    They pressured a ton. But a lot of those were 4 man pressures. What they were doing well was disgusing who was coming so they'd rush a DB and drop a DE for example. And the Bills were confused and unable to identify and communicate.

    I don't understand why not ALL teams are doing this. It seems to work with very little downside. No huddle offenses can counter this, but still, very little downside. Even if it works "only" 10% of the time to get a free rusher, that's an impressive improvement, at basically no cost. And you can still blitz, do any kind of scheme in the backfield and all that.

    this amazing cover2 beating offense (despite zero evidence of that) and somehow just forgot that teams can also run single high is the cherry on top of this nonsense

    In the video he mentions the Bills DID try to beat single high. They took some deep shots, and sideline ones. They just whiffed on most of them, but they tried.

     

    I know the WRs ain't scaring anyone, but it's always possible to get guys open going deep, and Josh sure has the arm strength! Kincaid could certainly be one to target as he is faster than most guys covering him.  BTW they also tried with him...and failed. Pass catchers AND josh were off that Sunday. Weird... or Josh is injured from the Ravens game. Yet t hey only lost on the last play of the  game.  

  3. I hope they are testing him today, and did so yesterday. I mean, you don't risk a JA17 career for a few games! It makes no sense. 

     

    Yes Josh is too tough for his own good, but people forget that if he was out 2-3-4 seconds, he doesn't recall any of it! For the person out, no time lapsed. It's not like he'd be lying.

     

    But we all know he's the type to hide his symptoms if he has any, and that's not good.

  4. The ONLY game he has looked "off" was yesterday. He was very inaccurate. How was he in practice during the week? He could have had an off game, that happens... or be injured from that brutal failed trick play. 

     

    IF he has any symptoms of concussions, IF, rest him. You don't risk a JA17 career for a week 5 or 6 game. You just don't.

    But we do lose them.  Denver last year.  Urban Myer 9 Bills 6, Zach Wilson..etc etc etc. Fingers crossed but nothing is a given for the Bills

    Yes. But EVERY week there are some upsets. 49ers were the odds favorites to win the SB and are 2-3 right now. Fans act like only their  teams have bad losses, bad luck, bad calls or injuries. Of course I'd hate if they lost to the Jets or KC ha ha. But R E L A X.

    It’s football. This is what I expect from football players. Do whatever it takes for the team. Josh knew the team needed him.

     

    The Bills coaching staff, training staff, doctors, and whoever the independent doctor was failed Josh Allen. He shouldn’t have been allowed back in the game

    Let's not forget that if Josh was out, HE doesn't know. Let's say he was out for 3 seconds. Not saying he was out, but say he was out for 3 seconds. Well, to him he has no recollection of these 3 seconds at all. They never happened for him. Hence why you can't rely on the player, toughness or not.

    The offense just didn't execute well as a whole - except for maybe J. Cook.

    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.

  8. 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!

    Dwayne Carter and Dorian Williams played out of their minds today! 
     

    Bishop is awful and looks like a high schooler out there. 

    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. 

  10. 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.

    When the ravens run for over 200 yards. And the two guys youre COUNTING on and paying top $ for on the DL. DQ and ED O. And they combined have 1 assisted tackle. That’s a problem. Not once. Once - either could shed a block and make a tackle! Not once !?

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

  12. 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.

    We will never see this type of player at qb again in a Bills uni.  At least in our lifetimes.   He’s special. 

    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.

    did you notice when he was celebrating with Kincaid, that he jumped higher than Kincaid did? Like, let the kid have his moment to shine - you don't have to always remind everyone that you are a better athlete Josh. We know

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

  15. 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.

  16. 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).

    Per WGR - he would get $93mm if he retired right now

    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.

    This is more about a QB who isn’t following the media program that I’m sure they’re schooling him on.  Every other QB would say: “Marvin’s a competitor, good for him for wanting the ball to help us win games.  He’s a real weapon and I’m excited to see him in this offense and I’m sure we’ll look for ways to get him more involved.”

     

     

    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 like your input, Virgil. It's always nice to  see differing views and opinions. However, overall i think you are being a bit overly pessimistic. I see this game as the 1st of the season and never really expected a juggernaut out of the gate

    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.
