Everyone going to complain about that shotgun 3rd down run?

We went from not punting to probably punting more than anyone in the league in the last few weeks. We can't even cross midfield on any sort of regular basis.
As an interesting point of context, the Bills are in the top 10 in the league for fewest punts attempted over the last 3 weeks.

Turning they are "not playing as well as they were before" into "worst in the league" is absurdly over dramatic.

i do.
i don't think we are disagreeing at all fwiw
i think we are seeing things from a different perspective with little variance in the conclusion.
yes, i watched the super bowl. the defense finally caught up this year. i think we are back in a spell where good defenses will matter more than the last few seasons. new defensive concepts are out there and just being grasped. we will see if mcdermott can grasp it.
Seeing as McDermott pioneered some of the defensive concepts that other teams are trying out I'd give him a better than average chance at grasping it.

Not much different than the first half, it's just working better.

Not sure what game everyone in here is watching. I see a typical football game that has only had 5 minutes of scripted play calling. The red team looked to have early momentum, then had the ball knocked out. The white team has mostly negative plays outside of 1 deep hookup. If I had to project how the next 50 minutes were going to go, I'd say it will appear to be closer than play shows for 1.5 quarters and then then the Bills will pull away for 2.5 quarters.

With that turnover the Bills will win and somehow be ahead on yardage this game

Not enough people giving Dorsey some of the credit for this. It's not like the front 5 turned All Pro overnight. We are primarily calling plays that either get the ball out quick or have extra protection. Many of the clean pockets were with 6 or 5 and a chip in protection. I'm sure it's impacting play calling to some degree, but it's really helping Allen find a groove.

You found a guy that writes news articles with an opinion. Kincaid was not open on that play while coverage was active. He only opens up after Allen starts his throwing motion and zones are vacated. It would have been a contested catch. Diggs is the completion over the middle that would probably have been caught and 50/50 he has enough for the first when the LB crashes on him.
Given the situation I could buy the argument to throw to Diggs and hope he bodies for the first, but Allen's decision against that defense was not the primary culprit of a bad result on that play.

No. Josh made a terrible decision, and no amount of better route running by Gabe was going to change the fact that Diggs was completely unguarded right in front of Josh’s face. Brady could demand excellence from his receivers because Brady made the right read 99% of the time. That’s not Josh.
Except everyone who knows what they are talking about agree that the design and read on that play against cover 2 is the CB. The throw to Diggs against that coverage is an easy completion for 0 yards. Josh read the defense and CB correctly and put the throw where it needed to be. The throw was on time with anticipation, but he probably didn't drive it the way he wanted to due to needing to clear the CB that was crowded by wrong route depth. The safety began driving on the ball simultaneously with the throw bc Gabe telegraphed the route. To throw on time the quarterback has to make the decision based on safety positioning early in the route and trust the receiver to do his job.
The only other view on this play is that the CB read wasn't clear enough and Allen should have taken the under or given up on the play. But with route depth not creating separation that probably would have ended poorly as well. On this play, Josh did almost exactly what we'd all hope for. He had a bunch of good plays and a few terrible ones, but this one was not bad.

What about keeping the current system, but adding a rule that the top cap hit can only be 10x (or 20x or whatever the right number is) the median cap hit? Or just adding a hard limit that a single player may only account for 20% of the cap before hitting penalties.

Huge call defense got bailed out there.
It has nothing to do with Milano working to knock the ball loose? It was just dumb luck?

Going to go on record that I still feel good about this game. We're the better team. We have been a good 2nd half team (and final 2 minutes) and Bengals are a 1st quarter team. Nothing out of character yet.
Bills still win by more than a field goal

They're going to image him and go from there. Chance he's back for a 2 minute drive or after half.

NFL pulled some bull#### allowing the Rat to stay in without taking a play off:
ARTICLE 3. INJURY TIMEOUTS PRIOR TO TWO-MINUTE WARNING OF EITHER HALF. When an injury timeout is called,
the injured player must leave the game for the completion of one down. The player will be permitted to remain in the game if:
(a) either team calls a charged team timeout;
(b) the injury is the result of a foul by an opponent; or
(c) the period ends or the two-minute warning occurs before the next snap.Per rules you posted, chiefs called a timeout and he could go back in.

Why is that added to the end of the run?
The hold occurred during the run, after Mahomes had crossed the line of scrimmage. Defender ran into Kelce and took him out of the play with a near tackle.

People are way overthinking this. We are a gameplan team (hence that some think we lack an identity). We change our offense based on opponent historic tendencies and how they are playing us in the game. Miami crowded the box, blitzed heavily, and left no coverage deep on more plays than any other defense this year. The mantra "take what they give you" doesn't mean every throw is a checkdown, it means throw it (or run it) where they are not. In this game the opponent was giving us anything 20+ yards downfield on most plays. They weren't going to give Allen a chance with his legs, and they were clogging most hot routes and throwing lanes to the point of checkdowns being drive killers. We "took what they gave us". Our execution was decent, and if we were cleaner it could have been a game for the record books.
Don't read into it too much, we will look different against CIN, KC, and SF.

Josh has been playing more than good enough to win. Receivers not helping him out

"small white foreign object"... What is the theory on this? Is it like a slip pad or something that the nose of the ball hopefully lands on to kick further? Is it a friction pad to help get the ball center stabilized easier for better aim? I don't see see anything the equivalent of a tee being possible to land on in real time. The info on what was being used is lacking...

Ok, then why did cincy fall one spot?
The author states his reasoning fairly briefly, but clear. After seeing the eagles without Hurts he drops them 2 spots. Bills and Chiefs remain unchanged relative to each other. The author appeared to be uncertain on Purdy, but his most recent performance gave him the confidence to move the niners ahead of the Bengals and Eagles. While you may or may not agree with his ranking, the delta from prior week doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hamlin.

We play like we did yesterday against the Chiefs, the Bengals or, if we get that far, the 49ers, Eagles or Cowboys and we get beaten. And there are weaknesses which we are relucant to or cannot address. If this was a one off, fine, but a lot of the issues shown yesterday have been persistent across the season.
An excellent win and a strong record this season is all well and good but improvement is required if we want to make and win the Super Bowl. I think that's all most are saying.
You made the same comment a week ago about the dolphins... And here we are...

We don't have a better option, but Hamlin has been a problem. Don't let the big hits fool you.
-
With Hamlin as single high, was that Edmunds to drag with or should poyer have picked up? Edmunds clearly expected poyer to take it.

That's the kind of stat that is a mirage. Because usually, teams are behind in our games and have to pass.
I'm not talking about total yards. YPC, 1st down%, negative play %, it doesn't matter. We're top 10 by most metrics. The disaster you think is there is the mirage.

I was yelling for the timeout at 30 seconds, but with Tampa showing they were going for it on 4th you don't really want to stop the clock for them. End result was disappointing, but understandable.
