Yep. That one caught my eye.

 

Would like to see Josh master the pump fake, but the few times he has done that or patted the ball I don't think it has turned out well - usually too much mustard or he has telegraphed the play to a defender playing the deep ball. Savvy veteran QBs learn over time how to fake enough to get defenders to mistime their leaps. Allen will get there, but I like that he is learning to find ways to create throwing lanes this early in his growth.

 

I felt that going to that QB sneak again was Daboll getting a bit too cute, but the first one worked fine and the holding on Morse was bogus. That being said I thought the penalty on the Giants for "touching" our long snapper that gave us a fresh set of downs was pretty ticky-tacky too. Would have preferred less flags all around, but I think the mess sort of played out evenly.

 

 

 

Ummm.  He shoulder faked John Brown wide open for a TD but unfortunately overthrew him. 

[9/15 Bills at Giants Postgame Thread]

Regardless how the season plays out this team is awesome.  Good people.  Good leader.  They are pointed in right direction.  Go bills 

[Singletary Update??]

Hope he's fine.  Kid is legit.

Gilmore and Watkins on this team right now makes us a better team.  

 

Also, it makes two AFC contenders weaker not having them 

And we don't likely have several of the players we have due to the costs of them 

[GMFB - Weekly (almost daily) Love - WC #1]

You know why there is love from gmfb to the bills?  Because they watch the games.   They watch without bias.  So they seem some good and bad from all teams.  

[Over / Under on how many weeks before AB and Cheats have a meltdown]

After first loss when he gets less targets than Edelman and a RB

[Jets going down - Angry Gase throws Darnold, Kicker, Anderson, Greggo under the bus. "I can do whatever I want"]

I cannot fathom how they thought hiring him was a good idea he was ***** as the phins coach

[Jordan Poyer - underpaid? What would you offer?]

3 year 21M sounds about right

[Did they avoid Tre?]

I saw Tre white like twice all game.  Usually a good sign...did they throw at him at all?

[First Half wasn't as awful as everyone is saying]

I've also noticed a lot of criticism towards Brian Daboll's playcalling.  I thought it was great.

 

The Jets defensive strength is run defense.  Their weakness is pass defense.

And before the game, their players were throwing jabs at Josh Allen, saying they just needed to "make him play quarterback."

 

The pass-heavy approach was the right one.  And if not for the dumb mistakes that killed our drives and kept points off the board, everybody would be praising Daboll this morning.  He can't control everything.

 

How do you think there were such huge holes in second half...the passing softened them up 

[Team maturity in full effect...]

Some little things I noticed at the game that show this team has their ***** together and are focused on the team...not themselves. 

 

1.  Allen touchdown.  Little chest bump and back to bench. 

 

2.  Brown touchdown.  Hands the ball over.  Couple high fives.  Back to bench.  No dancing no big celebration.  

 

3.  No dumb penalties.   The taunting one the refs got totally wrong. 

 

4.   Defense was constantly communicating.   On field.  On bench.  To the offense.   All day. 

 

5.  No panic.  After turnovers or in the 4th.  

 

This team is just that...a team.  They will be good this year and are a player or 2 from being a great team imo.

[The play before the 1st half 2-min warning]

Isn't there a rule about how the runner goes out of bounds?  Like going backwards the clock continues to run?

[Allen's 4th fourth quarter comeback]

Tied for most in league since beginning of last year.   

 

Now I wasn't a fan of a few throws out there but he was fairly accurate...went through progressions well...and when the game in on the line he's pretty clutch.  

 

Should be 5 if not for clay drop. 

[[Name Only Title] Sean McDermott]

He's now 1 game under 500 as a coach with scrubs for most of his tenure.  Pretty impressive

[[Name Only Title] Sean McDermott]

I don't care what anyone says.   Dude has them play hard to the end every week.  Great win.  

[Bills 17, Jets 16!! Game Balls...]

Sean McDermott.  He always has them play until end 

[Bills at the Jets 9/8 First Half Thread]

Agree with this

I’m actually very encouraged by this start, which is hilarious considering the counting stats.

 

Our offense is moving the ball, Allen has been accurate, has moved well within the pocket, and has been hitting the underneath routs to keep the ball consistently moving instead of being 100% reliant on chunk yardage.

 

Our defense hasn’t surrendered a single point off the turnovers.

 

The turnovers themselves weren’t “bad”.  They weren’t related to poor decision making. They were, by and large, the sort of “freakish” plays you’ll see over the course of a season rather than Allen making poor decisions.

 

If we play the second half the same way we played the first, and actually get some decent luck, I think we’ll win 21-13.

Agree with this.   2 bad luck ints but d gas held up.  Go bills 

[Does AB set a dangerous precedent?]

Yes.   NFL being a joke is the precedent. 

[Antonio Brown RELEASED, signed by PATS]

This was browns idea from day 1.   

[It's FOOTBALL TIME! Thurs nite GB at Chicago, 8:20 ET on NBC]

Bears football.  

Can't trust kicker.  

Don't trust QB. 

Backup sucks. 

D amazing.  

 

How long until we see Ryan Fitzpatrick or Sam Bradford in a bears uni?

[Who do you want on the Practice Squad?]

Sounds like ray ray and Duke will be back if they clear waivers.  Per article this AM

[Lesean McCoy cut!]

way to disrupt the locker room right before Week 1 for absolutely no reason other than saving a few million 

 

what a ***** joke. We already had one of the least talented offenses in the league with Mccoy now we basically have a bottom 5 offense again. 

He was the worst starting RB in the league last year.  How do we get worse. 

[Updates on Bills cuts]

Duke and ray ray gone??

[Predictions on rushing yards for the bills in 2019]

With the probable running back by committee approach we are going to have this year, I thought it might be interesting to predict who leads the team in rushing and what they rush for.  My gut tells me we will have 4 players with more than 400 yards.  

 

McCoy - 740 yards

Gore - 450 yards 

Singletary - 420 yards

Allen 400 yards 

Yeldon - 190 yards

 

4th in nfl in rushing as a team.

A little bit the slot thing I supppose, but mainly the fact that in 7 seasons in Dallas he was only in their top 2 for yards twice. He was worse than 3rd three times. Now I know their offense was built a little differently with a TE who was a key passing game target but I am an advocate of the theory that once a guy has ben in the league 5 years you should throw out his best year, throw out his worst year and what you are left with is probably what he is. And when you do that for Cole I think he is a #3. A guy who will catch some balls and move the chains for you on 3rd down but who is not normally the guy defenses are game planning to stop. I think he is a good #3 and a good addition, I am not hating on him or his signing and I hope he gets somewhere close to his career year - 75 for 833 and 5 TDs. I just think when you look properly at his production through 7 years he has produced at the #3 level rather than the #2 level.

My only argument would be what do you consider Welker or Edelman?  If they are number ones and we make Beasley a focal point where he catches 80 plus balls...then I'd argue that he is a number 1.   He left Dallas because he wasn't the first or second option and he felt he could be.
