  1. I'm going to pile back in here on this.  He's literally the perfect rental player.   

     

    1.  We have the cash. 

    2.  He's a free agent next year so we can let him walk if we dont want to pay the big bucks.  

    3.  Compensation pick?  

    4.  Next year is a great wide receiver draft.  

     

    Why not take a chance and make a run.  This is a playoff team with a superbowl caliber defense.  Would AJ Green make us better to make a run.  Answer.  Yes.

  2. Tough loss yes...but it is completely weird to me that we are down 13-0 to the patriots in a terrible start to the game and I was actually thinking we would come back to win.  Normally that game goes sideways and we get blown out.  

     

    This team is different.   This D will keep us in every game and the offense can score points when needed (usually).

     

    Anyone else feel this yesterday.  No stress...almost knowing we would make a game of it.

    Talk about an emotional day.  You could see it on the field, on TSW, on social media.  This game felt like a mini-series with plot twists, theme changes, and was just an overall rollercoaster. 
     

    To be clear, there is absolutely no way I can cover everything that happened in this game and I’m just going to cover the big things that stood out to me.  
     

    1 - Allen - Allen played against a great defense today who has shut down opposing teams so far.  With that, Allen had a really bad game.  This is a game of defense, field position, and points were at a premium.  I don’t care what the completion percentage was or total yardage in this game.  I care about not hurting the team and taking care of the football.   Allen turned the ball over 4 times and was wildly inaccurate to me on deep throws, which he also took too often.   He under threw Zay that could’ve been a touchdown.  He also was off on the shorter passes outside of the scoring drive.   
     

    Worst of all, I don’t know what it’s going to take to get him to stop throwing off his back foot into traffic.  Of all teams, not against the Pats man.  Granted, one of them should have been overturned, but he still overall hurt the team more than he helped.  
     

    Again, I don’t care if he had more 3 and outs and they punted.  It’s the short field position that gave them a TD and field goal.  You just can’t make these mistakes and it seems to be getting worse.  Also, add in the sack that knocked us back 5 yards with the ensuing missed FG, and it’s another play that hurts us. 
     

    2 - Gore - Great game by him today, eclipsing the 100 and breaking 15k yards for his career.  He definitely showed up today, showing great field vision and power.  I would have liked to have seen him utilized more. 
     

    3 - Lee Smith - I know you can’t write a guy off based off one game, but 4 penalties in a defensive battle just isn’t okay. Between that and some dropped passes this season, I really hope to see Knox take more of his snaps.  Speaking of Knox, he came up big twice and I look forward to seeing more from him.  
     

    4 - “I know if I am going to have any life anymore it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch because that is what living is. The six inches in front of your face.”

     

    5 - Overall defense - Another game where the stat box doesn’t tell the whole story.  If I told you we didn’t get a sack on Brady, you might think we got picked apart.  Quite the opposite.  Outside of the deep pass down the sideline to White, where we inexplicably only rushed 3, our defense was amazing.  I mean, absolutely amazing.  These guys never let up and Brady looked pedestrian.  The INT by Hyde was a beautiful play and they made this a game for us. It’s frustrating that we couldn’t reward them with a win, but you have to be inspired by how they played.  
     

    6 - The Hit - I’m sorry, but personal fouls need to trump other penalties.  There’s just no way that hit shouldn’t be counteracted by a holding call.   On the stat sheet, the play never happened and it took out Allen.  In real speed, it’s hard to know true targeting. However, Allen was already wrapped up and he still took the shot.  Just add it to the list of reasons to hate those guys

     

    7 - Daboll - This is hard for me because I’m not an Xs and Os guy.  It seems like the Pats ran the same defense they ran all season and what they did against us last year.  With that, it seems like we were completely unprepared for them today.  It’s not just getting shut down, it’s the way we were shut down.  We looked confused.  Also, where was McKenzie in this game and all the stretch/sweeps we’ve been running?  Then, we score via hurry up and then abandon it on the next drive.   The trick play was nice, and I don’t blame Yeldon there as it wasn’t an easy catch.  Overall, Daboll needs to be better in this game 

     

    8 - Special Teams - Haven’t talked about these guys in a while.  That blocked punt for an INT proved to be the ball game.  That TD was the difference maker in points and probably changes future decisions.  The gunner came in free, which can’t happen.  Hausch’s miss also changed future decisions, even though it should’ve been 5 yards closer.  
     

