both lines and the corners are dominating, and of course JA17 is there.

So far the WRs and TEs have numbers that would scare the s**t out of us otherwise yet it doesn't matter because: 2-0. Opposing DCs can't see any patterns so far! The OLine has been dominant last game. Wow. Main reason for the W IMO. DLine works great too. Miller back, Rousseau took over in the 1st game, Oliver in the 2nd. Solid corner play. Safety and LB weaknesses not an issue at all so far. WRs we will know if we need to worry only later, we just can't tell yet! Props to McD. Nobody is doing long pass plays against the Bills since 2017. Look at how explosive the Dolphins and Cards offenses can be. Yet they were shut down (2nd half of Cards game, MH jr / Fins all night).

Such an easy decision then, just retire!! I would say that even if I weren't a Bills fan. Yes. BUT, he does NOT have to decide now, at all. He can heal...or not... and decide much later on. Almost all his concussions but one it seems he just doesn't know how to fall/protect himself. The brutal one that he was whipped was the most damaging and one that's not on him. But when Milano barely pushed him backwards or what Hamlin did yesterday should NOT result in a concussion! So if he plays again, he's pretty sure to have another one just by his lack of "self-protection" skills.

Josh sure follows that 'media program'. And guess what, it doesn't add unnecessary tension in the team, controversy and whatnot. Fundamentals are not just in blocking and tackling...

I usually really love your take and all too, but I can't stand points #3 and #8. Stop this "Billsy" and doom nonsense. Watch Youtube video of crushing losses, of snatching defeats from the jaws of victory. Many many teams have suffered this, but of course we emotionally connect only with our team's losses. And the other teams come to win too! Oliver and Kincaid were indeed invisible, but one game is never any indication. Strangely, most big name TEs have had uneventful games. Kelce, Andrews, Laporta, etc. I too have been mostly disappointed in the Von Miller effort overall. We'll see. Not like Epenesa killed it either. Hopefully Torrence has the bad game out of his system.

Yes I recall that one. Brutal pic. Perfect timing ha ha

Seems to me all of the players were off and on all day. Week 1 stuff. Zero of the day, or hero ha ha, was the AZ OC. A few very suspect calls in critical situations. Thanks!

His 80 yard TD makes it not very likely... Not by the Dolphins anyway.

OK. Whatever you think of Hill or the incident, THIS is funny

I thought he had got a huge deal last year or two years ago max. Very good QB, not elite. Their mistake.

And 200 mph

We are all curious for sure. The WR group is THE biggest question, with the D being the 2nd. But, this is ONE game. Recall how JA didn't play so good against the Jets last year on game 1? Or the team in the opener vs the Steelers? Or how Kelce and Mark Andrews were near invisible Thursday? So yeah. I'm as anxious as any new of you, but RELAX. It's ONE game. Win or lose, this is not the season.

Many OL take a few years to become top tier. But it seems that most pass rushers are great or not from the get go. Maybe not stat wise, but the obvious impact they have. I sure hope he becomes a top edge guy, but does it ever happen that a DE becomes top tier in year 4-5+ when he wasn't before? Oh he's good. Quite good. But not elite.

I really am glad he is finally having a NFL career! It should have been with the Bills and from day 1. But this. His punt was too long. But when it's from that far away, a touchback is not bad IMO. If he does that with shorter punts though then it's an issue.
