    All good points.   

     

    As I said, the Ravens are really good.   

     

    But when they put 8 men on the line of scrimmage, a good team with a good QB and good receivers should make them pay.  Bills didn't. 

    Not enough they didn’t. As you said the offense isn’t there yet! Still,  the team is getting better as the season wears on. Probably top 5 or 6 in the league where I felt after the loss to New England that they were 10 to 12.

    Time will tell, I suppose, but the eye test is pretty clear to me.

    You guys may have something here but I think we are giving more to than it really is. He plays a little tighter especially early in home games but this year our toughest opponents have been at home too. I think it’s something he will adjust to as he matures.

  3. From what I saw both defenses had their way and the game came down to a few crucial plays. The long td by the Ravens TE. Couple of deep throws that Josh needs to make! It’s not all on Josh though. No NFL Qb plays well under that kind of consistent pressure! Really was a close game, and showed me that this team is close to being able to play and beat the best! They will get better!

    • Nice post! During it all I couldn’t help feeling that this win against non other than Jerry’s Cowboys was really a redemption for all of the embarrassment this franchise has suffered from the nfc east and the powers to be!! The flashy franchises that resent small market teams such as the Bills!! They may be America’s Team but we gave them a good ol Texas whoopin!!! In front of their faithful fans on Thanksgiving day no less!! Thank you Terry and Kim!!

  4. That 4th down play by Allen was amazing! After it’s had time to sink in it really is something I won’t forget, like his hurdling Barr last season for a 1st! He is now in my mind the franchise Qb not really because of those spectacular moments but because of everything else that he did against the Cowboys. Those plays may seem routine or unspectacular but that’s what makes me see that he is our guy!!

    I was just rereading your first paragraph, and the point about riding bike is excellent.  You have a different kind of confidence once you're up on a bike. 

     

    It's the difference between true confidence, self-assurance, and just swagger.   Swagger is a pose, a behavior that someone adopts to tell the world he's good (whether he's good or not).   Someone with confidence might have swagger, too, but someone with confidence no longer has internal doubts about what he can do.  

     

    And you can be sure that McDermott isn't missing the teaching moment.   He knows this was an important step, a hurdle that they had to get over.  Now he's teaching them how to land and keep running to the next hurdle.  

    Exactly, thanks for making my point more clear.. Sometimes it’s easier for me to use an example of what I think. That was a definite step forward for the franchise!!

  6. I’m not sure what a “signature win” really is but yesterday’s game will help this team infinitely more than just in the win column. They now know or at least should know what level they need to play at to compete with the elite. Not saying that Dallas is elite, although they have some elite players. But the Bills out executed the Cowboys! They know how a team needs to play to be elite because they did it! I know sounds corny but it’s like riding a bike. You haven’t done it until you actually do and of course you don’t forget!

    There will still be bumps in the road. More to learn and mistakes to make but yesterday this team took a giant step toward being a perennial contender; a force. This took place with many of the players but no one more key to this franchises future than Josh Allen!!

     

    That great throw down the sideline on the run was to Foster. How about Allen’s throw on the run from our end zone to Beasley?? They were beautiful!!

    McD and Frazier changed something about the D-line after the loss to Cleveland.   McD changed the attitude of pretty much the whole team and coaches after that loss.

    You nailed it! Great coaching by McDermott! He recognized what was needed after that disappointing loss at Cleveland and told them to play fearless! Very impressed!

    Cody Ford has struggled so far this season and this is a HUGE matchup.  The Broncos are better than their record and in particular on D.  I think we need to run counters, draws, and QB options to nuetralize Von Miller, or he could easily eat Ford alive and have a good game.  Key matchup is actually JA v Von Miller in the QB option IMHO.  

    Definitely need to run the ball well and Allen will need to recognize when to change a play. Good test for him and this team!

    That can't be the case for an entire season tho .. we aren't the 91 no huddle Bills

     

    And my point was it actually hinders QB development long-term

    Depends if Josh actually learns from each situation or just continues to rely on Daboll? If it helps him to decipher coverages so that he will recognize this stuff in the future on his own, I’m all for it! He still has to execute post snap which seems to be improving!