    Again, in a defensive battle like this, you need consistency, not a loss of 10 points. 

     

    9 -  What If - There are so many things to talk about here.  Should they have taken the points on the short field goals vs going for it?  I say yes, besides the Allen TD. Allen on the field makes one yard seem like a given.  With Barkley, it’s different.  You never know what’s going to happen next based upon a decision, but in a defensive battle, I think you alway take the points.  We left 6 on the board that was the final difference maker, but then Allen did score.  Who knows. 
     

    10 - McD - We lost 16-10 to a great team at home and could have won it on our last drive.  That’s the end result and that’s what you grade off of.  The challenges by McD hurt as we didn’t have any timeouts at the end.  Challenging offensive PI was tough for me and I think he needs to take his chances on more than 50/50 calls.  I get perspective, but neither were clear calls. 
     

    While we didn’t win, you have to love how crap we make Brady look in these games.  I know there’s no morale victories and this sucks.  But these aren’t the same losses as the past decade.  If we have a turnover free offense, we win this game to me. 
     

    Bonus:

    -What happened to Ty on the last offensive play?   He left the edge unguarded 

    -Let’s see how the league handles the hit on Allen

    -How was that not intentional grounding by Brady?

     

     

    Big day guys.  We beat the spread.  We gave up 3 points in the last 3 quarters. We didn’t blow up like in the past after a terrible first quarter.  Allen may be out next week and his continued poor choices have to make you hesitate.  But still 3-1 in a wide open season. 
     

    Go Bills!

    Never mind intentional grounding how about the non facemask call on allen.  Wtf?

    If I could pick anyone in the NFL to meet other than Bills, it would be Bill. I’m just fascinated by this guy. I know most people hate his press conferences, I love them. I think he’s so unentertaining and monotone that he is entertaining. 

    Exactly.  And if you listen you get good nuggets but its mixed in with the same answers over and over so you miss it most times.

  5. I hate the Patriots with a passion.  Having said that I love belichick's pressers.  This one in particular is more complimentary than he normally is (towards us) and he is more talkative than normal.  

     

    What I take away from this is despite his aloof nature this man is a genius.  Watch this and you get am understanding of how much he knows about the bills.   It's actually quite crazy.  Knows all the names, all the specifics  about the defense.  Dude doesn't miss anything which is why he is such a good coach.  Attention to detail.  

     

    On the Bills side...he respects McDermott  you can tell and he's most concerned about the secondary.   In general it's not the same old, "oh ya he's a good player next" ...he isn't glossing over this roster.

  6. I read one today saying allen going up against Billy mcCheater is like challenging adele to a karaoke contest.  While I think that is a funny comparison I disagree.  

     

    Yes bill will make josh uncomfortable and try and make him do the things he's not comfortable doing but let's be honest.   How do you gameplan for Josh?  I'm sure Bill is also worried about a guy that rarely sticks to the script and even when you have him you dont. (Ask Atkins)

     

    While the media is very one sided I dont feel it's a lock that the Pat's will figure allen out or have a ton of success against our D.  

     

    Bill's 27 Pat's 21.  

     

    Go Bills.

    You do realize that Gilmore’s weakness is defending the long ball.  Also a tad bit of information for you, Josh Allen is completing 76% of his throws to Smoke and Beasley.  None of the other corners have found a way to stop them yet.

     

    Also one weapon you’re forgetting about...Dawson friggen Knox!!

     

    Go Bills beat the Cheats! 

    I hear you but you also do realize that the Pat's take away our strength on offense every single game right 

  8. Bring 1 extra man most plays.  He eats you up when you bring 6 or more.  5 guys coming and mixing it up is the way to beat him.  Everyone says you need pressure with front 4 but giants brought 5 almost the entire last superbowl they won against Pat's. They just changed who they were.  Corner here safety here LBer there.
